WOW $250k just to change the tires with all the expenses. McLaren milks the **** out of their customers.

 

[Sinner]

Finally got around to watching this...

Hilarious, absurd, incredible, ridiculous.
I love it.

Seeing it in person vs in pics/vids is a whole different experience.

I saw this morning and my jaw literally dropped. I can't believe the owner didn't even start it up or take it around the block! I wonder if the engine has any problems with it or if the fluids were even changed.

I saw my first P1 in person a month or two ago and it was breathtaking.

Car is beautiful in person, looks like a spaceship when you get up close and personal.

The condition... incredible. For sure, MSO will take care of everything... restoring it to pretty much as-new. How much did the last F1 go for? $15mn or so? I can't even begin to imagine the price for this.

 

[Sinner]

Hmmm...

Such mixed reviews on the Senna.

People either love it, or think it's hideous....

 

[Sinner]

Yeah, that's fair. It's definitely... different.

I wanna see all the tech and design behind all of it. It looks the way it does cuz all the parts probably serve some aero-purpose.

 

[PRIME]

Yeah. It’s ugly

 

[yanky]

it's ugly in that color but in all carbon it doesn't look bad. Would want to see the tech behind it though like Sinner said.

 

[PRIME]

It’s not as ugly as I first initially felt.

It’s still isn’t the prettiest car on the lot, but it’s all functional. Wouldn’t want to see one on the street, but I definitely want to watch it go around a track

 

[Sinner]

Yeah, to say "McLaren doesn't know how to design a car" would be selling them way short. It obvs looks like that for a reason. We'll see!

The whole floor of the car is insane! And that mad rear diffuser as well!

This thing is gonna race at Le Mans, surely.

 

[yanky]

It's gonna be exciting for McLaren no doubt
