Unbegrenzt

Weil unsere erste Story zum McLaren Speedtail unerklärlicherweise verschwunden ist, wollen wir dafür einige neue Details zeigen, damit man sich doch ein Bild des englischen Hypercars machen kann, der mit 1050 PS auf eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 403 km/h kommen will, wenn er dann ab Anfang 2020 auf die Strassen kommt. 106 Exemplare wird es geben, selbstverständlich sind alle Exemplare längst verkauft, obwohl der Basispreis von 2,1 Millionen Pfund doch eher exorbitant ist. McLaren zeigt nun einige Varianten, die von Kunden bereits konfiguriert wurden – möglich ist so ziemlich alles, man kann auch Weissgold haben, das dann wohl zur schweren Halskette des Besitzers passt. Unsereins kennt noch so manche Dinge nicht – was ist, zum Beispiel, Nubuk-Leder? Einmal mehr zeigt sich auch beim Speedtail, dass die Verfügbarkeit von reichlich Spaziergeld nicht dringend für guten Geschmack bürgt. Aber das hat man ja schon beim McLaren Senna gesehen – kein einziger Kunde wollte bei diesem Renngerät auf die Klimaanlage verzichten…

Selbstverständlich gibt es hier auch eine Sammlung, denn eigentlich finden wir ihn ja grossartig:

Motoren-Nummer: –

Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, Arizona 2024, verkauft für 2’012^500 Dollar, mit diesen Informationen: «The Speedtail was only made available to customers pre-selected by McLaren, and this particular example—number 69—is in impeccable, as-new condition throughout, having been driven a mere 54 miles by the time of cataloguing. Remarkably, the interior retains some of the protective plastic and wrappings. As shown on its Carfax report, all servicing and inspections to date have been completed exclusively by authorized McLaren facilities in West Palm Beach Florida. Delivered new via McLaren—The Collection of Coral Gables in August 2020, as noted on its manufacturer statement of origin, the unique appeal of Speedtail number 69 comes through in its striking, bespoke color combination of Liquid Blue Silver paint over Rich Blue and Gray full aniline leather upholstery. The car’s accompanying sales order shows an original sticker price of £2.097 million (~$2.726 million), which included £347,750 (~$452,075) in bespoke optional equipment. (Currency conversions are approximate and calculated using a historical mid-market exchange rate from December 2019.) An impressive selection of polished Zircon trim, aluminum, titanium, and carbon-fiber flourishes augment the car’s unique appeal. Within its futuristic cabin, the sumptuous two-tone full aniline leather extends beyond the seats to the headliner, kick panels, and even the door sills, with bespoke stitching and quilting to elevate the presentation. Of particular mention among the array of exquisite trim is the Thin Ply Technology (TPT) carbon-fiber applied to the steering wheel and ceiling-mounted, switchgear console. This option alone, whose intricate marbled patterning creates a stunning jewel-like effect, added £50,000 (~$65,000) to the sticker price. The calipers were custom-specified in Liquid Blue Silver and are housed within 10-spoke Diamond Cut lightweight wheels. Concealing those at the front axle are distinctive, aerodynamic “speed covers” fashioned of 1,000-strand, exposed, gloss carbon fiber perfectly color-matched to the car’s ground effects, which subtly contrast with the rest of the beautiful bodywork. The car’s exterior badging is handsomely rendered in machined aluminum, as is most of its elegant brightwork. The exhaust, neatly integrated into the rear diffuser and nearly hidden from view, is finished in natural Titanium. This Speedtail is accompanied by a car cover, a chassis-numbered tool kit, wireless base charger, and a factory luggage case. Notably, it will be sold under a Manufacturer Statement of Origin and is eligible for road use in the United States under the “show or display” federal exemption».

Chassis-Nummer: 106

Verkauft über Tom Hartley Jr. (als Teil der Mansour-Ojjeh-Sammlung), mit diesen Angaben: «Each Speedtail was individually commissioned and tailor-built by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), however this example is the final Speedtail ever produced and it boasts a huge array of bespoke specifications. It features a one-off MSO commission of extraordinary depth and craftsmanship, combining cutting-edge materials with an obsessive attention to bespoke detail. The exterior is finished in ‘Mansour Orange‘ a custom MSO bespoke paint, gloss finished 1K weave visual carbon fibre (VCF) elements are extensively applied across the bodywork, including the contrast panels, engine cover, luggage bin, and tool kit cover – all crafted to reduce weight while delivering unmatched visual sophistication. Highlighting McLaren’s innovation in materials science, the front badge is rendered in carbon TPT (Thin Ply Technology) with a Platinum inlay, a weaving method that layers ultra-thin carbon plies at 45° angles to create a distinctive marbled effect, usually reserved for high-end horology. This rare TPT finish also features in select interior “jewellery” elements, elevating both tactility and exclusivity. Rear McLaren and model badges are executed in solid Platinum, while exterior brightwork is completed in a brushed and polished dual finish, further distinguishing this Speedtail’s silhouette. The calipers are specified in a bespoke MSO colour with machined logos, complemented by gloss painted 10-spoke lightweight wheels and centre-lock nuts and a natural Titanium exhaust finisher completes the exterior’s technical allure. Inside, the cabin is a study in elegance and restraint with a full aniline leather upholstery meticulously hand-stitched with bespoke detailing and quilted inserts, while the painted edge work and contrast stitching echo the exterior’s custom palette. The seating position is flanked by a centre-mounted carbon black Alcantara driver’s seat and carbon fibre passenger pods, delivering a distinctly asymmetric composition. Interior surfaces feature satin-finished 1K weave visual carbon fibre (VCF), contrasted by bespoke brightwork in Zircon and brushed dark orange tones. Sill plates are backlit and micro-perforated, while the dedication plate carries personalised wording, a subtle nod to the unique provenance of this particular Speedtail with final touches including the MSO branded throttle pedal and DNR bezel. It comes with its handbooks including the service/warranty supplement, spare key, HV charger, car cover and history file.»
