The McLaren F1 still has it 30 years later


The McLaren F1 still has it 30 years later

Of course, the original is the road car, of which a couple of examples are present. One is XP4, the original car in which our very own Andrew Frankel did the performance numbers in 1994 for the famous Autocar road test. Andrew managed among others, a 0-200mph time of under 30 seconds, which is swift going compared to the latest hypercars, let alone in the early 1990s. Joining it is a gray car which, while it’s said to be from a ‘Private Collection’, we know it belongs to a certain famous figure in McLaren’s history. We’re not telling. Another of the road cars wears the GTR wing and nose, comprising what’s known as the High Downforce Kit. This car was first made famous as the example driven both by Tiff Needell and Martin Brundle in his Supercars video feature over 20 years ago. Of course, the claret P380 GJM is the car formerly owned by Mr Rowan Atkinson.
