  • What makes the McLaren Speedtail special? 3 of us jump in to find out. This Speedtail is the only example for sale in Europe and in my opinion, if you don't have one of these in your supercar collection....then you should. Here's why!

    A very unique and special car that’s hard to compare to most other cars. It’s aggressively pretty like an expensive yacht. Congrats on the opportunity and experience Paul

    The Intro was probably the best presentation of the Speedtail I've seen so far. It is really one of the most beautiful and most useless cars of our time. It is just art in my mind. For me the Pagani looks so vulgar against it.
    The spec is really tasteless though. I don't get how soemone thinks blue and red are going good together.
