McLaren Albert Speedtail with 1,035 hp

At the car event, Sunset Plaza in Los Angeles, McLaren will unveil its new supercar. It is a McLaren Albert Speedtail model with 1,035 hp and a top speed of 250 mph.

The exterior of the car is the work of McLaren Special Operations (MSO). Their workers spent 12 weeks applying the paint from a dark shade at the front to a light shade at the back. The car was ordered by a McLaren dealer from Beverly Hills who said:

“As one of the very last Speedtails to be built at the McLaren Production Center, it was very important to us at McLaren Beverly Hills that Albert honors the brand’s rich heritage, particularly paying tribute to the icon that is the McLaren F1.”

The car is named after the McLaren F1 test mule, named after Albert Drive in England. MSO managing director Ansar Ali said:

“The name Albert has a special resonance with MSO, as we’re the custodians of the McLaren F1 and are based at the Albert Drive premises that McLaren Cars occupied in the 1990s.”

The McLaren Albert Speedtail is one of the few three-seater supercars. It is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 1,035 hp (722 kW).

The public presentation of the Albert Speedtail will take place on August 8th.
