399 examples (but it’s a McLaren so who knows) - £1.425m.

Christ didn’t know that was the price. I hope for their sake they have 400 customers at that level!

I did the same and started a 765LT thread here before, as the 765LT pistonheads thread just like the current pistinheads Elva thread, was jumped on by non McLaren fans and turned into the usual McLaren slagfest, so it would be handy to get 'other' thoughts and opinions in this forum and keep this going.

IMO - they’ll all be £2m+ once specced and 400 units is too many to make it ‘that’ exclusive. I love McLaren but I think they really need to be careful how they treat their customers - almost every ‘special’ car with limited numbers has then had another version launched, even the Senna ended up with 75 GTR’s being made.

As for this car itself I love the rear view, side view is so so and front view is a no. I’m sure it’s hyper fast but I don’t see the market it’s aiming for on the back of the P1 and Senna.
