An immaculate three-seater supercar with a top speed of 250mph has gone on sale for £1.45m.

The 2020 McLaren Speedtail has only got 71 miles on the clock.

It is one of just 106 of the plush motors made and has a violet colour finish and tan full leather interior.

It also has an optional £81,500 roof scoop fitted to enhance air flow.

The Speedtail has a three-person seating configuration with the driver in the centre, as well as vertical dihedral doors.

Its V8 engine produces 1,035 bhp and can propel it to a jaw-dropping top speed of 250mph, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Its listing states: “The Speedtail was only made available to customers pre-selected by McLaren, and this particular example – number 85 – is in impeccable, as-new condition throughout, having been driven a mere 71 miles at the time of cataloguing.

“All servicing and inspections to date have – as one should expect – been completed exclusively by authorized McLaren facilities in Scottsdale, Arizona and Newport Beach, California.

“Speedtail number 85 has been especially specified by the manufacturer with a bespoke color combination and an astounding suite of factory options and bespoke finishes from the company’s vaunted McLaren Special Operations (MSO) division.”

The car’s striking, bespoke colour combination of MSO Fresno Valentina Violet contrasts beautifully against its Vintage Tan full aniline leather upholstery with matching stitching.

And its accompanying sales order shows an original sticker price of £1.937 million – which includes nearly £180,000 of exclusive extras.

The listing adds: “What is not included in number 85’s original list price is the £81,500 optional MSO roof scoop executed in gloss black visual carbon fibre.

“This piece was ordered and installed by the McLaren Scottsdale after the car’s initial delivery.

“The original delivery flat roof also accompanies the car today.

“Rather amazingly, Speedtail 85’s tastefully appointed upholstery and trim interior options alone accounted for more than £91,000 of the car’s final purchase price.”

The vehicle is being auctioned by RM Sotheby’s in August in Monterey, north of Los Angeles, California, US.
