The McLaren F1 is definitely an awesome sports car, some would argue that it’s not the greatest but I would say it’s almost the greatest, and I consider it way up there with the other greats, even if it doesn’t have flair like a Ferrari.
The main problem is the price tag, I mean the customer that buys this car has to be so rich, with that much money he could buy a damn helicopter, so it defeats the purpose of needing a fast car for transportation, which is the whole reason we have cars. If someone were to spend $1,000,000 on a car just to be stuck in traffic, wouldn’t it be smarter to buy a helicopter, or even better, instead of commuting, he could definitely afford to live closer to where he’s in such a hurry to get to?
So it seems like McLaren was aiming at the "people with no common sense and waaaaay too much money market" when they designed this car? Hey Gordon Murray, you gotta think outside the box!!
But the bottom line is I think this car was just designed as a collector’s car, like a good wine, you put it away for 30 years and then you pull it out.
Also, has the F1 been in other races other than two years in LeMans and the Japanese touring cars series?
