Three people can fit in the futuristic F1 inspired car with the driver in the middle.

Car enthusiasts will want to know that this rare motor, which has been described as being in impeccable condition and “as new”, has a 1,034bhp, 4.0 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The exclusive car’s electric motor and battery were created by McLaren’s Formula E technology group and provide 312 horsepower, giving the total of 1,035 horsepower.

A RM Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “In 2020, McLaren dramatically rekindled the spirit of its seminal F1 supercar with the launch of the futuristic Speedtail. An exclusive machine at the leading edge of 21st-century hypercar performance that, like its predecessor, was limited to only 106 units.

The spokesman explained that the incredible machine, like a Formula One car, had a lightweight carbon-fibre tub as well as vertical dihedral doors. He said it was an evolution of the McLaren P1’s engine, with an upgraded piston design and cylinder-head cooling.
