Cool video. Still the baddest (road) McLaren out there IMO.

P.S. McLaren needs to bring back the 3-seat, centrally-located driver arrangement.

from 1993 till TODAY the fastest N/A serial production car. (record was at 1998 - but i guess also the 1993 models have done 380kph+)
thats 24 years!

Somebody - best Porsche with a 960 - should take care of that.

Remember seeing one for the first time in 1994 in the London showroom; just stood there staring at that engine bay for 30 minutes....

Isn't McLaren talking about bringing an F1 successor with the central driving position? I thought I've read some rumors,maybe I'm mistaking...

I know the car. It was on ParkLane. I would go by it almost everyday on my route from Belgravia to St. Johns Wood. They were asking 700,000 pounds.

Small world. Lived on Avenue Rd, St. Johns Wood 94/95...

Maybe if I win $10 million.. need to hit casino asap..

You are not mistaken. It's coming.

Rumored to be less hardcore than the F1, last I read. But will feature the same seating arrangement.

Very nice! I know it well - was at the American School from 94 - 2000. Funny I saw a brand new McLaren my first day back last summer parked on Lower Belgrave Street.

Greatest city in the world.

Used to drive by there every other day or so on my way to Hampstead!

They are bringing back the 3 seater hypercar. It is code named BP-23 and customers already have their deposits in and letters from Mclaren.

Used to go and look at it every time I was in London. My memory has the price at £630k, and it's ironic that they couldn't sell them at MRSP!

Can't help but think all the new Hypercars on the horizon (Mac, Merc, RedBull/Aston) are classic 'end of cycle' signs for the market, so we'll see some good stuff going cheap in a few years. Won't have the Le Mans pedigree of the F1 though.

Small world indeed. Lived in Park St. right behind that showroom for a few months. Used to see that car every day and did my fair share of drooling.

Baddest of the Macs (and most everything else) is right.

Even funnier I think that McLaren ended up in New Zealand and was the first and only one I ever sat in! Was the prototype P4? It was the showroom car in Parkland for a few years and bought by a wealthy NZ business man. It lived in Auckland NZ for a few years and I recall seeing it for sale in a showroom in Auckland in 1999. I took a few pictures (last two below). It was for sale for 2 Mill NZD ( around $1.2 USD at the time). We couldnt believe how expensive it was (most expensive road car sold in NZ for many years). Then it vanished. A few years later I did some business with the gentlemen who sold it. He sold it over a game of golf in the USA to a collector. There are some pictures here of the car in NZ, USA, NZ showroom. I believe I even have some of the car being serviced by McLaren Woking in the late 90s.

If this is the same car then the irony is we have all been within a few feet of it at different times in different countries :-)
