Yes but $300,000.

I read it was even more in EVO.

Silly money, Mclaren money :drool:

Id take the polestar over a Maclaren. Get it resprayed in steel grey so it blends in... epic stealth wagon!

Bollocks, I guarantee that if I presented you with a Mclaren MP4-12C and a 'Volvo' key and you could only have one.............................. :popcornsoda:

No it sounds like a rip off where you are paying for development costs. You can get genuine 500bhp for much less than £100k these days... why would you pay the extra £200k... and for a volvo at that??  :stupid:

Give me £300k and I will  supply you with a 500bhp volvo for free  :pomppomp:
