Rare McLaren supercar selling for £2million has had one careful owner just 56 miles on clock
A super rare McLaren supercar is set to sell for £2milliion and it has had one careful owner and only 56 miles on the clock.
The blue Speedtail model - one of only 106 made - can go a whopping 250mph.
It was built just over three years ago which means it has done an average of about 18 miles per year.
The flash motor boasts a 1,034bhp, 4.0 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine.
It is being sold by RM Sotheby’s at an auction on 25 January, in Phoenix, Arizona, US.
It can fit three people inside.
The McLaren is number 69 of those made and is described as being in “impeccable, as-new condition.”
A RM Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “In 2020, McLaren dramatically rekindled the spirit of its seminal F1 supercar with the launch of the futuristic Speedtail.
“An exclusive machine at the leading edge of 21st-century hypercar performance that, like its predecessor, was limited to only 106 units.
“As with the F1, the Speedtail is built around a lightweight carbon-fibre tub and features the same three-person seating configuration, with the driver in the centre, as well as vertical dihedral doors.
“The similarities are clear, but advances in technology over the past three decades abound.”
They added: “This is particularly true of the Speedtail’s exhilarating hybrid powertrain.
“The 723-horsepower 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 is a thoughtful evolution of the McLaren P1’s engine, featuring a revised piston design and enhanced cylinder-head cooling.
“The Speedtail’s electric motor and battery, meanwhile, were both developed by McLaren’s Formula E technology group.
“The motor smooths out power delivery at low engine speeds, providing an additional 312 horsepower for a total output of 1,035 horsepower, and a jaw-dropping top speed of 250mph.”
