These Pics Of McLaren's New US F1 Service Centre Are Jaw Dropping

McLaren has opened a new service centre in North America to take care of F1 supercars living on the continent

If you’re a McLaren F1 owner in North America, life just got a whole lot easier. Previously, examples of the Gordon Murray-designed supercar would have to be shipped back to the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, UK for maintenance, but that’s no longer the case thanks to the all-new North American McLaren F1 Service Center.

It’s operated by McLaren Philadelphia, but has been built “at a remote site in Pennsylvania, set up to ensure customer discretion and privacy.” There are more F1s out there than you might think, too: despite McLaren never officially importing the car to the US, over 20 currently reside in North America - around 20 per cent of all F1s ever built.

The new facility has a set of the original F1 service tools, and yes, that includes one of the early 90s-spec laptops required to communicate with the car using ancient DOS-based software.

We strongly recommend you take a look through some more pictures of the place. How good does a McLaren F1 look partially disassembled?

Well, it’s not like if F1s were being used at all…

Is that a F1 LM on the last picture? If so, I’d be really surprised the owner would actually use it and not let it rot in a climate-controlled garage.

Nah those are people probably so rich that they say: Hey I have a McLaren F1 LM! It was delivered to my garage in 1997 and I never had time to drive it!

A lot of F1 owners actually drive their car, look up the McLaren F1 tour

Just to point this out, but Matt, you spaced “percent”. Is that a small error or a confusing rule?

Both is allowed, the British like to put a space between the two words.

Percent and per cent are both correct, but the latter is CT house style :)

Holy sh*t, I misread the title as “Pics of McLaren’s New SUV…” - luckily I noticed it, otherwise I would now be shaking my head asking myself in what a freakin world we live in where sports car makers build 2.5 tonnes SUVs…

Remember that this is the world where supercar manufacturers are making SUVs, tech companies are making cars, vacuum companies are making cars, and car manufacturers famous for being in the World Rally Championship are making anime.

DOS-based? Oh god. They have all that cash and can’t hire to create a simple software tool.
As a programmer, this is bad. Now I understand why all these modern cars can be easily hacked.
