McLaren Speedtail: An Angel In The Outfield
The McLaren Speedtail was recently revealed to future owners at a private event in London.
The Speedtail is the first of 18 new cars under the company’s Track25 business plan.
It’s the fastest McLaren in history, capable of 250 mph. Â

The McLaren Speedtail is the direct successor to the McLaren P1 and the spiritual successor to the stunning F1.

The Speedtail lines up against rides like the Porsche 918, the La Ferrari, and, to a lesser extent, boutique cars like Paganis and Koenigseggs. The specs nudge it just to the top of that list, which will hopefully spur Porsche and Ferrari to even further heights when they respond. Before we dive into those specs, let’s get the horrible, bad news out of the way first: You’re too poor and too late.
