McLaren F1

The McLaren F1 was the super car from 1992-1998 with only 106 made. For about $970,000 you get three seats, luggage compartments, and a gold lined engine compartment because its the best insulator. Another thing you get is a car that can go from 0-60 in 3.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 243 mph. It does this with a curb weight of 2,513 lb and a BMW 6.1 L, V12 with 618 hp. One reason the car was so light is because the body panels where made of carbon fiber. Since the car was made of carbon fiber it needed a good insulator so about .8 ounces of gold foil was used on each car in the engine bay. As of today each .8 ounces of gold out of the engine compartment would cost $1363.84. Further more the McLaren F1 can get up to 23 mpg!
