Crank up the volume and checkout this sick video of Chris Harris being driven in the the most amazing car I’d love to have as my daily driver, the McLaren F1 GTR Video. This custom race car air restricted to 600hp (racing regulations) and weighing 1100kgs (~2400lbs) delivers one of the sexiest sounds and unlimited amounts of fear when unleashed off the track on regular streets ;)

After the McLaren F1 GTR was launched in 1995 it took the 1st, 3rd, 4rth, 5th, and 13th place in the 24 hours Le Mans race which was a huge achievement. After its huge success in this race the McLaren team went further and produced 9 more vehicles in the same year. More photos of the McLaren F1 here.


Remember that Gordon Murray, creator of the McLaren F1, originally saw his creation as the ultimate road car, with no intention to take the car racing. Although the car used many racing technologies and designs, it was felt that the car should be a road car first, without any intent built into the creation of the car to modify it into a racing car….. However finally, Murray relented and agreed to modify the F1 into a racing car, agreeing to build several chassis for competition in the 1995 season.
