>>447466 Road-going McLaren F1 car.
>>447474 McLaren GTR from '95 or '96 ('97 models were very different, FIA homologation stuffs), the modified version of the F1 roadcar that ran as customer cars (no official factory support) in various GT series. Won Le Mans outright in '95 (which wasn't exactly a vintage year but, still).
>>447471 Had to look this up, but apparently it's a special edition (road car) McLaren made after the '95 Le Mans win.
The McLaren F1 wasn't originally intended as a racing car, but Gordon Murray built it, so it was built like a racing car. It's a misconception about racing cars that they handle 'well'. They go fast, but they don't often handle in a way that can be described as being enjoyable to drive. The McLaren F1 was awkward, twitchy, understeery and, yes, not a very pleasant place to spend too much time.
Anyways... Here's a -real- McLaren 'F1', and one of Gordon's better efforts.
