McLaren for less than 2 million

How far are you from a McLaren? Maybe you don’t know that this brand exists in the world, but you just think it looks a bit like Ferrari. Maybe it's as close as you can get to F1 on pay TV, or maybe you can spend more than $10 million to buy the speedtail from players around the world! I am really lucky to see this, because I can tell you with certainty that the order of magnitude away from owning a pure McLaren is: RMB 1.988 million. Yes! A McLaren that has crossed the 2 million threshold and broken the price bottom line of the "ox-horse wheel" troika!

Unlike many other friends of the same age, it is McLaren, which is also transliterated as McLaren. It is even one of the first car brands I knew after being enlightened in the car world by F1. Looking at the entire history of F1, apart from Ferrari's bright red, McLaren is the next eternal element. Prost and Senna’s gentleman’s agreement at the first corner (whoever leads the other after the first corner will escort the other), the famous Marlboro cigarette livery, and the first time I heard Honda’s credo of buying an engine and getting a car free. . However, coming back from the world of car fans, what I want to tell you is: McLaren, which has been prominent for half a century, has devoted its efforts to using the GT model to let more people get in touch with and fall in love with this brand.

In China, the surrounding people’s understanding of cars always has this or that innate preset position, which actually does not match the weak level of car awareness and cultural history. If you talk about the design of a British car, or McLaren, you can write a book, and talk about gossip for three days and three nights. But maybe because it doesn’t come from Germany, everyone’s aesthetic appreciation of its quality has been lowered by three or four dimensions. But it doesn’t matter, people who know and love McLaren and, to a lesser extent, British cars, know that. Some people always call the things that are easiest for them to recognize as "truth", but truly beautiful things always only require being yourself. GT, yes it's the cheapest McLaren, but doesn't it look like a McLaren? On the other hand, how many ties are there between SLS and AMG GT three generations of CLS? It's just another fast-selling product for the Germans like KIA.

The first time I drove the McLaren model, it has been updated to the 720s. The full alcantara stitching and carbon fiber decoration do not look like creatures that can be easily touched every day. Just like when you travel to Japan, you will occasionally miss the culture of custom shops, but you will not be willing to take someone home to live with you. However, unlike the 600lt of the sports series and the 720s of the super series, the GT of the new category is much kinder. The large area of ??leather is already like a touchable ol, and the electric steering wheel and electric tailgate are also equipped like a married woman. Although it is destined to be only a plaything for a few people, it has already given you hope of pursuing it, right?

I was actually quite surprised that the m840te derived from the 720s was installed on the GT. It was calibrated to 456kw/630nm on the GT model. Although it has shrunk to varying degrees compared to the 720s, it is still the same overall. McLaren's hardware-based standards are maintained. The gearbox is a 7-speed SSG seamless shift gearbox. Although it is nominally "seamless", everyone's expectations for this type of model are not very smooth. In fact, the most famous thing about McLaren or all British cars is not the hardware such as engine and gearbox. The most interesting soul is always their pursuit of chassis and aerodynamics. This is why Senna's combat capability far exceeds its German and Italian rivals with more terrifying horsepower, and it is increasingly looking forward to close contact with GT on the streets and on the track.

Let’s talk about a topic that “Niu Ma Lun” has never touched before: cost-effectiveness. What can 1.988 million buy now? It may not even be enough to pay for a new house in Beijing, or it may even be enough to buy the latest "electric car" from Porsche, or it may not be enough to support watching a year of F1 events live.

But now you can really drive away a McLaren at this price, Jesus! That is a McLaren. Although he is far away from life, he still expressed his heartfelt sigh in the circle of friends when he learned the news as soon as possible.
