You’re about to read a watershed road test: not simply because it’s of the fastest road car in history, but, in all likelihood, it’ll remain the fastest road test ever. Until we strapped our equipment onto the McLaren F1 no one knew how fast it was. Now we do, because we’ve driven it beyond 200mph, and timed it to the last hundredth of a second. And here it stops: McLaren will never release another of its amazing £540,000 supercars for road testing to anyone, anywhere in the world.
