McLaren F1 GTR
Racing enthusiasts can own a piece of racing history with the McLaren F1 GTR which is one of the 3 successors of the McLaren F1. The F1 GTR is going up for sale from a private collection in Tokyo, Japan. The custom-built race car was introduced in 1995 and is known for its victory at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. The car ran for three years from 1995-1997, had a total of 9 chassis built in the first two years and 10 in its final year.
The chassis that will be up for sale is #28R, originally #27R, but was damaged, and rebuilt for GTC Competition as a spare car, raced late in FIA GT in 1997. In 1997, the car generated a conservative 600hp from its de-stroked 6.0L version of the F1’s 60-degree V12. A standard road-going McLaren F1 recently sold at auction for $4 million so this McLaren F1 variant could fetch a similar price.
