^Eye bleach needed ^. Way ahead of its time. Way past my time. But if it can do warp 9 then maybe OK. Got to pick up something on mars, back in a few.
Papaya Spark is an awesome color in the sun. So is Volcano Yellow.

I've figured out what McLaren is doing.

They are basically a kit car company:

Same old V8 from Nissan
Use Vector and Mosler designs from 80s
Profit

Thx- been busy. Will respond to your pm. I still don’t have the car and apparently shipping has been delayed again. Paid for it almost 3-4 weeks ago and keep being told truck didn’t pick it up, truck got delayed and truck broke down. Apparently there is one truck in the world that can transport this car as it is so freaking special. Meanwhile car paid for in full by me. Oh well, it’ll show up in 2019 sometime I’m sure.

There should be a lemon law for transporting cars.

Daddy Elon must feel flattered given the similarity of the front lights and fascia.

What on earth? Where is this car? I'm not doing anything this weekend, I'll borrow a trailer and pick it up. What a bunch of Shenanigans.

I don’t see how P1/Senna/Speedtail prices stay high if they are going to keep pumping out what is essentially variations on the same car.

And how is the paint not going to crack on the ailerons eventually? Sort of defeats the purpose of an MSO paint ....

Was thinking the same exact thing. Speedtail looks like a mashup of a stretched Tesla Roadster 2.0 and Model X, the wheels even look identical to the 22s on my Model X. If their intention was to make the Senna look good, mission accomplished. Give me the AMG Project One, THAT is a car that looks the business and my favorite hypercar design for some reason.

Have a hard time believing this is the successor to the F1. Kinda bummed actually, maybe a knee jerk reaction though and hopefully looks better in the flesh
