British carmaker McLaren has come out with its fastest model yet—the 250 mph Speedtail. It can go from zero to 186 mph in 12.8 seconds. A hybrid powertrain sits within a lightweight carbon-fiber body whose design is reminiscent of sleek streamliners that once set world speed records, says CEO Mike Flewitt. Only 106 of the $2.24 million models will be produced and all have been reserved. mclaren.com
