1997 McLaren F1 GT Longtail extends itself to Geneva

Tue, Mar 3 2015

McLaren arrived in Geneva this year with not one, but two new variants of its superlative supercars: the track-bound P1 GTR and the new 675LT. But lest you forget that the latter is not the first long-tailed model to roll out of Woking, it also brought along an example of the original.

The long-tailed McLaren F1 GT – and no, we're not missing an R at the end Â– was developed as a homologation special so that McLaren could field similarly extended F1 GTRs on the racing circuit. Only three examples were ever made: 54F1GT currently resides in Brunei. 58F1GT lives in Japan. But the final one Â– bearing the designation 56XPGT Â– was kept by the factory. That's the one you're looking at here, resplendent in dark metallic green and making a rare appearance at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
