Well, I've just about recovered enough to be able to type this! Thank you for all the great comments - it's hugely appreciated that you take the time to be so considered and supportive. One point that I've seen a few of you mention is the idea of a race series, which is certainly an exciting thought - with the downforce generated in this way, you could have cars following absolutely nose to tail with no loss in performance, which would be brilliant. G-suits might be necessary for the drivers though! Anyway, thank you again and please do share the film with others if you think they might enjoy it - spreading the word really helps us. HC
"brilliant"? er nope it would be rubbish because cars with ultra high DF to mass ratios make for dull racing because the tyres and drivers have to operate in such a narrow window of slip. And just like in F1, any contact that destroys the DF (kerbs, lumps, bumps and even being nudged by another car) means an enourmous hgih speed crash because suddenly you are going 3 times too fast (for the pure mech grip). The racing line becomes everything and any other geometrically longer path can now never be faster. Probably the best racing i've ever watched is the Goodwood classics where things like Mini's and Ford Galaxys run door to door, sliding from entry to exit,a ll with more power than grip and the lead changes 5 times a lap. lets not make all racing the snooze fest that is modern F1 please..........
Loved it - thank you HC and the Hagerty team. And finally - (excepting GMA) a hypercar that doesn’t just feel like an exercise in making a ton of money out of billionaires so they can be squirrelled away. Genuinely a car that is pushing boundaries.
This thing at Goodwood was a rare moment where raw speed alone was enough for it to be spectacular no matter how much or how little you knew about it, regardless (or in some ways partially _because_ ) of the lack of noise. Everyone knew they were witnessing something new and extraordinary. I'm not capable of imagining what it feels like at the helm, but kudos to Henry for trying to articulate it!
I've got to say as much as everyone minces on about noise I think it is overrated, as a 17 y/o I learnt 'he on the noisy bike gets nicked for speeding before the quiet bike rider'. Most of us who have been round long enough wear earplugs when circuit driving/racing because you really don't want to lose your hearing because of a hobby. Secondly I live near Castle Combe and know only too well how a noisy track is perceived by the general public. Once we switch over to EV racing we'll be able to use tracks 24/7 without any nimbys becoming apoplectic (well they may decide they do not like the lights...).
39.08s could stand as that record for some time to come. It's not just how skilled Max was, but how fast he must need to be able to think. Even this year in the downpour, and not intending on a record, and doing a stop and start.. still did about a 1 minute run.... mind blowing
I knew it was the next thing when the marshall at the line got scared when it took off. He had never seen anything like that in his life and the guy does what he does for a living seeing the top cars in the world in performance figures really. He jumped when this rocket took off. Was funny. I laughed when it happened and my wife didn't say a word when it took off. She was silent.
I've never seen Henry scared and terrified testing a car's 0-60mph as he was. No words necessary when you see the look on his face, it's a unique experience and an amazing bit of engineering.
@@3rdcoastpapi Pretty much, it seems mindbogglingly fast and I think Henry's mind was genuinely blown, but like most EV sports cars after a while it will just feel souless (I daily an EV, it's not slow).

28:30 m 10 K runner here ... without specific training ... except growing up at 900 m altitude and being 18 years old and having a knack for, well, running (but nothing else, I failed miserably at soccer, volleyball, basically everything other than running) ... but that's 33 years ago, not sure I could even do a 1 K lap today, with my 90 kg of fat-on-bones 🤣 Sorry, I know it's off topic ... hats off to Henry, it felt genuinely frightening, seeing him in that car.
Love this review. Your lack of words or being able to describe what you've experienced says enough. I literally got butterflies in my stomach watching how quickly it was going around the corners. Utterly amazing. And to your point, it's accessible. An airplane that can pull 6g's in the turns isn't accessible to the vast majority of us. This is truly epic and game changing. I can't wait to see what's next with this.
Years ago I watched a vid with HC driving an Aston Martin in Scotland. It genuinely gave me goosebumps. Henry manages to convey a sense of feeling better than any other in the automotive space. This vid was no different. And that McMurtry, what an incredible piece of engineering.
@@CiottiFPV yeah, I commented on some drone footage shot with one of the motogp bikes saying the bike must have backed off a bit, the drone pilot commented back that he had to back off in the corners 😂 110mph in a straight line.
