Well, for that logic...

The Reventón was just a rebodied Murcielago, so it's even more overpriced. The SRL Stirling Moss is just a SLR McLaren without roof and a different body, so it's more overpriced compared with the P1. Overpriced compared with the actual rivals, yes, but compared with some examples of the past is not too much.

Got that right. Totally agree. More money than brain segment. But if I had that kind of dough I'd probably do the same thing. Though not the reventon or sterling, but the SESTO hell yea!

I'd say you are mostly wrong - but everyone is entitled to an opinion, to share that opinion and to have people judge them by the opinions they espouse.

McLaren could have started with the P1 and then done a trickle down effect with their other models but needed more volume with their first new product in order to make the establishment of their brand, their factory and their worldwide dealership network more viable.

We agree to disagree and that's fine. Your exactly right about Woking needing capital in the beginning. Just wished they could have done more with the P1 like they did with the F1. that would probably cost $2.5million per car now to build. Take that back CAN'T be achieved now with all the BS regulations.

Agree with the price of the Sesto. It is an amazing technological display just in a single car. Incredible, just incredible. Develop that for only 20 units... Incredible.

Just look:

Just look:

999kg and 1-100km/h in 2.5s pretty much saids it all. SESTO is what the P1 and LaFerrari should have been. Oh well, guess we are stuck with hybrid hypercars for now. It's actually a good thing I can't afford one ;0)

Wake up - you are dreaming.

Gordon Murray couldn't even hit the 1,000kg target in 1993 despite having nearly a blank check for the F1's development and that as his target weight. The F1 came in at 1,140kg despite his best efforts and all cars have only gotten heavier since then with all the added safety requirements as the main culprit.
