The McLaren F1 LM, introduced in 1995, was a special edition created to commemorate the five McLaren F1 GTRs that had conquered the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995. Only five of these road-legal supercars were ever built, and they bore striking similarities to their racing counterparts. Powered by the same 6.1-liter V12 engine found in the F1 GTR, producing 600+ horsepower, the F1 LM was an absolute powerhouse. It featured distinctive Papaya Orange paintwork and weight-saving modifications, making it one of the fastest road cars of its era.
