In the exciting field of high-performance supercars and hypercars, McLaren has carved a niche for itself as a pioneer, beginning its journey in highly competitive racing areas such as the Can-Am series and Formula 1. This passion for speed later led to alliances with giants such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, paving the way for McLaren to develop into a fully-fledged manufacturer. While several McLaren models have a reputation for being among the most expensive cars of all time, the brand consistently upholds its legacy with its modern and futuristic models. As a tribute to the brand’s loyal followers, McLaren reserves its limited production models and exclusive one-off hypercars for its select clientele, offering exquisite technical pieces that often change hands with wealthy collectors.
What are McLaren’s most expensive production models?
Although it no longer holds the crown of most expensive McLaren, the legendary McLaren F1 still deserves a special mention. The F1, with its groundbreaking $1 million price tag in 1992, was among the first mass-produced supercars to break seven figures. Now the spotlight is on the Sabre, McLaren’s most expensive factory hypercar with a price starting at $3.5 million and an exclusive production run of just 16 examples. The McLaren Speedtail pioneered the exploration of EV technology to increase performance and stunned the automotive world in 2020 with its unique, elongated design and a central seating configuration reminiscent of Formula 1. The Speedtail was limited to 106 hand-assembled examples at the brand’s Woking factory in England and fetched a whopping $2.25 million. The brand’s commitment to developing hypercars with hybrid-assisted technology is also evident in the McLaren P1, a major player in the “holy trinity” of hypercars, whose popularity has pushed its current value to double its original base price of $1.15 million.
What are the most expensive McLarens ever sold?
McLaren’s success story largely revolves around Formula 1. The famous super sports car from the 90s accounts for half of the ten most expensive McLarens ever sold. The most notable among them is the 1995 F1, chassis no. 29, a Creighton Brown version that sold for a record $20,465,000 at a Pebble Beach auction. Other high-profile McLaren vehicles include the McLaren-Mercedes MP4-25 Formula 1 racing car, driven by Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, which was purchased by a private collector for a whopping $6.5 million. The 1974 McLaren M16C Indianapolis, a testament to Bruce McLaren’s passion for racing and the winning car of the 1974 Indy 500, was auctioned at Monterey Car Week in 2013 for $3.5 million.
With its most memorable and expensive models, McLaren has set itself apart from other automotive brands, reaching far beyond its beginnings as a full-scale supercar manufacturer. This journey embodies the spirit of speed, passion for racing and commitment to cutting-edge technology, making McLaren a timeless icon in the world of supercars and hypercars.
