To go along with the lowly McLaren 650S Spider.

I've seen the 650S & he's in the videos from the record runs.

Christian recently said the Agera RS should be capable of 300mph with some tweaks. He said it's not a priority for them because there's a lot of things they can't control, but they'd be willing to let a driver attempt it. You should ask the owner if he's up for it.

Well, she doesn't work with them anymore, so doubtful I'll ever have a chance to chat with him again.

Also, IIRC, they hit the limiter on the our-run (slightly downhill with a light tailwind). So, would take some re-gearing.

That's as good as it's looked so far. The performance is apparently unreal, though; only 1 second on its street tires, behind a P1 GTR.
