I just saw a McLaren 720S.   New, it was well over $300,000.00.   This was used for a tad less. It had a fully adjustable electric driver’s seat. But, the passenger seat was 4 way manual.  Really?  Was this an effort to save money?!!   I feel I need a homestead vehicle that will go over 200 mph,  but it really should have a passenger seat that is more adjustable than a Chevy Trax.

I’m sure they passed it off as weight savings. Heck, the passenger seat might be OPTIONAL.  The Dodge Hellcat had configurations where the back and (I think) passenger seat were optional.
