About the McLaren F1
The F1 was conceived by Gordon Murray as the ultimate road car and introduced by McLaren in the 1990s. Its three-abreast seating places the driver centrally ahead of a BMW V12, paired with a manual gearbox and carbon-fibre monocoque. Lightness, steering feel and exceptional top-end performance define its reputation. McLaren built 64 standard road-going F1s; the 106-car total also includes prototypes and racing derivatives.

McLaren F1 rarity in CarSpot
The McLaren F1 is a Unicorn card in CarSpot, with a rarity score of 100 out of 100. The rarest tier: hypercars, one-offs and cars built in tiny numbers, typically fewer than about 500. A Unicorn card is worth 320 XP.
Each model's tier starts from a 0–100 score based on its value plus its power or production numbers. Once enough players have spotted a model, how often it is spotted can move it up or down one tier. How CarSpot rarity works
Rarity is a collectible game mechanic, not an assessment of real-world scarcity or value.
