The King of Brunei's McLaren F1 supercar is in disrepair

Thanh Vũ |

The Sultan of Brunei's McLaren F1 supercar is in serious disrepair with mold growing all over the interior.

This is an unfortunate situation for the car that is known as the "king" of supercars, with only 106 cars produced worldwide.

Known for its outstanding speed and unique design, the McLaren F1 once held the title of "the fastest car in the world" and especially possessed a 3-seat structure for a two-door model. The value of McLaren F1s has skyrocketed, possibly up to more than 20 million USD (about 502 billion VND) if sold on the market today.

As one of the world's largest car collectors, the Sultan of Brunei owns a huge collection of more than 7,000 cars, of which more than half are supercars, along with many unique models.

Among them, he is said to own nearly 10 McLaren F1s, including a special yellow one. However, one of these cars was neglected and not properly cared for, resulting in the Alcantara interior becoming moldy due to long-term disuse.

Gordon Murray, the father of the McLaren F1, always insisted that the car had to use a naturally aspirated engine to ensure reliability and control. He initially approached Honda for the engine, but after being rejected, Murray turned to BMW, and the 6.1L V12 engine, the BMW S70/2, was equipped in the McLaren F1. With 618 horsepower, this engine was 14% more powerful than the original and contributed to the resounding success of this supercar.

Although the McLaren F1 is a work of art in the automotive industry, improper maintenance can cause these valuable cars to lose their precious value.
