McLaren F1 (1995)

==Description==
The McLaren F1 was a sports car manufactured by McLaren Cars from 1992 to 1998; it was their first production automobile. Designed by ex-Formula One engineer Gordon Murray and Peter Stevens, the F1 was the world's fastest car at the time; it however remains the world's fastest naturally-aspirated automobile. It features a unique three-seat arrangement with the driver sitting in the middle and is powered by a BMW S70/2 6.1L V12. Amongst numerous enthusiasts and publications, the F1 has been christened as "the greatest car of all time"; prices of the F1 at auctions now are usually around the $10 million mark or higher. Only 106 were produced, including 64 road cars, 2 F1 GTs, 5 F1 LMs, 28 F1 GTRs and 7 prototypes (5 road cars, 1 LM, 1 GT).
The McLaren F1 was intended to be released in 1995 as one of twelve new models in the Hot Wheels Model Series of that year. It would have featured operating butterfly doors, the first known Hot Wheels model to have featured such a function. The model was canceled at the last minute for unknown reasons and was replaced by the Ferrari F355 in the final lineup. The casting appears in a poster from 1995, labeled as "MacLaren" and featured the toy number 13345; this toy number ultimately went unused but remains in an internally-published list of Hot Wheels SKUs. Only one resin model used to illustrate the opening doors is known to have been produced, shown in the above photograph; if this model were produced, this would have been the first representation of a McLaren since the M6A from 1969. A representation of the McLaren F1 would ultimately appear in the mainline in 2021, designed by the late Ryu Asada.
All information shown below is based on the above photograph.
