Unable to afford one of only 106 McLaren F1 cars available worldwide, which cost around $8 million apiece, a Polish car enthusiast by the name of Jacek Mazur built one from spare parts... for just $35,000.
After eight years of hard work, which included sourcing the engine from an Audi and the brakes from a Mercedes, as well as other parts from BMWs, the amateur mechanic developed a replica of the McLaren F1 that can reach speeds of 320 km/h.
Mazur, who received help from about 30 family members and friends for this particular project, is also the proud owner of a self-made Lamborghini Countach and Porsche 911.
