There are always spots that simply surprise you again. You're delighted that someone had the luck to discover such a rarity. This Speedtail definitely belonged to that category.
The teardrop-shaped cockpit and aerodynamically optimized body form the basis for its exceptional aerodynamic efficiency. Innovative features like static aero covers for the front wheels made of carbon fiber, retractable digital rear-view cameras (instead of mirrors), and patented active rear ailerons further contribute to achieving an extremely low drag.
The McLaren Speedtail model is based on a custom McLaren Monocage carbon fiber structure and benefits from a continuous lightweight design, including a full carbon fiber body, active aluminum suspension, and carbon-ceramic brakes. The powertrain is a groundbreaking petrol-electric hybrid with a combined output of 1,050 PS to support its exceptional performance. In a unique Velocity mode specifically developed for the Speedtail, it reaches a speed of 403 km/h (250 mph). The Velocity mode optimizes the hybrid powertrain for high-speed driving while adjusting the angle of the active rear ailerons. Furthermore, the digital rear-view cameras can retract to further improve aerodynamics. Additionally, the Velocity Active Chassis Control can lower the Speedtail by 35 mm, bringing the highest point of the vehicle to just 1,120 mm above the road surface. The hybrid powertrain allows for continuous acceleration regardless of the engine speed, and the lightweight of the McLaren Speedtail - only 1,430 kg dry - enhances this capability. The linear acceleration of the Speedtail sets new standards for a McLaren: 0–300 km/h (0–186 mph) in just 12.8 seconds; the previous Ultimate Series hybrid from McLaren Automotive, the McLaren P1, could achieve this speed in 16.5 seconds. Together with McLaren's technology partner, Pirelli, a custom-made P-ZERO tire has been developed specifically for the extreme speed of the Speedtail.
Sitting at the wheel of a McLaren Speedtail promises to be a truly sensational experience, unlike any other car. The driver sits centrally in the luxurious cockpit, with seats for two additional passengers slightly set back. There is luggage space both in the front and the rear of the vehicle, and each owner has access to a custom-made luggage set, with carbon fiber, leather, and metal craftsmanship matching the interior of their Speedtail. Speedtail depositors were recently invited to a private preview event in London to see a design model of the car. The model shines in Speedtail Silver, a nano-metallic paint specially developed by McLaren for this car, with a "molten effect," and is equipped with aniline leather - a leather dyed with soluble dyes to preserve the natural surface of the hide - as well as a new lightweight leather. The cockpit offers enticing glimpses into the amazing possibilities for personalization; as each McLaren Speedtail is tailored to the individual taste of the owner by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the department responsible for custom customer orders at McLaren Automotive, it's practically certain that no two specimens will be identical.
This stunning specimen was painted in a very rare color called Lantana Purple. It's simply a true delight to admire these beautiful pictures by susussin14. By the way, it's also worth checking out the rest of their spots, as they take very high-quality pictures and always deliver excellent spots...
