In the mesmerising world of supercars full of true uncertainties and unprecedented leaps, manufacturers need to come up with something special to steal the show. That is why McLaren had to come up with an extraordinary car so completely out of the carbon-fiber box that it shouldn’t be confused with other ones in the current McLaren lineup. The new awe-inspiring McLaren Elva is an 804-hp hat tip to the company’s open-cockpit racers that influenced the Can-Am series through the 1960s and played a huge role in establishing the brand as a winner. 

If you are someone who happens to be a fan of supercars and want to buy pre owned cars in UAE, there are some platforms like CarSwitch that can easily come to your rescue. Not only will these platforms help you to easily buy or sell a car but also make it easy for you to find its fair value through a car value calculator

As far as the nomenclature is concerned, the name Elva is a French word that means “she goes!” and the car is named after the lightweight initial open top race cars established by Bruce McLaren. Despite the fact that Elva gives us a glimpse of the past, it is a break from McLaren’s existing design pattern. The distinguishing feature is that the carbon-fiber skin expands like taffy around a revised tub from the Monocell II family that fosters the Sport Series cars (570S, 600LT, and 620R). 

Being judged by the vivid feedback through the steering, the vigorous throttle reaction, and the hard pedal and clutch of the brakes, the fascinating Elva experience is almost like that of any contemporary McLaren, but the familiarity soon fades away. The cabin opens out into the exterior, the curved door panel flooding color into the otherwise unadorned cockpit. The best thing about this effect is that it can make the whole experience look like something from the past and takes you back to the swoopy Pininfarina concept era of the 196os.

As far as the view ahead and around is concerned, it is utterly uninterrupted by any kind of wiper streaks, bug-smudged glass and also no A-pillars. With its small dashboard button and an exceptional McLaren’s Active Airflow Management System (AAMS) positions a 5.9-inch-high rectangular windblock right at the nose just above 40 mph while giving you an ultimate protection. McLaren terms this wind reduction a ‘bubble’ of calm” and the best part is that it does work while successfully keeping the driver’s head from being hit against the seatback at speed. 

The distinguishing thing about the Elva is that the speed isn’t merely a metric that is recorded on a speedometer. Instead, it is the buzzing sound passed through you as you opt to push the right pedal buried. It’s the tightening chin band as the air pressure overcomes to pull your helmet off your head. The driver can also opt to wheelslip and yaw to control via McLaren’s Variable Drift Control mechanism. 

The 305-section-width Pirelli P Zero Corsa rear opts to do a fair enough job of hooking up,  the Elva’s traction control will quash tire-smoking torque while conveniently flooring the accelerator utterly out of corners and not upsetting the tail whatsoever in the process. The driver can easily shift the handling to its aggressive Track setting that needs the windblocker to stay tucked away and the suspension will solidify greatly and lend more powerful bond to the tarmac below.McLaren reveals that Elva will hit 60 mph in the astonishing time of just 3.0 seconds and can easily beat the Senna to 124 mph, attaining the speed in just 6.8 clicks prior to reaching the scary speed of 203 mph. 

Apparently, McLaren Elva is more of a mobile art-piece rather than a car. Whether it is McLaren or any of your favorite supercars, buying it in Dubai can be a confusing option especially when you don’t know where and how I should opt to buy. At Carswitch, they got you covered with offering you a platform to sell or buy cars in Dubai and making it easy for you to accomplish the whole process hassle-free.
