McLaren’s 2026 F1 car goes on sale for £9MILLION…but there’s a catch
McLaren has put one of their F1 cars up for public sale, although it’s unclear which specific car it is yet. The listing states it will be either Lando Norris’ or Oscar Piastri’s chassis from the 2026 MCL40A models. Potential buyers should beware of bidding, as the car is expected to fetch between $10-12 million in the upcoming auction in Abu Dhabi next month. CEO Zak Brown announced the auction in August, with Sotheby’s now officially listing the car for sale. In addition to the F1 car, McLaren is also selling their 2026 Arrow McLaren IndyCar and McLaren’s first LMDh hypercar. The F1 car won’t be available for two years after the auction due to intellectual property regulations, but a 2025 show car will be provided in the meantime. Once delivered, the F1 car will come with its power unit and be drivable at certain events with McLaren Racing support. The winning bidder and five guests will also receive invites to the McLaren Technology Centre and exclusive experiences at various races.
