Some time ago, we have presented a glimpse of the new 3 seater car from McLaren called the McLaren Speedtail. This car is described as a supercar figure which is also touted as the successor of the McLaren F1 and sold at a very expensive price. Of course you still remember to the McLaren F1, right?

The use of a new type of carbon fiber monocage chassis made from lightweight that features titanium woven, fully carbon fiber body panels, and even the use of one carat white gold on the car's emblem makes the curb weight only 1.430 kg. The rearview mirror is not seen on this car, instead a pair of retractable digital cameras can be mounted on the tail end, which is useful in addition to monitoring the situation behind the vehicle, also to improve aerodynamic performance.

Enter to the car's interior by opening the motorized door that is typical of McLaren, and in this section you will find out why Speedtail is made to continue the image of its predecessor F1. Then the typical F1 3-seater configuration is again pinned on this supercar with the composition of one driver's seat in the middle flanked by 2 passenger seats on the left and right. Adjusting the present shape and material makes the difference with F1. It's a little less comfortable for the rear seats for passengers because those two seats are attached to the interior panel.

The dashboard panel itself has a very minimalist shape. There are no lines that crawl or collide. Then there are three large screens that adorn the panel to adjust various car settings such as air conditioning in the cabin and also in car entertainment.
Unfortunately McLaren and MSO as well still have not given a statement about the engine used in this supercar. Many speculate that this car uses a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine as used by McLaren Senna. Coupled with an electric motor, this car is expected to have a power output of 1,035 hp.
This supercar will be made in a limited number of only 106 units same as its predecessor as well and reportedly has been sold entirely. The selling price of each unit starts from £1.75 million or around US. $2.24 million (around Rp.34 billion) plus taxes.
