McLaren F1, the only hypercar that seats you and two supermodels.
Lumberjack Bill lol
That's two prozzies lol
Yeah ! If only Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins had bought an F1 instead of that Murcielago .
Absolutely, and not crashed it of course.
VaughnJogVlog this went on to bring about side air bags.
The person that owns these cars has a good taste in number plates.
EDIT: And cars of course, that goes without saying.
Mumbo!!!! Fancy seeing you here
Mumbo Jumbo just out of curiousity, what does voxel based mean,I saw the decription on you page, thanks
Mumbo Jumbo Hello Mumbo :D
Mumbo Jumbo Is it Valentino Rossi who own them haha :))
Yes the 46 chassis plate is paying homage to the E46 M3. BMW M makes the best motors!
I respect the P1. I worship the F1.
YellowDieselGolf exactly
Truth buddy.
I agree
I'm pretty sure that would change if you test drove both. You guys are victims of the "everything was better back then" fallacy.
@@gewinnste If we had McLaren F1 in 1993, and till now we dont have a flying car that anyone can fly or a 500kmph car than an average person can buy, then the everything was better back then statement is correct.
That F1 is timeless, and in this case I think analogue beats digital.
Yeah no lies mate
Totally agree
i hate digital.
Analogue always feels better also.
Not in any race, unfortunately.
It blows my mind how McLaren on their first attempt at building a road car managed to make arguably the greatest road car of all time.
Gordon Murray, Peter Stevens, Paul Rosche. Best of the best.
It isn't the greatest road car, but it so damn close to being perfect. Its garbage suspension ruined that.
@@michaeltrumph121 i woudnt say its garbage. its just not as driver friendly as road car should be. thats what you get when you take a racing suspension and upgrade it with confort in mind, i guess.
@@allorfh2495
It wasn't a racing suspension, that was the problem. If it was a racing suspension, the car would have been perfect.
@@michaeltrumph121 its literally a modified version of the F1 racecar's suspension. (of that time of course)
To tell you which one's the better car, don't listen to me, look at this man's face for the verdict.
In the F1, he looks like a little kid, being taken to the biggest candy shop he's ever seen, absolutely laden with bliss and happiness to be in that seat.
In the P1, he looks like a car reviewer. Nothing wrong with that, but he looks like he's doing his job. Nothing more.
The tale tells itself, really. I don't hate the P1, it's phenomenal, but it doesn't have the magic of the F1. If the P1 is today's image of performance, the F1 is humanity's image of perfection.
You took my words from my mouth.
Well said
lol maybe overstating it juuust a bit.
Ik this is old but...you speak truth brother
The P1's new. It'll take a while before it's halo effect grows.
I honestly think the F1 is the best looking car of all time, how they made it look classy and dangerous at the same time blows my mind.
a real sports car. Unique. Three seater - if I could I would build F1 #the second ;)
Yep agree with ya... 20 freaking years later and it STILL looks unreal.I went to LA and went to the car museum. Little did I know that they had a silver F1 sitting on the one floor. I fucking lost it when I saw it and literally ran to it like a kid on Christmas. My wife couldn't understand. This is a car I've read about and only see in videos/magazines and to be face to face from it and actually LOOK at it from all angles was awesome.Love the P1... but the F1 will always be king to me. What they did back at that time is really unreal when you think of possibly how far we COULD be today.
Its a form that follows function, shaped by 90s F1 technology. Gordon Murray is a man who likes simplicity and he was working with McLaren at a time when they were absolutely dominating F1. A car like this can only be conceived when all of the stars align. That's why the F1 is and looks so special. Never again will a car like this exist.
+NewShockerGuy
Hi there,
For me too,it is a dream car.
If i could see one,i would die happy. If i could hear one,i would think that i'm dead and reached heaven.
How was it? Is it as beautiful as everyone imagines?
Gordon Ramsay
true
I'm glad to see Harry Potter has found a good job driving cars after he left hogwarts.
All the sudden Voldemort shows up in a laferrari😂😂😂
Perfectionist R no a sesto elemento
LOL!!! 😂😂😂
He be like screw broomsticks
omg, lol and wtf, that was.....
Magnificent! The F1 sounds so glorious! That BMW V12 is a legend. No car in the future will ever sound like that. Thank you Evo, for this video!
And Happy Birthday Henry!
well said. Best (sounding) engine ever. The F1 is a legend and theres nothing like it
***** Agreed to me the best sounding cars to me are the mclaren f1, zonda, murcielago just cant beat the amazing sounds these cars produce.
