The McLaren Elva is the latest contribution to the British supercar manufacturer's illustrious history. Even without a proper windshield (which isn't an option) or roof, the Elva's twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 produces 804 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. McLaren initially announced only 399 units, but eventually reduced that to an even more limited 249 units. In any case, most of you will never be able to get one because the Elva costs $1.7 million.

The McLaren Elva is a waste of money. It's a car with 804 horsepower but no windscreen, roof, or trunk. McLaren will charge each of the 149 buyers $1,690,000 for the opportunity of owning one, despite its impracticality.

It defies logic, which makes it a fantastic supercar. Supercars were never intended to be friendly and practical for everyday use. It detracts far too much from the allure. Look no further than the McLaren MP4-12C for proof. The first modern Big Mac is amazingly easy to live with, but it can destroy a Ferrari 458 Italia on a racetrack. But, if you had to choose, which one would you choose? That's right, we're in the same boat. The Ferrari is simply superior.

What is the reason for this? Isn't it true that the quickest supercar is the best? No, we don't believe so. There has been a lot of debate over what constitutes a peak sports vehicle and when we will attain it. We can't think of a single recent car, but there were a spate of them between 2005 and 2012, such as the Porsche 911 997.2 GT3 4.0. We'd give anything to have one of those in the garage, even if it wasn't quick by today's standards.

Manufacturers simply kept producing quicker cars in order to outrun one another to 60 mph and around the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Pantomime was pushed to the side, and we believe this is where everything went wrong.

The Elva isn't just an automobile; it's a work of art. You could stare at it for a whole day, soaking in all of the minute nuances. To begin with, the outside of the Elva appears to be made up of only three huge pieces of carbon fiber. Then there are the aggressive angles, vents, and intakes to consider.

Every design aspect is functional since this is a McLaren. The engine is positioned behind the back seats, therefore the enormous gaping vent on the hood has nothing to do with it. It's the windscreen that's causing the problem. A panel raises, creating a low-pressure zone over the cabin, generating a "bubble of serenity."

Finally, we admire the perfect integration of the exterior and interior. The door's edge does not stop to allow for an electric window that separates the inside and outside. Instead, it pours into the cabin, providing even more eye-catching design elements. When it comes to doors, they're dihedral things that open forward and upward considerably. A fixed windscreen is required in some states in the United States. As a result, McLaren went back to the drawing board and created a fixed windscreen, which was designed specifically for the American market.

The new McLaren Elva and the Senna have a 105.1-inch wheelbase, but that's about it in terms of common measurements. With 181.5 inches long, 76.5 inches broad, and 42.8 inches tall, it has a smaller overall footprint. The Elva's curb weight has yet to be announced by McLaren. This is unusual, given that the British manufacturer is normally willing to provide wet and dry numbers for its vehicles. We do know that it is lighter than the Senna, which, with all of its fluids and a full tank, weighs 2,897 pounds.

In the news statement, McLaren mentions "unlimited possibilities." This is due to McLaren Special Operations, often known as MSO, customizing this car specifically. Customers aren't limited by a color palette when it comes to this level of exclusivity. McLaren's MSO department will work closely with the customer after the order is placed and the deposit is paid to produce a car to their exact specifications. McLaren can gladly match the gemstones on your pimp goblet to your Elva. Two-tone exterior finishes such as white/bronze and black/white with red stripes have been seen on the Elva.

The same 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that powers the Senna and Senna GTR powers the Elva. It produces 804 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque in the Elva. The power output is significantly higher than that of the Senna, but the torque is identical. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission sends all of these enraged horsepower to the rear wheels.

This wonderful engine, which can be traced back to the MP4-12C, is approaching the end of its useful life. Given McLaren's recent non-hybrid debuts, we believe this is the maximum it can pull out of this engine without turning to hybrid assistance. Not to mention the brand-new 3.0 V6 hybrid engine, which will be unveiled soon. Even still, 804 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque is a lot, especially in a car that weighs around 700 pounds less than a BMW M2 CS.

