Looks pretty spectacular while looking as functional as the Senna managing to keep it looking pretty

Press reports say they were pre-sold before being built. Does UK have any rules that this thing breaks?As they say:

mclaren said:
... Sabre features “ideas and innovations that global homologation would not permit,” which is why it’s exclusive to the U.S.

Definitely won't be coming to UK, as it is non-compliant. Too many sharp edges for one thing.

Plus there is the huge issue that the 15 US buyers have paid for exclusivity. So it will never happen.

I'm really glad that McLaren have taken this direction - top end super expensive bespoke limited edition cars for the extremely wealthy.

As it means McLaren gets some profitable revenues, and they don't have to over-produce their more affordable cars, helping residuals. Good for everyone from the company, to dealers, to customers.

Agree, I would much rather see them doing a few ultra exclusive special commissions that churning out Elvas etc every year.

Thumbsnap AI - proof that computers have a sense of humour

(as it happens Thumbsnap customer service has recently been truly superb)

For me the Sabre has far too much going on but I guess its a personal thing. It's certainly interesting!!

Apparently the Triple F collection have the most expensive Speedtail, surprised I thought with all the work Manny's had his would be.



Tim dropped a video driving the Sabre