Two car legends face to face but the F1 have some special and this BMW V12 engine is music for my ears
The only V12 that holds a candle to the F1s motor is the Zonda AMG V12.
James Hunt
Oh hell yea lol. Murcielago lp640 motor is also quite special. =)
Am I the only one who think the F1 still looks like a new car? For me it's design is just timeless and it will always looks like a new car to me.
Filipe1020 it does look incredible
Yup
F1 looks better than P1
P1 looks like a sea shell. Arielle would be at home in a P1.
@@thisemptyworm4677 bmw fan
P1 = The car most of us will be able to push to the limits.
F1 = The car most of us would want to drive.
*my bmw is similar in color to these two and f1 has bmw engine if that helps*
How is that of ANY relevance and what makes u think no1 saw what was written on the engine block?
Ok ill go down your line. My airbus is same color as a Rimac Concept One and it has Rolce Royce engine if that helps
I guarantee you most people couldn't come close to pushing the P1 to its limits.
krocialblack Bang on mate!
@@gw7624 pushing a car to its limits takes skill
Been almost 7 years and i still keep coming back to this masterpiece,granted they had the best cars,but both Evo and Catchpole did a fantastic job,absolutely perfect.
Yep, gotta come back to this one from time to time.
Words can't describe how much I love the F1
me too man. its perfect.
Insanely timeless too
Me too, dude! Me too! McLaren F1 is my favorite supercar EVER! The best machine ever made. Considering more than 20 years since creation, and we, today, now, talking about this car and the McLaren F1 is so current in these days. What car did it? Answer me.
BIGWEBB88 why its over hyped junk with a rubbish gutless engine no surprise BMW made the joke. The F1's pathetic engine makes just over 101hp per litre at the same time production cars like Honda's S2000 made 123.5 hp per litre which makes the F1 look like an engineering joke if you park it next to an S2000 as its engine is 23% more powerful per litre than the amatuer bit of rubbish BMW could come up with. The F1 isn't even fast and never was, a 2litre RS500 Group A touring would have blown one away, a current Honda BTCC car blows current McClaren road cars away. The F1 is a pile of overpriced bling bling rubbish that was way out of date and would look absolutely pathetic if it was parked next to an S2000 of the same era in engineering terms. You could use the more powerful Honda day in day out for years and it wouldn't go wrong after hundreds of thousands of miles and need somer ridiculous servicing . 6.1 times 123.5 is 753 hp not the miniscule amount BMW managed ! nearly 150 less 600 odd hopeless not even type r land really :)
Simon Walker pffHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAaahaAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
This is just too much fail for one post. You're an idiot. Go back to your Civic, fanboy.
Simon Walker whahahaha fail
THanks EVO you've outdone yourself once again .... Now we need the comparison of the P1/918/Laferrari
***** Probably isn't gonna happen due to Ferraris weird policies.
Schleberger By weird I'm sure you mean childish
Schleberger Its mostly McLaren and Ferrari acting like children half the time.
***** +1 :)
***** motor trend did one a few weeks back, check out their video. Ferrari pussied out a usual, but it has a very interesting conclusion.
The F1 just blew my mind as kid a and still does to this day. An incredible piece of engineering and then some. Excellent video.
The LM version is still my dream car. The car in orange is incredible I was so lucky to view the one in Philly.
RAWKUS tv
True true
If the two cars were presented to me, I would choose the F1. Not because of it's value (the P1's value will increase a great deal), but the for the driving experience. No electronic nannies getting in the way, a manual gear box, the up front center driving position, and that glorious normally aspirated V12. It still has specs that make it a very very fast car. This car has a soul, a spirit that hybrid drivetrains, automatic transmissions and tons of electronic trickery just can't replace.
The P1 value will indeed increase but lets be honest F1 will always be the highest value hypercar.
Mint F1 now value more than 12 P1. Just different class, I don't see P1 can value more than 3x twenty years later
It's amazing how well the F1 has stood the test of time, even today it looks stunning
The F1.. simply magical.
243mph and NA.....................................enough said really!!!!
***** Shhhhhh, you don't want the Yanks hearing that their stretched Lotus with a 1960's V8 dragster engine in the back is the best car in the world as that would be too much for them to take in.
+David Lyon Hey We found you lol. It's a fun car it's kind of a piece of unoriginal shit but I'm not mad at it. It's really about a 200k car if it was priced correctly I think it would be great since they didn't actually have to make that much of it.
+David Lyon The butthurt is strong in this one...
