McLaren Automotive reveals the stunning McLaren Speedtail
29 Oct 2018|1,605 views
McLaren Automotive reveals the stunning, streamlined form and sensational specification of the McLaren Speedtail. The next chapter in McLaren's Ultimate Series, the Speedtail is the first Hyper-GT from the pioneering British company recognised for producing luxury sports cars and supercars that deliver extraordinary driving experiences.


The hybrid powertrain (1,035bhp) enables a relentless increase in vehicle speed regardless of engine rpm and the low weight of the Speedtail - only 1,430kg dry - hastens this ability. The straight-line acceleration of the Speedtail sets a new benchmark for a McLaren, with 0-300km/h achieved in just 12.8 seconds.
McLaren Automotive's previous Ultimate Series hybrid, the McLaren P1, could reach this speed in 16.5 seconds. A bespoke P-Zero tyre designed for the Speedtail's extreme speed has been developed with McLaren technology partner, Pirelli.
The teardrop-shaped cockpit and aerodynamically optimised body are the foundation for the exceptional aerodynamic drag efficiency, with innovative features such as carbon fibre front wheel static aero covers, retractable digital rear view cameras (in lieu of mirrors) and patented active rear ailerons furthering contributing to the ultra-low drag achieved.
