The McLaren F1 is considered by most to be the first hypercar ever. When McLaren and its lead designer, Gordon Murray, released it back in 1992 it shocked the automotive world with it unique design and race inspired functionality. The McLaren F1 was full of firsts, it used carbon fiber, space grade metals, it had a Formula One derived engine by BMW, and it had three seats! Three seats in a hypercar! And those are only a few of the incredible engineering features in the McLaren F1. Today we are going B2B on the car that managed to hold on to the title of fastest car in the world for TWELVE straight years, the McLaren F1.

Its been a dream car of mine since i saw it in need for speed high stakes. That was almost 20 years ago. I love this car because its the definition of perfection
Idk man the Honda Fit is kinda cooler no cap
When I was younger my dad gave me a book about the McLaren F1 first I had ever heard of it and I thought it was very cool. Later found out the book is actually quite rare as it was only given to press members at a McLaren event in Monaco in 1992 so I have no idea how he ended up with one
But you still have the book?
Do you still have the book?
Damn it dude do you still have it

The bloody car still holds the record for the fastest naturally aspirated car, just amazing..
Considering there are other naturally aspirated cars pumping out 500+ horsepower, yeah thats amazing
@@Jake_Garcia right? With light weight carbon fiber and other crazy weight savings, gold lined engine. And a straight up racing motor from BMW in a full on track focused car how could you go wrong.

not anymore recently broken by T50(s) and Valkyrie
@ well man did the F1 hold on to it for a while.
with every new science explained videos, the amount of jeremiah's bikes in the background slowly expands
Lmao
As they should

Haha I came here to say the same thing! But figured I can’t be the only one to notice the changes
Lost it when you guys censored "monocoque" 😂😂 But the McLaren F1 is still the car of the future even IN the future!

I’m okay with this replacing Science Garage, Jeremiah is great at explaining all the engineering and making it entertaining. This is my new favorite Donut show for sure
What about BOTH??
I do like the idea of rolling Science Garage and B2B into one. Plus Jerry is just a great host--they couldn't have picked anyone better to fill Bart's and James's roles.
i forgot about the craig meme
Rowan Atkinson's F1 accident happened just outside of my hometown, Peterborough. The F1's engine was ripped out of the back of the car and the whole car had to be fully rebuilt and track tested by McLaren, and he later sold it on

Gordon and McLaren was a match made in heaven. Imagine designing one of the most legendary F1 cars that is still to this date considered one of the most dominant cars in F1 history, and also a production car that held a speed record for 12 years? Absolutely mad. Hope to see the same level of greatness by McLaren again some day
anorwayer97 it’s just called the F1, it’s not an actual F1 car lol
@@iwabi gorden murry was designing the formula cars as well, he designed the fan car which was way faster then its rivals.
As an engineering student, it’s awesome to hear some actual engineering terms in a car video! It’s nice to see an engineer talk about cars and bring his knowledge into the video! Kudos my man!

I’d say the 2005-2006 ford gt was one of the last analog supercars. It was only a stick shift. Had no traction control. It did however have ABS, Airbags and other required safety equipment.
I was first introduced to the McLaren F1 in NFS: High Stakes (1999). I've been in love ever since.
check NFS II SE from 1997
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, I'm not even going to finish the joke. You guys get the point.
Hahahaa
Hectors spoon engines got nothing on my fork and knife combo engine.

Just to let everyone know Jaguar XJR-15 was the first road car to use a carbon fiber monocoque construction. It was designed by Peter Stevens, the same guys who drew the F1's exterior.
Yeah but, aren't we talking about a production car?
@@mefastman77 The Jag was a production car. Also the Bugatti EB110 was a CF monocoque car and came out the year before the McLaren F1.