Planes induce vertical G, as the plane has to bank, meaning you feel heavy from your head down through your chest and legs. With a car, it induces horizontal G, which is a completely different experience on the senses and organs. I’d say you did a great job to hold that in a circle for as long as you did without collapsing a lung!
Exactly , my God , just watching him just doing circles and figure eight you can tell what his body is going through , lol , then from a dead stop and hit it hard , the forces have to be unreal,, wow
Yes I was thinking about this. Pilots suffer from blackouts and redouts. The track driven here is akin to a military or NASA centrifuge, without the (now seemingly kindly) gyro rotation to curve that G force into your body vertically. This is something that may have some medical incidents in its future. Only time will tell. I know personally I would be miserable and exit this car with a stunning headache; I can barely handle steel rollercoasters' vibration levels.
I am so, so happy you reviewed this "thing". I've seen a couple or so reviews and always wondered how your eloquent way could explain it. Your hands shaking before the 0 to 60 really got me and helped me understand that, even with a very experienced driver, how this car would make you feel.
Yes => i immediatly was looking in the comments if anybody would have noticed => follow the end of the rims and follow it for 10 seconds how that tire goes about => amazing footage !
Utterly outstanding content. This channel just gets better and better. What an amazing machine and Henry did an exceptional job of trying to describe what must be just about indescribable when you've just been through the wringer in it. I don't think anyone could have imagined something like this even being possible just a year or two ago. What an achievement. Bravo to all involved. Can't wait to see more of this, my new favourite hypercar (or maybe we'll need to find another superlative, hypercar sounds too normal for this).
Can I just say, that not only do I very much appreciate Henry's brilliant story telling and presenting as well as the fantastic cinematography the team has been creating at Hagerty, but I also noticed that your team is shooting and formatting all of your latest videos to fit ultra wide displays. It's these details that make a huge difference to us consumers of content that care about the entire experience. Bravo. Keep it up you guys.
That 0 to 113 to 0 test got me thinking. Cammisa needs to ultimate drag race this with a twist. If my back of the envelop calculations are right he should take it from 0 to 175 (787 yards) back to 0 (another 533 yards). The quarter is done in 10 seconds and the car finishes parked on the finish line at the same time as the competitor crosses the line at 130 mph.
I've been reading and viewing Mr Catchpoles work ever since back in the EVO (print edition) days............so a long time fan of his style. Never have i ever seen Henry react in this manner!! He's wide eyed and borderline delirious!!! A tip of the hat to good you sir! Respect. 😍😍😍😍😍
"I'm looking so much further ahead than I've ever had to before in my life." This hits on so many levels. It's like he's having a transcendental experience.
I remember the first curve at the Goodwood hill climb where it looked unreal, like a curve bullet. The "over the limit" curve taking here was very interesting to watch, along with Catchpole's bodily reaction.
Thank you Henry for picking up where Chris Harris left. There are few journalists out there who communicate the experience of a car so well and actually enjoy the experience of driving rather than just how fast something is (ironic given the video lol).
Dear Henry, your work with Hagerty has been phenomenal. I've been following along with your reviews for a few years. I love the real, human side that I find you bring to your work. Makes it relatable. Never stop writing ✍️ ✨️
Henry you're one of my favorite journalists and you have a way with conveying with what so many of us viewers can only imagine and vicariously enjoy through your videos. I want to thank you for your words and experiences that we get to enjoy so much and this was one of my favorite videos you've done, this car is truly other worldly and probably the closest you can get a space shuttle on the ground, outside of a F1 car and something that's attainable, albeit for only a lucky few that can afford the asking price but still.
The reactions really convey how far this car takes itself from the regular performance car reference base. That sheer look of just 'but I thought I knew fast cars and then this emerged'.
My favorite thing about this car is how no one that drives it ever looks ok afterwards. They all look like they're about to be sick and can barely talk
Henry, I have great respect and love of your version of motoring journalism, often watching you working performance cars hard with a cool head and composed mind, it really is the measure of the McMurtry to create the largest eyeballs I have ever seen you wearing. I saw the car do a demo run at Goodwood (Sunday) in the dry, and it ran 39 seconds. The winning Sunday shootout car, the magnificent McLaren Solus managed 45 seconds. I watch youtube stuff everyday, and every once in a while something special comes up, you and the McMurtry is such a thing. Bloody marvellous
F1 cars manage 2x the lateral forces, at 6G max, but only a small group of people can drive them properly, so we never hear about the feelings involved.
