NORR BLIMEY Lando Norris lifts lid on luxury car collection with ultra-rare £2MILLION Lamborghini and iconic £1million Ferrari
LANDO NORRIS loves to rip around the streets of Monte Carlo, driving one of his prized cars with the sunroof open.
The McLaren driver largely keeps to himself in Monaco — even ordering in food to his apartment to avoid the beady eyes on him.

But the one thing Norris, 25, does not mind showing off is his multi-million collection of luxury motors.
The jewel in the crown is his Lamborghini Miura, widely considered the first supercar ever made.
Fewer than 800 were built between 1966 and 1973 and it was Norris' biggest purchase, for around £2million.
He said: 'I bought it because I watched the Lamborghini movie. It's a car I loved and thought it was pretty cool.
'That was the first decent purchase I made for a car. It's one of the best-looking cars ever been made.
I grew up loving cars. I'm lucky I get to drive them and buy them because I have always dreamed of it.'
Norris' Ferrari F40 has a £1m-plus price tag and is the poster car of the 1980s.
But he was seething when someone he has not named borrowed it over New Year — and crashed it in Monaco.

A video of the incident went viral. And asked if the car was back to normal, he replied through gritted teeth: 'No. It was when I was away. I wasn't happy at all.'
Norris also owns a McLaren 765LT Spider, P1 and Senna which he has jazzed up with his own tweaks.
The £360k Spider has 'LN' on the driver's seat and a stamp on it reads 'me in a car'.
It is finished in blue and yellow to match Norris' helmet with a British flag inside the door and four yellow stripes to mark his race number.
The Brit also owns a £1.1m Porsche Carrera GT in a dark green shade plus a 1972 Fiat 500 Jolly Evocation.
The latest in his collection seems to be his new £230k Lamborghini Urus, which he was spotted driving at the Place du Casino in Monaco a few months back.

He added: 'McLarens have been the ones that I've spent the most time making and doing special touches on.
'I prefer classics and older cars more than modern ones.'
Norris admits he is putting his party-boy reputation behind him — he is more likely to spend time playing golf and padel with pal Max Verstappen — as he focuses on becoming world champion.
He said: 'Sometimes it's nice to let loose. It's not something I've done this year.
'I'm a guy that wants to enjoy my life but I also know the balance of what's good for me and what's not.
'Nothing takes away from the fact I've always prioritised F1 and being the best driver I can be.
'I'm a very private guy but sometimes people wait outside my apartment.
'That's probably the least amount of respect someone can have — I find that very weird and awkward.'
Norris finished second in Imola last time out and trails team-mate Oscar Piastri by 13 points. But he is currently 11 clear of four-time world champ Verstappen.
Norris said: 'I have a lot of respect for Max. He's looked out for me and we've had some fun nights together.'
And Norris might just let his hair down if he is victorious in Monaco, saying: 'I haven't had a big night out in Monaco for a long time. It's a place where everyone dreams of winning so we'll wait and see.'

New, limited edition McLaren 750S Le Mans is a track demon
The Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race is right around the corner and to celebrate 30 years since its overall win in 1995, McLaren has unveiled the 750S Le Mans. If this sounds familiar, then you'd be right because back in 2020 McLaren marked the 25th anniversary of its win with the special edition 720S Le Mans. Aside from the performance upgrades the 750S introduced in 2023, there's also a new 'High Downforce Kit' from McLaren Special Operations for 'additional track performance'. Advertisement - Article continues below The standard 750S proved exceptionally popular when it was released three years ago, with order books immediately filling up for 18 months. The 750S Le Mans is likely to be in even more demand, with just 50 units planned – the same amount as the 720S Le Mans. The 750S Le Mans wears the colours of McLaren's famous 1995 Le Mans-winning number 59 F1 GTR with grey exterior paint – although McLaren's distinctive orange paint is optionally available, too. The 750S also gets a roof scoop and five-spoke LM wheels, reminiscent of the McLaren F1 GTR's. The MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK) consists of a new active rear carbon spoiler and an enlarged carbon-fibre splitter combining for an extra 10 per cent of downforce. The 750S's powertrain remains unchanged, with a four-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 740bhp and 800Nm for a 2.8-second zero to 62mph time. That power goes to the rear wheels via a revised (over the 720S) seven-speed automatic gearbox. Inside, you'll find McLaren's typically stripped-back cabin with a roll cage and a choice of Le Mans-branded bucket seats – either fully-upholstered or with exposed carbon fibre. There's also a bespoke plaque that acknowledges the 1995 victory where the dominant F1 GTR not only took the win, but also finished third, fourth and fifth. McLaren will be at this year's Le Mans racing in the LMGT3 class with its 750S-based GT3 EVO cars; in 2027 it'll enter the Hypercar class to compete for top honours.

