Default P1 Sighting in Chicagoland

I work near Lake Forest Sports Cars (McLaren included in their brands).

I often see something amazing tooling around the area.

On the way home this evening I saw a cranberry with black inserts P1 being flat bedded near the dealership, so I would expect some happy customer is about to get one in Chicagoland.

I was not able to snap any pics and will try to stop in later this week to see if this bad boy is still there.

The car is pretty imposing looking in person and the color scheme was very adult looking (elegant and understated).

Doge, are you sure it was at Perillo's. The LFSC folks have a McLaren showroom downtown that they branded with the family name, Mancuso.

It's been sold an spotted many times on the road. The car has temp plates on it and the driver basically made it his daily lol, he takes it out in the rain. It's the maroon colored one right?

It wasn't at the dealership, just that part of river north.

What an incredible car. The Huayra is the only car I think I'd take over the P1 if I was in that kind of position.
