Businessman has the most expensive car in S’pore

A BUSINESSMAN in Singapore bought a McLaren F1 sports car for £1.4mil (RM9mil), setting the record for the most expensive car in the island, reported Sin Chew Daily.

He bought the vehicle through an agent in Changi.
According to the agent, the vehicle, a limited edition model, was imported from Europe and would be registered overseas.
The agent said if registration was done in the republic, the price of the vehicle would be about S$9.82mil (RM22.46mil) due to various taxes.
Before this, the most expensive car in Singapore was a Jaguar XJ220 worth S$3.2mil (RM7.36mil), bought in 1992.
Last March, another Singaporean businessman paid S$3mil (RM6.9mil) for a Pagani Zonda F.




Besto Regardo,
The McLaren F1 supercar is one of the fastest, most powerful and most expensive road cars ever. It was developed by McLaren Cars Ltd, a subsidiary of one of the world’s leading Formula One Teams. The car features a 6.1-litre 60° V12 BMW V12 engine and it was conceived as an exercise in creating what its designers hoped would be considered the ultimate road car.
The McLaren F1 was the fastest “production” car ever built (having achieved a top speed of 240.14 mph) until 2005 when the Koenigsegg CCR recorded a speed of 388 km/h (241 mph), a record which has in turn been broken by the Bugatti Veyron, with a top speed of 407 km/h (253 mph).
McLaren F1 Vs the reigning of the fastest street car ever in existence- Bugatti Veyron
Only 100 cars were manufactured from 1994 to 1998, 64 of those were street versions, 5 were LMs and the rest were GTR models. After the initial production run 100 cars, McLaren have continued to maintain and add custom appointments to customer cars. Treatments such as new aerodynamic packages and custom interiors have been ordered by customers and McLaren has been happy to comply for right price.
