Mods: I did do a search and no results.

A rare Ford GT designed by McLaren. There were two cars made. In it's original McLaren configuration it rarely finished a race out of the 4 it was entered in, mainly due to brake or gearbox issues. It was ordered to be destroyed by customs officials. It's also a mod for GTR2.

Specs:
7.0ltr (427.0 in) V8
493BHP
571.93BHP per tone
862 kg

Just imagining what a partnership between Ford and McLaren would have produced had they stuck together for the long haul is enticing.
 
Like rare cars and this one is one of it.
