  • it's F1 LM :)

  • @McEdduarD no its not. As stated before, its a standard McLaren F1 with the High Downforce Kit (IE GTR Looking) and 1 of 2 street F1s with the F1 LM engine in it.

  • I would also like to see an updated mclaren f1, with a turbo. A 4 cylinder lotus esprit with a stock chargecooler and a stock turbo can do 170 (see "lotus fast and furious" on youtube). Just imagine what a mclaren f1 could do with those enhancements!

  • HELL! Thats not only a Car - that is a dream!!!

  • Am I The Only One Waiting For It To Transform??

  • hands down the sexiest car ever

  • @buckncowboy mclaren's gearbox was designed ground up cause no existing gearbox could handle the torque from the bmw engine

  • can u put a spitfire engine in this?

  • Want...

  • lololollolololol i didnt sign out of the mivrosoft store lololololol

  • does anyone know that had they put this 691hp version instead of the 627hp xp5 on ehra lessein, the bugatti's 407kmh record would never had been made?

  • @ASSHOLELA

    sans wing and HDF kit of course.

  • A /red/ McLaren F1 LM??? AWESOME!!!

  • i feel honored just to hear that car in a video

  • MINBLOWING!

  • Comment removed

  • whats awesome about this car is that a video of it doing basically nothing still gets 150,000 views... Love this car

  • that car seems fast even when standing still

  • The BMW engine in this is incredible

  • Wow this should read "F1 doing a 3 point turn"

  • After holding the world fastest road car title for ten years ...there is no getting from the fact that the Maclaren F1 is the greatest of all time when it comes to supercars...what other super car can hold the title of the worlds fastest raod car as long as the F1 did ?? non ! As that title now days passed around like an old out dated i pod lol

  • this is mclaren f1 #73. standard road car fitted with high downforce kit and updated lm engine.

  • wouldn't mind seeing a replica (as long as its known it is) mclaren f1 with tons of power yea...maybe twin turbo mercedes v12

  • @alexander1485 the f1 have a BMW M V12 engine not a mercedes v12

  • @clkgrt I know, but if you followed along, he was saying if it was "possible" to fit a turbo to a McLaren F1.... and then read my previous post.

  • @alexander1485 Offcourse its possible :D

  • @alexander1485 the designer goron murray actually talked about that and what he thought of the veyron i found it on a website on the bottom of the wikipedia page of the veyron on the source list

  • @clkgrt I thought i herd somewhere that they made f1s with BMW, engines and some with Mercedes. Tis was way back in the day i herd this like 97,98

  • @MegaYeshua33 no all the mclarens have a especial made v12 engine

  • Does anyone know if it's possible to fit a twin turbo on the McLaren F1?

    Just to imagine how fast it really could be with twin turbo, and when it allready do 390 kph with the limiter off, how fast could it be with turbo?

    Maybe it could set the new world speed record like the Dagger Gt company intend to do?

    But then you would probably sacrifice the originality of it's soul, and that would be too bad.

    But i still like to play with the thought of it ^^

    Mosler is as close to the F1 as it can get

  • @spectrospirit no one would do it, at least, thats sane enough (since that Bmw 6.1L engine is already perfect)

  • @alexander1485 Yeah i know.

    But if it's possible to put together a kit car as close to the spesification as it can get, i would gladly fit two double superchargers to a 700 bhp N/A V12 engine, but if it's on Etanol, it should be even more vicious ^^

    Then, at least, the original won't be ruined either.

    So to say, when fast isn't nearly as fast as it could be, why not crank it up with some kits?

  • @spectrospirit The plastic parts around it will finally melt by the temp generated by engine, not recommended.

  • @spectrospirit you would need to completely re-configure the car for the entra power...

  • @spectrospirit

    Nobody would modify the Mclaren because it would destroy the value. It's a classic car now.  Just like how stock muscle cars in mint condition are worth over 100K now but modded ones aren't worth nearly as much. It would be cool to see a modded Mclaren F1 but it would blasphemy to do it a the same time.

  • @Plur307 An almost identical kit car would do the trick. It's not a McLaren though, but it'll still look the same. Lets say... copy & paste? It was just a thought, nothing serious.

