Considered as the Holy Grail of motoring<\/strong>,the McLaren F1 chassis #28<\/strong> was sold for a record auction price of around $10 million. In comparison, the first McLaren F1<\/strong> produced in 1993 costed\u00a0around 750,000 euros and was, at that time, the most expensive production car in the world . But now, an anonymous British petrolhead has spent a record-breaking estimated $10 million on the McLaren F1 #28<\/strong> and thus joined an exclusive and prestigious group of F1<\/strong> enthusiasts such as Rowan Atkinson, Jay Leno or Ralph Lauren…<\/p>\n

The Revival of a legendary supercar<\/h2>\n

Regarded as the most desirable supercar<\/strong> over the past 40 years, only 106\u00a0McLaren F1<\/strong> were produced\u00a0between 1993 and 1997 and only 64 pieces have been granted a road approval.\u00a0Moreover, only two red examples were produced.<\/p>\n

First owned by Michael Andretti, the son of the famous McLaren<\/strong> driver: Mario Andretti<\/strong>, the McLaren F1 #28<\/strong> wasn’t road-legal in the US. Thus, the supercar<\/strong> was sold to a Japanese collector. The car was then traded hands twice in the US\u00a0and\u00a0has since then been owned by two California-based F1<\/strong> enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

After spending the past ten years on the West Coast of America, the McLaren F1 #28<\/strong>\u00a0has now returned to British soil thanks to Hertfordshire-based DK Engineering<\/strong>. Considered as one the most desirable car ever produced, the\u00a0McLaren F1<\/strong> is also one of the hardest to buy !<\/p>\n

Thanks to James Conttingham<\/strong>, a vehicle acquisition consultant at DK Engineering<\/strong>, and after six months of effective research, the McLaren F1 #28<\/strong> was, after all, revealed to this anonymous Brit who literally fell in love with this legendary\u00a0supercar <\/strong>and bought it for around $10 million. The car will now be shipped over to the UK and is considered as the new world’s most expensive modern car.<\/p>\n

Equipped with a 6.1 litre BMW engine developing 627 bhp, it is not surprising that the McLaren F1 #28<\/strong> achieved a record-breaking\u00a0price. Indeed, despite being 20 years old, the McLaren F1<\/strong> remains the world’s fastest normally-aspirated car – a title it is unlikely to lose in the near future.<\/p>\n
