Rarest of the Rare: McLaren F1 High Downforce

This rare McLaren F1 High Downforce is no museum piece.

The McLaren F1 is a legend among supercars — the first million dollar supercar that was purpose built according to one man’s uncompromising vision. When in the presence of an F1, you’re with true automotive royalty. When the McLaren F1 that you’re with is the one of only two McLaren F1 High Downforce, you’re in the presence of the rarest of the rare, which makes this particular McLaren F1 High Downforce very special.

Sporting larger wheels, upgraded suspension, and an LM-specification full-race engine, rebuilt to LM spec from the original engine that revs 1,000 rpm higher than the standard V12, this automotive masterpiece develops 680bhp, a number that would shame many modern supercars.

The remarkable thing is that its current owner, Andrew Bagnall, who is also an amateur racing driver from Auckland, New Zealand, takes it out for a drive at least once a month.
