Classic cars to add to your collection gafencu auction most expensive 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, chassis number 4153 GT (2)

Starting a car collection? 8 classic cars that you should not miss!

Motoring enthusiasts were in for something of a treat when Monterey Car Week, the much-lauded annual Californian automobile event, roared into town once more in mid-August. While there were hundreds of stunning motorcars on display, the star draw of the entire week-long affair was undeniably a rare 1994 McLaren F1 ‘LM-Specification’.

Part of just 106 cars to bear the McLaren F1 name, this particular model’s provenance is further burnished by the fact that it is one of only two extant examples to bear the ‘LM’ designation. For the uninitiated, this refers to the suite of upgrades – a new 680bHp GTR racing engine, and an aerodynamic transformation of its nose, front fender vents and rear wing – fitted post-production to the two McLaren F1s upon the motoring marque’s triumphant victory at the 1995 Le Mans race victory.

Given its rarified provenance, impeccably maintained body and an odometer reading of less than 21,500km, it came as no surprise that the final hammer price at the RM Sotheby’s auction where it was sold was a staggering US$19.8 million, simultaneously making it the most expensive McLaren ever sold at auction as well as the priciest car sold this year to date.

Luxury Choice: Our top shopping items for men this April

A sexy beast has been let loose on the streets of Hong Kong, and it comes courtesy of acclaimed automobile marque McLaren. Yes, we&#8217;re talking about the McLaren 600LT, the fourth model in the iconic Longtail range and so far the lightest, most powerful and fastest model to join McLaren&#8217;s hallowed Sports Series.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-41550" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-2.jpg" alt="McLaren 600LT" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-2.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-2-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-2-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-2-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-2-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-2-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/1-2-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Explaining why the 600LT is a fitting addition to the Longtail range, Charlotte Dickson, Head of North Asia McLaren Automotive Asia Pacific, explains: &#8220;The 600LT is a testament to McLaren’s unwavering commitment to producing the ultimate supercars through pioneering design and ground-breaking engineering. McLaren 600LT pushes driving performance to the absolute edge.&#8221;
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-41551" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2-2.jpg" alt="McLaren 600LT" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2-2.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2-2-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2-2-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2-2-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2-2-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2-2-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2-2-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
While it may seem a bit like PR speak, with its impressive specifications, the 600LT is more equipped than most to deliver on this claim. Indeed, thanks to its carbonfibre body and relatively light weight of 1,274kg that allows for breathtaking acceleration, juxtaposed with McLaren Senna-inspired brakes for accurate stopping, this car can be a fine example of precision control in the right hands.
With this wondrous automobile, McLaren breathes life into its famous Longtail range. The legacy of the Longtail began in 1995, when the McLaren F1 GTR swept to victory at Le Mans at the first attempt, becoming one of the most important racing cars in motorsport history.

McLaren 600LT: The latest car in the ‘Longtail’ series unveiled in Hong Kong

Imagine, gentle reader, a cardboard box. Picture this box fresh and new, securely taped shut – both top and bottom.
Strong, isn’t it? Nice and rigid, resisting forces applied to it with stern resilience.
Now slice the top off and see what it becomes: a feeble, floppy mess, twisting this way and that at the slightest pressure. Removing the extra support provided by the top dramatically reduces the strength of the box as a whole.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-28430 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-02.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-02.jpg 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-02-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-02-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-02-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-02-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-02-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" />
The same, on a larger scale, is true of cars. A strong coupé or saloon body shell can be rendered a bendy embarrassment by cutting the roof off in a bid to manufacture wind-in-the-hair glee.
Car makers are usually faced with a choice between accepting the sloppy handling a weakened chop-top chassis inevitably creates or adding strengthening girders to the remaining bottom portion of the car to stiffen things up, resulting in extra weight.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-28431 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-03.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-03.jpg 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-03-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-03-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-03-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-03-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-03-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" />
The new open-topped Spider edition of McLaren’s 570S sports car, however, is neither heavy nor floppy. The convertible is every bit as stiff and agile as its fixed-roof siblings, while squashing the scales with about the same heft.
The source of this have-your-cake-and-eat-it miracle is a solid chunk of racing car technology at the heart of all modern McLaren models – a carbon fibre ‘tub’. Most cars derive their strength from a continuous metal body shell, with forces spread across the floor and roof. By contrast, McLaren’s carbon fibre tub – so called because it’s shaped like a broad bathtub – holds strong with or without a roof.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-28432 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-04.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-04.jpg 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-04-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-04-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-04-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-04-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-04-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" />
The benefits of this carbon fibre backbone are numerous. Increased stiffness makes for more predictable and consistent handling, with the suspension geometry undisturbed by chassis flex. Reduced weight makes the car more agile, allowing for quicker acceleration and improved braking around corners.
The tub also acts as a survival cell, armouring occupants against crash damage. But perhaps the biggest boon is the feeling of shared experience with professional racers that a 570S Spider owner derives from knowing that this car is based on Formula 1 technology.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-28433 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-05.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-05.jpg 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-05-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-05-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-05-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-05-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wheels-1017-05-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" />
That sense of kinship with those who wear scorch-proof onesies and spray champagne for a living is further underlined by the Spider’s driving experience. It’s amazingly fast.
From a standing start, the 494kw 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 will hurl the McLaren’s 1,498kg to 100kph in just 3.2 seconds. Given enough road and enough bravery, a top speed of 328kph is possible.
These abstract numbers do little to communicate the startlingly rapid way that the world rushes to meet the driver.

After the mental shock comes the physical. Accelerating hard isn’t so bad; simply lean back and let the headrest take the strain. Braking is a different matter. Squeezing on the optional carbon ceramic brakes is like crash landing in water. Neck muscles strain to keep one’s focal point ahead rather than straight down.
The brakes are one of the few flat notes in the Spider’s symphony of speed. While they respond well – &nbsp;translating foot pressure into deceleration promptly and predictably – there’s little feel through the pedal, making the job of judging grip levels more difficult.

As a high-speed attack weapon, the Spider is an impressive performer, but it’s capable of more than one trick. With the roof fixed in place and a gentle touch on the controls, it’s also a civilised and comfortable everyday car.
Offering good all-round visibility and taking up a sensible portion of road space, it’s easy to drive through crowded city streets and manoeuvre into cramped parking spots. Although stiffer than an SUV, the suspension will soak up lumps, bumps and potholes well enough to prevent discomfort.

It’s also a competent long-distance weekend cruiser. With the roof in place there’s little clue that the Spider is in fact a convertible. The wind roar at high speeds is minimal and the road noise is acceptable, albeit more than one might expect from a typical luxury saloon or coupé.
Overall, the Spider does everything a fixed-head 570S does, with the added element of open-top driving pleasure. The only question is whether those advantages justify the HK$205,000 price increase over the Coupé. A quick top-down, full-throttle blast through a tunnel should be answer enough for anyone.
