Pic Of The Week: McLaren F1

No need to pay £2.3m, PH gives you the McLaren for free

---

Yesterday we told you about the McLaren F1 that sold for £2.3million at RM Auctions 'Automobiles of London' sale. Amidst tales of economic gloom, the fact that people are still spending heavily on great cars certainly made us smile.

Ever since we heard the news, we just can't stop thinking about this magnificent car, in fact we have been debating if any other car has reached such dizzy heights of desirability. To be honest, we don't think so.

It's only right that F1 number 65 is this weeks PotW. Click on the image, save it to your desktop and stare at it all afternoon, it is Friday after all.

It must be perspective but that front wheel looks a whole lot larger than the rear.

I wanted to call it an ugly car but no... it's just right.

F1 cars would run lower profile tyres if the rules allowed, it's far easier to control a spring and damper than air filled rubber.

20" wheels might not offer the best performance but they generally offer the best looks which is why they're fitted. Ultimately, looks sell.
