McLaren presented the 'crown crown' of its range – the McLaren Speedtail. It can reach 402 km/h, but almost 2 million euros will have to be paid for each one.
McLaren Speedtail it is unofficial successor McLaren F1 from the 90s of the last century. Speedtail's mission will be rivalry with Bugatti Chiron, which relies on its engine s for dominance 1,500 horsepower. While Bugatti relies on raw power, McLaren prefers to rely on aerodynamics, which enables similar results, but with less power required. At first glance, it looks like Volkswagen XL1, which is on steroids. The McLaren Speedtail has carbon body, designed in a way that helps to to the minimum air resistance. The shape of the car is aerodynamic enough in itself, but at McLaren they went one step further and improved it.
The front wheels are covered so that they can be covered directs the air to different openings. There are plenty of them on the car, all for the sake of achieving the lowest possible air resistance. Traditional side mirrors have been replaced cameras, which slide into the vehicle when they are not needed. If we choose a driving mode "Velocity", the cameras are 'put away', and the car further lowers its chassis by 35 mm. Movable ones also help him in this 'wings', which are built into the rear part of the body and are made of flexible carbon fibers.
The McLaren Speedtail has gasoline-hybrid engine, which provides him 1,035 horsepower. With this power, he can achieve 299 km/h in 12.8 seconds, which is for 2.7 seconds faster from McLaren P1, which has 903 horsepower. As with the McLaren F1, the driver won with the Speedtail central seat, after which they are still two seats for the passenger. You will find space for luggage in the nose and tail of the car, and you can buy one if you wish travel bags, made especially for the Speedtail. The interior of the latest McLaren is completely futuristic, and in it we find special glass, which can be darkened as desired and so on adjust the amount of light in the passenger cabin.
They will do 106 specimens McLaren Speedtail, and although individual costs 1,970,000 euros, they are all sold already. Lucky buyers will receive the first cars in 2020.
