This 24-year-old American man decided a whole collection of supercars wasn’t enough for him, and he needed to add a very exclusive $3M McLaren Speedtail to it, but ended up leaving with something completely different.
The McLaren Speedtail is a rare beast that incorporates advanced materials like Thin-Ply Technology Carbon Fiber and titanium-infused carbon fiber.
After looking at the car, he appreciates the futuristic and roller-coaster-like feel of driving in it, but his head is turned by a different supercar.
Suddenly, the YouTuber had a thought that two supercars from the same brand in his collection could be more of a flex than a brand new McLaren – and dropped $2 million extra.

His car collection doesn’t feel complete
This YouTuber has one of the most impressive supercar collections we’ve ever seen, and he’s only 24 years old.
His supercar collection includes cars from Bugatti, Porsche, McLaren, Rolls-Royce, and even more. But he had the feeling that his collection wasn’t quite complete.
After a bit of thinking, the content creator fxalexg decided that he wanted to add a $3M McLaren Speedtail to his collection. So he went to go and see one and check out how it drove.
When he got the chance to see the light blue supercar, he was impressed by its unique design and the lack of mirrors, instead using hi-tech cameras.
The McLaren Speedtail is incredibly rare, being number 69 of only 106 ever made. But, after some deliberation, he decided against it.
What could be better than a $3M McLaren Speedtail?
After the shocking revelation that the YouTuber wasn’t interested in the Speedtail, he decided he was deliberating between the McLaren or a second Bugatti Chiron, as he already has a Bugatti Chiron Pure Sport.
He thought it was more of a flex to have two Bugattis than a single $3M McLaren Speedtail.
In fact, he once took his Bugatti Chiron with him on a trip to Dunkin’ Donuts. It was to remind himself how far he’d come from working at a Dunkin’ Donuts to owning an amazing supercar collection at the age of 24.
Which, all told, is a pretty impressive feat.
