The Ultimate car seen in Arnage Le Mans 2010
Discussion
After breakfast in Arnage we saw a McLaren F1 GTR parked on the street outside a bar. Just had to film it. Click here to watch it This is in my opinion the Ultimate car. I read that there is only a handful of these around. 9 made 1995 and 9 1996. Only some of them were converted for street use as this one...
Sorry to sound nerdish on this but have just been checking through my book of the F1 - Driving Ambition, the official story from Ron D & Gordon M. Only 5 F1 LM's were built, one for each of the 5 which finished (and won)Le Mans in '95 as a road going replica of the GTR, and only 3 were in orange. So a rare (and beautiful)beast indeed! I think it knocked spots off the F40 which it was parked alongside, and certainly drew a lot more admiring stares.
yeh, think the other 2 lms were painted black with a purple stripe, and i believe they are owned by the sultan of brunei whos apparently got nine f1s now, there is still an lm prototype retained by mclaren, I think this car (m700) was a gtr converted back to road spec and then painted papaya orange, it could have come from america a few years back costing about 350000 for the conversion.
