Sports News] According to reports from US media, the McLaren Elva car belonging
to Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso will be put up for auction
following the F1 Grand Prix this weekend. The car, which does not have a roof,
was specifically tailored for the two-time Formula One champion. The starting
bid for the car is set at $1.65 million, with an anticipated final auction
price of $3 million. Alonso, a well-known Spanish driver, rose to fame at a
young age. Not only is he a two-time F1 champion, but he also became the
youngest champion in history when he won his first championship in 2005 at the
age of 24. Despite retiring in 2019, Alonso has remained involved in racing and
holds a deep passion for Formula One. It is worth noting that the McLaren Elva
boasts top-notch specifications. Only 149 units of this model were produced
worldwide. With a top speed of 208 miles per hour, it is equipped with a
twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and can accelerate from 0-60 miles in
just 2.7 seconds. Even today, its performance remains exceptional, and true
fans are expected to bid high prices for this exclusive vehicle.
