Product Overview

McLaren F1 is a high-performance supercar in production from 1992 to 1998. It was available with several tunes of a naturally-aspirated BMW V12 engine that displaced 6.1 liters.
Perhaps the most iconic English supercar, the McLaren F1 was racing-focused. As such, it lacks amenities that buyers of newer supercars have come to expect. With this approach as well as copious amount of carbon fiber, McLaren was able to make the vehicle rather light, thus improving its handling.
Interestingly, the F1 seats three and has a centered driving position.
