Registered in Dubai • Wild and unconventional, the Elva is the fifth car in McLaren’s Ultimate Series • The low, pointed, shark-like nose, curvaceous lines, muscular rear haunches and low rear deck are reminiscent of the sixties McLaren M1B and M1C • With no windscreen or roof, occupants are protected by an innovative Active Air Management System • Powered by an amazing twin-turbocharged, 815bhp, 4.0-litre V-8, the Elva is the most powerful non-hybrid McLaren ever • Performance is beyond extraordinary; 0-100km/h (62mph) takes under three seconds, while the 0-200km/h time (0-124mph) is even quicker than the Senna at just 6.7 seconds • This stunning example dates from 2021 and has covered a total of 8km. • Finished in Silver, Silver Grey and Carbon with the number 4 in white roundels • A wonderful blend of ‘Sixties Racer’ styling, state-of- the-art engineering and simple eccentricity The original McLaren M1A was a superlight sports racing car of the 1960s, but when demand for customer cars grew too much for Bruce McLaren’s seven-strong team, he entered into partnership with Elva Cars Ltd. The McLaren- Elva M1B and M1C came from this tie-in, and it’s clear to see the inspiration they provide for the 2020 Elva, from the low, pointed, shark-like nose to its curvaceous lines, muscular rear haunches and low rear deck. Chief talking point is the absence of any windscreen or side windows; instead, McLaren’s engineering and design teams have devised an innovative Active Air Management System (AAMS) that shelters occupants by manipulating air flow to leave them in a bubble of calm air as speed increases. The Elva is the lightest road car in the McLaren line-up, thanks to its simplicity of design and the bespoke carbon fibre chassis and body. Officially, it’s the fifth car in McLaren’s Ultimate Series, following on from the OG F1 back in 1994 and has the fabulous P1, physics-altering Senna and stretched Speedtail in its family tree. Initially, McLaren was going to build 399, then it was to be only 249 units but realistically it appears that only 149 of these remarkable little ‘Speedsters’ will be released. The Elva is powered by an 815hp version of McLaren’s 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8. Performance is beyond extraordinary; 0-100km/h (62mph) takes under three 2021 McLaren Elva LOT 203 More Details Lot 203 Bid On Lot 203 Estimate: $1,700,000 - $1,900,000
