1994 McLaren F1 LM-Spec Fetches $19.8 Million at Auction

ension was thick in the air as the 1994 McLaren F1 rolled onto the auction block in Monterey on Friday. Bidders and spectators alike wondered if the car would fetch the $21 million to $23 million that auction house RM Sotheby's estimated for the rare three-seater supercar. In the end, the hammer fell at $19.8 million including commission, which is still enough to set a new world record for most valuable McLaren F1 sold at auction.The McLaren F1 in question is one of just 64 road-going versions of the model made (the remainder of the 106 produced were prototypes or race cars) and also one of just two to be converted to Le Mans (LM) spec by McLaren Special Operations. The car retained its fully trimmed interior despite the performance increases and is also fitted with the Extra High Downforce kit, uprated air conditioning, race-spec suspension, 18-inch GTR wheels, two extra radiators, and a transmission cooler, among other upgrades. RM Sotheby's sold the other LM-uprated McLaren F1 in a private sale at an undisclosed price earlier this year.

The product team's mission was to develop a competitive midsize pickup with the look and capability of a Wrangler. It took longer to bring a crew cab to fruition, but the end result was deserving of the Gladiator name, said Tim Kuniskis, head of the Jeep brand in North America. The Scrambler is not coming back.
