Apparently the Triple F collection have the most expensive Sabre, surprised I thought with all the work Manny's had his would be.


I've never seen anyone so excited about a "special tool" before (or allen key to you and me). Love the spec and colour of that particular car however, really nice.

McLaren are making some unbelievably special cars these days but by christ, very few of them are lookers.

For goodness sake - on a no-expense supercar, with a good idea to make the charger socket accessible, why could they not produce a sensible cover for it. Many cars have a push to open, push to close fuel cap, so the mechanisms are not exactly in short supply.....

He said "specific tool" not "special tool"

The green callipers don't work for me, I think this Amazon Colour Stream one of those colours that doesn't photograph well but looks stunning in person.

I dont care how fast it is, how rare it is, how anything it is. That looks utterly horrific. Senna was "challenging" to look at but was clearly functional. The sabre could lap the world in 4 seconds and it not make the beauty trade off worth it

I saw the Sabre somewhere described as a supercar that had crashed into a car-bed and after I'd read it, that's all I can see now. It just looks like you should be able to drive the inner car out, leaving the horrific aero-kit behind like a molting crab.

But then all Macs since the Frank Stephenson 12C/650 have been a bit too rococo, tbh.
