McLaren F1

Made by McLaren Cars1994Burbank, California

A McLaren F1 road car — the Gordon Murray-designed, BMW V12-powered machine that held the production-car speed record for a decade. Only 64 road cars were built. This example has been driven regularly by the collector rather than stored, consistent with his use-it philosophy documented on Jay Leno's Garage.
