What is this? It looks quite disgusting - but appears to have a UK number plate - therefore is it road-legal?

Thanks

I know what the Mclaren F1 is! I was just making reference to this particular model - I've not seen one like that before. It isn't even an LM is it?

The Artist · 02-12-2006, 08:33 AM

i guess its the GTR ..

Giannis · 02-12-2006, 08:49 AM

GTR?? i have never heard of it...

vabboud · 02-12-2006, 09:26 AM

sorry then raj
well fomr that respect i compared it to pics of GTR, GT, LM and standard F1, and it bears no defnite ressemblance to anyone of them
GTR is the contender, since it has the rear wing

Thanks TA - I assume this is a racing GTR that has been converted to road use?

The Artist · 02-12-2006, 10:23 AM

dont know if its road legall.. but i heard they sold on or 2 of the to some dudes

audi_rudy · 02-12-2006, 10:43 AM

.

McL sold 28 street legal versions of the LeMans racer... but the street GTRs had a flat intake on the roof. Furthermore, the GTR doesn't have a body-built-in rear diffuser under the spoiler. The GT does.

Also, the GT had an intake like that... it also had the same aero kit as the GTR, only no wing.

Therefore I think this is a GT with an added spoiler.

So roughly speaking how many road-going Mclarens are there?

69 standard (1 was destroyed - the Irish drug dealers)
5 LM versions + 1 prototype
3 GT versions

Some of the racers were converted to road use too as you mention above.

Btw Siko are you Ascariss?
