Finished in Dark Silver over Light Grey with Black interior , this example was the only F1 delivered new to Australia and has covered just 16,900 km (10,522 miles) since new.
The McLaren F1 remains widely regarded as the greatest supercar ever created. Conceived by Gordon Murray and engineered by a Formula 1–calibre team, it was designed without compromise , the first road car to integrate F1 construction principles, a central driving position, and an all-carbon monocoque. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.1-litre BMW V12 producing 627 hp (468 kW) , it achieves 0–100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed exceeding 386 km/h , a record that stood for more than a decade.
Launched in 1992, the McLaren F1 redefined the concept of the supercar. Designed by Gordon Murray and built in Woking, only 64 road cars were produced between 1992 and 1998. It was the world’s first all-carbon-fibre production car and remained the fastest naturally aspirated road car for over 20 years.
A total of 106 McLaren F1s were built, including 64 road versions, 28 racing GTRs, and several prototypes. Chassis 009 is the eighth road car produced , and uniquely, the only one delivered new to Australia , making it a singular piece of McLaren history.
At its heart lies a 6.1-litre BMW S70/2 V12 engine , delivering 627 hp (468 kW) and 650 Nm of torque through a 6-speed manual gearbox. Weighing just 1,138 kg, the car’s power-to-weight ratio enabled unprecedented performance: 0–100 km/h in 3.2 seconds , 0–200 km/h in 9.4 seconds , and a top speed of 386.4 km/h verified in official testing.
With only 64 road cars built, its provenance, originality, and engineering significance make it one of the most collector cars of all time.
Chassis 009’s originality, low mileage, long-term single ownership, and full complement of factory accessories further elevate its desirability.
