When you own a McLaren F1, you enter a small club. Just 106 examples were produced, and all became immediate prized possessions the moment they left the Woking assembly line. If you own and drive a McLaren F1, it's highly unlikely that you'll come across another example while out tooling around...

Next year will see the launch of the McLaren P1, the spiritual successor to a supercar that turned the performance car world on its head when it was launched more than two decades ago, and which to this day can lay claim to a land speed record. That car is, of course, the legendary McLaren F1...

Intended, in a way, to fill the role of the vaunted McLaren F1, the new P1 carries a lot of enthusiast baggage on its shoulders--not to mention the brand's (re-)nascent reputation as a leader in the extreme performance road car field.

To this day BMW has never launched an M8 but the automaker did come close to doing so at one point, though the project was canned at the last minute. Back in 1990 BMW built a one-off prototype version of its then new 8-Series sports coupe and labeled it the M8. The prototype featured a 6.0-liter...

The McLaren F1 is considered by many to be one of the greatest cars of all time and to this day it’s still the fastest naturally aspirated production road car in the world. With only 106 examples ever built, it’s also safe to say that the McLaren F1 is one of the rarest cars of the modern era...
