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 – 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 – bearing the designation 56XPGT – 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.