    But guess what, HTT Pléttore did a McLaren, not a copy, but something different.

    Check it out.

  • @spectrospirit

    I was watching more videos of Mclarens last night and saw one of a Mclaren that had an engine fire. The rear 1/3 of the car burned up but the front looks fine. That would be an awesome project car. Drop some crazy engine in there and rebuild the back end. As far as I know that car hasn't been rebuilt.

  • @Plur307

    in russia they have modded bugatti veyrons, koenigseggs and saleens, and they don't cost much less than a mclaren f1.

    People or companies like DragTimes.Info or M5board wouldnt mind doing that to see how fast a mclaren f1 really really can go.

  • @spectrospirit I would rather have a supercharger then a turbo.

  • They say there are quite a number of track cars converted to road use. This could be one of them.

  • @netmatrix75 don't think so, But I believe this is one of the first cars fitted with the HDF kit. 

  • @netmatrix75 It's not a GTR, it's a standard F1 (chassis #73) with with the High Downforce Kit and an LM engine.

  • Wow an LM also not just an F1...

  • @XaleTorren sigh, its not a LM. BUT It does have a LM engine. Its a Hybrid I guess lol

  • @tugbote St. Petersburg, Florida, Vinoy Hotel in 2008.

  • @spsickfastsupra again a non relevant comment, deleting, sorry sir.

  • how can you mistake such a beautiful car as a McLaren F1 with an ugly CLK-GTR 

  • @MrSpyKload what? I filmed them separately. Maybe try looking. 

  • @alexander1485 I misread the description

    I thought you meant people tought this car was a CLK-GTR

    sorry

  • @MrSpyKload its ok. I had to MODIFY the description because of all the comments about the CLK-GTR which obviously got its own video.

  • Ah.. A Mclaren F1 and a Benz CLK GTR together. I wonder if this reminds anyone else of the good ol' days of early 21st century gaming. Need for speed Hot Pursuit 2, from back in 2002!

  • @kcole939 , Yes totally , i can't see a Mclaren F1 or a CLK GTR anymore without thinking of hot pursuit , its still my best game of all time.

    The last 3 races on hot pursuit were super hard , racing on a race track instead of on the street , i always used the orange Mclaren F1 long tail.

    A new need for speed hot pursuit comes out 19th november 2010

  • @kcole939 wtf? 1998 Hot Pursuit 1 btw!!

  • @PanchoTadura Never played that one, so I wouldn't know.

  • @kcole939 you should play it, its awesome for its year! but more i recommend NFS IV

  • @kcole939 Best ever driving game, in that time :D

  • @kcole939 That game makes the new one look like shite.

  • @MoarLolz Finally someone makes a good point about the newest NFS game.

  • @kcole939 fuck yea!!! hot pursuit 2 was the shit!

  • @kcole939

    I was thinking of late 20th century gaming... Need For Speed: High Stakes

  • is the HDF kit more or less rare than the high mirror option?

    btw is there an F1 with both

  • the should put this on ehra lessein and watch the f1 beat the veyron.

    680 vs 627hp means an extra 10mph.

  • ooooo i just had a crisis.

  • I see a CLK at 0:30

  • I rather be inside that car than inside Kate Beckinsale!

  • @Wardogz1z

    Or both.

  • best car ever to hit the road : )

  • so an hdf kit consist of what

  • @block937 Front *GTR LOOKING* bumper and rear wing. Maybe some other small details.

  • Don Wallace also owns a Veyron, fyi.

  • @joeboi85 Well... he had 2... the #1 Pur Sang and a red/black standard Veyron... but I don't think he has the Pur Sang anymore. I think the Forza Collezione has it now. (I want to go there and check them out but they haven't answered any emails, and I don't know anyone to go with me... and don't want to go myself)

  • @alexander1485 Where is it located??

  • @joeboi85 no comment.

  • This car just screams brilliance. The Veyron is just technology, not much passion went into the Veyron. I mean a W16 engine?? Are you SERIOUS? This car had to rearrange its seating positions and everything. This car in my opinion is the fastest car in the world :)

  • @joeboi85 well, it still is the fastest Naturally (or Normally) Aspirated car in the world!