This very special 750S celebrates McLaren's 1995 Le Mans victory
This very special 750S celebrates McLaren's 1995 Le Mans victory Le Mans special edition limited to 50 units, gets cues from the title-winning '95 F1 GTR Skip 8 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. 1 / 8 It's been 30 years since the McLaren F1 GTR romped to victory at one of the wettest 24 Hours of Le Mans on record. Rather than a couple of candles, a cake and some party hats, McLaren is saluting it with this hunkered-down 750S special edition. In news that'll likely surprise, it's called the 750S Le Mans. There's a new 'High Downforce' kit, which, in more surprising news, offers increased downforce. It's been built in-house by the MSO modifications team, and includes a larger front splitter, a suction scoop on the roof, an active rear wing and a louvred under-wing panel. They combine to increase downforce by as much as 10 per cent. On an already quick car. Yikes. Advertisement - Page continues below Elsewhere there are five-spoke alloys in the style of the ones on the winning #59 F1 chassis, gold brake calipers and wheel caps with blue/red detailing. Those stoppers can of course be upgraded to stronger track-focused alternatives if you so wish. Final touches comprise titanium exhaust tailpipes and a choice of two body colours: 'Le Mans Grey' or 'McLaren Orange'. It's an equally simple decision for the interior: black leather with the option of grey or orange Alcantara inserts. You'll also get a dedicated build slot plaque and Le Mans logos along the headrest and floor mats. McLaren hasn't mentioned any revisions to the 740bhp mid-mounted 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but in the non-High Downforce car that equates to 0-62mph in 2.8s and a 206mph top speed. Probably don't need more than that. Just 50 of these special 750S Le Mans cars will be sold at an as-yet undisclosed price. Likely far north of the standard car's £240k starting point, one would expect. Advertisement - Page continues below Top Gear Newsletter Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.

The daunting F1 reality: McLaren are getting faster, not slower
There is no doubt that Red Bull would have had high hopes that the flexi-wing regulation change introduced for the Spanish Grand Prix would negate some of McLaren's healthy advantage. Unfortunately for them, and any other team who would have hoped for a shake-up of the order at the top, there was none of that. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is a varied track with a range of corners. The teams know it very well through testing over the years. If you have a quick car there, you are quick at most tracks. We already knew the McLaren was quick at plenty of circuits, but their performance at the Spanish Grand Prix underlines that the regulation change has made no difference to their lead at the top of the order. McLaren holding back despite one-two In qualifying, the gap from the fastest McLaren to the next-fastest car was around 0.4 per cent, the biggest advantage the team have possessed since the Australian Grand Prix, when it was 0.5 per cent. Yes, Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and George Russell were within a 10th of a second of each other, but Norris had another very scruffy lap in Q3, which explains that somewhat. In the race on Sunday the long-run advantage was clearly there as they took another one-two finish, their third of the season and their seventh double podium. I feel that both Oscar Piastri and Norris were holding something back, though, which suggests they could have won even more comfortably. Piastri kept the lead at the start and then was in clean air and out of DRS range almost immediately. From that point, there was no reason for him to push much harder. Likewise to a certain extent for Norris, who probably knew that second was as good as he could manage. Looking at the drivers' championship, the gap from Piastri to Verstappen, in third, is now 49 points after the Dutchman's penalty for crashing into Russell. Norris, in second, is 39 points ahead of Verstappen. You have to say that it will take the McLaren drivers to start crashing into each other for Verstappen to be in with a chance of a fifth championship. You can never say never, though, as we are only nine rounds into a 24-race season. Yet I simply do not see McLaren tripping up from here and, in reality, they should secure their first drivers' championship since 2008. In their 'bad' weekends they still take home a good haul of points – in the two races they have not won, they have finished second and third. As quick as Verstappen has been, he showed last weekend that if you get hot under the collar you can throw away a lot of points. Sometimes you just have to accept where you are – for the foreseeable future Verstappen will still have to work with an inferior car. Despite the regulation change, the top four teams have pretty much stayed exactly where they were, though it is difficult to judge fully after just one race. Given the flexi-wing change was announced several months ago, the teams would have been hard at work for a while, producing front wings that comply. In Imola, they would have run 90 per cent of what they would have used at Barcelona with the front wings. This was not a light-switch moment for any team. It probably cost each of them £500,000 to develop the new parts, but has been an invisible difference to the punter. Williams the big losers, Sauber the winners That is not to say the change has made no difference at all. Certainly, Williams struggled uncharacteristically this weekend when they have been strong in almost every other round. Indeed, this is only the second time they have not scored points all season and comes after four double-point finishes in a row. Further down, Sauber improved enough to take fifth place with Nico Hulkenberg, though they started from a low base and also brought new parts for this weekend. Although the order has not changed that much, the technical directive may have helped some teams become more consistent in how their car is operating. These cars are always on the move, gaining or losing speed depending on the corner speed and, with that, the ride height is constantly changing because of the fluctuation of the loads on the car. A less flexible front wing means you can more quickly get to a set-up that does not need to cater for as many changes and also slows you to optimise the performance of the car. In short: it is easier for them to focus on the set-up changes that make the car better and more consistent over a whole lap, and not just one particular sector or one type of corner. Sadly for McLaren's rivals, the MCL39 was again quick in every sector in Spain. It is hard to see that changing between now and the end of the season.
