Can't really compare the massive V12 to this tiny V8. Obviously the Ferrari will sound better. But I think the GTR is the whole package. It looks absolutely fucking mental, like nothing else on the road or track, sounds amazing and it performs as it should.
Imagine if instead of all those souless prototypes that are racing at the 24h of Le Mans and other endurance races we could watch the likes of that P1 GTR, Ferrari FXX , Zondas R, Aston Martin Vulcans and other hypercars racing against each other! What a dream!
Fantastic review Jethro! The pressure of thrashing that car around knowing its value and rarity must be nerve wrecking. But you did it with gusto and, along with your team at EVO, did a hell of a job with this film.
Evo getting it right as always. Cinematography is always superb. Editing is on point. Nothing is exploding or getting destroyed and the sounds aren't dubbed in. Pure honest car reviews done by true enthusiasts that actually know how to pedal a car well and do a review at the same time. Love it and never stop. This is the closest you will get to being able to imagine or understand how some of these extreme exotics actually feel through film and word.
Last 2 cents... Wish shows like top gear would actually do what they say on the box. Cant see the appeal to be honest. Sorry this isn't aimed at you Chris Harris, you're still the original civilized hooligan, will always follow CHOC and read your articles aswell.
That's an understatement. I was bored AF, opened RUclips and I saw a P1 GTR and thought 'another P1 GTR spotting video or something with no content" then I read *evo LEADERBOARD*...
Comments on EVO videos are a throwback. So many know what's faster, cheaper or both. Everyone is an expert on hypercars as well. Didn't know there were so many pros in the world. Impressive
Man, imagine if FIA GT1 class was revived these days. Imagine Porsche 918 GT1 RSR vs. LaFerrari GT1 vs. McLaren P1 GT1-R... That would be some of the most amazing racing of all time :-O Alas...
Jeremy J. I day dream about such a thing everyday. At least we might get something like that with the new lmp1 hyper car rules and class coming next season. But still the original GT1 class is probably my favorite era of Motorsport. Right up there with group C, GTP, IMSA GTO/GTU and late 90’s and early 2000’s LMP and GT1 with Mc12, ford GT and other unrestricted GT cars
Lots of Turbo cars sound good... its just people have now been brainwashed into a one dimensional, conformist mentality where turbos have been demonised in recent years. Sure NAs are freer breathing, but a turbo does not guarantee a bad noise as NAs also do not guarantee a great noise.
Another fantastic video from EVO. Congrats to the production team, as always truly inspiring. Jethro wasn't bad as well. Videos been a little scarce recently, any reason for that?
No one, including EVO, gives a shit about the Ferrari 'lap times' - they are all fake as all the cars sent by ferrari have been heavily tuned for the test, and have close to nothing in common to the one you can buy from your local dealership. I'm glad EVO is not standing up for their bullshit either, just like Chris Harris, and not promoting their scam. Well done EVO.
I have seen both of these cars in person The FXXK and P1 GTR it’s a beautiful car but FXXK when you see it person drop dead gorgeous FXXK it’s just in a class of its own.
Not a fan of the 2nd version FXXK though, I like the FXXK Evo more because of the more aggressive aero package. But still just the same car but with different styling
The P1 GTR just pushed the P1 down on my list to become my favorite car. Every time I look at those spoilers, there is an expression of joy on my face that I can't explain. Hope I get to drive one of the above mentioned cars in my lifetime. Need to work hard.!!!!
this is one of the best sounding twin turbo v8's,but this guy deserves a medal or something for being able to talk whilst pushing this thing to its limit
One of my favorite car channels of 2016. It used to be /DRIVE but we all know they've gone to the shitter. EVO provides the objective qualities (lap times) and subjective qualities (Jethro pooing himself on camera) that I look for in a car video. Great job!
Good job Jethro. One could tell you pushed the beast to the ragged edge on that hot lap. I should like to see Radical let you have a V8 RXC (not the 500 Turbo) and some slicks for a couple days to do similar.
I was interested how that laptime compares to bikes, so checked. Looks like in the No Limits Racing (UK domestic racing league), a 1000cc superbike is doing 1:09 around there. Amazingly someone did a 1:10 on a "pre-fuel injection" (i.e. carbureted) 1000cc bike at the same event. www.tsl-timing.com/file/?f=NOLIMITS/2016/162377pss.pdf
OMG 7:55 both the 675 and 488 now have an almost identical time to the 'normal' P1 and 918. WTF! The most amazing hypercars known to man are now beginning to show their age after only a few short years!
When it showed the lap times at the end of the video, it also listed a Ferrari 488 among the lap times. However, I can't find that video anywhere (I'm talking about Leaderboard video, not the 488 review video where no lap time was ever performed). Any help?? Or was this a typo?
