What a difference a few months makes. Hamilton struggled to get his McLaren off the back of the grid at the start of the season, but yesterday in Hungary we saw the Hamilton – and McLaren – we used to know storm in to the lead of the Hungarian Grand Prix and hang on to […]
Top Gear Veyron vs McLaren – the Video
Last week’s Top Gear featured a drag race between the McLaren F1 and the Bugatti Veyron on a closed road in Abu Dhabi. Both the Supercars of their time. But what was the result? Well, in all probability you already know, but just in case you don’t – or you want another chance to see […]
McLaren F1 for sale – the best one in the world?
As we’ve said before, the McLaren F1 has proved to be not only an incredible car, but a very sound investment. From a selling price of around £600k when they were launched in 1995, you can expect to pay somewhere north of £2 million for one now, and a fair bit more for an exceptional […]
McLaren F1 Fire – the update
Last week we reported, with a tear in our eye, the sad demise of a McLaren F1 in a fire in Santa Rosa, California. The car was driven by its owner – Irv Kessler – for the first time in six months when passing motorists started to notice smoke coming from the F1. By the […]

McLaren F1 get three race ban – suspended
McLaren don’t have an easy time of it – but a big chunk of it has been of their own making. They have been pretty well punished for the furore over the Ferrari information they purloined last year, and their relationship with the sport’s governing body has never been great. So there was an expectation […]
McLaren Automotive Company created as an independent
At a press conference today it has been announced that McLaren Automotive is to become independent, aiming to produce 4000 cars a year by 2015 – P8, P11 & F1.
New McLaren F1 on the way
In addition to the McLaren P11, and the 911 rivalling baby McLaren, it has been revealed McLaren are planning a replacement for the legendary McLaren F1.
New McLaren to take on the Audi R8
When Ron Dennis left McLaren F1 recently, he said he wasn’t putting his feet up, but had so many other things to do within McLaren that he’d be busier than ever. We’ve brought various bits of information about the McLaren P11 – the F430 / LP560 size car – recently, a project that will certainly […]