+Chris B I wonder why no one else has modified a Lotus and simply beaten us? Surely Europe's superior engineering could blow us out of the water. I mean we all know the Venom isn't the most sophisticated car on the planet, and they borrowed one of the lightest and pure Lotus designs ever made and gave it the engine it deserves, *not to mention completely re-engineered and re-shaped everything in carbon-fiber besides the cockpit*, but it was made JUST to break the speed record, not be the most respected vehicle of all time. We DO own the speed record, and until someone else breaks it, I'm sure you'll pretend "it's cheating".
(BTW I love the F1 5x more than the Venom, I just get annoyed by butthurt childish statements.)
+cybertree It only did it in 1 direction not both so it doesn't own the total speed record
Nothing on the planet compares to the legacy the F1 has left.
I would put this 1st, Shelby Cobra 2nd, Lancia Stratos 3rd. That's just my personal opinion, I would love to see other's top three.
+Edwin Brink
1. Ford Model T
2. Volkswagen Beetle
3. Toyota Corolla
Just a list of the most impactful cars xD
+Rottensteam dont torget toyota prius
don't forget Koenigsegg
Gordon Murray T50 incoming!!
I'd still take the F1 any time.
As excellent as the P1 is...I'd take the F1 every time. It's just something special. The Ferrari F40 and Jaguar XJ220 give me similar feelings as the F1.
This video was superb, thank you!
The Jag's absolutely abysmal man
Tawfiqur Rahman I like it for it's interesting looks more than anything really.
Tawfiqur Rahman si us this pal. not got a touch on bugatti.
G Man Ferrari F50 is better than F40...
Radek Vinš and both were better than the mclaren f1, mclaren only sold about 70 cars in the end and had to stop production, disaster of a car, laferrari and bugatti veyron are the best two cars we have ever seen. Ultimate Aero ssc is great too.
F1 looks so contemporary even after 23 years.
I wonder if Henry ever watches these videos back and can’t believe it’s him, what a seriously lucky bloke
the F1 is is still the fastest naturally aspirated road car no?
it is!! fuckin love that
Are you really asking that question with a Veyron as your profile picture?
Miles Smith veyon has a naturally aspurated engine.. yeah right -_- also.. Veyron isnt even the fastest car
Naturally aspirated are the key words here
I would have to look it up but, I think it actually is. Hadn't thought of that. There are a lot of more powerful naturally aspirated engines yet, this one is still the fastest. Zonda comes 2nd I think. BMW and Benz motors from the 90s.
He smiles the entire time he drives the F1..and only once when driving the P1
The F1 is still the ultimate super car if someone asks me!
hard to imagine there is a gtr version of it
+Kate what's it called?
Google F1 GTR or F1 LM
+Odd Future Mclaren F1 GTR, are you really that stupid? wtf!
the F1 LM is a masterpiece.
Props to the genius from BMW. Creating such a beatiful sounding engine. Goosebumps on my whole body!
It was Paul Rosche the same guy who built the bmw formula 1 engine with 1500hp
McLaren F1 : The car that i couldn't afford even in the afterlife.
Imam Dwi Septiadi I don't think you could afford a P1 either
Leftheo u got me man.. not even mclaren, or supercar, or sport, or kei car, or car.. i think unicycle is the best for my daily life
Imam Dwi Septiadi Same here man :)
@@leftheodo 😁
U made my day mamski
I can't get over how good the F1 still looks today. Absolutely ahead of its time.
The shape of the McLaren F1... makes me glad I was born in this century to witness this masterpiece.
There is something about N/A engines, manual gearboxes, and overall efficient simplicity that cannot be explained to those who don't already understand. I'll do my best: Passion Vs. Perfection
BMW v12 is a masterpiece, f1 is a masterpiece
That was breathtaking. I would have been a crying, jabbering, emotional wreck if given the opportunity to drive those two beautiful cars for the day. Well done for keeping your shit together, Henry!
I saw an F1 - My dream car- on the road for the first time last year driving through Chelsea... My girlfriend had to pull me out of the road. I literally stopped dead in my tracks in the middle of the street.
Absolute dream machine.
P1= Very good Car!
F1= Masterpiece!
David McKenzie A car is not considered "Masterpiece" Just because of it's price, or the value, lol!
First of all McLaren F1 is over 20 years old, and still has the Fastest Naturally Aspirated engine ever build! Ferrari Enzo comes close, but no near the Top Speed of F1.
F1 is literally a purpose build Road legal Race Car! That simply Demolished any car on a race track in the 90's! Even up to-date it will still out-handle modern supercars with ease!
