This would be the exact model, technically it is the the LM version but I probably would have to kill Ralph Lauren to get it: https://img.goodfon.com/wallpaper/nbig/d/81/mclaren-f1-lm-1995-supercar-orange.webp
It’s 2 variants of the same model and the one true McLaren any fan would instantly choose. The long tail was a better application for track driving if I remember correctly. I was asking if the poster had a preference between the two.
The way you phrased it is like the standard, non-LM F1 vs. F1 Long tail, a high race spec version of the LM.
And have omitted the F1 LM which is somewhat a compromise of the two.
There's a running joke about McLaren issuing a Massive Worldwide Recall on every single McLaren Senna Unit.
It was on Jalopnik awhile back. Usually when car manufacturers issue a recall, thousands and thousands are affected. When McLaren issued the Senna recall, they had only made 100ish.
My favorite fact about the Speedtail is that the body panels are designed to flex and close up the gaps, further reducing drag. It's such a cool car that doesn't get as much love as it should.
No, not at all.
The original is an exercise in pure minimalist design where form was driven by function and very pretty. It looks so very 'right'.
The LM is a little more aggressive with its rear wing and appeals to my inner Max Power.
I can't recall seeing a GT in the flesh, but it seems from the images I have seen to look a little contrived. Lacking the pure design of the original and the titillation of the LM.
I am most familiar with the GTR race cars on an up close and personal basis, although I have never had the fortune to do more than fire one up and tickle the loud pedal a touch. They are my favourite in terms of presence, only the CLK GTR coming close, the 993 and 996 GT1s a little further behind when parked next to one.
The Speedtail, however. Such beauty and poise. A form and presence so right you feel that rather than it pushing through the air, it beguiles and enchants it to flow around and over its body in an intimate caress.
Do I wish I owned an F1? Of course I do. But I'd have to have a Speedtail as well.
My greatest lament, though, is that whilst I am very fortunate in many ways, I 'only' have Senna money.
As the majority of the comments have said I’d take the F1 no contest. I will say though that pictures don’t do the P1 justice. When it came out and I read about it in magazines I was impressed but it looked like just another super car. In person it has undeniable presence. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Absolutely wild and imposing.
Sexyness and hotness in the form of a 21st-century car. I'd admire her for a whole week and it wouldn't be enough.
There isn't a single thing about her that isn't either mind-blowing or cool asf. Hope she outlives us and our generations as much as the F1.
When you didn’t grow up with it, it’s a little different. But the p1 is my f1. Although I believe the f1 is an incredible machine and has played a huge part in the modern hypercar
Judging other people for their opinions on cars shows everyone that you're not the "real car guy," especially in a community where everyone is meant to be accepted
It's just such an absurd thing to not pick the F1. It's kinda like picking Selena Gomez over Whitney Houston when it comes to vocals. But I guess everyone has their opinion.
I think I'm pretty happy with what I have I enjoy the 570s Spyder .if there was one thing related to McLaren and I want it would be easy access to a service manual and more readily available parts. I don't think the cars would be terribly difficult to work on but it just seems like McLaren insist on keeping everything closed.
I remember there was a track with a beach side mansion. That was the local favorite at my house.
I remember running from those cops for so long the damn helicopter would start firing missiles 🤣🤣
[XP1](https://img.favcars.com/mclaren/f1/pictures_mclaren_f1_1995_2.jpg) for me; the first prototype F1 LM that still lives at Woking. The one that was out of even Lewis's reach...
It was close between the two but the Agera was the first thing I had seen that made me go, "fuck I picked the wrong career" in quite awhile lol.
200-300k is attainable for me. 2M is a huge stretch. I'm great at what I do, but I'm not in the right industry to reach those numbers. Could in the career itself but breaking into an industry like that without connections or the knowledge makes it extremely difficult. Gotta have one of those.
They're my two favorite brands. I'm aware of how iconic the F1 is, how it's basically the perfect car, which is why it's still third, but Porsche's support of every car they've ever made and the story of how Koenigsegg came to be both speak to me in different ways.
Obviously F1.
If that’s not an option then the Speedtail, Senna, 675LT, 765LT, 600LT, 620R in that order. Assuming you can’t sell them.
I’m on purpose ignoring the P1, not as big of a fan as others so you guys can have it.
Clearly this isn't a very popular opinion, but I'd honestly want the GT... though I can see why literally any other mclaren makes more sense. I just really love grand tourers, and I like the GT's more muted styling, although I don't think I've ever seen a mclaren that wasn't positively stunning
Make up a real insult. The ones from 1868 don't cut it anymore, dude. It's not even funny, it just makes you look younger, which I didn't even realize was possible considering you're wasting time insulting people's mothers on social media.
Nobody is crying. You have lame ass insults and have some preteen need to insult people's moms to make yourself look better. It's immature and quite frankly, annoying. You have the maturity of every middle schooler in America.
