You know an incentive could push Lewis Hamilton to keep up his winning stride. So, you should think of the McLaren F1 LM, if you could think of an incentive worth $4 million being promised by Ron Dennis, McLaren CEO for winning two Formula One World Championship titles. UK-based Amalgam Fine Collection sells the most detailed model collectible cars that I have ever seen. Looking through the photos on their website of this 1/8th scale McLaren F1 LM, it is very difficult to tell it is actually a model at times.
If McLaren is not your thing then the other high performance sports cars appear to be available from the Ferrari Enzo, to the Bugatti Veyron, to Aston Martins. But what’s the price? Well the McLaren model pictured above sells for £3,250, or just over $5,300, making it seem like a real bargain when compared to the real thing.
The McLaren F1 LM is as the ultimate derivative of the ultimate road going supercar. The new LM version of the F1 is actually a modified McLaren F1 GTR for road going use. From the standard F1, major differences are:
The F1 LM includes the features:
• The 1995 GTR engine without air restrictors
• Its 18 inch magnesium wheels 76kgs lighter than the standard F1.
• Upgraded gearbox and aerodynamics
Like a tribute to Bruce McLaren, all 5 LMs were painted Papaya Orange, the same color used on his Formula One and Can Am racecars.
The F1 Lm with a run off 11.5 seconds recently broke the 0-100-0 mph time, streching 828 feet.
So, I hope you would like the new model of the F1 with a new color.