It’s the first time I’ve seen a “Henry” review . Thoroughly impressed with the content, style and delivery. Haven’t enjoyed a review as much as this for a long while . Also followed up with watching the Lancia review (another classic). Grown up journalism without the gimmicks . Superb
Thanks Henry for putting us in the driving seat and taking us through the experience ( beautifully created words and video)- an almost physical experience to watch! This video is as seminal to us car geeks as Tiff taking the McLaren F1 to Goodwood to ‘give it some stick!!’
@HenryCatchpole you're one of my favorite auto journalists. Certainly in the top 5. Love this stuff. I really wish we'd adopt the 0-100-0 metric over the 0-60. It's a much better indicator of performance.
This is an instant classic video! The sheer bewilderment on your face, Harry, was worth every second. What an incredible experience. Reminds me of all of those sci-fi movies that go from a vertical takeoff to hyperspeed before they reach a few hundred feet. Always wondered what those poor passengers looked like after that kind of gravitational punishment. Now we know. This is where that worn phrase, "what a thing" actually applies.
Those ships all have inertial dampers though! This thing doesn't. They should research it and create them... looks like they would be a popular option.
This is just amazing. I thank you so much for sharing this view into the future, you made an utterly perfect job and gave me the possibility to feel (thanks Henry!) this machine. The day a McMurtry goes to the Nürburgring is going to be my personal holiday.
“Show, don’t tell” Long time fan of Henry here, this might be the best review ever. I can almost feel the overwhelming grip rewiring my brain through the screen What a car and what a review
With this in mind I can now say we have reached levels of engineering that surpass human limits. Before cars could go shy below the best driver's physical and mental limitations. Now the human has to be superhuman to be able to push the real limits of such creation. Truly mesmerizing.
Just love your reaction to it. Could you imagine Jeremy Clarkson or jay Leno faces being pushed back in this? Nice to see a magnificent machine. British engineered 👏
I'd love to have a longer uncut driver point of view shots like from 4:00 to see what its like. The quick cut scenes with the drones shots are cool, but I think it doesn't convey just how fast it's going. Just my 2 cents.
Truly TRULY special. This one here represents the first great leap in car tech since F1 got turbos+downforce to begin to work together properly in the early '80s.
@@jeffmellow not just that. other cars (such as the VW that won Goodwood before it) have been quick and/or nimble, and they are wondrous to behold....but this car demands that whatever you thought the word "quick" to _used to_ mean - it just is not adequate anymore.
Fabulous Henry! Never seen fear in your eyes before. A truly incredible car and an excellent review as always! Not seeing enough reviews from you these days.
@@P1Fanatic Not sure about that. I'm pretty sure it would blow away anything else but for the outright record I think the 919 Evo would likely have a top speed advantage (on top of also being crazy fast and making huge downforce). This car would have an advantage in the slower speed corners over the 919 Evo for sure though.
@@gbgt2 I guess it depends for how long that top speed differential is utilised over one lap and if they can increase top speed of the spierling. I just hope they try as its amazing that we are even talking that such a small company can build a car to match or possibly beat such a beast of car built by one of the goliaths of motorsport.
What a video, well done Henry for putting your feelings forward, such cars deserve the disruptive respect akin to 4WD and Group B rally cars, technology that we will enjoy on road cars someday in the future.
Several years ago, on a strange whim, I think after digging out an old Tamiya Hornet RC car while cleaning up a bunch of junk, I went and bought the latest Traxxas RC. I quickly out-demanded that car, and went with the fully loaded Rally VXL, brushless motor, got the big LiPo battery, the works. That changed my whole viewpoint on vehicle dynamics, and even electric propulsion, When I can START AS A CAR IS GOING BY AT 30+mph, and catch up before it’s a car length ahead, that’s quick. That little car could hit my recorded top speed on my side street of 54mph within 5 seconds, most of that spent trying to keep it straight. With better alignment and chassis integrity, it could easily hit 60 in less than 3 seconds. Scale that up 10 times. And that shriek of the RC was cool too. I seriously thought at first in this video they were filming an RC, as it sounds and moves JUST like this car. Amazing.
