Default Torque Supercars Showcase 2007 (25th May)

The Ferrari Enzo was suppose to be there, but it was replaced with the Mclaren F1 LM for some reasons, wasted...

The cars will be on display only on friday and on saturday only 4 will be left, which will be the pagani zonda, porsche carrera gt, peugeot rc cup and lotus cadena. The outside ones will be taken away.

Here are some of my pics

The McLaren F1 here is wat version i dunno. 'LM' means? The interior not stripped out hardcore meh? It looks rather luxurious, 'comfort' version... Looking into the door, it has power windows right?

I saw the rear wing support got holes for air in take that is interesting...

Standing beside the car, it was smaller than wat i expected wor, not so big at all...

minor correction... it was the fastest PRODUCTION car with speed close to 400km/h and it was not attained by the LM version. The speed record was attained by the XP5driven by Andy Wallace.

LM stands for LeMans.

5 McLaren F1 LM were built to in celebration of the 5 F1 GTRs that finished the 95 LeMans 24Hr in which, the No. 59 car won the overall title. It was quite an achivement for this car given that it was their debut year in LeMans. These limited edition F1s were also known as XP1 LM and they did not attain the speed world record. As mentioned it was the XP5, which was a later version of the F1 took the title. The date the car took the title was March 31st 1998, not 1995 mentioned earlier.

There isn't much to strip out from a McLaren because it was built as a race car in mind so even the production comes with minimal gadgets though the owners will get leather upholstry and some other parts that wasn't in the racers.

thx guys...

Yup, that isn't really the LM. It has the High Downforce Kit, just like the other LM and Racing versions of McLarens. It also has a LM Spec Engine fitted into it. From what i heard, only two F1s in the world has this modification.
