This is what 16 McLaren F1 GTRs sound like on track at the same time

McLaren is known first and foremost for making racing cars, but when it made the legendary F1, it never intended to take the speedster racing. Fortunately, McLaren changed its mind in the end with the creation of the all-conquering F1 GTR. Because McLaren only made 28, seeing just one GTR is a rare opportunity. But at the Goodwood Members' Meeting this past weekend, McLaren didn't just bring a few of them together: it brought out a staggering array of 16 of them, all running around the track at the same time. The ensuing cacophony is a sound to hear, and you can take it all in from the video above, captured by supercar spotter Marchettino.

McLaren taunts us with two supercars we can't have

Most of the supercars we're seeing at the Geneva Motor Show are well beyond our reach, but they're usually obtainable for a truckload of cash. Not the P1 or 675LT Spider. Both are sold out. Alongside the new 570GT, McLaren arrived at the Geneva Palexpo this year with two supercars that are entirely sold out. Chief among them is the P1 that McLaren Special Operations has completely redone in bare carbon fiber – albeit lacquered in blue and fitted with a 24-karat gold heatshield, just like on the original McLaren F1. Of course, since the P1 is all sold out, we can't have one, but MSO is still catering to the existing owners by offering this sort of upgrades. Joining it is the 675LT Spider which – like the P1 – is also completely sold out. Fans of Woking's finest will recall that the 675LT Spider followed the coupe, which was in turn based on the same underpinnings as the 650S and the 12C before it in McLaren's mid-level Super Series. As with the 675LT coupe, the Spider packs a more powerful version of the company's 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, propelling it from a standstill to 62 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds. Related Video:
