The McLaren F1 is the most expensive car sold at auction, and also, the priciest F1 of all time.
Developing the BMW V12 is a story of its own. Murray himself did not have enough budget to develop his own engine for the F1, so he sought out some of the best engine builders in the world to do it instead. Murray has a list of requirements for the engine and wasn’t willing to compromise on any. He went to, but the brand rejected him and then turned to Paul Rosche at BMW M — who is also a friend of Murray — who took on the challenge.
The requirements were that the engine needed to be a V12, naturally aspirated, has at least 100 horsepower per litre, and has high revs. The team managed to tick all of Murray’s boxes, and the free-breathing V12 they had created has been lauded as a masterpiece and one of the best engines of all time.The F1 is considered by many to be the first hypercar and, with just 106 built between 1992 and 1998, is among the most prized vehicles in the world. This particular example is finished in a Creighton Brown paint job, which is offset by an elegant light brown and tan interior and has just 243 miles on its V12 engine.