  • look at that benz clk at o:30

  • @darrellallen94 indeed that's a CLK-GTR.. one of the 25 built...

  • theres no set price but I believe F1s go for 1.5-2 mill these days, more than a normal veyron but less than a *special edition* veyron. Not bad for a 15 or so year old car (93-98 was production run)

  • How much does this cost??

  • Thats not a Mclaren thats a McBeauty!

  • Don wallaces cars?

  • @coandcambria69 yes and if you know him or could put me into contact with him, Id like to see them again... its been 2 years :(

  • 0:30 - 0:37 LOOK AT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN: MERCEDES CLK-GTR!!!

  • @boeloezz LIKE OMFG, I ALSO GOT A VIDEO OF THAT TOO!

  • I'd much rather have the short tail version

  • @buttnut1080 Um, This is the short tail version? I don't think theres any street legal long tail versions (maybe 2 or 3 in the world?) in the US.

  • I can't even imagine more beautiful car!!!

  • McLaren could easily design a modern F1 which could beat the Bugatti Veyron. The thing is to make such a car profitable, and the Veyron actually is a loss affair for Volkswagen. The amount of money invested in it and the cost of building one is more than the what they will ever earn from selling them.

    Right now McLaren is planning an all new model range, and they started with their new entry model MP4-12C, meant as their big seller. The successor to the F1 will come eventually.

  • @McLarenMercedes I agree, but McLaren should have called its new car the F2.... not some F1 sounding name.

  • @alexander1485 are you retarded? the reason why they call it the f1 is for formula 1! there is no such thing as formula 2

  • @ltilwayne87 actually there is, FIA Formula 2, search Google.

  • Clk Gtr to the left also vedy vedy niiccceee

  • IT'S GORGEOUS"

  • i also like that mercedes right next to it..

    other than that the McLaren F1 was the best car ever made, fuck Zonda's, Bugatti's, Ferrari's, and Lamborghini's

    what i don't understand was, why was about only 90 McLaren's made?

  • @AznBoiiBTW because they costed so much to make and Gordon Murray probably didn't want more than 100 made anyway.

  • @AznBoiiBTW

    because when presented in 1994 the world was still recovering from the low conjucture in the global economy, and spending insane amounts of money on a car was far from the insane days of the late 80's when cars like the Porsche 959 and Ferrari F40 became more expensive used than new.

    The McLaren F1 was almost a million dollars back in 1994 so a selected few in the world could afford it back then.

    Also they were expensive and complex to make.

  • 0:29 wow mercedes clk-gtr

  • this in an F1 LM there are only 5 in the world i think

  • @vette215 why I do I have to keep repeating myself? Its a Standard F1 with the High Downforce Kit... and a LM ENGINE... 1 of 2 equiped with a LM engine, but its not a REAL LM... not part of the original 5.

  • Man, where did you see these awesome cars?!

  • in Florida.... from car shows in and about florida.

  • my dreamcar:X:X:X and for everyone...READ THIS! ~ don't compare the Mc with the Veyron....the F1 / F1 LM / F1 Longtail all were built 15 years before the bugatti...the ultimate drag race with those cars proved that the McLaren is faster than the veyron (0 - 210 km/h) but then it's another story...also the MC has a better POWER-WEIGHT ratio than the veyron! ~~anyway the best ever built racing vehicle in my opinion still is the MC:) ...remember the golden engine bay:D)

  • true that. Watch the Top Gear Veyron vs F1 race

  • Comment removed

  • awesome, where was this

  • mclaren b4 veyron anyday,

  • maclaren f1 gtr nose and big wing but ir isn't an f1 gtr cos it is missing the extended rear... that is the best and rarest model :(

  • Its not a GTR anyway, its a standard F1 with a LM engine (1 of 2) in it and I believe it was the first F1 with the High Downforce Package (just the front bumper/wing) to be fitted... its not trying to be something it isn't (IE being retrofitted into a GTR)

