Epic race cars

Only five McLaren F1 LM (LM for Le Mans) cars were built in honour of the five McLaren F1 GTRs which finished the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, including taking the overall win.[31]
The weight was reduced by approximately 75 kg (165 lb) over that of original, through the removal of various pieces of trim and use of optional equipment. The car also had a different transaxle, various aerodynamic modifications, specially-designed 18-inch (457 mm) magnesium alloy wheels and upgraded gearbox. The F1 LM used the same engine as the 1995 F1 GTR, however, without race-mandated restrictors to produce 680 hp (507 kW; 689 PS). It had a top speed of 225 mph (362 km/h), which is less than the standard version because of added aerodynamic drag, despite identical gear ratios. The LM is 76 kg (168 lb) lighter than the stock F1 – a total mass of 1,062 kg (2,341 lb) – achieved by having no interior noise suppression, no audio system, a very stripped-down base interior, no fan-assisted ground effect and no dynamic rear wing. In the place of the small dynamic rear wing there is a considerably larger, fixed CFRP rear wing mounted on the back of the vehicle.
The LM machine has the following performance figures: peak torque of 705.0 Nm (520.0 ft·lbf) at 4500 rpm and peak power of 680 PS (500 kW) at 7800 rpm, it has a redline at 8500 rpm. The total weight of 1,062 kg (2,341 lb) gives the car a 110.16 bhp (82 kW; 112 PS) per litre ratio.[32]
With a traction-limited 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 3.9 seconds and 0-100 mph (161 km/h) of 6.7 seconds, the LM accelerates very quickly indeed.[33] It was once the holder of the 0-100-0 mph record which it completed in 11.5 seconds when driven by Andy Wallace at the disused airbase RAF Alconbury in Cambridgeshire.[34][35]
The F1 LMs can be identified by their Papaya Orange paint. The F1 LMs were painted in this colour in memory and tribute to Bruce McLaren, whose race colour was Papaya Orange.
Although only five F1 LMs were sold, a sixth chassis exists in the form of XP1 LM, the prototype for modifications to the existing F1 to form the new F1 LM. This car is also painted Papaya Orange and is retained by McLaren. This car, reportedly worth $4 million, has been promised by McLaren CEO Ron Dennis to his driver Lewis Hamilton if he should win an additional two Formula One World Championship titles.[36]

As much as this is my absolute favorite car, it doesn’t fit the topic as it’s not an epic race car. The LM’s never raced, they were revised F1’s modified beyond GTR restrictions. Correct your post for Mclaren GTR chassis #01R

Me busting yer balls If you’d like me to do it for you, I have a very nice limited edition book from Mclaren cars LTd all about these cars I can pull infor from for you!
