10 best?
The 10 best of what? Sportscars, or sportscars that made money in a way that made the Car Company "go forward" or "take leaps" in technology or production designs?
The McLaren F1 was a fab car, but the company lost lots of money for every car it produced... And what did it change? I would compare it with a race car like the Porsche 911 GT1, a car that beat it fair and square at Le Mans. The 911 GT1never got the "same cult following". But what has McLaren contributed to in sportscars terms since?
No the Miura, the Countach, the Murcielago, the 250 GTO, the 512 BB, the 288 GTO, the F40, the 360 Challenge Stradale, the Enzo, the 430, the 356, the 911 and the 911s that followed and still do (this car is totally unique as we well know), the GT2 and GT3, the Corvette... And what of the Mercedes SL...
McLaren F1 sold what, some 40 road cars? The F40 sold more than 1100! And they sold for much more than their list-price and still do...
The Sports Cars Companies is Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche in my book... In no particular order, that is!
