The sad part is I actually saw people quote figures from this page on another forum (non-automotive forum, where the discussion of cars is pretty much limited to narrow minded insults slung back and forth in european coupes vs. american muscle)

haha, a good laugh just before i go to bed on christmas eve :) ;)

ok, i know y'all might laugh at me, but they aren't making any more McLaren's? why stop after 300. second, when did VW buy Lamborghini? and since when did VW have ties in w/ Bently?

no, they arent making anymore F1 chassis.

VW owns Audi, Audi owns Lamborghini. so VW owns Lamoborghini indirectly through Audi. VW also owns Bentley, this is why the Bentley EXP Speed 8 shares the same chassis as its Audi R8 cousin. however, i dont know the exact dates of which Audi bought out those two companies.

so there is no possible way to still get a mclaren? do you think that they will come back out in the future?

McLaren stopped the production after 100 cars, I think, not 300.

That is because first: Mclaren wanted the F1 to maintain a high value even after years, and by limiting to 100 cars, the F1 will remain exclusive.

Second: Mclaren made no real profit from the F1's, so increasing the production from 100 to something like 400 would have no benefits to them.

It was actually 99, but it's no big deal. The count of 100 includes a GT prototype, and other prototypes were not counted in the final production number.

the link not working anymore?

Here are all the stupid comments
"the evocative 550bhp BMW V12 engined" 627 bhp
"McLaren affecting a cut-off after only 300 units were built" 100
"McLaren F1 set an all time record for straightline speed when it thundered to a top speed in excess of 278mph" 240mph
"Today McLaren won't be able to sell you a F1 because they have stopped making it " you can buy a mclaren through the factory
haha wonder where they got their info from

haha, stupid for sure.