F1 held a Record for the Fastest Car in the World! In regards to top speed, for 12 consecutive Years! Which in itself is another Record!
In our society, There are constant innovations, changes, and exponential growth in technology! Yet the F1 still glings to it's greatness! And even after 20 years! It is still considered a Serious car, that is More than capable in beating Modern Lambo's and Ferrari's on a race track! For these reason alone, This car is truly considered a Masterpiece!
And btw last McLaren F1 that was sold, went for 10 million Dollars!
@@nukeurhouse12 now the latest f1 has been auctioned for $18.5m. Its amazing how unique and amazing the F1 is..
P1= Masterpiece
F1= Godlike
Exactly, both cars are extraordinary. But, the F1 comes out on top in my opinion, and it will always be my favourite car ever built.
F1 and P1 are just beautiful cars in every aspect.
That was fucking beautiful :'D
Especially the ending
The F1 is so perfect I literally cried, because nothing else will be made with the goal of being the ultimate road car.
what about the senna?
@@logandoers9390 ultimate track.
Have you heard about the GMA T.50 , successor to the F1?
next up : enzo vs. la ferrari
please EVO !
Yes great idea. Never thought of that one
f40 v laferrari the Enzo couldn't hold a candle to an f40
+Dean Mohan yea it could you moron. the f40 is fast but its not fast enough to beat 20 years of technological advancment
You clearly don't know what your talking about the Enzo is nowhere near as special as the f40 the original super car, I wasn't talking about speed you jizz rag
depends on who you talk to. Saying the f40 is better than the enzo ( not from a performance perspective ) as if it's factual makes you look like a fanboy, and no one likes a fanboy.
I love the f40, but i'd take the enzo over it any day
I have to say, Mr Henry Catchpole and the EVO team have done true justice to these 2 cars. They have composed a beautiful score to this video and demonstrated how the P1 and the F1 both made a mark not only within their respective decades, but also throughout history. PROPS TO HENRY AND THE TEAM FOR MAKING YET ANOTHER LEGENDARY VIDEO!!!!
This was epic. Pure porn. Both cars are just, simply the best.
ReventadorLP1500-2 hahaha beleive in fairy tales. they never been the best.
Sergey Popov Well, I haven't driven them. If you have and you think that, then OK I guess.
ReventadorLP1500-2 dude that was an epic reply.
sankara760 Haha wow, thank you.
That hurts +Sergey Popov drive them first, then talk shit!!!
the last shot of both cars in sunset scenery is simply magical!
one of the best reviews ever!
F1= Rolex watch
P1= Apple watch.
Bit of an insult to the P1, but I see where you're coming from. F1 all day.
F1 Patek Philippe
P1 Richard Mille
More like
F1: Audemars
P1: Rolex.
Matt Canipe no i prefer rolex over audemars any day
.
F1 = JAY LENO'S GARAGE
P1= EVO
BMW M Power :)

F40 vs LaFerrari please
Jia En Khoo Maybe F50..
yurixruz no enzo, its definitely the closest in terms of flagships
Bilal Khan
Enzo isn't a car of the 90's..
Bilal Khan They've already done it, comparsion between Enzo and LaFerrari in their magazine ;)
You look like a British Solid Snake
Tears in my eyes, beautifull
better than porn
Yup
Stop watching GAY PORN.
P1 for the daily commute because you just need to be in racer mode every. single. day.
F1 for when you want to drive.
What a beast.
You know how low race modes is right
Yeah hmm. Daily commute in a 1.8million usd car :/. Know what mate I would rather daily an r8 or porcshe gt3 rs for a 10th of the money.
Funny as amazing as the P1 is I bet most of real car people would pick the F1 over the P1
Daniel Maia i actually wouldnt pick a p1 . Looks so underwhelming when you see it. Like a 650s with a kit. Absolutely love the f1 though
The P1 is as much of a real car as the F1 and its also a whole lot quicker
I tend to watch this production once every six months or so, and I have to say, it's brilliant. Thanks to you guys again.
Massive massive props to the owner for sharing them with the world and actually driving them!
Fabulously shot and put together video, well done EVO and Henry.
I don't know what you do to the EQ of the overvoice, but saliva sounds so much that it's gross. Ugh.
ReventadorLP1500-2 yeah man, that was driving me nuts as well. It was horrible
ReventadorLP1500-2 haha he is known for that in every video.
ReventadorLP1500-2 That's not the EQ it's the compression. I don't why they have it at such a high ratio where it brings that out so much but yeah, that's the one downside of the video.
