Yes, the Trofeo R's are certainly a big factor...

this guy did a really good job conveying the emotion one feels driving the Senna. Even with P1 experience, this car simply scrambles your brain. I can't think of a car which has been made like this in many years.. again, maybe the F40 was this pure? if you're the type who doesn't care for anything except how a car "feels" when you drive, try to get a ride or a drive (or an allocation).. mclaren did something completely brave and singularly focused with this car. I remain in complete lust, more than a month after my drive in one.

add Me to that list. It’s much shorter than what you have to do to get a Pista or a gt2rs.

I was with you until I googled what a belfie was, and I still want a 3 pedal 612.

Thanks - I would be interested to see subjective review of 600LT and laptime in this group for context.

Old video but I've got a good buddy who is at the unveiling in London as we speak. We tried to think of ways to hide a camera on him but didn't want to risk the allocation. I'm waiting for a text description of Speedtail and will update here

update:
1. It is an engineering and aerodynamic study for Mcl. The front looks like a mash of Model 3 + 720. The rear looks incredible. It's 5.1m long.
2. 1050hp. 1100Nm. 1450kg. 250mph. O-300kmph in 11sec.
3. Incredible technology of new ti infused CF. Tighter CF weave.
4. Body design is super super aero slick.