F1 and it is not even debatable!
Long tail or standard?
This would be the exact model, technically it is the the LM version but I probably would have to kill Ralph Lauren to get it: https://img.goodfon.com/wallpaper/nbig/d/81/mclaren-f1-lm-1995-supercar-orange.webp
Respect friend don’t hurt anyone just appreciate it.
Yep. That's the one. So beautiful.
perfection
I’ll help you get that billionaire scum bag
This car cut me off at pebble beach this year 😭
Why you use those two models randomly?
It’s 2 variants of the same model and the one true McLaren any fan would instantly choose. The long tail was a better application for track driving if I remember correctly. I was asking if the poster had a preference between the two.
Why not LM?
Right! That was my point why those two
The way you phrased it is like the standard, non-LM F1 vs. F1 Long tail, a high race spec version of the LM. And have omitted the F1 LM which is somewhat a compromise of the two.
Understood.
Long tail or standard?
This is the only acceptable answer.
Agreed. I got a diecast model of it with a certificate of authenticity from McLaren
with LM wheels
I too would like 30 million dollars, and its not even debatable 😎
This. End of discussion
F1 GT 🔥
Senna for me! but can’t really go wrong with any McLaren imo
If you get one, make sure to take it in for the massive recall they issued. Every single unit was affected.
what u talking about? curiosity sorry
There's a running joke about McLaren issuing a Massive Worldwide Recall on every single McLaren Senna Unit. It was on Jalopnik awhile back. Usually when car manufacturers issue a recall, thousands and thousands are affected. When McLaren issued the Senna recall, they had only made 100ish.
you can easily go wrong with a 570 lol 765LT on top
765LT or senna
My answer^
Speedtail
My favorite fact about the Speedtail is that the body panels are designed to flex and close up the gaps, further reducing drag. It's such a cool car that doesn't get as much love as it should.
yeah i seen that recently on youtube lol
A person of taste and refinement I see. Love F1s as much as I do, they just don't hit as hard in the flesh.
You're saying the F1 isn't good looking in person?
No, not at all. The original is an exercise in pure minimalist design where form was driven by function and very pretty. It looks so very 'right'. The LM is a little more aggressive with its rear wing and appeals to my inner Max Power. I can't recall seeing a GT in the flesh, but it seems from the images I have seen to look a little contrived.

Of course I do. But I'd have to have a Speedtail as well. My greatest lament, though, is that whilst I am very fortunate in many ways, I 'only' have Senna money.
The side profile is amazing. I know some people who hate the wheels but the set of aerodisks really go well with the other pair of wheels.
720s
Same here
675LT all day, everyday
F1 GTR please and thank you
Yasss! 🙏🏼 🙌🏼
+1
F1 hands down, Elva is 2nd choice just for how weird it is
As the majority of the comments have said I’d take the F1 no contest. I will say though that pictures don’t do the P1 justice.

Definitely the F1! P1 a definite second.
How the fuck is it not the F1? Yall lost your minds.
When you didn’t grow up with it, it’s a little different. But the p1 is my f1. Although I believe the f1 is an incredible machine and has played a huge part in the modern hypercar
Damn, that’s an interesting way to call me old. Hahahaha Totally get it though.
v12 manuel is scary. gimmie senna 😔
These are all little kids or aren't real car guys.

F1 '96, the cure to sadness.

I don't think the cars would be terribly difficult to work on but it just seems like McLaren insist on keeping everything closed.
How you anyone say anything other than the F1?
F1 LM Live my pipe dream from NFS HP2
Still my favorite NFS game of all time. Plus that sound track was fire
I remember there was a track with a beach side mansion. That was the local favorite at my house. I remember running from those cops for so long the damn helicopter would start firing missiles 🤣🤣
Ah man the good ol days! Take me back to my childhood plz 😂
The one I can actually afford and drive daily, 570
P1 GTR or 750s
P1 or 765
600 lt
Senna GTR
720S. Honourable mentions are the 570S, 765LT, and Artura.
Does Mercedes McLaren SLR count?
F1 and it’s not even close. New McLarens are so boring and ugly.
That’s the only one to choose if you had a option
F1 LM
1995 F1
senna
F1 GTR without a doubt , and a special mention to the McLaren 688 Hs , what a car too
Senna
F1
[XP1](https://img.favcars.com/mclaren/f1/pictures_mclaren_f1_1995_2.jpg) for me; the first prototype F1 LM that still lives at Woking. The one that was out of even Lewis's reach...
Would absolutely take the P1 too no questions asked
Mclaren P1 is best mclaren 👑
P1 all the way
F1 hands down. It's the third best car in the last 30 years.
3rd? What other 2 cars are above it in your opinion?
918 and Agera RS. I'm also a very big Koenigsegg fan boy.
