The sound, the immediacy, the view, it's all just wow. Always loved that car, but honestly, if I had that kind of coin I'd fit a suitable set of wheels/tires and a decent rear spoiler.

Original full HDK spec and GTR 5 spokes is the only way to go. Normally I'd say BBS but I'd make an exception here.

Chassis #014 is my fav.

I'll take #018.

Fit with these wheels, but remake the front wheel to match the rear.

completely agree with chris. If you got the coin, nothing else can really compare to this thing. NA v12, 6 spd, and 2600 pounds. maybe a carrera gt or f50 would come close.

Love Chris Harris and his videos. Great to see someone that has driven some of the greatest cars ever created to be so impacted by a car that was designed and developed 30+ years ago. No doubt McLaren F1 is a GOAT.

The new Gordon Murray T50 comes close
But that also costs 3 million+
The F1 looks better though.

Why can't they make cars like this but then around the 100k mark

yup. 2579 according to car and driver's test from 1994 ( https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...d-test-review/ )

its crazy that it has a v12 yet weighs less than a toyota 86. and was pulling faster trap speeds than an aventador svj on 30 year old tire tech.

correction:
Kerb Weight (Dry): 1,140 kg (2,513 lbs)
Kerb Weight (with fluids): 1,260 kg (2,778 lbs)

I had the fortune to see one in person many years ago in PA. I stared at it for an hour straight because I knew I'd likely never see one in person again. GOAT for sure.

Be fun to drive the F1, the Benz CLK GTR and the 911 GT1 all in the same day.

And then if you could keep one, wonder which one it would be after driving them.