Great video, really glad to get a proper sense of the car's otherworldly performance. Incidentally the difference in G Force between this and a stunt plane is that an aircraft can only apply force 'vertically' to your body. When you turn in a plane, you firstly bank the plane over, then you apply force vertically up with respect to the aircraft to make the turn. Conversely in a car, the car remains flat and the force is applied sideways to your body as you turn. So even the same level of acceleration (force) will feel quite different when applied sideways to when applied vertically.
Just an excellent segment. The response of Henry to the first 0-60 run was overwhelming he looked uncomfortable even a little scared. To his credit he went with it and the result was that I could feel it and that to me is brilliant reportage. I am a director and have been lucky enough to do a lot of work with Military aviation. My first flight In a jet fighter was at Tyndall AFB in an F-15B. The pilot asked if I drank. Trying to be cool I said “hell yes” “good” he said as we started our take off, “you can pull more Gs”. Wait WHAT!!! We pulled an AB take off and gun camera shows 7.8 Gs. I saw a blue ball but luckily did not puke or pass out. I tell because watching Henry after the first drive I saw the combination of awe, fear and joy at being in something that could produce those feelings. Thank you and outstanding piece!
You know that this auto is otherworldly when it can elicit this kind of reaction from such a seasoned driver/operator. Definitely "put the wind up him proper" as our across-the-pond cousins say. Or in the infamous words of one Thomas Chong; "..kinda gets ya by tha' boo-boo, don't it?..." Amazing content, thanks ya'll!
Phenomenal engineering and phenomenal video guys. Henry, videos like these are the reason why you're my fav RUclips car journo! Pure passion for what you do that you convey so well! Can't wait to see the customer version review! Utter madness!
I would love to see this lined up on an F1 grid with the other F1 cars. This I feel would demonstrate a ‘real world’ comparison. Not driven in isolation but leaving something truly fast - behind. Fantastic film Henry.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever been so moved any piece of automotive journalism ever. Hats off to the team of engineers who built the car, the production team at Hagerty and Henry. Henry is probably the most incredible automotive journalist of our time. Edit: I didn’t know he was also an elite athlete as well haha.
But at first it will have to do something other tham impress some jounalists. Hope they take it around the world and set some laptimes. 919 ist waiting for a challenge ;-)
The question is do other high performance car manufacturers need to look at this or just view it as a one off thing. Is this car to much for human physiology
@@allensaunders449 If you read or watch things about other high power EV's the conclusion is, that they all are too much for the driver. Maybe we've reached the end and manufactureres start to make some small and fun cars again that can be used. Just as in the bikes world. More scramblers, adventure bikes and coffee racers are appearing because superbikes are just too fast for the roads. A new Elise would be wonderfull. EV with 400 miles of range and under 1000kg ;-)
The expression in your eyes, so much data processing going on every millisecond. We know about your abillities behind a wheel, I have no further questions. Well done!
They should make a spec sprint series for these. The compact size and that they aren't sensitive to dirty air should make for very close and fast racing.
On the subject of G force. Fighter pilots go through extensive training and physical conditioning to withstand the G forces they endure, but those G forces are almost entirely in a longitudinally oriented direction. Yes, airplanes can fly sideways, but not for long and not with enough sustained Gs to approach what this car is doing. The lateral G forces of 2.8 is astounding. Asserting maybe a 190lb weight for our host, that’s 532lbs he’s feeling as his innards press so forcefully against the side of his rib cage. No wonder he was breathless. I’m kinda surprised it didn’t give him nausea. But that’s just the body. The brain deals with this in ways we have yet to fully understand, aside from studies done on the aforementioned aerospace pilots. Tread lightly.
The imagery and sound remind me very much of slot cars I had as a teenager;..lightning quick with unrealistic cornering.Incredible and well worth watching.
We recently tested the McMurtry here too, we'll be posting our video over the weekend! It's an absolutely incredible machine! When the fan comes on it turns into something like no other. What a great experience it was!🙌🏻
er, on a modern F1 circuit it wouldn't see which way an F1 car had gone tbh, let alone be able to race against one for 2 hours. F1 is 4.5 g on the brakes, up to nearly 5g in the bends, and they have a power to mass ratio of 1300 bhp/tonne There is also the not inconsiderable fact that F1 spends hundreds of millions eaking out every last millisecond of laptime through absoluet optimisation, not something that a company the size of McMurty is realisically going to manage
@@maxtorque2277 What? Based on your comment, you clearly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Zero clue. F1 cars have NO DOWNFORCE AT ALL compared to this car at anything below 160 mph. Literally a fact.
