An overpowering McLaren

Under the hood, we find a V8 biturbo which, as the car’s name suggests, has 675 horsepower. The weight of the vehicle is 1,230 kg for the basic version and it takes 40 more for the Spider version sold by Sébastien Loeb. The driver acquired this exceptional car in 2019 and decided to part with it with only 8840 kilometers on the odometer.
