Mclaren SLR you mean, right?

There are at least two SLRs in Calgary. I'm pretty sure he means Mclaren F1.

He said black, oddly.

Honestly, we're getting 3 reports of 3 different colours of the F1. Silver is believable, white just isn't. According to Wikipedia, there are 4 white F1s in the world. 4.

As the rest have said...

- McMerc SLRs
- Carrera GTs
- Enzo
- Vipers
- Ford GTs
- etc.

There are two Mercede's SLR Maclarens at the hamptons golf course in the N.W
My brother is a junior golfer there, and he see's them all the time. There usually parked side by side:eek:

as for a maclaren F1... Very rare if calgary actually owns one. I was under the impression there was none in canada, and only 8 in the U.S

1 of which Jay leno owns! So this would be the rarest vehicle in calgary by far. Probably cost the owner twice what an enzo costs..

There could be one in calgary, but more likely with only one report id say something else got confused as an F1 since it was nighttime.

Wiki says theyres 21 in the states, 64 on the streets around the entire world (wikipedias never wrong). :D

No EF'ing way! I doubt there is even one in town and if there is one "in town" I doubt that it is locally owned and registered.

I would love to be proven wrong because the F1 is my favorite car of all time! Long live Gordon Murray!

I entirely forget the numbers of what it costs for "Regular" maintenence on those things, but its bloody astronomical.
I think for (PLEASE dont quote me on this) but for every 10,000km's you'd have to spend somewhere between 30-40K in maintenence costs. They had a compairison between that and the Zonda and some other car, and they had a cost per KM break-down, and the Mclaren was just astronomically high, like $15 per KM or something. (that was a year ago, so I really dont remember those numbers too well)

I spoke to ZR, and he paid $1.5 million or so for the Enzo, CAD. McLaren F1s typically top $2 million USD.

"In total, McLaren built the following amount of F1s and variants:
65 F1s (plus 5 prototypes)
5 F1 LMs (plus 1 prototype)
2 F1 GTs (plus 1 prototype)
28 F1 GTR race cars
Total production is thus 72 road legal F1s, 28 racing cars, and 7 prototypes."
quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_F1

i highly doubt that there is one in calgary... in fact. if you read through the list of cars (although a lot of the cars dont say location) none of them are near calgary...

EDIT: and from what i can see there is only 2 white cars... so it is VERY highly unlikely that there is one in calgary.

It's foolish to think that in oil rich Calgary, that there isn't an F1 in town (most likely registered in the US). There are so many cool cars in garages here. I've heard from someone pretty reliable that there is one in Calgary, but never driven. Odds are that it is still on the turntable underground (rotating) and hasn't seen the light of day.

There is not one in Calgary. Some people can't tell the difference between an F1 and even a ferrari F360/F430. I saw a black F430 the other day and it could be mistaken for an F1 to someone who doesn't pay to much attention to detail.

The car was produced in 93-98, when Calgary is still just a farm. Good luck trying to find a Mclaren f1 owner who's willing to sell. The car is worth more than the enzo in the market

Im sure there is an F1 in calgary!. I bet however it was recently purchased.

If there was one running around the last few years, people would know, there would be pictures etc etc. I'm sure somebody managed to find one for sale and snatched it up, for however millions he spent, I'm guessing 3 million maybe? + a couple hundred thousand in maintanence costs to keep her up and runing.

Either way I bet one was purchased recently, and is only driven off and on.

This could be real guys, now lets get a picture!.

Dan Kennedy still has his? Check out his videos on YouTube, he's insane. He's got a video of the day he went to pick the car up and just after he bought it he took it out on the tarmac and gave it a beating.

Nope. That car has changed hands twice since Dan.

There was a white Maserati at the Hyatt today that I'm sure people could mistake for Mclaren, we actually did until he was right beside me on the driveway and I saw the badging