  • ok

    still fantastic but the only one for me is the F1 GTR 'street' in black... don't suppose even if i had the money i could buy one anyway cos who be stupid enough to sell one!!! lol

    other supercars in my collectio would include:

    red f50 spider

    black se 30 diablo with factory wing

    ... one day

  • Theres 3 classes of supercars I think. Starting with the most definition of a "supercar"

    1. Mclaren F1, and Dauer 962LM

    2. Ferrari, Maserati, Bugatti etc.

    3. Evos, Imprezas, Skylines, Supras and everything else

  • If Bugatti is 1, then wheres my gold plated engine bay and over 100hp/litre N/A and over 10nm per 100cc of N/A technology? ;)

  • Were to start....

    The veyron is AWD, faster than a McLaren F1 in every aspect. 0-60,0-100,0-200, and in top speed. Now I must add that the McLaren F1 does look a little better than the Veyron but the Veyron is a great looking car also. Im not taking nothing away from the F1 it is a absolute EPIC car. It just is not a practical every day car. I mean its a feat alone for the Veyron weighing 4400 pounds to go from knot-60 in 2.5 seconds.

    Cheers!

  • the veyron looks terrible. looks like a fat middle aged balding office worker compared to other supercars, such as the mclaren. veyron is faster in every aspect? cornering? lol. idiot.

  • For one thing the Veyron is not ugly... Well lets see here on the Top Gear track it had a very very fast time. and for the Ring it was driven by a non professional. He was a reporter. Not only that but the track was not clear. So there was overtaking which cuts down on the lap time. So your the idiot here. The Veyron can take a corner maybe not as good as the F1 but it was not built to take a corner. Learn your facts and do some research before bashing the best car in the world! From "the idiot"

  • learn my facts? what do i need to learn? what did i say that was "wrong"?

    the looks of the veyron are opinion, so we will not agree no matter.

    you were wrong about the veyron being better, and i quote, 'in every aspect' than the mclaren, and you agreed.

    never did i say which would be faster round an entire circuit, so all of your track bullshit with the veyron is irrelevant.

    'best car in the world' - fanboy opinion, again.

    why am i an idiot again? lol. you're the idiot.

  • Your a idiot for saying the Veyron can't take a corner. Well you didn't come out and say it can't take a corner. But by you saying "cornering?" to me means that your saying it can't take a corner. a 1:18.3 on the Top Gear track. Hmm thats a damn good lap time. So by me saying learn your facts... You obviously have not researched anything about the veyron because your just going on what you have heard about the Veyron not being able to take a corner.

  • saying the veyron cant corner was being said with the mclaren in mind. it cant corner as well as the mclaren can. stop with this track bullshit. 'cornering?' was a simple remark because i had assumed you forgot completely about it by saying the veyron is better in every aspect. dont bother arguing... your stupidity is astounding. you are arguing on the basis of what you have WANTED me to have said, not what i actually have said.

  • Your a ignorant fool... Someone does not have to litarly say something for them to mean it.... JW do you think the Veyron can take a corner? And where does the Veyron fall? Trust me I could car less of your opinion is. It means nothing to me.

  • blah blah... more vague bullshit, "your opinion means nothing to me" - that is a foolish attack trying to hide the fact that you have been made to look like an idiot. nice one. of course the veyron can take a corner, just not as well as the mclaren, like i had said in the first place. lol.

  • @scoobyfan2009

    I'm sorry but anyone who puts McLaren and Maserati in the same category doesn't know what they're talking about.

  • lol veyron fanboys.. the veyron is a piece of shit. overpriced, heavy as fuck, and it cant corner.....

  • 3. tuners. not supercars.

  • how much hp does the LM have?

  • The McLaren is dope, but what about that CLK GTR?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • as I said before, I Made a separate video of it.....

  • this is GTR

  • no its not, Its a Normal F1 with a LM High Downforce Kit (GTR body panels and a wing) and it does have an LM engine in it.

  • LM engine ? ...and difference betwen normal and LM engine ? ...sry for my EN :)

  • McLaren built officially (but some people have converted their race GTRs to street use and also in papaya orange) built 5 "LM" Mclarens, essentially a GTR for the street (without a race cockpit) and this car has an "LM" engine (more horse power)

  • thnx :)

  • @ktosi11 The LM engine has 680 HP as opposed to 627 from the normal one..

