The McLaren F1 is a supercar designed and manufactured by McLaren Automotive. It was originally a concept conceived by Gordon Murray with backing from Ron Dennis and design work by Peter Stevens for the car's exterior. Production began in 1992 and ended in 1998 with a total of 106 units with some variations in the design. The car was notable for the drivers' seat being placed on the centre with two passenger seats beside, making it a three-seater.
