If you’re into automotive unicorns — cars that blend cutting-edge tech, jaw-dropping performance and serious rarity — the 2020 McLaren Speedtail up for grabs at RM Sotheby’s Miami auction is the kind of machine that checks those particular boxes. Chassis 036 of just 106 produced, this Speedtail is a direct nod to McLaren’s spiritual ancestor, the legendary F1, and wears that heritage proudly with a three-seat cockpit and central driving position.
Under the elongated carbon-fiber bodywork sits a hybrid powertrain that marries a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 with an electric motor to produce over 1,030 hp, good for a claimed 250 mph top speed and blistering acceleration that eclipses many supercars. What sets the 2020 McLaren Speedtail apart is not just straight-line pace but the engineering artistry behind it — think active aerodynamics, hidden camera mirrors and a teardrop shape designed to slice through air with minimal drag.
This particular example — largely unused with under 220 miles at cataloging — is offered with a striking bespoke finish and MSO options. It’s expected to fetch between $1.95 million and $2.35 million at auction, and offers a rare chance to own a true flagship of 21st-century performance motoring.
