"What's the maximum speed one can push to while tackling a roundabout?" Well, it all depends on various factors, but it's clear that the number is limited. And while the McLaren Speedtail that goes through a roundabout in the video that brought us here is not pushing things too hard, the hyper-GT certainly looks fast.
Of course, this is the effect of the Woking animal's styling and it seems that the shade of blue covering the machine serves it well.
Now, before any future owner gets upset about somebody else having received the Speedtail first, I have to point out that customer deliveries won't kick off until next year. So this is a manufacturer vehicle.
Then again, with the spotting having taken place in the proximity of the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, this doesn't come as a surprise. For instance, it's no secret that carmakets polish the final details of their machines even after the official unveiling has taken place, so the testing we have here is only normal - here's to hoping the British automotive producer has drawn its conclusions on the smoking Speedtail incident that took place last month.
At least judging by the social media reactions that have shown up to date, it seems that the Speedtail might've caused less of a stir than expected.
For one thing, we're talking about a spiritual successor to the iconic F1, hence the three-seater layout of the vehicle.
The gas-electric powertrain of the Speedtail allows the driver to control no less than 1,035 horses, thus being able to push the machine all the way to 250 mph (make that 402 km/h).
Adorning one's garage with such a Macca requires an investment of £1.75 ($2.2 / €1.9) million. Of course, this hasn't stopped collectors from grabbing the land-to-land missile, as all 106 units of the McLaren Speedtail have already been spoken for.