this is what you think. the Miura isn't the first supercar, but the first road supercar with central engine. but that's not what I meant. i Mean they invented track hypercar, like FXX, 599XX, FXX-K, pagani zonda R, P1....they was the first with the FXX.
Yeaaaa sorry dude but I think you're wrong there tbh mate. The Bugatti Veyron was defo the first hypercar, certainly the first car to earn the title anyways in terms of look, build, engineering, power, speed and cost. It was the car that took the step from supercars like the Murcielago (if that's how ya spell it) and Enzo and just went nuts. Then came cars like the LFA etc and even the egg which I wouldn't call a hypercar I don't think but they were the second ones to start to just go nuts with the tech and build cost and individuality etc etc. Then the holy trinity came with the 918, LaF & P1.
I don't know how Jethro gets up in the morning. Having to go to work and spank a P1 GTR round a track in the sun for a day, must be horrible, my heart goes out to him. :p
On the internet is says "£1.98 million = 2.22 million Euro = $3.06 million" Why spent so much money if you can have a GT3 Race car for 400k euro including a set of spare parts. You can buy a small starter field of GT3 cars for that money!
This is more accessible than a GT3 car. Billionaires would probably end up crashing a GT3. More so, buying a P1 GTR gives you access to a team and iconic tracks around the world.
KaneDesigns The GT3-Car are really easy to drive. Esp when not on the limit! BlancPain has a GT3 Pro-Am class were wealthy amateur drivers can take part in. Pretty sure a GT3 car is easy to drive on race track as it is more confused for the race track it also has less power what makes it easier on the throttle.
Because you van drive it to the track lap at same pace as GT3 Race cars, and drive home again (road converted of course). And if you can afford it, you can probably run a GT3 team as well, so have both.
jerryl davis While it would to an extent, the amount of energy used will far outweigh the energy recovered via those methods. F1 uses two different kinds of Energy Recovery Systems (ERS), one similar to the P1 and one derived from the turbo unit. F1 also has strict use on the former, allowing for only a few bursts of power per lap. This P1 and hybrids like it simply use the power whenever the driver is on the accelerator (if in the appropriate mode).
While the P1 GTR is certainly manic and very, very impressive it should be noted that a) it is a borderline racecar with lexan side windows (not legal for road use in the USA) and B)It has drag or race slicks that would never see the light of day on a road car, etc. etc. The Porsche Turbo S can easily be modified and boosted to 1200 hp. Such is the mighty German engineering out of Stuttgart,Baden-Württemberg, that even 750hp would probably give the 911 Turbo S enough oomph to either tie the p1 GTR or come in at least second place on streetable tires!
Such a beautiful beast! Drove a 570s last week and that was ridiculously fast, can't imagine how that thing feels.
the question is... will we get a video of your drive of it?
There is already a small video of my drive with the 570s on my channel, we took it onto the Autobahn.
Nice advertisement of your channel bruh.
Luke you need to film the P1 GTR Also!
Cars with Luke
Omg the sounds thru my headphones are amazing. Absolute beast of a car
same here hahaha!
Richard Singh me to
have heard it irl and yeah, its quite okey, but the FXX-K tho... (Had them both on track at the same time...)
the sound guy deserves more credit
Can't really compare the massive V12 to this tiny V8. Obviously the Ferrari will sound better. But I think the GTR is the whole package. It looks absolutely fucking mental, like nothing else on the road or track, sounds amazing and it performs as it should.
9:09 That shot is Everything.
Dick&ns Up To The C&iling yeah dude
Imagine if instead of all those souless prototypes that are racing at the 24h of Le Mans and other endurance races we could watch the likes of that P1 GTR, Ferrari FXX , Zondas R, Aston Martin Vulcans and other hypercars racing against each other! What a dream!
That would be absolutely awesome.
They would need 150 engines to complete the 24H.
MarMPB its happening!
@@rarekip5 im not too sure about that anymore.
Nick Nomienos Hope so! Our gain🙌🏻
Fantastic review Jethro! The pressure of thrashing that car around knowing its value and rarity must be nerve wrecking. But you did it with gusto and, along with your team at EVO, did a hell of a job with this film.
everything is insured. no worries
Except for the fact that it could jeopardize his job, reputation and pride if something were to happen. Sure, no sweat!
He's leaving EVO though, this was his last film.. :(
riemjann1 where is he going? Top Gear I hope? just as good, if not better than Harris driving wise and just as charismatic. Dream team for TG
He has driven it on the road too.
This car looks and does what we all imagine HotWheels cars do when we play with them as kids

