Completing the hypercar look of the car, the F1 features swan-wing doors
and very very unique and awesome luggage compartments in front of the
rear wheel arches. The F1 also has an unusual 3-seater configuration
with the driver in the center to maximize visibility, Formula One
inspired suspension, 235/45ZR17 front tires, 315/45ZR17 rear tires,
Brembo vented and cross-drilled brake discs (332 mm in the front and 305
mm in the rear) with four piston calipers all around and a computer
controlled handbrake gives the F1 handling and performance commensurate
with its speed.
The McLaren F1 was offered in three street legal variations, the
standard road car, the F1 GT and the F1 LM. The F1 GTR version was
offered for the racing circuit. Only 106 F1s were built, 69 of the
standard, 6 F1 LMs, 3 F1 GTs and 28 F1 GTRs. The standard F1s originally
sold for about $970,000 with the LMs and GTs being a bit more
expensive. Because of McLaren's dedication to this car, they are still
offering service and maintenance on all F1s. A good example of an F1 can
sell at auction for over $3 million. In 2010, Gooding & Company
Pebble Beach Auction sold a 1994 F1 for $3,575,000.
