McLaren has unveiled the one and only ‘Albert’ Speedtail, a bespoke commission by North American McLaren retailer, McLaren Beverly Hills. The Albert is one of the last Speedtails to be made (only 106 will be produced), and pays homage to the 1992 McLaren F1 test mules which were called Albert.
One of the earliest Speedtail prototypes was also fittingly named Albert, developed to validate the concept of its central seat driving position, testing driver ergonomics and visibility, as well as rear-view camera positions. The Albert prototype was also the first Speedtail to be driven on public roads, and it was built using the front panels from a 720S.