Liam Manley Yeah, maybe it's that. I'm studying this stuff, so I kinda now about it.
As an 80's born child, I was absolutely obsessed with the McLaren F1 in the mid 90's. By the time youtube came around, the video quality of the small catalogue of available f1 videos was terrible. This is by far the best video on the McLaren F1. Beautiful cinematography and dialogue. My senses have been stirred, my passion for this car reignited. BRAVO.
I got a pair of socks for my birthday
Phenomenal review. I loved it. The purity of the F1 cannot be matched even by the newer, faster, and more stylish younger brother.
Your right except more stylish
First video I "like" before reaching one minute. Like "it's gonna be great!"
My 2 dream cars. Loved the F1 since I was 6 and that p1 is stunning, especially with the little styling nods to the F1.
Thankyou EVO for getting it - for understanding what it is that car enthusiasts love about cars. It's not about races vs other vehicles or playing conkers with caravans. It's about - and you'll forgive me - the thrill of driving and no-one explains that better than you guys. This and the N430 Military Road vid in particular really pull on the heartstrings. Not in a saccharin sweet way but in a way that is appreciative and heartfelt. TGT and TG still haven't really nailed that yet.
It reminds me of the story of Beck, Clapton and Townshend walking into a club, arguing about who is the best guitarist and once they saw Jimi on stage, they realised it was none of them. That is EVO...
That engine though. Sad to think production cars will never howl like this in the future.
Brilliant Video!
Now do the same with an Enzo and the LaFerrari and the Carrera and the 918 please !
A video comparison between the Carrera and the 918 would have been amazing to watch!
I've seen tenths of P1 reviews and test drives, but this is the only one I got to hear for real the turbo spooling and blow off sprinkles, actually though there weren't any before this one... THANK YOU very much for that!!
7 years and countless replays later... this video still gives me goosebumps when I watch it.
Whose here after the T.50 announcement?
The f1 also known as one of the greatest cars ever built I would take over the p1 anyday forget that traction control electric BS that takes the soul and driving experience away. Then you have amazing naturally aspirated V12 with the mid seat driver position that is perfectly positioned its an experience unlike any other that could never be replicated.This car has a soul,a fire inside that takes your breath away every time you push that throttle.
DaBomb from Guam
... have you driven either before or at least cars with similar descriptions?
@@aristosachaion_ he may not even be able to rent a p1 for an hour
Guys, this is one of the best ever made and most emotional car clip I have seen so far. The owner must be very happy that his cars are the stars of this amazing clip ! Cheers !
I imagine driving the F1 would be like falling in love, you are consumed and amazed at the same time and unable to stop smiling, sweating,tingling, floating etc.
14:00 - Beautiful wallpaper.
Thanks for reminding me
I can't imagine anyone will ever design a better looking car than the F1
Better looking is easy, better engineering is very hard to achieve
@@holysoulemerge6469 T50 is now out!!
this is probably the best video on RUclips, I never thought of searching up P1 vs F1.... thank you evo.
his voice with that music is so calming
so happy that it was hosted by henry
Please post that last shot as a wallpaper if it is possible!
I don‘t know how many times I watched that clip. I was fortunate enough to visit Mr. J‘s garage and put my hands on these cars. Did not drive them but just standing in front of these beauties blew my mind.
If evo ever goes to 4K on RUclips, I think I might die and go to heaven...
Looks like nostalgia is what's causing people to choose the F1 over the P1
MartGTR You can give "soul" to any car if you want to.
MartGTR This "soul" is just your imagination creating an emotional attachment. That's all. You think the F1 wasn't designed with software and science? It was. Just 1980s/90s software and science.
MartGTR Cars(including the F1) are designed by engineers. There are cars worth millions because of the how they defined their segment relative to their competitors when they came out and their prices inflate due to their ever increasing rarity. Have fun living in your fairy tale land you delusional clown.
Light Yagami no no no. Objectively it's better. However there's this nostalgia-shaming tactic that's making people buy into new low-quality products (cars or not) simply because they're "new".
MartGTR
All relative points based on opinion. The F1 was and still is one of my favorite cars of all time but the P1 looks better in my opinion and is in fact a better/faster overall car to all but those who value sound and manual above all else.
All HAIL NATURALLY ASPIRATION!