Indeed it did (albeit in testing, not in a race), but the point Harry is making is this car develops that downforce at any speed, even standing still or in reverse.
holy crap, seeing him fly around the corner you really feel like the video is sped up :D That thing is crazy. Imagine a version with even more downforce. This thing could break like the lap time of Porsche 919 on The Nordschleife i feel like
I want to see that, I would even contribute to a crowd funding campaign to see it happen. 👍🏻 Also want it to see it run pikes peak I bet Dumas record would fall to this. 😎
In that tight right turn in a circle, the driver was just shy of "G-Lock" like a fighter pilot. Dangerously close to passing out, hence the feeling of light-headedness.
I've never heard of sideways G lock. I'm more convinced it's so bizarre experiencing what may feel like driving around on a big cone, constantly being pressed to the left. That can be pretty nauseating.
@ECN forward, reverse or side to side. Extreme pressure on the brain and blood flow will induced "G-Lock". To prevent it in fighter aircraft, pilots have pressure pants that force all blood into the upper body and won't allow it to pool in the legs and torso.
First video I’ve seen. You really nailed this one. Good commentary and reflective thought was fantastic. You really showed speed on camera. Great work!
I guess car guys don't actually learn physics in school. You cannot put a small battery and flow 750 kw through motors for long, which is why this was only run on a 40 second hillclimb. It's about as high tech as lighting a rocket. A 60 kwhr battery at 1000hp or 750kw output will last 4.8 minutes. As for fan downforce...it was a stupid idea in 1970 and never won a race, it was a dangerous cheat in 1978 when Murry "invented" it for the second time. Greatest British engineering feat since the hovercraft.
@@truantray a 60 kwh battery at 750 kw output will last 4.5 minutes but you forget the regenerative braking. And a Chiron eat all his gas tank under 10 min at 250 mph. it doesn't mean the car can't sustain more 10 min in a track.
The faces made had me in tears, what an amazing machine. that's intimidating to see , makes me think were pushing the limits or just discovering new heights
I desperately need to see a professional lap time of Silverstone and the Nurburgring with the faster version of this car. I bet it’ll break the record for the Nurburgring by a matter of minutes, rather than seconds. What a machine.
This car is what happens when you not only understand how physics can work for you, but also the FIA isn't there to ruin the fun (as they're prone to doing whenever somebody comes up with a clever idea).
Wow. A flawless, piece of perfection, this video. Possibly the most incredible 'thing-that-moves' planet earth has ever seen. It's like someone has taken a SR-71 Blackbird (perhaps shrunken it down a tad), put four wheels on it, and is driving it around at full tilt! The gentleman presenting is just a master-of-his-craft.... And then some. Doubt anyone could possibly be better at their job to be honest. Fair chance I will re-watch this a decent chunk of times in future. 😃🔥♥️👏😍👍👌😁⭐
This seems like it would be ideal for F1 drivers in the off season for training. Being able to dial in the amount of Downforce you want and keep your body accustomed to it may end up being beneficial.
One of the first enthusiast owners will most likely give it a go. I think you would want a cleared track to yourself. NOTHING will see tia coming from behind

Always a pleasure to watch your videos!
I wonder how it would change the landscape of accidents, there would be probably much less high-speed wall spinouts.
"brilliant"? er nope it would be rubbish because cars with ultra high DF to mass ratios make for dull racing because the tyres and drivers have to operate in such a narrow window of slip. And just like in F1, any contact that destroys the DF (kerbs, lumps, bumps and even being nudged by another car) means an enourmous hgih speed crash because suddenly you are going 3 times too fast (for the pure mech grip).

Years ago I watched a vid with HC driving an Aston Martin in Scotland. It genuinely gave me goosebumps. Henry manages to convey a sense of feeling better than any other in the automotive space. This vid was no different. And that McMurtry, what an incredible piece of engineering.
0:39 What's equally impressive is that drone is able to keep up with it whilst ascending. Incredible shot.
