McLaren Speedtail Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The McLaren Speedtail is a limited-production hybrid hypercar, and it was sold through McLaren's retailer network in small numbers. Because it is not a car you can simply walk into a showroom and buy, the price a buyer pays today depends mostly on what other owners have asked and what auction houses have reported.

This guide separates the two numbers that matter: the original MSRP when the car was new, and the published prices for individual cars at auction. Each auction result describes one car on one date, so treat the figures as examples and not as a market price.

The 2020 Speedtail started at $2,100,000 when new, per Car and Driver. That is the base price before options, personalization, taxes, and delivery. Buyers of cars at this level commonly add personalization and special finishes, so the amount an original owner actually paid could be higher than the base figure. This guide does not have a figure for those extras.

Several Speedtails have sold at public auction. Each result below is for one car on a specific date.

The results run from $2,012,500 at RM Sotheby's Arizona in January 2024 to $3,300,000 for an ex-Michael Fux car at Mecum Kissimmee in January 2022. An earlier RM Sotheby's Arizona sale in January 2021 reported $3,277,500, and a 2020 car at RM Sotheby's Monterey in 2025 (lot 219) reached $2,205,000.

Sources for these results are RM Sotheby's, Old Cars Weekly, Carscoops, and Motoring Research.

A look at the list shows a wide spread: the 2021 and 2022 results are well above the original MSRP, while the 2024 result sits just under it. Several things may explain the gap:

• Timing. Results from different years reflect the market at those moments.
• Mileage and condition. Cars with very few miles tend to command more.
• History and ownership. A car with a well-known former owner, such as the ex-Michael Fux example, may attract extra interest.
• Specification. Original options and personalization differ from car to car.
• Fees. Auction reports vary in whether they include the buyer's premium, so one headline may be a hammer price and another a total.

Because of these differences, a single auction result should not be used as a price for another car. Compare cars with a similar mileage, specification, and sale date.

The sticker price is only the start of ownership costs. For a car like this, buyers should plan for:

• Sales tax and registration, which depend on the state.
• Insurance, which for a rare high-value car is usually arranged through a specialist insurer.
• Storage in a secure, climate-controlled space.
• Servicing at an authorized McLaren facility, since the car uses specialized parts and technicians.
• Shipping or transport if the car is bought from another region.

This guide does not have figures for these costs, so ask a dealer, an insurer, and a service center for quotes before committing.

Used examples change hands through several channels:

• Public auctions held by houses such as RM Sotheby's and Mecum, as seen above.
• Specialist dealers who handle high-end cars.
• Private sales, which may not be reported.

Whichever route you take, ask for the car's service history and documentation, and have a specialist inspect it before purchase. For a car of this value, an independent pre-purchase inspection is a standard step.

When you see a Speedtail for sale at a dealer or online, remember that a listing is an asking price. It can be above or below what the car eventually sells for. Use completed auction results as a reference, but remember that dealers factor in their own costs and the car's specific history.

Be careful with any listing that is far below the figures here. A very low price for a rare car is a warning sign, and buyers should verify the identity and the title of the car with McLaren or an independent specialist.

Looking at the original MSRP of $2,100,000 alongside the auction figures shows that buyers paid both more and less than the original price depending on the sale. This guide describes what happened at past sales. It does not predict future prices and does not give investment advice. If you are considering a purchase for financial reasons, speak with a qualified professional.
