The hybrid Speedtail from McLaren impresses with its futurism

This car may and may feel like a typical concept that will never hit the market, but no. The hybrid Speedtail from McLaren impresses with its futurism, but also terrifies with the price and number of copies that will go on sale in early 2020.

Speedtail is by far the best car from McLaren Road. This hybrid focused not only on high aerodynamics, but also performance, which translates into a maximum speed of 250 mph (402.25 km / h) and acceleration from zero to 300 km / h in just 12.8 seconds. Like the McLaren F1, Speedtail drivers sit in the center of the car, while passengers have to settle for slightly recessed left and right seats. High-resolution touchscreens complete the dashboard. On the other hand, there are controls for engine start, Active Dynamics and speed mode above the driver’s head.

The upper part of the front window is made of electrochromic glass, so it can be dimmed with a button. Conversely, the porthole, door top, and quarterly tail lights can be made opaque with the push of a button. In addition, McLaren has replaced the side mirrors with digital cameras that cause even less air resistance. They also provide a wider field of view on the screens placed in the dashboard. The whole thing is rounded off by a speed mode that optimizes the 10 HP hybrid engine, adjusting the angle of the active rear ailerons and even attracting the aforementioned side cameras. In addition, drivers can lower the car by 1.4 inches. The Speedtail costs approximately $ 2.25 million and will be produced with a circulation of 106.
