Spotted For Sale: McLaren F1 GTR Longtail

Think the McLaren MP4-12C isn't fast, passionate, or iconic enough? 

Fancy something with a bit more 'kick in the backside' and top end speed?

Well, look no further. There is now a McLaren F1 GTR Longtail, a fire-breathing, very rare, very expensive race car for sale.

Going under the hammer at a Bonhams auction at the Quail lodge in August, the F1 GTR is finished in a historic Gulf and Davidoff Livery that duly reflects the history of the car.

The car has the name 'Longtail' due to the aerodynamic tweaks and improvements over the normal F1 GTR, and is 1 of only 10 cars in existence. 

Expect high prices. The last time this car went on auction, the asking price was said to be around $4,000,000. That is a lot. 

This time around it is expected to fetch more than that this time around, because typically a classic car tends to get more expensive with time.








The Auction will take place on 17th August 2012