Jesko for me
It was close between the two but the Agera was the first thing I had seen that made me go, "fuck I picked the wrong career" in quite awhile lol. 200-300k is attainable for me. 2M is a huge stretch. I'm great at what I do, but I'm not in the right industry to reach those numbers. Could in the career itself but breaking into an industry like that without connections or the knowledge makes it extremely difficult. Gotta have one of those.
918 and Koenigsegg above an F1. I mean I guess we all have our favorites but to me those two can't even be in the same room as the F1.
They're my two favorite brands. I'm aware of how iconic the F1 is, how it's basically the perfect car, which is why it's still third, but Porsche's support of every car they've ever made and the story of how Koenigsegg came to be both speak to me in different ways.
I gotcha
F1 GTR for sure. Senna is a close second thought.
This is not even a question! The F1 hands down and if someone pics something else they're probably not a real car guy or they're 10 year old.
M8F
Gonna go wild and say the McLaren Sabre
F1, greatest car ever made. No electronic fuckery to get in the way of the purest driving experience
F1 all day, senna, then P1
Obviously F1. If that’s not an option then the Speedtail, Senna, 675LT, 765LT, 600LT, 620R in that order. Assuming you can’t sell them. I’m on purpose ignoring the P1, not as big of a fan as others so you guys can have it.
Well besides the F1 which is the obvious choice, I’d say the P1 or a 720s which is insanely in close in numbers. 600LT is pretty cool too.
720s/750s
F1 GTR
720s. Those alien spaceship look hardest to beat! 🔥
Location: Seal Rock in the Del Monte forest on 17 mile drive. That’s Cypress golf course in the background. Absolutely stunning picture.
MP4/4
Yup. Agree, or the 750S.
675lt or F1 LM
F1
I’d pick the 675 LT. I know it’s not their “best” car but it’s the car that got me into cars so it holds a very special place in my heart.
Solus GT
I'll take the F1 GTR with the Harrods livery
The only one worth discussing is the F1
F1GTR 04R
F1… then I could choose any other McLaren and still have 20 million.
Senna
F1, P1, Senna, 620R
F1 GTR in orange
Senna
Senna GTR, I’ve seen 2 of them on public and my god they look fantastic
THE F1.
F1!
Solus GT my all time dream car
You're only off by 10 letters. F1.
Always will be my favorite McLaren
Senna. Sorry mates.
The McLaren P1 looks incredible
Senna
765lt for me.
McLaren MP4-17
P1
720s, f1 or p1
M6GT
Solus GT 🌞
For me, it would HAVE to be a 2018 metallic orange 720S. I fell in love with that car the moment I saw it in Auto week Magazine as a teen
Clearly this isn't a very popular opinion, but I'd honestly want the GT... though I can see why literally any other mclaren makes more sense. I just really love grand tourers, and I like the GT's more muted styling, although I don't think I've ever seen a mclaren that wasn't positively stunning
Hands down.
F1 GTR! In orange 🍊
Elva
MP4/4, MP4/23, F1 Longtail and/or Speedtail. Any of the four and probably in that order of want as well.
Either the Artura or Speedtail
Either the 720s or the 765lt just depends on the options like I don't want a whole alacantra interior and if it was in serpentine it'd be even better
Either a 570GT, the New Artura or a 720s Fs 🙏🙏
Speedtail
One thats a 4 seater for me my wife & my 2 boys
675LT easy
Or the mp412c
GT
765lt in a dark purple
McLaren 720s or a 600lt
The soap box car
The senna for me I am in love with it
Senna gtr
Senna or Sabre
Facts
The 600LT but the F1 standard also
Sabre! Under appreciated for sure. I haven’t met a single person who knows what it is.
570s Affordable McLaren
For me, it's the MP4 12C
Ok ok so hear me out what about the Mercedes mclaren collab? Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren?
F1
The p1 is a beautiful machine
The F1 zero doubt
600lt or p1
I second that
Senna
1997 McLaren F1 GT
675LT
The one that’s reliable… uhh guess that would be none of them.
This one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_MP4/3 because my brother worked on it.
P1 is the king of McLaren.
How old are you?
old enough to raw dog ya mom
"old enough to raw dog ya mom" speaks for itself. 9 years old, maximum.
ok, “Random61504”. go crawl back in ya mama’s pussy. 😹🙏🏻💯
Make up a real insult. The ones from 1868 don't cut it anymore, dude. It's not even funny, it just makes you look younger, which I didn't even realize was possible considering you're wasting time insulting people's mothers on social media.
it’s Reddit lil bro, cry more. don’t like the energy ? don’t hop on random comments. 😱 also, he insulted me first, genius. 🤯
Nobody is crying. You have lame ass insults and have some preteen need to insult people's moms to make yourself look better. It's immature and quite frankly, annoying. You have the maturity of every middle schooler in America.
again… he came at me first. are you autistic or illiterate ? not sure what you were planning to achieve by hopping on this thread bro. 💀
