Welcome to the Club! Mine's silver. Upon recieving it (Like 5 Months after I ordered) I played with it and then took it a apart 9Screws on the Bottom) ad looked at that sweet V12. If you take yours apart, be careful some parts may break. I quickly put it back together and now it is amognst my Ferrari's and Porsches. hehehe. :)

Is it a real car, or is it a model ?

At first I thought WOW this guy got a MClaren, so new so cool, then I kinda compare it to the cardboards or what ever it was


So is it just a model or is it the real road going thing ???

that would be a model. notice the peice of paper that it is sitting on?? the real thing has gold foil lining the engine bay. this one has plastic. the real one has 627 hp, this one has a about .432 hp going down a hill.

More like .000432 with a tailwind. It does have suspension though!

and notice how i put 1:18 maisto mclaren. it does have suspension but unlike my 360 spider it doesn't have any brakes, i feel that this is cheap of maisto, brakes are the coolest!

I now what you mean. I like my 550's brakes the best. One of the rear wheels falls off often so I can get a good look at those sweet discs.

(Homer Voice) Sweet Cross-drilled Discs (End Homer Voice) Ya that's them, for some reason not all of my cars have that feature. I'm just trying to think if any others have cool features like that, hmmmmmm. Ahh, yes, my 911 Turbo has some like that, it was my second one. I also like the "Shift Knobs" on the cars, all of my Ferraris have the standard six speed with the cool Cue Ball Aluminium Shifter, it's details like those that make the car more astetically (SP?) pleasing.

my 360 spider is an F1 :( i want a 6 spd though, maybe i'll get a 6 spd 355 later this month.

Nice model you got there..
I have only the UT McLaren's actually I have McLaren f1, McLaren F1 LM and the McLaren F1 GTR #59 Lemans.
It is really fun to collect models! dont you think?

dream on ! If that happened to all my models, i think i'd give the sultan of brunei a run for his money.

Sweet model. I always wanted a model of the F1 but I can never find one in the model car and hobby places I go to:(

That one is a die-cast 1:18 scale car. I've got the same one. I wish somebody would make a plastic kit of it.

Why...pre-made die casts are so much better.

MAISTO?? Why did you get a Maisto? Are they the only company that makes these things? Is the quality good??? I am strongly against buying Maisto unless I see the modle in person and get a close up look at the quality. How much did you pay? Are you staisfied?

paid about $30 USD for it and I am extremely satisfied, although the Enzo took the McLarens spot in the display cabinet. The F1 is now on the second shelf down.

I got to get me one. Been looking for awile not able to find one though
