Watch here as the McLaren F1 is driven to its very limit. Reaching a maximum speed of 391km/h (243mph), the F1 proves it's still one of the world's fastest cars. And we get a ride onboard.

Expect to see long, winding roads, police and a flock of sheep to boot, in this special extended video feature.
Autocar is a really good show, excellent car reviews that are entertaining without all the fat that you get on TG. I'm not a fan of the 12c but like the 12c GT3

Morpheus - Mclaren is a fantastic brand and leads in many areas of engineering. What Gordon Murray did with the original F1, SLR and now the MP4-12C pushes boundaries in the automotive world. With that said i'm not a huge fan of the newest mclaren, there's nothing to truly dislike about it however it doesn't capture my emotions like the previous models did. Sort of like the GTR for me doesn't push the right buttons.
teems1 - the F1 is in a completely different league but i would also like the mp4 over the 458.
