If you can get your hands on one, you should.
The McLaren Elva is one of the most unique modern hypercars. Like its other hypercar peers, it’s incredibly powerful, innovative, lightweight, and of course, fast. It also shares with other hypercars daring styling with excellent craftsmanship, exclusive features, and finishes of the highest quality. However, even among the crowd of excellent hypercars, the McLaren Elva manages to stand out. That’s thanks to the fact that unlike most other modern hypercars, the McLaren Elva is roofless, and can be had even without a windshield.
The result of this is a hypercar experience like few others, with high performance that few other cars can offer, delivered with a raw and exhilarating driving feel that can’t be replicated. Inspired by classic open race cars, the Elva modernizes that ethos and takes its thrill to an entirely new level, making for a truly unforgettable experience. Here are just five of the reasons why this hypercar masterpiece should be in your garage.
1. Rare
The McLaren Elva is not just unique in the hypercar world, but also highly exclusive. McLaren only built 149 of these stunningly beautiful pieces of machinery, meaning its once-in-a-lifetime experience is not an easy one to get. What that also means is that if you can get your hands on one of the very few McLaren Elvas for sale, you’ll have a collector-grade masterpiece with investment appeal.
2. Roofless
Without a roof, and often without a windshield, either, the McLaren Elva belongs to a very exclusive group of cars, often described as “barchettas.” The body style, associated with vintage race cars, refers to a car with no roof and no windshield, dedicated purely to high performance and remarkable exhilaration with the wind in your face as you experience the McLaren Elva’s excellent performance both in straightaways and in corners.
3. High-Performance
The McLaren Elva is powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, and it’s capable of producing an immense 802 horsepower. Combine that fact with the fact that the McLaren Elva only weighs a scant 2,351 pounds, and you have quite the monstrous machine on your hands. The 0-60 time is under 2.8 seconds, and you can expect to reach a soaring top speed of 203 mph, which is quite the number considering there’s no roof, making it roofless and ruthless alike.
4. Heritage-Inspired
The roofless design of the McLaren Elva draws its inspiration from classic race cars, something the McLaren name is incredibly familiar with. 60 years ago in 1963, McLaren saw its origins on the track, not introducing road cars until the F1 in the 1990s. Many of the various McLaren Elva specs pay homage to these classic race cars, sharing liveries with race cars that won historic titles and forged McLaren’s celebrated legacy.
5. Bespoke Craftsmanship
Being a exclusive and highly limited edition hypercar, the McLaren Elva saw plenty of beautiful and unique configurations. If you own one, you’ll be glad to know that the McLaren Elva was made with the finest materials and finishes. You’ll find unique paint colors, exposed carbon fiber, and interiors with finishes like carbon fiber, leather, nubuck, Alcantara, and beautiful stitching.
