The Ferret True, and you know you've made a good car, that passed under the radar when it was new back in 1993, which few purchased (hence why they made a racing version to sell more of them) and which was an economic loss to the company, but now is revered among enthusiasts and collectors alike and is almost priceless. Time is a great way to measure the quality and genius of a work. Great works retain their appeal and grow stronger over the years, even if they weren't instantly hailed when first released. I suppose the mid 90's recession was to blame too and the price was astronomic for a car back in 1993. Another thing people sometimes forget. Unlike many other supercars, the McLaren F1 proved its worth in racing and won its first 24 Hours of LeMans race in 1995, beating purpose-designed sportscar prototypes no less.

+Zaid Siddiqui It got amazing praise and admiration in the car magazines that tested it and it truly was ahead of its time. When they drove it around cities however nobody turned their head (few did and only as a delayed reaction) and few recognized what it was. 1993-1994 was in the pre-information society days and the only way to stay updated about new, amazing cars was by reading the leading car magazines. Only genuine car enthusiasts read those. Had we not had easy access to information through the internet and an abundance of videos we can watch any time it's likely the McLaren F1 would have become a modern day Bugatti Royale or Duesenberg SJ - amazing cars at their time few had heard of, or even knew existed, which saw a limited production due to a bad economic climate. The early 90's was a time of serious economic recession so it was a bad time to release a supercar in. Jaguar's XJ220 was the world's fastest production car in 1992 but most of those that had pre-ordered one in 1988 refrained from purchasing one as wasting money on an expensive car made little sense when even the wealthy risked going out of business. Many XJ220's even stood unsold for some years. The Bugatti EB110 was another short-lived supercar which was exceptionally well-made at the time but which ended production with less than 100 ever purchased (even though Michael Schumacher purchased one for himself following his first Formula 1 title). The first rebirth of Bugatti (1990-1995) went bankrupt. While the McLaren F1 was easily better than either of the two mentioned supercars it still appeared right after they had and the economy was still in the stages of recovering. The asking price of a F1 was also an astronomic 635,000 Pound Sterling - which was several times more expensive than any other car at that time. Even those who could afford one probably wondered if it was a wise investment. Gordon Murray, the man who designed it, originally intended it to be the "ultimate road car". As such it was *not* to be raced. Even though some individuals expressed interest in using privately entered racing versions (with no official factory backing) nothing happened until McLaren decided that a racing version (the GTR) would just be a modified F1 the owners could convert back to road-legal specification once the racing season was over. 28 GTR's were made. That's almost half the number of the 64 F1's that were made so it goes without saying that the GTR's boosted the sales of the car. Following the 1995 Le Mans 24 hour win (with 5 cars in the top 6 finishing positions) 5 LM's were made too. The racing success in the BPR series and LeMans helped boosting its reputation too because how can you argue against racing success? With modern eyes it's easy to see the greatness of the McLaren F1, but like I said, it passed under the radar when it was new. It took several years before it become a legendary supercar among the public too. If you said that your favorite car was a McLaren F1 back in 1994 most would say:"What's that? I've never heard of such a car."

@@CPiGTi You're missing the entire point. I never said people don't make NA cars anymore. I said that when going for records, such as top speed or acceleration, NA cars, with our current technology, is usually behind all the other ways of making a car go fast. That's why the F1 is still the fastest NA car, 25 years later. The guy I responded to, made it sound more impressive than it actually is. Obviously it's still going to be the fastest NA production car, after all these years, because nobody or very few people are trying to beat that record. Because they're too busy making cars with Superchargers, Turbos and hybrid systems, because with our technology it have proven to be superior. It would be the same as talking about how some car is still the fastest steam car, after all these years and how impressive it is. But at the end of the day, it's the fastest steam car, because since then, technology have moved on we've started creating much faster cars running on a way different setup, albeit there might still be enthusiasts doing these things.

We had seen an end to roadcars being able to win LeMans 20 years before. Then we went through the Porsche 956 and 962 days, and all that stuff was over. But the F1 brought it back. Would any of the cars you mention, (or the beautiful La Ferrari) be able to run flat out for 24 hours at LeMans? I kind of doubt it...

+Saif0412 Ceramic pads were actually never designed to be extreme performance or racing brake pads, although they've gotten better, they're more for luxury and convenience (they last longer). The carbon-ceramic material is also a less-effective heat sink than their metallic equivalents instead they act almost like an insulator. *Semi-metallics are the BEST, carbon pads at the track had me clenching my cheeks for the first few turns because they aren't that effective until they warm up. They feel super "squishy", and don't bite like metallics do. If you've ever needed to stop above or around 100mph, METALLICS will have your back, not to mention they keep your rotor perfect, so you just replace the brakes when needed, NOT your wheel.*

What an incredible review. As a fanatic I learnt even more about my all time favourite car. Though I believe there are 5 F1s with the higher mirrors and one is for sure owned by Ralph Lauren (chassis 074). Ron has one which is correct and there is one orange one (chassis 071) in Germany. There's another blu alfa one (040) in the UK. The last one is in Colorado (055).

I wasn't expecting that weird rattling sound when he closed the door on this masterpiece. A little unsettling, that.

Call me crazy but I prefer the F1 over the P1. It is much more simple and less confusing than its successor, the P1. At the same time, it is rarer and more expensive. The P1 has much more technology and more horsepower, but it is slower than its predecessor. The F1 was a legendary icon in 1993. It gained fastest production car in the world with its 3.2 second 0-60 time (3 seconds for F1 LT) and a 240 mph top speed (243 for F1 LT). No other previous fastest production car could even match its top speed. The F40 was 201 mph, the Jaguar XJ220 was 220 mph, and the Miura was only 167 mph. The legendary classic is still the fastest naturally aspirated car in the world. It is powered by a naturally aspirated BMW V12 engine. The P1 instead of settling for a V12 has a V8 instead. Which results in 769 bhp. With the electric motors inputting 134 bhp helping it, the total output is 903 bhp. Like its rival, the 918 spyder, it has a all electric mode, allowing it to become a full electric supercar. The P1 is highly advanced in technology but all that takes a little but of fun out of driving one. The F1 Is more simple with nothing but a BMW sourced naturally aspirated V12 engine resulting in 627 bhp. That is all I want in a car. A working highly powered engine, not any fancy gadgets, no all electric mode, no electric motors helping out the car, or any modes altering how the car performs, although that seems quite nice. If I want to show off in public, that is. I just want a normal supercar that is fun to drive. The F1 fits this. The P1 also fits this, but it is a more fancier supercar.

If you do a documentary please include test drives of a LM, a GT and a road-modified GTR as well as covering the Le Mans win :)

Just imagine being Ron Dennis. You can just have any McLaren you want. I mean not anymore, he's left. But there must have been a period where he could walk in an, at the very least, just borrow one because he can. Sounds like a fun job.

I saw and heard these cars winning at Le Mans, they sounded like screaming banshees straight out of a hell, beautiful

you know a compamy has good staff, when their very first product in a market outperforms all the competitors and is remembered as the best there was 20 years later.
