Why Collectors are Dumping their Mclaren W1 and Ferrari F80 Allocations

Описание: The W1 is amongst the most exclusive cars McLaren has ever made with just 3 hundred and 99 units slated for production, but according to a few dealers and collectors, many of mclarens customers who were awarded allocations for the W1, are trying to dump those allocations. 
And a recent video from youtuber Mark Mccann shows just how easy it is for someone to obtain an allocation slot for the new mclaren.
and listen to this: So Mark askes the broker If he could get him a build slot for a mclaren W1 that same day and he says easily with a few phone calls, 100 percent. 
And there's a similar story with the Ferrari F80, which according to the supercar blog, 20% of the 7 hundred and 99 allocation slots are still available, 
So if the F80 and W1 are two of the most exclusive cars Ferrari and Mclaren have ever made, why is the demand for them so low? Now the thumbnail for this video was meant to be provocative and yes there are people who are legitimately excited to receive their F80s and W1s, but this is the first time we're seeing so many customers who were awarded allocations for such exclusive cars wanting to get rid of those allocations, so what's going on?
When The mclaren P1 debuted back in 2012 it was a sensational, exciting, groundbreaking and beautiful vehicle, but over the last 13 years automotive manufactures have been churning out an endless stream of hypercar after hypercar after hypercar after hypercar and they all offer the same cookie cutter performance and over the top styling, and people have just grown tired of the whole trend. It's like back in the 90s when every product was advertised as being over the top and extreme. Sure it got people's attention at first, but there's only so many times you can listen to advertisers screaming in your face about how extreme their products are before you just tune it all out.
And that's what's happening to the automotive industry, companies have been coming out with so many "extreme" hypercars that have completely abondoned everything that made people fall in love with cars in the first place, and theres just there's nothing exciting about it anymore, and the F80 and W1 are simply the automotive versions of a 1990s mountain dew commercial. 
Extreme! Totally extreme! To the MAX!
Another reason for the lack of interest in the W1 is that it didn't live up to the expectations that Mclaren set. When it was first announced, the W1 was described by mclaren as a modern day F1 and the successor to the P1, but those just ended up being marketing statements, because in reality the W1 is neither of those things.
The F1 is a pinnacle of automotive design. it's radical and brutal, and cutting edge, but at the same time tasteful and simple and beautiful, and even though it's 30 years old, it's still all of those things. 
The W1 is not a modern day F1, the W1 is merely a symptom of why people are happily paying 20 million dollars for the F1
And as far as mclaren's claim about the W1 being a successor to the P1, when the P1 first debuted it was a huge jump forward in performance and technology, and in my opinion was the best looking member of the holy trinity, and this is coming from a porsche person. And even though the P1 is now 12 years old, it essentially offers the same performance as the W1.
And at just one tenth of a second faster to 62 miles per hour, 1 second faster to 1 hundred and 24 miles per hour and a slower top speed, the W1 is not exactly a huge leap forward from the P1, it's really more of a p1.2 - but a lot uglier.
And the lack of interest in the F80 is easy to understand, it's an ugly hybrid with a quiet engine that's priced at 4 million dollars. Now Ferrari most likely gave it this price because they saw the SP-3 Daytona was selling for 4 million dollars on the second hand market, but the SP-3 Daytona is a ferrari enthusiasts dream, it's got a mid mounted naturally aspirated v-12, it's rear wheel drive, there's no hybrid system and the design language tastefully encapsulates the last 60 years of Ferraris racing heritage - simply put, it's one of the most desirable cars made in the last 10 years.  
Now there is the argument that the F80 and W1 are worth owning because they're going to skyrocket in value, but that is most likely wishful thinking. If you look at the values of the P1, which mclaren only made 3 hundred and 75 of, and is arguably much better looking than the W1, It has dropped in value significantly:
