F1

1992-1998

The McLaren F1 was Gordon Murray's vision of the ultimate road car, famous for its central driving position, three-seat layout, carbon-fiber chassis and naturally-aspirated BMW V12. It became the world's fastest production car and, more than three decades later, remains one of the most influential and valuable supercars ever built.

F1 LM

The F1 LM was created to celebrate McLaren's extraordinary 1995 Le Mans victory, where the F1 GTR won overall and four McLarens finished in the top five. It was esentially a road-going, unrestricted interpretation of the race car: more powerful, around 1062kg, stripped of much of the original F1's luxury, and fitted with aggressive aerodynamics.

F1 GT

The F1 GT was the road-going homologation version of the 1997 F1 GTR Longtail, created so McLaren could race the radically redesigned Longtail under GT1 regulations. It retained the F1's same standard V12 and manual transmission but gained distintive extended nose and long-tail aerodynamics, making it much closer visually to the race car.

F1 GTR

The F1 GTR was the race version of the McLaren F1, originally created after customers convinced McLaren to take the road car racing. Despite having less power than the road-going F1 due to racing restrictions, it famously won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright on its first attempt in 1995, beating purpose-built prototypes and taking four of the top five positions.

F1 HDK

The F1 HDK - High Downforce Kit - combines the comfort and three-seat interior of the standard F1 with much of the performance hardware of the F1 LM and GTR. The Extra High Downforce Kit adds a large fixed rear wing, enlarged front splitter, front-arch vents, and other aerodynamic changes that generate significantly more downforce than a normal F1.
