As one of the most iconic supercars the world has ever seen, the McLaren F1 holds a special place in the hearts of most enthusiasts with its stunning looks and overwhelming performance.

As with most supercar roadsters, there is a pair of gondolas behind each headrest, and behind the air intake sits a clear section of material that exposes the bare carbon fiber tubes.
Although it looks like a two-seater, the F1 roadster has retained its three-seat configuration, with the driver sitting between the two passenger seats.
While it misses the purpose of being a hardcore racing car, it’s interesting to see what could have been if McLaren wanted the F1 to appeal to Hollywood’s rich and famous.
