McLaren"s next fastest car has a name. The car so far only known as BP23 (Bespoke Project 2, 3-seater) will be called the McLaren Speedtail. Evocative name, isn"t it? Rather 1930s classic streamliner-sounding, we think. And interestingly for McLaren, it"s not an alphanumeric number-jumble (like 675LT, P1, 720S) and doesn"t reference a great racing driver, like the Senna. The Speedtail will be capable of a higher top speed than the McLaren F1"s 243mph, thanks in part to slippery, long-tail bodywork referenced in the name, in the ghostly teaser image above, and this sculpture made available to all 106 buyers. Every single build slot for the 1.6m-plus-tax special was snapped up before the car was officially announced earlier this year.
