The F1 remains one of the fastest production cars ever made. However, all of the higher top speed machines use forced induction to reach their respective top speeds, whereas the McLaren F1 is naturally aspirated! This particular car is one of the last F1s ever made and it has been driven for less than 2,800 miles (4,506 kilometers).
McLaren made only 64 units of the road-going F1 between the years 1993-1998 and during the supercar’s final year in production, six cars were hand-built in Woking factory in Surrey, England. This Carbon Black example is one of them.
Wearing the chassis number #069, the mesmerizing F1 is registered in U.K. and has received the very best tender loving care from none other than McLaren Special Operations team through its Heritage division.
That means its naturally aspirated V12 engine produces 618bhp and 455lb ft of torque. The 1138kg car can accelerate from 0-60mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds and on to a once record breaking top speed of 240mph (386 km/h), which still makes it on our Top 10 list of fastest cars in the world!
As far as the special three-seat interior is concerned, the driver’s seat is wrapped in black leather with red stitching and it’s flanked by the two passenger seats finished in black Alcantara.
The stealthy supercar rides on 17-inch center-locking magnesium wheels finished in black to match the gorgeous body.
Being pampered by Mclaren Special Operations team, it’s no wonder the car is labeled as being in “concours” and “factory” condition and even comes bundled with bespoke luggage as well as the Facom titanium lightweight tool kit and Facom tool box. In the addition, the buyer will also get all the books and literature that came with the car, along with a limited-run McLaren F1 owner’s watch and a correct-numbered LM Edition of the “Driving Ambition” McLaren F1 book.
McLaren says that number #069 is one of the best examples of the F1 on the planet, and as such, experts think it could sell for a new all-time high price. Similarly maintained F1 sold for close to £9 million last year and market value has increased since then. That has led experts to suggest chassis #069 could sell for between £9 and £10 million (which is approximately 10-11 million Euros).
The car is currently being held at McLaren’s Woking headquarters and is available for viewings. If you’re interested, McLaren will take the car off the market.. once you put down a deposit ofcourse!
