A Trip to Long Island Sports Cars

Well I got bored of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , so I went to the local McLaren dealer. And I found this:

This is arguably the best photo I’ve ever taken, if I do say so myself!

Oh yeah, ANOTHER P1!!! White with orange accents!

Notice the “ !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ” graphic.

The orange accents really make a minimalistic interior look gorgeous.

Notice anything else of interest? It’s not the holy trinity without a LaFerrari, but it’s still a damn impressive lineup!

How about a 918 Weissach?

And a Bugatti Veyron! I know it’s stupidly long-in-the-tooth in 2015, but it’s my first Veyron, and it’s just awesome!

The Veyron is surprisingly difficult to photograph. Get the angle right and it looks stunning. Get it wrong and it looks bloated.

The picture makes it look gray, but the interior is actually a blue-gray to match the exterior. Honestly, I think it looks dated by 2015 standards, but it doesn’t look as old as 2005 (when the car was designed).

What a colossal amount of money stuffed into one photograph! nearly $3.5M!

No biggie. Just James Hunt’s 1973 McLaren M23. And get this: the current owner tracks it! For serious! Oh, and he also owns the silver P1. And he tracks that, too!

I literally didn’t notice that I’d been walking past a white 675LT. It’s scary to think that a limited production McLaren can seem so mundane when placed alongside a crowd of million-dollar hypercars.

And I also failed to notice the 570S. They’re not even on sale yet, nor have there been any reviews of them, and yet McLaren’s newest supercar was completely overshadowed.

Thank you Long Island Sports Cars! Terrific collection, terrific staff, and a terrific day!

I know the feeling! It was my first (and second?!?) time seeing a P1! If it wasn’t for my Car Spotter friend, I would never have known to check the dealership out!

The 570S is a very good looking thing.

It really is! I can’t wait to see how it compares to the 911 Turbo S. This particular 570S will be picked up by the owner sometime in December. I expect YouTube reviews will come out within the next two weeks.