Good to know. (:
It’s 2am where I’m at, stayed up to see the new episode 😂
Thanks for staying up to watch - Jeremiah
I have to do that too
Haha same we in the capital of Mexico City BOIIIIIII
I was 12 years old when the F1 came out. I had posters of it everywhere and grew up with it, watched every video about it, read all the car magazines about it. One of those cars that is just awesome but I'd never get to see on in real life. Fast forward to when I am around 37 and when we went to LA, decided to go to the Petersen car museum. Little did I know there would be a silver Mclaren F1 on the one floor. My wife wasn't understanding why I was tearing up looking at the car for 30 minutes not saying a word... She just didn't get it. Veyrons are cool and so are all the other hyper cars but honestly this has a place in my heart. For being 20+ years old, it STILL looks awesome. I'd like to hear one in real life one day so perhaps that's another story. But being inches away from a real Mclaren F1 is still something that I cheese about when I think about it.
I knew that the F1 was a ridiculously good car, but after seeing those guys actually working on it by hand and the thought put into it... f*ck me, it's a wonder they aren't even more expensive, absolute piece of engineering art!
Would really cool if McLaren produced improved replicas of this same car some day, like Jaguar did for their vintage whatever car
we need that BMW V12 too
Yo Jeremiah Burton is one great addition to donut media!! That guy is dynamic, funny and can explain complicated content very well. Great job guys keep this up!
Man I would love a 3 seater car. Imagine how awesome the road would look from that vantage point.
Fun fact: The ecu modem was modern and forward looking at the time but nowadays the F1 can only communicate through the modem to an old Macintosh computer that has gone out of production.
I told my mom "Mother, I wish to acquire an egg for scientific experimentation", and she thought I was on drugs. 😐
🤣🤣🤣
“Hell I’ll tote it, i just need ya egg”
6:17 now that's what u call a clever beep
I always wanted to see a sixth gen civic with a center seat. Cheap, light, balanced and and double wishbone suspension, it's the perfect platform for it.
Until this day it doesn't look aged. Such a timeless design. Simple but beautiful
"I wanna know where da gold's at!" "I wan't tha gold!" Man, that brought back some memories. I wonder how many people even knew/caught that?!
oh man this was the best part of the video haha
To this day no other supercar sounds as nice as the F1, that BMW V12 with ITB's is just music when floored 🎶
I have waited for this day. AND IT HAS COME YEAAAHHHH!!!
The McLaren F1 IS my dream car I love everything about it :)
Me too
I like mclaren F1 team, MCL35 and mclaren senna
I love that car it's so freaking cool
F1 LM Spec is my fav😫😫if only I had $20,000,000
One day I will get that red HDK F1
Jeremiah!! Best advertisement ever!! James may be loud and bring the lightning, but you are the calm, smooth seller of dreams! A+
Funnily enough I had heard of Inconel before, And funnily enough it was also from something that was named the F1... F1 Rocket Engine... you know the engines on the Saturn V that sent people to the Moon :) So the Material has been around a while :)
From the Wikipedia page for the Rocketdyne F-1
"The material used for the F-1 thrust chamber tube bundle, reinforcing bands and manifold was Inconel-X750, a refractory nickel based alloy capable of withstanding high temperatures. "
This makes me miss Need for Speed Hot Pursuit II.
Using the F1LM NFS Edition, clipped a spike strip with the left side tires.
The car spun a 1260° in a second. Best moment ever.
That makes me want to try it out
Can we see a past Gas show on the future of Hypercars, for the track (ultima RS, Aston valkyrie, amg one etc, czinger 21c), top speed (Hennessey f5, Jesko, Chiron super sport etc), and acceleration (pininfarina, lotus, rimac). Would be cool
I love how he always assumes that they won’t use a clip, and then it gets used.
Day 41 of asking Donut to do an b2b on their cars or maybe an up to speed or d-list
Fun Fact of the Day: The 2005 - 2006 Chevrolet SSR’s came with an LS2
i'm really glad that you're taking more profit now with all the new videos, but man how i miss these old donut media days
Beeping out the monocoque at 6:18 was a really nice touch :D
Apart from the amazing content, let’s talk about HOW AMAZING the video editing and after effects are!
BIG FAN OF DONUT’S VIDEO EDITING
That 14k modems pretty cool.
It comes with a sat transceiver so McLaren can diagnose the engine from England to anywhere in the world.
Not bad for '92
This show went from "bumper to bumper" to "science garage" in a span of 4 months maybevlol
The McLaren F1 is _truly_ a race car for the road.
For real, no marketing bumf.
The tyres are _still_ $20,000 a set.
Because you have to hire a race track, test driver, engineers and ambulance to set up new tyres.
An F1 parked in a garage costs _$50,000_ in maintenance.
Because half the parts have a shelf life even if you don't use them.
my favourite F1 moment on youtube is when Daddy Doug got to review it, but wasn't allowed to drive it. So he had to sit crammed next to Jay Leno at the wheel.
One of the best BMW engine ever made !
Agreed but it was still McLaren who designed and specified it, back then they didn't have the money to build and tool a new factory for a limited run car
I think Honda was their first choice for tooling reasons to adapt an existing block
@@Michael.Talbot I am not sure about that. Paul Rosche was part of the project and he was the head engineer for race engines at bmw at that time. I guess that he was the head engineer for this engine too. BMW already started to develop the engine before mclaren ask for one and noticed that it will fit perfectly. Thats what i know. I don´t think that mclaren was designing the engine.
I’m sorry, “Greatest *Supercar* in the World”? Greatest car of all time.
But muh Bugatti
7:17 wtf all I could think of was Tyler1 in this scene
When this car came out in '92, I knew this was the best car I had ever seen. This is still my favorite car ever!
93-05 was exactly my school years. How so many things changed; TV, phones, the friggin internet! But the F1 stayed a familiar dream car.
"You're not gonna use that one I know it."

