After months of subtle hints, McLaren have finally taken the wraps off the all-new Speedtail. Slated by the British manufacturer as a 'Hyper-GT', it is the fastest McLaren ever built. In many ways, it is inspired by the legendary F1, it eclipses as it uses a three-seater layout with a centred driver and production is strictly limited to just 106 examples. The slippery design is quite unlike any other McLaren and is clearly aimed at high top speeds. The strikingly long tail is reminiscent of the record breaking streamliners of the 1930s. Underneath the carbon-fibre composite panels, the Speedtail is more closely related to the current range of McLarens. It is powered by a hybrid drivetrain that includes the current four-litre twin-turbo V8 and is good for a combined 1,035bhp. This helps propel the car to a top speed of 250mph. Considering the power available and the extremely aerodynamic design, it seems likely that this is a capped top speed for safety reasons. Inside, the Speedtail boasts a three-seater layout with a symmetrical cockpit. As the gearbox is now controlled by paddles behind the steering wheel instead of a conventional gear lever, the car can be entered by the driver from either side. The passengers are placed slightly rearwards to free up more legroom. On either side of the dashboard screens are placed that are connected to rearward facing cameras that replace the wing-mirrors.
Due be delivered from the start of 2020, all 106 Speedtails have already been spoken for. In the coming months the future owners will be closely involved in creating a bespoke specification for their cars with a white range of custom features, which include hugely expensive white-gold badges.
