In the exciting realm of high-performance supercars and hypercars, McLaren carved a niche for itself as a trailblazer, beginning its journey in competitive racing divisions such as the Can-Am series and Formula One. This passion for speed later led to alliances with giants like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, paving the way for McLaren to evolve into a full-fledged manufacturer. While several McLaren models have the reputation of being among the priciest cars ever, the brand consistently upholds its legacy with its contemporary and futuristic models. As a nod to the brand’s loyal followers, McLaren reserves its limited production models and exclusive one-off hypercars for its distinguished clientele, offering exquisite pieces of engineering that often change hands among affluent collectors.
What are McLaren’s most expensive production models?
Though it no longer wears the crown of the costliest McLaren, the iconic McLaren F1 still warrants a special mention. The F1, with its groundbreaking price tag of $1 million back in 1992, was among the first mass-produced supercars to breach the seven-figure threshold. Now, the spotlight is on the Sabre, the highest-priced factory hypercar from McLaren, with a price tag starting at $3.5 million and an exclusive production run of just 16 units. Pioneering the brand’s exploration into EV technology for enhanced performance, the McLaren Speedtail stunned the automobile world in 2020 with its unique, elongated design and a central seat configuration reminiscent of the F1. Limited to 106 hand-assembled units at the brand’s Woking factory in England, the Speedtail commanded an impressive $2.25 million. The brand’s commitment to hypercar development using hybrid-assisted technology is also manifested in the McLaren P1, a significant player in the ‘Holy Trinity’ of hypercars, whose popularity has seen its current value soar to double its initial base price of $1.15 million.
What are the most expensive McLarens ever sold?
McLaren’s success story significantly orbits around the F1. The illustrious supercar from the ’90s accounts for half of the top ten most expensive McLarens ever sold. The most notable among them is the 1995 F1, chassis No. 29, a Creighton Brown spec that fetched a record $20,465,000 at a Pebble Beach auction. Other high-profile McLarens include the McLaren-Mercedes MP4-25 Formula One race car, driven by F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, which was acquired by a private collector for a cool $6.5 million. The 1974 McLaren M16C Indianapolis, a testament to Bruce McLaren’s racing passion and the victorious car of the 1974 Indy 500, was auctioned off for $3.5 million at Monterey Car Week in2013.
With its most memorable and expensive models, McLaren has distinguished itself from other automotive brands, reaching far beyond its early days as a full-production supercar manufacturer. This journey encapsulates the spirit of speed, passion for racing, and commitment to cutting-edge technology, making McLaren a timeless icon in the world of supercars and hypercars.
