The $14 million McLaren F1 supercar is now 25 years old

Last Sunday, the legendary McLaren F1 supercar turned 25.

For most, it's hard to believe the iconic marvel of engineering is a full quarter century old.

To this day, the F1's modern design and speed demon performance stand up to the test of time.

"The F1 is a technological tour de force and a real triumph in terms of packaging and design," Former McLaren Automotive executive chairman Ron Dennis said in a statement in 2010. "Whether endurance racing or on road, it is supremely fast, agile, and yet comfortable. Its styling is enduring and will never fade."

Over a period of six years, including race cars, only 106 McLaren F1s were ever built. The rarity and iconic status of the model mean they command a king's ransom these days. A couple of years ago, comedian Jay Leno told Business Insider that someone once offered $11 million cash for his F1. The comedy legend and car collector politely declined that offer.

In 2015, a McLaren F1 belonging to comedian Rowan Atkinson sold for $12 million even though it had been destroyed and rebuilt on two separate occasions. Later that year, a converted LM spec F1 sold for $13.75 million at auction in Monterey, California.

Here's a closer look at the automotive marvel that is the McLaren F1.
