McLaren F1 LM Specification - Top Speed
The ‘LM-Specifications’ are a bit different. Both chassis numbers 018 and 073 started life as a road-specification F1s and were later fitted with the more-powerful V-12 and high downforce aero package from the LM at the McLaren factory, but unlike the purebred LMs they retain the road car’s... Originally built in 1998, its owner specified AMG Green Velvet paint with a two-tone tan and green interior, but instead of taking delivery of the car, the owner asked that it be kept at McLaren’s factory in Woking to be fitted with new LM... Less is known about the origins of 018, but this metallic-silver example was originally built in 1994 and is fitted with the same five-spoke wheels as the LM. It currently lives in Auckland, New Zealand. Updated 08/14/2015: This very rare McLaren F1 LM was sold at an auction in Monterey for a staggering $13. 75 million, representing a new record for the car. Think of this car as a more luxurious take on the F1 LM, but from the outside, they’re almost identical. Each of the five LMs came exclusively in papaya orange, but in the case of LM-Specifications, it was the customer’s choice. Interior While the exterior and drivetrain where designed for the Mulsanne Straight, the LM-Specification’s three-seat interior with central driving position was designed more for Rodeo Drive.
