Equipment
3,994/804hp twin-turbo V8, 7-speed automanual, purple calipers, Pirelli P Zero tires.
Condition
93 miles, $102K options and coated in color-shifting iridescent paint that accentuates the many curves and aerodynamic channels of the McLaren Elva. Obsessively lightened including titanium brake caliper pistons saving 2.2 pounds. Unused and like new.
Market commentary
MSRP started at $1,695,000 without all the options and paint, so this is result is a notable drop from new, although how many people want an open top, no windshield (despite the air diversions included in the Elva’s design) car is a challenge. It was offered at Mecum Monterey last year estimated at $2.6-2.75 million with 85 miles where it was optimistically reported as bid to $2.1 million without being sold. It came back to a low earth orbit here with this result, a car to own and drive proudly, but only in fair weather. At this result it is still in orbit somewhere above a realistic value.
