Designed by Gordon Murray the incredibly rare McLaren F1 LM is the fastest naturally aspirated production car in the world. Only 106 were built in total and just 5 of the McLaren F1 LM (LM for Le Mans) variant were produced in honour of the five McLaren F1 GTRs which finished the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of which took the overall win!
The LM is the fastest accelerating incarnation of the F1 car, and was once the holder of the 0 to 100 MPH record which it completed in 11.5 seconds. All F1 LM's can be identified by their striking Papaya Orange paint scheme, the late Bruce McLaren's race livery, in memory of and in tribute to him.
The model is accompanied by the book "Driving Ambition" written by Doug Nye in conjunction with Ron Dennis and Gordon Murray, telling the whole story from conception to realisation of this iconic car. The book, along with the certificate of authenticity that accompanies each model, will be signed by Gordon Murray .
The engine cover can be opened showing off the incredibly intricate detailing on this stunning 1:8 scale model.