I would say it is impressive to see for the first time a drone unable to overtake a car on some track
5" FPV Drones (which are what was being used here) will run 1 - 100 in about a second mangling this car, but after 100 the car will just walk away
@@CiottiFPV yeah, I commented on some drone footage shot with one of the motogp bikes saying the bike must have backed off a bit, the drone pilot commented back that he had to back off in the corners 😂 110mph in a straight line.
Planes induce vertical G, as the plane has to bank, meaning you feel heavy from your head down through your chest and legs. With a car, it induces horizontal G, which is a completely different experience on the senses and organs. I’d say you did a great job to hold that in a circle for as long as you did without collapsing a lung!
Exactly , my God , just watching him just doing circles and figure eight you can tell what his body is going through , lol , then from a dead stop and hit it hard , the forces have to be unreal,, wow
Yes I was thinking about this. Pilots suffer from blackouts and redouts. The track driven here is akin to a military or NASA centrifuge, without the (now seemingly kindly) gyro rotation to curve that G force into your body vertically. This is something that may have some medical incidents in its future. Only time will tell.
I know personally I would be miserable and exit this car with a stunning headache; I can barely handle steel rollercoasters' vibration levels.
I am so, so happy you reviewed this "thing". I've seen a couple or so reviews and always wondered how your eloquent way could explain it. Your hands shaking before the 0 to 60 really got me and helped me understand that, even with a very experienced driver, how this car would make you feel.
The tyre bead at 8:38! Barely holding on! Another superb video by Henry and the team👏👏
Yes => i immediatly was looking in the comments if anybody would have noticed => follow the end of the rims and follow it for 10 seconds how that tire goes about => amazing footage !
Utterly outstanding content. This channel just gets better and better. What an amazing machine and Henry did an exceptional job of trying to describe what must be just about indescribable when you've just been through the wringer in it. I don't think anyone could have imagined something like this even being possible just a year or two ago. What an achievement. Bravo to all involved. Can't wait to see more of this, my new favourite hypercar (or maybe we'll need to find another superlative, hypercar sounds too normal for this).
A hyper-pu**y car. It grips so well you can drive at full speed without fear of slipping out.
If ever a video showed how absolutely insane this car is, this is it, Henry looks terrified and he has driven some very fast cars, great Job
You can see it in Henry's eyes how crazy this car's performance is.
looks actually distressing
Henry was at his limits.
@@shaun1900THAT'S the word I was looking for! Distressing. 😁👍
Yes it's like Catchpole 🐈 chasing dogs 🐕 tail
Can I just say, that not only do I very much appreciate Henry's brilliant story telling and presenting as well as the fantastic cinematography the team has been creating at Hagerty, but I also noticed that your team is shooting and formatting all of your latest videos to fit ultra wide displays. It's these details that make a huge difference to us consumers of content that care about the entire experience. Bravo. Keep it up you guys.
That 0 to 113 to 0 test got me thinking. Cammisa needs to ultimate drag race this with a twist. If my back of the envelop calculations are right he should take it from 0 to 175 (787 yards) back to 0 (another 533 yards). The quarter is done in 10 seconds and the car finishes parked on the finish line at the same time as the competitor crosses the line at 130 mph.
Mat Watson did a drag time.
This would be the most epic 10 second pass in history! 10 seconds parked at the finish, beat that suckers🤣
I've been reading and viewing Mr Catchpoles work ever since back in the EVO (print edition) days............so a long time fan of his style. Never have i ever seen Henry react in this manner!! He's wide eyed and borderline delirious!!! A tip of the hat to good you sir! Respect. 😍😍😍😍😍
What happens when the world’s most laid-back automotive journalist drives the world’s most not laid-back car?
With the car that is the definition of No Chill.
It's like Mr bean having sex with Romi Rain
Both eyes in the same socket for a bit there, I think.
@@Neojhun I imagine it has plenty of chill. The underside of that skirt is probably very chill indeed, just due to PV=NRT. 😁
@@deltavee2😂
"I'm looking so much further ahead than I've ever had to before in my life."
This hits on so many levels. It's like he's having a transcendental experience.
I remember the first curve at the Goodwood hill climb where it looked unreal, like a curve bullet. The "over the limit" curve taking here was very interesting to watch, along with Catchpole's bodily reaction.
Catchpole V McMurty. 'Been waiting for this and not dissappointed. Thanks for this.
Thank you Henry for picking up where Chris Harris left. There are few journalists out there who communicate the experience of a car so well and actually enjoy the experience of driving rather than just how fast something is (ironic given the video lol).
