Polish Man Builds McLaren F1

Ultimate supercar project emerges from builder's shed

The McLaren F1 ranks pretty highly on most petrolhead lists of dream machines, but few would go to the lengths of re-creating the legendary 'Macca' at home.

In keeping with the original design, this recession-spec F1 from Poland uses a V12 engine purloined from a dead BMW. The Polish F1’s carbon fibre tub appears to have been redesigned in steel and fibre glass, but as for the rest… your guess is as good as ours!

However, we especially like the small model car upon which this brave backyard builder appears to have based the whole project. See a full gallery of project car pictures below.
