I've been let loose in the McLaren Elva! It's a race against the rainstorms in Miami, with the 1-of-149 hypercar from Woking equipped with the rare windshield option. Let's check it out in detail including unseen features like the waterproof rain cover, and paint matched helmet. Let's go!
We've flown over to Miami to check this particular car out, where the owner has kindly allowed me to take the key and bring you along for a drive. While I've been spoiled to drive the Elva before; firstly from The Space DXB on the road, and also a factory car in anger at the Dubai Autodrome, I must confess those happened in such a blur that the experience hasn't felt very fresh in my memory.
This particular car is finished in Gotham Black with some amazing details and accents, including the number 5 that links to the number of Bruce McLaren's last winning car at Spa-Francorchamps. Tucked away under the rear decklid stores the matching helmets wearing the same livery, and also the temporary roof cover that will very much come into play today.
After a quick look around the car in Miami's Design District, we're then straight out for a run with plenty of cracks from the 4.0l TT V8 through the exhaust system, across the Causeway to South Beach. However, with the weather turning fast, we're darting to an underground garage to tuck away and keep dry.
A huge thanks to the owner of the car and the team who arranged the visit and opportunity to share this drive in the McLaren Elva!
