One to Buy: Rootbear Brown 2020 McLaren Speedtail
There seems little doubt that the McLaren Speedtail has come as close to the ethos of the original McLaren F1 as any modern era supercar.
Constructed in a limited run of 106 units (as per its spiritual predecessor), the Speedtail was built around a state-of-the-art three-person carbonfibre monocoque in to which was dropped a twin turbocharged 1040bhp hybrid V8.
This Speedtail (chassis 042) was the very last to roll off the production line and was completed to a unique specification at the request of its first owner, Bruce Canepa.
Configured in the one-off colour combination of Canepa Rootbeer Brown pearl over an Italian Nubuck Tobacco leather interior, it is offered in as new condition having covered just 421 miles.
With such a handsome and unusual colour scheme plus its status as the final example completed, chassis 042 would make a fitting centre piece to almost any high end collection.
The car is currently on offer at the Canepa showroom in Scotts Valley, California.
Reprinted below is Canepa’s description for this sensational modern classic:
This specific Speedtail was the very last to be completed and delivered. It is a custom/bespoke order that Bruce Canepa designed in conjunction with McLaren, a true 1 of 1.
The Exterior color was a custom formula developed in our shops then sent to McLaren in Woking to be duplicated during the paint process for the car. To complement the exterior, the interior features all custom Italian Nubuck leather.
All exterior carbon accent trim including the spoiler, headlight surrounds, air intake openings, cowl, roof structure, side skirts, rear fascia, undertrays, etc. were all done in small weave carbon. The small weave carbon was introduced midway through Speedtail production and installed on very few Speedtails given the added expense making it even rarer.
As a final touch, the wheels were finished in our stunning Magnesium Graphite coating. With a very extensive list of custom options, this Speedtail is like no other. This is the homologation of Bruce Canepa’s taste and imagination, The Final Speedtail.
