  • This is an extremely rare McLaren Elva, one of only 149 ever produced and the only one ever seen in this particular white and red color scheme.
  • It has a powerful 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 engine good for 804 horsepower.
  • With only 7 miles on the odometer, this Elva is brand new and is expected to fetch a high price at auction.

Few brands succeed in producing limited-edition models like McLaren, and among the series of special editions introduced over the years, the Elva stands out as one of the most desirable.

Only 149 examples of the Elva were produced. Like other models from McLaren’s Ultimate Series range, customers were given unlimited options to customize their cars from the factory. This uniquely specified Elva is the only one of its kind we’ve seen, and will soon be auctioned off by SBX Cars.

What makes this Elva look different from many others? For starters, it’s painted in a gloss white shade that covers most of the exterior, including the vents on the hood and even the wheels. Contrasting the white color are red accents on the sides and on the rear fascia, including the complex diffuser.

Additionally, you’ll find plenty of exposed carbon fiber found on the supercar’s body. The exterior looks so good that another car owner might be afraid to drive it for fear of damaging the paint.

There’s a lot to like about this Elva’s interior as well. The seats are upholstered in red leather, with white piping and contrasting stitching for a dynamic touch. Reflecting its raw, driver-focused nature, the rest of the cabin maintains a minimalist aesthetic, highlighted by plenty of carbon fiber accents and a white dashboard that complements the exterior.

At the heart of the Elva is a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque, enabling this speedster to tip the scales at 2,641 pounds (1,198 kg). Powering it is a 4.0-liter turbocharged engine, producing 804 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque, which drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

McLaren claims that the Elva can sprint from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in less than three seconds and from zero to 124 mph (200 km/h) in just 6.7 seconds, meaning it’s faster than the track-oriented Senna. Not too shabby.

The listing shows that this Elva has only been driven 7 miles (11.2 km), arguably making it one of the lowest mileage units in the world. It is located in Riedering, Germany, but we think it can be easily shipped elsewhere.

When new, the Elva set buyers back a minimum of $1.69 million. A few have entered the used car market in the past few years, but most have not been sold at public auctions. The most recent auction sale of Elva took place in November of last year, and it fetched $1.51 million.