The acceleration figures reflect the ridiculous power-to-weight ratio. It will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds, according to independent tests. It takes 6.7 seconds to reach 124 mph, and the Elva should be able to complete the quarter-mile in under ten seconds. Vin Diesel would be proud, but before driving this car, he'd need to apply some sunscreen on his cranium.

The McLaren twin-turbo V8 is a decade old, yet you'd never know it based on the performance figures it produces. In any case, a total of 804 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque is outstanding. It began life as a 3.8-liter in the MP4-12C, but for the 720, it was modified and bored out to 4.0 liters. The 3.8-liter engine is still used in McLaren's lesser supercars, such as the 600LT, 570S, and 620R.

The flat-plane crankshaft is retained, as it is on all other McLaren models, but lightweight camshafts, rods, and pistons are included. It complements the general lightweight motif while also improving performance.

A Launch Mode is included with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The gearbox, like the Senna, may be tamed using several driving modes, one of which is comfort. This may appear strange at first, but given the more supple suspension arrangement, it makes sense.

Although the Elva shares a motor with the Senna, it lacks the Senna's harsh suspension configuration. It isn't even as enraged as the 765LT. The 720S Spider is the model with which it shares the greatest similarities.

The Elva comes with adaptive dynamics as standard. Comfort, Sport, and Track are the three modes available. The electronic stability control has three levels as well. It goes from fully on, which prevents any sideways fun, to entirely off, which results in an unavoidable dramatic death. There is an option that allows you to let it wander sideways for a second or two, but the electronic nannies will always come to the rescue and bring it back into line. Purists may scoff, but we're not supporters of prodding 804 enraged horses with a stick. Track-oriented tires are available as a no-cost option, hinting at what this car is all about.

We said earlier that pantomime is a dying art form. A quick driving evaluation of the McLaren Elva demonstrates that this car brings it back in a big way. It's not so much the exhaust noise, which is barely audible over 40 mph, as it is the thought of being completely exposed to the elements. And when you mix that with the incredible speed, it's truly fantastic. There's no reason to push the Elva to its limits. It's thrilling from the time you step out the door. If you're lucky enough to get behind the wheel, 50% of the latent performance is more than enough to get you giggling on a test drive.

This car would have been nothing more than a sensory overload if McLaren had incorporated the complete hardcore Senna suspension. An enraged, hardcore roofless machine with no mercy. The Elva, on the other hand, is more forgiving. Make no mistake: it can be cruel. The Elva, unlike the other models in McLaren's Ultimate lineup, doesn't need to be pushed to its limits to be enjoyable.

The interior of the Elva could be the greatest McLaren has ever done. Unfortunately, while we admire McLaren interiors, they are, for the most part, uninspiring. You get the impression that the designers were so focused on the outside that they neglected to plan something similarly appealing on the interior.

There is no distinction between the outside and the interior of the Elva. They exist as an one thing, with the outside design extending to the interior. When seated behind the wheel, one cannot help but be taken aback. McLaren moved most of the primary controls to the movable instrument cluster because the Elva's interior will be exposed to the weather. This is the pinnacle of minimalism, yet there are a few flaws. For example, having no useable cupholders.

You can have whatever you want because this is an MSO product. The color you chose for the outside will carry through to the interior. The controls and layout are fantastic. The steering wheel, which is exactly that, is the most startling of all.

Because it lacks a single button, you can only use it for steering. The starter, drive, neutral, and reverse buttons are neatly organized in a row between the seats, and the driving mode selection has been moved up to the instrument cluster. The eight-inch infotainment system is still intact, but it is oriented toward the driver and set on a carbon fiber arm. McLaren uses four layers of protection and moisture-resistant materials due to the interior's distinctive exposed aspect.

Although the Elva lacks a trunk, it does offer storage room beneath the rear tonneau. The soft-close latches on this single piece of carbon fiber allow for helmet storage. McLaren provides a free helmet as well as a pair of weather-resistant sunglasses.

Apart from a single cupholder under the center armrest that is too small for any drink we know of, there is no inside storage space. You'll have to resort to the old squeeze between the thighs approach if you want to sip anything refreshing while driving the Elva. Coffee should be avoided at all costs.
