How many F1's are their?

[Carfreak18]

Hey...How many F1's are out their and how much do they cost?..Thanks

[amanichen]

Here's my lazy answer (these numbers aren't exact.)

About 100 McLarens ever made.

64 road examples
5 LM examples
2 GT road examples
around 23 race examples
5 prototype examples

Of course the number made doesn't include the number which currently exist. I think at least 5 cars have been destroyed by some means (race fire, accident, crash testing, etc.)

Roadgoing F1s had a base price of somewhere around 850,000 USD, but most were bought for around 1 million dollars (because of options and customizations), and most are changing owners for at least 1.2 million.

To expand on his figures...

5 - F1 road car prototypes

64 - Production F1 road cars ('93 - '98)

9 - '95-spec F1 GTRs

1 - F1 LM Prototype

5 - Production F1 LMs

9 - '96-spec F1 GTRs

1 - F1 GT prototype

10 - '97-spec F1 GTR longtails

2 - Production F1 GTs

1 - Spare Chassis

Total = 107

Hi

What have they done with the spare chassi ???/ where is it ??

Thanks

[Peloton25]

Not too sure on that - it could have been used to rebuild one of the many F1s that has been crashed - possibly even a GTR - or it could still be in their posession. Your guess is as good as mine.

What hapend to XP2 the oldest surviver? was it rebuilt and does it beliong to Ron Denis? And is the prototipe gt longtail no included in the longtail figures?

[Peloton25]

The location of XP2 is unknown at this time. I would have thought it would be crushed following the crash test, but apparently it was not. McLaren supposedly held onto it in case further crash testing was needed for other markets like the USA. It may be tucked away in McLaren storage somewhere, but I have never seen photos of it following the crash test shots seen in Driving Ambition.

at least 1 completely destroyed...so tehre WERE 107, but there ARE 106 now. spare chassis is with mclaren.

[Peloton25]

Actually there have been at least 3 completely destroyed, possibly more.

XP1, Dawes, & Pischetsrieder would be the 3 confirmed total losses. There have been others wrecked, some quite severly, but to my knowledge all the rest have been repaired so far.

yah forgot about those but i am pretty sure pischetsrieder had his repaired?

[Peloton25]

Well from all the accounts of the story that I have heard, he rolled the car at very high speed and it was "written off". Normally that means totalled.

The other two cars were not only wrecked, but also caught fire rendering them unrepairable, but I guess it is possible that the one he crashed was repaired.

One story claimed his mother-in-law was in the car at the time of the crash. That probably didn't go over too well.

Theres that pic of one i presume cant be repared in driving ambition. Writen of dosen nesacerily mean i cant be repuilt knowing the sensatilist nature of the press im shore ive herd or Rowin Atkinsons car being writen of prehaps xp2 is still at the crash test center. One thing i was woundering is that the rear top flanks behind and around the engine cover seem to be part of the monocock (sc wont help me with that one) so if a lorry runs into the back of you is that the end of you Mclaren arount the frount its all body panels but if its on its roof and crushes the air intake what then? can the monocock be reparied somehow?

[F1 monster]

The spare chassis is just a tub--no wiring, no paint, no interior fitments, no wheels or suspension assembly, no motor, etc., etc. I realize it's more than a steering wheel or pedal or rubber grommet, but it's still just a spare part and nowhere near a complete car.

It's a chassis so it has a chassis number assigned to it, which is how the cars are identified. But should it really be counted in the number of cars built? I think it would be more accurate to say 106 cars have been built. Using chassis numbers doesn't give the whole picture.

[Mclaren240!]

If anyones intrested i read a while ago that for the crash test xp2 had a concreat block for an engine i thing Gordon Murry said that this was a mistake as it meant thy couldent drive the car away may be able to scan if anyone wants.
