McLaren Gets Radical With 1036HP 250MPH Speedtail

Sleek, isn’t it? Long and low and lean and, well, sleek. A streamliner. This is it, the McLaren Speedtail, the car formerly known as BP23 and likely forever known as the spiritual successor to the F1. Three seats, stratospheric top speed and a price tag that’s similarly out of this world.

Facts, though, have been in short supply. And when we’re starved of facts, we feed off myths. The rumour mill spooled up with tales of a 300mph target, of Chiron-beating power, and, to be fair, all we did was fan the flames.

I'm not the biggest fan of McLaren's styling on the P1 or 650 but I like this.

Love the central seat driving position and interior but not sure about exterior?
Performance will be awesome. Just for fun I have test driven a 570GT, a 720S and a lawyers 675 Spider. Very fast, great riding cars.

Looks like a Jaguar XJ220 and a Pontiac Banshee had a kid

Ah, the Banshee. Thought it was cool back in the day because it reminded me of the GRX from Speed Racer.

This will be a limited production and most if not all will end up in car collections and likely never actually have their tires on the ground

Just 106 cars.

UGLY as a turd after a night of eating corn.

I'd rather have a P1. 5.2M is a really long car where you can't judge either end of it well from the driver's seat.

One of the few times I agree with Matt, might also add that it's ugly as the Valkyrie and the Senna.
