The Speedtail is the fastest McLaren ever built

If you’re a petrolhead, there’s a solid chance you’ve got a taste for expensive things that move fast. Assuming we’re right (of course we are) you’ll want to drop what your doing and have a gander at the new McLaren Speedtail. Described by the firm as a “momentous unity of art, technology, and velocity,” the slick Hyper-GT is the fastest McLaren ever built with a top speed of 250mph (403km/h). Its stunning teardrop-shaped cockpit and dramatically elongated, aerodynamically optimised, 5.2m carbon fibre body are all key in making it the most aero-drag efficient McLaren road car in history, while on the inside a bespoke, centralised, endlessly customisable interior design promises to realise a new level of luxury. Only 106 of these beauties are being manufactured, and every single one has already been reserved, but at £1.75 million plus taxes it was always going to be a bit on the pricey side.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
