Amalgam Collection, McLaren F1 LM, 1:18 Model Car.
A lower, stiffer, track-oriented version of the revolutionary F1 road car, the F1 LM was built to celebrate McLaren’s astonishing debut victory at Le Mans.As a tribute to this immediate success, McLaren decided to build just five cars for sale, signifying the five racers that reached the end, and keeping the prototype. The cars were originally planned to be painted bright Papaya orange schemes as a homage to founder Bruce McLaren but only four were as the other two were customised for the Sultan of Brunei. It was reported that the prototype was promised by McLaren CEO Ron Dennis to his driver Lewis Hamilton should win two FIA Formula One World Championship® titles at McLaren. This car is still in possession of McLaren.
The F1 LM variants were 60kg lighter and more track-focused than the standard F1 and more powerful than the F1 GTR track cars, which were restricted at Le Mans as part of the regulations. It could reach 60mph (97km/h) in 3.9 seconds (which would have been quicker but for wheelspin) and 100mph (161km/h) in 6.7 seconds, going on to a top speed of 225mph (362km/h). It was once the holder of many world records, including the 0-100-0mph record that it completed in a mesmerising 11.5 seconds. As McLaren itself stated, the F1 LM was “an untamed Le Mans race car with number plates”.
Note: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.
