On Monday a very rare supercar, a $2M-McLaren F1, literally went up in smoke on a Santa Rosa street and reported in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.

Irv Kessler was driving along on Airport Boulevard in Santa Rosa, California when someone noticed some smoke coming from the back of the car.

But by the time he exited the car to check the problem, the car was engulfed by flames.

A new world record was set in London At the latest RM Auctions event held on October 29 when a beautiful and rare British-made 1997 McLaren F1 supercar sold for $4 million.

One of only 75 examples made, the car on offer more than doubled its pre-sale estimate to the astonishment of observers who conjectured world economic factors might dampen bidders’ enthusiasm.

One of the first carbon fiber-bodied production cars, the F1 was the fastest street legal production car in the world for over a decade, the longest period the record has been held by any street legal or production car in the history of automobiles.
