The F1. It is a much better looking car and faster. Too bad it costs a heap more as well.

well in this case, MBTN is correct.

Roadster, there's no comparison between these two. the F1 is just plain better. who would rather have a V6 instead of a V12?? that V6 is probably a Ford V6, too. btw, the F1 goes 240.14 mph

When purchasing a supercar, such as the XJ220 (If you can find one) or a Mclaren F1, cost is not exactly an issue. People who buy these cars probably aren't making monthly payments, more like one huge one, SO cost dosen't really apply to them.


My vote goes to the Mclaren, until Koenigsegg, Buggatti or Ferrari can get their asses in gear, nobody in the right mind would say anything else.

Its really quite obvious

The F1 pushes the envelope, 103bhp/l, light body, huge power, great drivetrain, insane speed

The XJ220 weighs half a ton more, is cumbersome on a track, half the cylinders... it just doesnt get anywhere near the F1 in any department

I don't know if i'm in right mind but there is a street legal car faster than McLaren F1... it's the Dauer racing porsche 962 Le Mans ... I'm not saying it's better than McLaren , because both are very special cars , but the porsche is a bit faster... 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) in 2.7 and a 406 kph (253.75 mph) top speed.... it's a 850 hp turbocharged engine...
