McLaren F1

The first true ultra luxury sports car is none other than the McLaren F1. Formerly the world's fastest production car, the McLaren F1 held that title for about a decade until 2005 when first the Koenigsegg CCR then the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 broke its top speed record of roughly 240 mph. Although it was beaten, the McLaren F1 is extremely popular among ultra luxury car lovers for its raw performance and beauty. One reason that the McLaren F1 is so coveted is because only 72 street-legal versions were ever made! Despite its mammoth price of over $1,000,000, the McLaren F1 is and always will be one of the most desirable ultra luxury cars ever.