Listen to that turbos
Every noise it makes is a mechanical version of a beautiful woman in the throws of passion !
This vidoe was a pleasant surprise.
That's an understatement. I was bored AF, opened RUclips and I saw a P1 GTR and thought 'another P1 GTR spotting video or something with no content" then I read *evo LEADERBOARD*...
"I'd had a P1 fucking GTR and wouldn't care what anyone thought". Atta guy, Jethro.

If I could afford one of these multi million dollar cars it would be a P1 GTR. No question.
Terrance Adrian or anything that resembles a lm gt car. They’re amazing.
Sorry mate i guess each one of it sold out😂
@@E2LH2F they did. doesnt mean people dont sell the ones they bought theres one on autotrader rn for about 3 million quid
literally. this or the one:1. and i’d buy this first
Man, imagine if FIA GT1 class was revived these days.

The sound editing makes the car sound alot better during the lap than during the review. The lap sounds fantastic!
I didn't know turbocharged engines could sound so good
Alex Law then you havent heard many turbo charged engines
Boosted Skyline I think what Alex means is that on the whole N/A sounds better but can't believe how good this turbo v8 sounds :)
Lots of Turbo cars sound good... its just people have now been brainwashed into a one dimensional, conformist mentality where turbos have been demonised in recent years. Sure NAs are freer breathing, but a turbo does not guarantee a bad noise as NAs also do not guarantee a great noise.
488 pista sounds amazing
That seems insane. Its so fast it looks like the car is being fast forwarded
Another fantastic video from EVO. Congrats to the production team, as always truly inspiring. Jethro wasn't bad as well. Videos been a little scarce recently, any reason for that?
The host of these segments is a proper driver, if it's not obvious.
With the right editing and a fast car anyone can look like a proper driver. 😂
That circuit is breathtaking
The 488 GTB did a 1.12" like the 675LT? Where is the video +EVO??
7:55
good spot
Luca Alessandro Oliviero very good spot!!!
Luca Alessandro Oliviero read the magazine lol

I really love the fact that you explain that event this kind of car is not just about lap time, but, feeling and drivability. Thank you Evo

that was a lap. sick driving.
Never liked the racing livery of the P1 GTR's, however it is still such an incredible car. Loss for words honestly.
Google "McLaren P1 GTR Lark"
its a shame I can only give this video a single thumbs up.
i actually find it amazing that the c12 mclaren is really low price now. you can buy one secondhand for 125k hoping the car was build well.
Was there on the day setting up the cars ready for a photoshoot. Amazing team to make a great video. Keep up the good work guys!
What an incredible clip, thank you Evo for existing
You can actually hear Jethro grinning
The P1 GTR just pushed the P1 down on my list to become my favorite car. Every time I look at those spoilers, there is an expression of joy on my face that I can't explain. Hope I get to drive one of the above mentioned cars in my lifetime.
Need to work hard.!!!!
this is one of the best sounding twin turbo v8's,but this guy deserves a medal or something for being able to talk whilst pushing this thing to its limit
Ace driving Jethro!!!
Everytime Jethro gets off the throttle the car litterilly "breathes out".
This thing is alive and mental. What a car!
Great vid JB - really enjoying your work mate. Thanks heaps pal.
Amazing drive! Now time to take the Lotus 3-Eleven on the track for some proper competition ;)
That was a heroic lap! Well done, I was holding my breath at times.
Would be cool to see the FXXK around this course for comparison.
Omg, the lap looks like a sped up video! With good headphones, the noise is a monster.
What a way to go, Jethro. Best of luck at Drivetribe!
boddington, you might be my fav car journalist. gd that looked like a blast
I only can imagine this ting at Spa
This needs to be acknowledged more often: Jethro is on one helluva driver
The McLaren P1 GT-R is one of my favorite hyper cars
This has to be one of the best sounding V8's ever built
McLaren P1 GT-R is one of my favorite hyper cars
Well, I didn't expect THIS to be the next car you got to thrash around Anglsey. Fantastic.
One of my favorite car channels of 2016. It used to be /DRIVE but we all know they've gone to the shitter. EVO provides the objective qualities (lap times) and subjective qualities (Jethro pooing himself on camera) that I look for in a car video. Great job!
When did they test the 488 gtb??? It was equal to the 675lt. Shown at 7:57 leaderboard.
Did they post that video already or is it coming???
No, the video of 488 test is not available at the moment, u can see whole test on the latest EVO magazine
All of the deficit to the road going P1 is in the tires.
When Jethro Bovington enters the room you stand at attention, eyes forward, hand over heart.
wow, so many rich and smart people on RUclips comment section.
Can we have the full lap onboard video please? the sound....oh god that engine sound! ty EVO ;)
Wow great photography!!
Holy shit Jethro even the in car feed was scary, heroic drive.
Epic video as always by the guys at EVO
Good job Jethro. One could tell you pushed the beast to the ragged edge on that hot lap. I should like to see Radical let you have a V8 RXC (not the 500 Turbo) and some slicks for a couple days to do similar.
Why the rainbow colors? regardless incredible piece of engineering.
James Hunt livery
Javad Gul gay owner.
I think it looks awesome tbh. Of course theres nothing like naked carbon but hey not bad
For some reason first thing it came to my mind was Peugeot rally livery.
Amazing driving experience and professional review too.
2 seconds faster than the radical , in this type of circuit ,
that is just ridiculous, what a beast this car is
うおお～っ!? マクラーレンP1GTRのドリフト走行だ～！😆😆
Yeah Ron Dennis has got the cosmetics of this car spot on, flashes of Le Mans car everywhere. It wont be long until its Baron Dennis of Woking.
I could listen to the sound of the exhaust all day. And I just might.
Would love to see the 911 GT3 Cup car on the same track too. Come on EVO, shouldn't be too hard for you guys!
That is absolutely insane.
Oh...that final slow mo shot of it going over the hill!!!
& who the hell thumbed down??? What is wrong with you???
What a machine, those turbo spools made me smile
Damn I can't believe a gt3 rs and turbo s can keep up with HyperCars on a track it just shows the perfection of Porsche
just wait for the gt2
This track is a very small track with short straights, which plays to porsches strengths perfectly.
What do you mean the 488 and 675lt are faster than both porsches and theyre not hypercars
your right but look at the power and price difference between those cars
rudy gay it helps the track is tiny, the big Super cars can't stretch their legs
Almost 2 seconds faster than the 2nd fastest.... that's NUTS!!!
and to be noticed, 2 second faster over 70 second total, that is huge.
Yeah.... that's basically murder...lol
Keeping in mind its not road legal so it had all out race slicks.
WarsOfate lol 2 seconds is nothing
Kyle L. .... that's per lap.....
Car perfection

