It Cost $33,000 To Replace The Windshield On A McLaren F1 – Price Of 2024 Toyota RAV4
Replacing a cracked windshield on the limited-edition centre-drive McLaren F1 two-door Coupé will cost you $33,000.
The replacement cost will buy a brand new 2024 Toyota RAV4 Crossover SUV, which starts at $28,475.
Each of the windshields cost $250k while installation cost $8k, though owners of F1 won’t mind due to the value of their cars.
Today, examples of F1 command an auction price of $20m, considering just 106 examples were built between 1992 and 1998.
Mr Bean’s (Rowan Atkinson) immaculately repaired McLaren F1 sold for $12 million years back after two crashes.
Replacing a cracked windshield on the limited-edition centre-drive McLaren F1 two-door Coupé will cost you $33,000 (N27 million) – yes, you heard that right, and that money can buy a brand new 2024 Toyota RAV4 Crossover SUV, which starts at $28,475.
An unnamed source familiar with McLaren F1 replacement parts told Motor1 that each of the windshields cost $25k, excluding the $8,000 to install it, though the current owners of F1 won’t mind that price considering the value of their cars.

Today, low-mileage examples of F1 command an auction price of over $20 million, considering just 106 examples were built between 1992 and 1998 – remember Mr Bean’s (Rowan Atkinson) immaculately repaired F1 sold for $12 million years back after two crashes.
When the car came up for sale, Mr Bean, who bought his McLaren F1 for $800,000+ in August 1997, told Andrew Frankel in a Daily Telegraph article that “it was never bought as an investment.”
“I bought it for the quality of the thinking that went into its design, and now it has become a thing of value, it is time for it to be enjoyed by someone else.”
With a top speed of 240 mph (386 km/h), the 618-horsepower McLaren F1 two-door Coupé, which boasts a center-based driving seat, remains one of the fastest production cars ever made.