Whoever the owner is - a massive thank you for allowing your machines to be ragged by Henry for our enjoyment. I'm never going to be in position to drive, let alone own, one of these. But with evo and Henry doing this video - we all now feel like we have. Thank you, my friend whoever you are, thank you.
when i get a Mclaren F1, i will find you on spokeo and i will drive to your house at midnight and leave a note on your door that says that i hid the keys in your room, i will hide inside the wall and watch you search. will give pizza if you find
Catchpole does it again! An emotional, informative and beautiful comparison.
One of the very best automotive journalists out there!
Next find a Le Mans winning F1 GTR untouched from complete race-spec and review it on the track. :o
their are a ton of those m8
This video should have parental advisory warnings due to the porn content. McLaren may just be my favorite automotive company while Christian von Koenigsegg is definitely my favorite engineer. Many cars today still cannot live up to the mystique and presence of the F1. Dare I say, as much as I love the P1(and I do love the P1) it still won't be as legendary as the F1 is still to this day. It's a tough act to follow.
Top notch job once again. I hope this is not the last video you do with the McLaren F1, it's an utterly fantastic car.
One of the best reviews on RUclips, ever!!! I was almost emotional as I sat here on my couch listening to Henry talk about the F1 in the first half of the review. Thank you Henry for being what I think is the Morgan Freeman of automobile journalists 👍
If I had to close my eyes and listen to the F1 and the P1, the F1 would win always.
F1 > P1 naturally aspirated ftw.
S Nguyen 👍
P1 is twin turbo
Gaming with Eddie 167 obviously you didn't understand Jasons comment haha
Two beautiful cars, the original F1 is such a classic.
Maybe I’m a fool , but this is the car channel I find the most interesting and best produced of all the RUclips car channels
13:52 WOW
The McLaren is the pinnacle of cars before driver aids. It did have a lot of active aero which was so far ahead of it's time that even today many super cars don't have similar features but it didn't have ABS (which was fairly common at the time), no traction control (which you saw on a few high end passenger cars but no performance cars), definitely no yaw or attitude control (didn't exist). The engine uses a throttle cable (electronic throttles were probably being used on F1 cars) and doesn't have variable valve timing (barely out on Honda VTECs).
What would make a F1 better without totally changing it? Certainly modern ceramic brakes with good ABS, maybe an electronic throttle and direct injection would make the engine even more responsive (and more fuel efficient :-D). The car came out just as semi-autos were coming on the scene in F1 so it was early for that but to be able to blitz up the gears without that rpm drop that was so normal then but sounds so sloooowww today. Other than that? The F1 came out when I was 15, 24 years ago and it's still the one car from then that I'd want to drive more than a car that replaced it. Would you rather an F40 over an Enzo or la Ferrari or a C5 Corvette over a C7 (maybe that one's close if you compare today's base C7 to a Z06 C5), a Porsche 959 is a midrange 911 by today's standards but an F1 to some extent still goes head to head just on sheer numbers with any non hybrid McLaren today. Of course they're cheaper, easier daily drivers, get better mileage, blah blah blah but would you take a 675 over an F1?
Clifford Bradford that bmw S70/2 has variable valve timing called VANOS
I'm not so sure an electronic throttle would help with an even more responsive engine, but I dunno.
And in this video, the guy is driving rather comfortably because these are ridiculously expensive cars on regular, small roads. it's certainly possible to shift a manual faster than he does here. I guess that can be considered somewhat of a problem, esp as a passenger. But as a driver, I'll take it as a different experience.
Upgraded brakes, though, yes please!
“You get the feeling that it may never be surpassed”, to be honest, it WILL never be surpassed! From glorifying my childhood to still being the music to my ears, That F1 with its V12 was what really made me fall in love with cars in the first place! It was really was ‘love at first sight’
1:55 that shift is one of the greatest sounds in automotive history.
One car is analogue. The other is digital. There is no competition. The F1 is _the_ drivers car.
Fantastic video. Two amazing cars, I love both for different reasons.
Great video Evo so glad you found somewhere to film I'm so jealous you got to drive them
Wow thanks guys, that was awesome. Cant believe how similar the cars look, never seen them side by side like that
The F1 remains my favorite supercar design of all time, masculine, subtle and purposeful…. Bring back the center seating McLaren !!
thats the british hugh jackman!!
I’ve watched this video so many times. The F1 is very much a Concorde moment for McLaren, as for the P1, for me it does play second fiddle to F1 but it still an amazing car.
I thought the F1 sounded legendary as it is, but with the sports exhaust, the sound is so much better it blows my mind! No other video of the F1 or the P1 even comes close to capturing the sound at the level of this video. You can hear everything right down to the engine breathing!
