British buyer pays £6.2m for McLaren F1 - McLaren F1 front

McLaren F1 is one of the most iconic supercars of all time. Between 1992 and 1998 just 106 examples were built and only 64 of these were road-going versions with a 627bhp 6.1-litre V12.

Upgraded McLaren MP4-12C, with added drama


Another day, another upgraded supercar: hot on the heels of yesterday’s news of the >Mercedes SLS AMG GT comes news of more power for the McLaren MP4-12C. The 2013 Model Year car goes up from 600 PS to 625 PS from 3.8 litres. That means it is almost the same as the original McLaren F1, which had 627 PS from its 6.1 litre V12 – that is a measure of the increase in engine efficiency over the last 20 years (and the benefits of turbocharging).
