I might take you up on that but it seems the dealer is trying to get it here. Hopefully they are trying hard but difficult to continue to be told all sorts of issues with "the truck". That special truck. The one and only in the whole world worthy enough to transport this very special car. Meanwhile, car paid for in full close to 3 weeks ago. Cant say its been fun or a pleasant experience, my first with Mclaren.

Im sure when the car arrives in 2021 and I finally get a chance to drive it, it will be worth the wait.

 

Thanks for posting. Shame the BBC did not detain Rory as host on Top Gear.

 

Why does this car look like it's wrapped in a giant condom.

 

After this car starts rolling in the streets, the 675 and 600 will have to be renamed 675 ST and 600 ST.

Say a prayer for the great Bruce McLaren, who does not deserve this.

 

In a world where Mercedes is investing $800M of research into the project one, tech which will trickle down to production cars (the architecture of the E53 cars for example with the electrical turbo). In a world where something beautiful and V12 like the AstonValkyrie is coming out... in a world where the hybrid/EV sportscar offering is getting every busier... They just needed to try harder, especially for $2M+. At a minimum, with a novel engine, not another rehash of same 4.0 v8 + hybrid like P1 engine for example.

Instead they treated the son of F1 as purely a profit project, resting on their history without putting in any real effort or investment. I already know multiple know who asked for their money back. this is a real pity actually, massive wasted opportunity for a true halo car for the brand.

 

 

I don't get all the negative comments on this. To me it is a beautiful modern shape that looks to the future...not the past. And as such, it may be a bit confronting to some people who expected a more familiar shape.

Also, while intended for a completely different purpose, it makes the new 935 (with a similar extended tail) look old fashioned and out of ideas in comparison. Bravo to McLaren for being so, well...brave.

 

Yeah the World is ending because McLaren is coming out with a 2.5 million $ turd. I'm sure many are in tears and thinking of committing unprecedented actions.

 

sounds like my recent experience w/Intercity....

 

Pretty strong words coming from a strong Macca fan! If only journalists were as objective as CAlexio.

Although I would temper it a bit since a lot of people reacted similarly to the Senna - saying it was ugly. And auto design is hard and whimsical... But it wasn't $2.5M either...

 

God better be driving that truck when it shows up with your car lol

 

 

New photos look a lot better.

 

 

The speedtail is like a lot of other leading edge/bleeding edge productions. It will grow on many people. So does toenail fungus but who of us without a few mil to burn care? Are all the complainers canceling their allocation? I am going to put $500.00 down tomorrow and spec one out. MSO all the way baby! Oh, and searching fleabay for Jetson outfits in my size.
But don't worry too much because the speedtail will knock the pre owned Senna price down to the used 911 TT price range.
And I love my 570S. And my GT3s.
