Yahoo Autos Driving the McLaren F1 for the First Time
The McLaren F1 sits on the top of many enthusiasts bucket lists for a good reason. The V12 masterpiece is looked at by many as the best example of a true driver's car, with its naturally aspirated 600-horsepower engine, manual transmission, and wild central seating position.
Mr JWW, a popular British car YouTuber, got the chance to hop behind the wheel of the twice-crashed and since repaired McLaren F1 formerly owned by actor Rowan Atkinson. The car sold for around $12.2 million back in 2015, and is now seemingly owned by the man present in the left-side passenger seat in the below video.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, a McLaren F1 takes a little more focus to drive than your average supercar. It's not that the car is hard to drive, but rather the psychological effects of piloting a $12 million piece of rolling metal that really weighs in, as Mr JWW demonstrates.
Still, we think it's worth the worry. Watch for yourself as the lucky YouTuber checks off a bucket list car few people ever will.
