Actually I know a guy who has 2 that lives a few miles away.

He was 40% of Tommy Hilfiger at one time (the other 40% was to a chinese guy and 20% was Tommy himself).

Hilfiger eventually bought out this guy's shares and he now owns just about every supercar you can think of (ferraris, mclaren, etc).

The guy regularly drives his cars over 140 mph on the highway.

McLaren ... Oh simply beautiful ... Nothing more else to put it.

 

Is the engine BMW V12?

 

yup, bmw v12, 627 HP.

The engine bay is lined with gold!! Something to do with heat dissapation or something.

THe LM version had 680 HP @ 7800 RPM and 520 lb ft torque @ 4500 RPM from 6.1 liters. Redlines at 8500

Its devilishly fast!

 

Hey, s2kmtl - I remember the story you are telling. Isn't he owns paypal.com? I remember he got rich selling zip.com and started his own company x.com. That ultimatly developed paypal.com which everyone is using today. That is a real dot-com gold rush story and worked.

I was lucky enough to see a McLaren F1 in person. It looks much smaller in person than in photos. Those BMW engine is really a art work. They look big.

 

hey stealthy,

no, this guy got rich off of tommy.. No dot-com stuff.

His name is Lawrence Stroll and he lives in Montreal part-time.

I think he is still running (has exclusive rights) to tommy canada.

Rumour has it that he also bought the only ferrari dealership in montreal to control who had ferraris and who didn't

I see. There are not many people owns McLaren F1. They are cool cars. Who says monopoly is not good? hehe.

 

There are several F1's that race in "Vintage" events throughout the country. I have pics of a couple and would post if I got around to paying for photopoint.

And yes, the car in the picture had more power than the "normal" F1.
