Is The 1,000+ Horsepower ‘Albert' The Best McLaren Ever? - gallery

McLaren has unveiled a new car called Albert, based on the Speedtail. These shades of grey are actually reminiscent of McLaren's rich racing legacy, and were found on the original Mclaren F1 & F1 GTR.

Commissioned by a McLaren dealer in California, it marks the end of the line for the Speedtail of which McLaren has built 106 examples.

But, who exactly is Albert? Well, the 'Albert' name is close to McLaren. It was the name of the street where the McLaren F1 was conceived back in 1992.

Fast forward to 2018 and the Albert name was used yet again.

This time, on a prototype of a McLaren Speedtail.

The Albert prototype was, in-fact, made to gauge the center seating position.

As well as other ergonomic concerns like the position of the pedal box.

The biggest draw of this Albert, though, has to be the car's paint. It took nearly 12 weeks to complete and create this custom Speedtail.

Here's a closer look at the exposed carbon.

The Albert will be unveiled on August 8 at Cars & Coffee in Beverly Hills. Swipe up to read more about the Mclaren Albert.