  • absolutly amazing

  • el padre de los superdeportivos!!!!

  • Why are we looking at the McLaren? The CLK is worth much more money! Both are beautiful though!

  • well, I did get a video of the CLK-GTR too (durrr :p )

  • McLaren F1 is a legend, a ghost, a real peace of art and heart.

  • @dealerovski82 Well said, indeed a car that will never be replaced as a whole, sure there are quicker, faster, and better handling cars, but no vehicle hits on every level like the F1 did/does. It will be THE car for a very long time......

    IMO, The F1 is simply: The God of all vehicles.

  • @Ryacuski The F1 is more expensive I think especially this version. You can look it up on classicdriver there are some CLK GTR's for sale there which are around 850.000 pounds. An F1 is more expensive than that.

  • Haha, sounds like a beast! Love it!

  • A McLaren F1 and a CLK GTR..., what more could you ask for.

  • if you go to the "2008 St. Petersburg festival of speed" pictures.... there was a Pur Sang (real) Veyron, Enzo, CLK-GTR, Mac F1 (and before I got there, Porsche GT1) all lined up! but check out the pics.

  • George Harrison had one of these circa 1995. You see him driving it in footage filmed before the remaining Beatles did the Anthology sessions back then.

  • the mercedes in the back is very nice too...mclaren kicks ass though

  • OMGGGGG an F1 AND a CLK-GTR.. omgomgomg

  • wow its the LM version to they only made 3 of those!!!!!

  • no, its not, its a standard mclaren f1 with a LM engine and High Downforce(HDF) Kit (IE to make it look like a GTR) on it.

    PS- there were only 5 LMs made but the Sultan of Brunei got 2.

  • I believe that, the Sultan of Brunei had every car that no one else had.

  • except classsics.... he didn't have many cars older than the 70s or 60s?

  • Silly question - is the LM engine not just the same as the original engine, because according to wiki (not the most reliable source, I know, but I don't have time to check elsewhere at the moment) the LM is just an unrestricted version of the GTR engine, which itself is just a restricted version of the original?

  • Well, its called the LM engine because it is the same engine used in the F1 LM which was a GTR with an interior and street legal (yea, I know some GTRs in england/europe have been made street legal since... but i'm talking about originally)

  • nice clk gtr amg downthere.

  • That CLK is sick as hell.

  • damn that is THE car to die for

  • Hell yeah

  • from the side it kinda looks like a pagani

  • uhh. no. pagani has a much more elongated back and tail

  • ive nvr seen one of these wrecked, beyond repair, before. prolly because they dont sell to stupid shits like ferrari enzo owners

  • if you read about the crash tested car (they had to crash, because of law), after it did the front impact, it was able to drive away lol its a strong car.

  • well other than the crash test

  • what is the solo for that????

  • its way better than the veyron. the mclaren looks so sick and the veyron look like a test egg with shit all over it.

  • @frankangulo25 but still both are way better than the ssc aero

  • not also the mclaren is 2 hahah but ya good point very nice car

  • to me this is still the worlds fastest production car, its so legit. doesnt use any traction control, any of the gadgets we have today. and its NA! and it can hit up to 240mph? and can put up that much of fight against the veyron on a straightaway race without any forced induction and with less power and cylinders? that sounds alot more amazing to me than the veyron already. and im willing to bet that this car would handle a veyron at a circuit track like nothing

  • this is the one car i have always wanted scince when i was 5 im 13 now and i still love that car

  • if there were 65 F1's made and 5 prototypes then how is that #73

  • not all numbers are sequential. (because of the GTR's and LM's [5]) that were made.

  • top gear did a race against the F1 and the veyron and the F1 had a faster takeoff but after the turbo's spooled up on the veryon it was gone... remember the f1 has a better power to weight ratio

  • on a track the mclaren would spank the veyron

  • not a dragstrip or dead straight track sadly.

  • You add a turbo/supercharger to a McLaren and it'll destroy the Bugatti on a straight as well.
