The McLaren F1. 25 years ago it was the fastest street legal car, at 231mph. It's engine cover was gold foil.


it weighs the same as a Miata.

It's worth 12-15 million dollars.

If your engine needs a rebuild, they loan you one so you can keep enjoying your car while it's getting rebuilt at the shop. The engine is a 6.1 liter 650 Hp BMW V12. Honda bailed on the engine supply contract

It's engine cover has a warning light. This was discovered by a German business man who used his F1 as a commuter. It seems at around 190 mph the cover lifted off the sensor enough to trip the warning light... he said that the light came on every drive to work, and every drive home. Lucky guy



this is Bruce Wiener, he had that collection of micro cars
