Anyone with enough cash to buy a supercar like McLaren's forthcoming Artura hybrid, slated to roll out this fall, can pretty much drop their loot on the showroom floor and drive out with the thing. For almost everyone else—OK, maybe a just few others—McLaren Americas has a series of options that might work for them. On Monday, the company announced the inking of a deal with Chase Auto that will allow prospective U.S. customers a series of "bespoke" retailing and leasing options that will enable them to get behind the wheel of a McLaren.
Also Available Are McLaren 720S Coupes and Spiders
Those semi-well-heeled folks aren't just restricted to the Artura, boasting a combined 670 horsepower from its V12 engine and electric motors. Also available will be the latest version of the McLaren GT, already recognized as the ultimate commuter supercar that can hit 60 mph from a standing start in just over three seconds.
And for those hankering for something a lot closer to what the F1 big boys ride, they can work out a deal to bet into a 720S coupe, which generates about 710 horsepower, thanks to a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 monster. Or they can order a 720S Spider, which delivers the same bang as the Coupe, but with a retractable roof to show off to the envious rubbernecks lost in the dust.
GTs As Low As $200,000
Granted, some of what's offered is pricey, with the GT going for a cool $200,000. That's where the financing comes in. According to the hype sheet, McLaren apparently hunkered down with Chase Auto for several months before solidifying the options. The plan also includes a plan aimed at roughly a third of its customer base, which involves a leasing option that can lead to total ownership of a McLaren.
“We are excited to be able to provide both current and new owners with tailored and customer-centric leasing and financing solutions,” says Tony Joseph, the president of McLaren Americas. “This new relationship with Chase Auto will allow even greater options for customers looking to experience the thrill of driving a new McLaren.”
Competitive Financing Options
The company added that many clients in that customer group would be owning a McLaren for the first time ever, allowing the automaker to expand its base. It also added that the options being offered would be "very competitive."