I got the chance to seat in an F1 while in Malibu when Jay Leno himself went to ride the snake, he showed alot of us the car and opened it all up, at the time I had no real idea what it even was, wicked cool and the 2 side seats are really small btw, the tool bag of tools that it comes with are also super super light weight, and he's 100% correct about the engine bay having all that gold, it is really something to behold in person!

Introducing all new -‘Gordon Murray T50’
I always wondered why the F1 used a BMW V12 considering they never produced engines for the McLaren Formula one team. Now I know!
Imagine the LS being around when they designed this car. Would have it been LS based?
No because even Koenigsegg based their engine off of Fords v8
@@krishneelprasad I'm just saying because the LS falls pretty well within Mclarens parameters. Packaging, weight, power. Maybe not economy during those years but DoD was a thing back then. I think it can do even better, to be honest. But I don't know, just a thought.
Some test mules had Chevy engines in them
It'd need to make 570 hp NA and pass an emissions test.
McLaren back then during the CanAm days uses Chevrolet small block engines. Their first road car, the McLaren M6GT uses a Chevy small block.
I reckon a lot of people have an egg situation to deal with right now.
If honda made the engine instead of bmw, just imagine how the car would be.
I love Honda motors but don't you think bmw did a fantastic job with this motor? They were up to the challenge and they delivered that is what is important.

15:15 "Reduces Friction on the piston ring"
*Piston jams up*
There is actually more to sanding cured composite parts prior to laminating or bonding than just increasing surface area. When you sand a cured part you are also energizing molecules on the surface which will bond much better to the energized molecules in the uncured epoxy resin being added. This energizing effect only lasts for 10-30 minutes but will result in higher strengths than a part that was laminated or bonded without this step.
6:52 thats some sloppy painted windows. Not good for a McLaren fan 😆
What’s painters tape?
"Give me the gold!"
>Kitkat Gold ad starts playing
No offense but it was called the McLaren F1 when Gordon Murray and his team were at the air port after a Formula One race saying about making a roadcar to beat Ferrari's F40. They wanted to be "39 times better than the F40" and thus, the name and car "McLaren F1" came to fruition.
It’s to be noted in a great achievement of weight savings Gordon Murray shaved the washers down before putting them on the bolts. All in the name of making the car light.
I had the pleasure of having a tour in Mclaren HQ/ Production center in Woking.
They had like five of these lined up from the road version to the racing variant.
The entire place is as quite as a library except the assembly line
Can't wait for the T-50 video. Seeing the madman Gordon Murray bring another piece of art into the modern world and break the internet.
Should have seats that can slant left and right so you can lean into turns like a motorcycle, how fun would that be :0)
Gordon Murray's hairstyle in the 90's was just as spectacular as the F1. Business in the front, party in the back! 😎👍
No car before, no car since has ever surpassed the f1 in terms of driving and engineering purity
Huge car and aviation fan here and the fact that you didn't mention the coolest part about Inconel really hurts. 🤣🤣 It was used to fabricate the skin of the world's fastest airplane (rocket powered airplane to be exact), the North American X-15 and it flew at 4,520 mph (7,274 km/h)!!! Great video, as always! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