Incoming call from Ferrari to test the FXX-K in 3.....2.....1
I think Ferrari for starters can't match that.. Secondly, they are pussies.
but it was they who invented this type of car.
all the other came after the FXX
this is what you think. the Miura isn't the first supercar, but the first road supercar with central engine.
but that's not what I meant. i Mean they invented track hypercar, like FXX, 599XX, FXX-K, pagani zonda R, P1....they was the first with the FXX.
+Sean Hallissey Buggati is an engineering triumph not just a big motor.
Yeaaaa sorry dude but I think you're wrong there tbh mate. The Bugatti Veyron was defo the first hypercar, certainly the first car to earn the title anyways in terms of look, build, engineering, power, speed and cost.

when will you guys test the Ultima Evolution? would like to see what time that would do...
What is the song you loop into the video at about 9 minutes in please its beautiful?
The ending beautiful music suits very much with this car.

Why spent so much money if you can have a GT3 Race car for 400k euro including a set of spare parts. You can buy a small starter field of GT3 cars for that money!
Because this car is more an investment than a racing car. You buy it for that money, wait for it to grow in value and sell it.
Or you buy it because you are wealthy as **** and just want something to keep your standard P1 company in your vast garage.
This is more accessible than a GT3 car. Billionaires would probably end up crashing a GT3. More so, buying a P1 GTR gives you access to a team and iconic tracks around the world.

I don't care what other toxic car people say about it the P1 and P1 GTR will forever be my ultimate dream car
There should be a 50 lap race between the holy Trinity .
jerryl davis That would mess up all the batteries of the Holy Trinity.
jerryl davis I doubt the battery will last that long.
lol yeah even 5 hard laps would likely deplete the batteries.
But the batteries recharge with regenerative braking or something like that . How does f1 car go without recharge ?
jerryl davis While it would to an extent, the amount of energy used will far outweigh the energy recovered via those methods. F1 uses two different kinds of Energy Recovery Systems (ERS), one similar to the P1 and one derived from the turbo unit.

where can I find the outro/music at the end?
While the P1 GTR is certainly manic and very, very impressive it should be noted that a) it is a borderline racecar with lexan side windows (not legal for road use in the USA) and B)It has drag or race slicks that would never see the light of day on a road car, etc. etc. The Porsche Turbo S can easily be modified and boosted to 1200 hp.
