That incredibly rare McLaren F1 LM that threatened to disrupt the global economy with an astronomical price has sold for an astronomical price. $19.8m, in fact. Admittedly a little off the estimated $23m, but still comfortably ahead of the last most valuable F1 ever sold ($15.62m). Woah. RM Sotheby"s had the honour of auctioning off the car, and we"re told the crowd were "on their feet" as it drove onto the podium before it was sold. Not in some weird, chino-laden rave, but because royalty requires one to be upstanding. Four and half minutes was all it took to secure one of the rarest McLaren F1s and thus one of the rarest cars ever built. The buyer is a private collector who lives in the USA, and will no doubt enjoy one of just two McLaren F1s upgraded by McLaren itself to LM spec.
