I thought the street version of the longtail was just called the F1 GT.

I wonder why PD didn't include this beauty alongside its racing sister.

 

[Lubeify100]

I've always wanted this in GT! I like it more than the regular f1

And you are absolutely right. It is called the McLaren F1 GT.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

And you are absolutely right. It is called the McLaren F1 GT.

Cool.

With that comfirmed, can the OP please change the title to "Mclaren F1 GT" for accuracy?

 

[RagingDaemon]

Vicious! More menacing than the F1. Deserves more votes for sure

Number 1 must-have if this car gets to GT: It must have the ability to have custom parts, so we can put a rear wing on this car. However, the top speed physics on this car may be too high, so it'll also be pretty fast, faster than the F1 that's added to GT6.

wut. Seriously, what does that mean?

This car is known also as Mclaren F1 GT Longtail.

The F1 in GT6 can't reach it's well-known top speed of 375KM/H so well without a custom transmission. Probably since this car might have streamlined aerodynamics, it's likely to reach a higher speed than the F1 if it gets to GT6.

Possibly, with the longer rear line, but the spoiler would probably negate it with quite a bit of downforce. No clean cut for the airflow, either.

Sorry

 

[Bo]

Sorry

You were right, the GTR is often referred to in shorthand as the longtail.

Even though it's 3 letters vs 8.

 

[StarLight]

Yes, it's a longtail ... and beautiful.
👍

 

[G.T.Ace]

The race version was called GTR Longtail, so it's not completely wrong.
I'm diggin' it, although I want the race car even more in Premium quality, my favourite McLaren.
Always thought the regular F1 looked a bit squished.

 

[Elias623]

That's not a car. That's just sex on wheels!

 

[TayeezSA]

Ah yes, NFS High Stakes on the PS1. The good old days

Talk about some serious car porn

What do you mean?

 

[Bo]

What do you mean?

It's not an F1 GT?

Bingo

That's the Longtail with a spoiler. Right?

 

[Bo]

That's the Longtail with a spoiler. Right?

No. The GT is the GTR homologation car.

 

[Cjamesdixie02]

No. The GT is the GTR homologation car.

Oh ok, I'd like to see that version in the game along with the GT

PS: Should I sell my RedBull X2014 and buy the '97 McLaren F1 GTR, or keep the RedBull?

Nope, it wasn't.

McLaren just called it the GTR, the same as the short-tailed cars in 1995 and 1996.

It was the press, commentators and car enthusiasts that christened it the longtail.

Anyway it needs to be in GT, it was in FM3, dunno about the later games. McLaren themselves are making it better known by showcasing the one they own at various events. It was on their Geneva stand alongside the 675LT and P1 GTR recently.
