Das Erlebnis
Ohja, wir lieben den McLaren Elva. Sehr sogar. Er bescherte uns eines der besten Fahrerlebnisse aller Zeiten, wir hoffen, wir konnten das auch einigermassen in passende Worte fassen, hier nachzulesen. Es ist aber wohl so, dass wir da zu den ganz Wenigen gehören, die dieses Fahrzeug herrlich finden, zuerst musste McLaren die Produktion von geplanten 399 Stück auf noch 149 Exemplare kappen – und dann kam noch manch ein gutes Stück ganz schnell wieder in den Verkauf. Meist: ungefahren. Und wer dachte, eine gute Investition gemacht zu haben, der hat sich (bislang) auch geschnitten, der Neupreis wurde nur selten erreicht. Eine Sammlung ist das aber auf jeden Fall wert, auch mit Blick in die Zukunft, denn eben: grossartiges Automobil.

Welche Chassis-Nummer hat der hier?

Wir haben mehr Hypercars von McLaren:
McLaren Solus und Sabre. Gern erklären wir auch: Elva.


Wie immer stellt sich die Frage, bei 8km auf dem Tacho, oder Kilometerstand wie bei Auslieferung, warum fährt man nicht mit dem „Auto“? So schön zum anschauen über einen längeren Zeitraum sind sie ja nun auch nicht und die Spekulanten kamen irgendwie ja nicht zu ihrer Verdienstmarge!
Das ist ja immer wieder das Dilemma mit diesen Hypercars, sie werden in der Regel gekauft, mit dem Transporter angeliefert und dann nicht benutzt, vielleicht ab und zu mal mit einem Transporter zu einem Concours d’Elegance gebracht und vorgezeigt und dann wieder ab nach Hause.
Wieviel cooler ist da der ziemlich benutzte Ferrari F40, der hier in Berlin herumfährt, Steinschläge, angeschrammte Felgen, durchgewetzter Stoff an der linken Fahrersitzwange und über 70.000 km auf dem Tacho!
Oder der flixbusgrüne McLaren eines Ihnen, lieber Ulrich, ebenfalls bekannten Herrn, den er unlängst mit deutlich über 60.000 km verkaufte, weil er irgendwann alle Rennstrecken, die er damit fahren wollte, besucht hatte – wahrscheinlich wird das Auto nie wieder so artgerecht bewegt wie in den Jahren, in denen besagter Herr ihn fuhr…
Vielleicht liegt der Misserfolg an der mangelnden Sozia-Tauglichkeit, weil die Frisur der Damen leidet.
vielleicht könnte ein Aftermarket Plexiglas Aufsatz da Abhilfe schaffen.
gab es auch mit Scheibchen vom Hersteller. hat trotzdem nicht geholfen.
Die Leute wollen halt Elfer, nicht Elva.
