-
last nite i saw newspaper. WanBao. it says tt somenone in sg has bought a mclaren F1 for 3.92m. any more details anyone?
-
Mclaren used to be WOW WOW..but I feel its abit old fashioned or outdated now leh.
-
Its been bought buy a British not a Singaporean and it going to be register at some where in Europe
-
its so ahead of it time that its not outdated in anyway...it still can make mincemeat of most of the supercars u can think of...apart from the veyron...Originally posted by Really mama?:Mclaren used to be WOW WOW..but I feel its abit old fashioned or outdated now leh. -
Not the first...
-
The car cost ard 2 Mil but register in SG going to cost him cls to 10 Mil!!!!
So this tell u one thing in SG, Buy 1 car in SG u can get at least 2 car minimum outside without restriction on the years of usage

after all that money and trouble, it still arrives at the same traffic light as the Picanto.

Really mama? You are wrong mama..McLaren F1 was one of the most advanced supercars ever at its time and it is still cutting edge even until today..AE86tofu is right..it'll make mincemeat of nearly all supercars out there now except for the Veyron..it even has a supple ride!Originally posted by Really mama?:Mclaren used to be WOW WOW..but I feel its abit old fashioned or outdated now leh. -
Person who bought it is not a Singaporean..a foreigner (probably British guy)..So I'm wondering did he buy it for his own collection in Singapore or is he going to bring it out of Singapore..I dunno..I saw the article on MyPaper..he bought it for S$3.92million and it ain't registered..Registering it would cost him from S$10million to S$13million..
Even if he's keeping it in Singapore, we won't have a chance to see it on our roads since it ain't registered..

Excise taxes, insurance, road tax and COE and blah blah blah..Originally posted by eviljustice:why so high?? -
I think the reason he got it here is because its hard to get in Europe or America as very little of the car is produced.
-
the best part of the mclaren is that u can drive it in any part of the world as there is no left or right hand drive...its center...

weird...brainwashed???Originally posted by AE86tofu:its so ahead of it time that its not outdated in anyway...it still can make mincemeat of most of the supercars u can think of...apart from the veyron... -
what wierd....its a fact what...its BMW POWERED engine coupled with its super lightweight body and good handling can BEAT the living hell outta the MERCEDES SLR mclaren...Originally posted by tofushop193:weird...brainwashed???
and yes it can take more passengers as well 
-
based on the specs and so on, it can still beat many supercars. Anyway, Im only giving my own opinion and not forcing it on you.Originally posted by AE86tofu:its so ahead of it time that its not outdated in anyway...it still can make mincemeat of most of the supercars u can think of...apart from the veyron... -

The newspaper say only 65 in total..but I doubt so leh..I thought F1s used in races like the F1 GTR are modified to make it road legal and after that sold to interested buyers? Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr. Bean) has a F1 GTR isn't it?Originally posted by sand king:I think the reason he got it here is because its hard to get in Europe or America as very little of the car is produced. -
1140kg unladen and dry weight to be exact! Amazing! That's roughly the weight of a Kia Picanto with 4 passengers and boot filled with items..Originally posted by AE86tofu:what wierd....its a fact what...its BMW POWERED engine coupled with its super lightweight body and good handling can BEAT the living hell outta the MERCEDES SLR mclaren... and yes it can take more passengers as well -

Total Production
In total, McLaren built the following amount of F1s and variants:
* 65 F1s (plus 5 prototypes)<
* 5 F1 LMs (plus 1 prototype)
* 2 F1 GTs (plus 1 prototype)
* 28 F1 GTR race cars
Total production is thus 72 road legal F1s, 28 racing cars, and 7 prototypes
Newpaper did their research
but one thing good about this car is that when a new owner buys it, Mclaren takes the car and refurbishes it to a brand new state (heard from Fifth Gear [If im not wrong]) -
if u drive one in Singapore, later someone driving modified subaru or evo tried to ownED it. LOL.

They should have included other road-legal F1s..so it should be a total 72 road-legal F1s..newspaper only say 65 (which is the normal F1)..Originally posted by sand king:Wiki:

And F1 GTR race cars are also converted to being road-legal and sold isn't it? So it's more than 72 ma..

Then they will be so disappointed..Originally posted by hiphop2009:if u drive one in Singapore, later someone driving modified subaru or evo tried to ownED it. LOL.