The 0-100 was absolutely bonkers! I’m in love! I think this has to be my favorite new car I’ve seen in the last 10 years.
Dear Henry, your work with Hagerty has been phenomenal. I've been following along with your reviews for a few years. I love the real, human side that I find you bring to your work. Makes it relatable. Never stop writing ✍️ ✨️
Henry you're one of my favorite journalists and you have a way with conveying with what so many of us viewers can only imagine and vicariously enjoy through your videos. I want to thank you for your words and experiences that we get to enjoy so much and this was one of my favorite videos you've done, this car is truly other worldly and probably the closest you can get a space shuttle on the ground, outside of a F1 car and something that's attainable, albeit for only a lucky few that can afford the asking price but still.
Biggest takeaway is being able to run a 10k in 34 minutes!
🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️💨
@@Hagerty ^^ did that last runner toot?
@@JasonCammisa Hi Jason! Love your videos as well as the carmudgeon podcast, much love from Poland!
@@kjyu Hi! Thanks much and greets back from California!
@@JasonCammisa will this video come up in a future podcast? Please say yes!
What an incredible machine. The sounds, looks, design, everything 🤙💯🔥🔥
I was blown away watching the goodwood lap with this beast. I'm also blown away by Henry's composure driving such a high downforce car!
The reactions really convey how far this car takes itself from the regular performance car reference base. That sheer look of just 'but I thought I knew fast cars and then this emerged'.
My favorite thing about this car is how no one that drives it ever looks ok afterwards. They all look like they're about to be sick and can barely talk
Matt Watson from carwow had the best reaction imo. I literally felt joy from his reaction. This vehicle is insane!
I seriously think this thing is a mind-f*ck. It seems to break people’s brains. Very few cars do this, so it’s damned impressive.
Let’s have Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton drive it
Yeah i was just thinking about that!!!
Most drivers are not trained for high g-forces
Henry, I have great respect and love of your version of motoring journalism, often watching you working performance cars hard with a cool head and composed mind, it really is the measure of the McMurtry to create the largest eyeballs I have ever seen you wearing. I saw the car do a demo run at Goodwood (Sunday) in the dry, and it ran 39 seconds. The winning Sunday shootout car, the magnificent McLaren Solus managed 45 seconds. I watch youtube stuff everyday, and every once in a while something special comes up, you and the McMurtry is such a thing. Bloody marvellous
Excellent content Henry, doing justice to the game changing McMurtry - so pleased for the “not sped up” comment as it’s almost impossible to believe
AMAZING ENGINEERING ! WELL DONE!
The amount of pull you can see on the outer tire sidewall is CRAZY !
Big props to the drone camera pilot 👍
F1 cars manage 2x the lateral forces, at 6G max, but only a small group of people can drive them properly, so we never hear about the feelings involved.
It’s the first time I’ve seen a “Henry” review . Thoroughly impressed with the content, style and delivery. Haven’t enjoyed a review as much as this for a long while . Also followed up with watching the Lancia review (another classic). Grown up journalism without the gimmicks . Superb
Thanks Henry for putting us in the driving seat and taking us through the experience ( beautifully created words and video)- an almost physical experience to watch! This video is as seminal to us car geeks as Tiff taking the McLaren F1 to Goodwood to ‘give it some stick!!’
@HenryCatchpole you're one of my favorite auto journalists. Certainly in the top 5. Love this stuff.
I really wish we'd adopt the 0-100-0 metric over the 0-60. It's a much better indicator of performance.
This is an instant classic video! The sheer bewilderment on your face, Harry, was worth every second. What an incredible experience. Reminds me of all of those sci-fi movies that go from a vertical takeoff to hyperspeed before they reach a few hundred feet. Always wondered what those poor passengers looked like after that kind of gravitational punishment. Now we know. This is where that worn phrase, "what a thing" actually applies.
Those ships all have inertial dampers though! This thing doesn't. They should research it and create them... looks like they would be a popular option.
This is just amazing.
I thank you so much for sharing this view into the future, you made an utterly perfect job and gave me the possibility to feel (thanks Henry!) this machine.
The day a McMurtry goes to the Nürburgring is going to be my personal holiday.
I think your reaction says it all about this one. Unreal.
“Show, don’t tell”
Long time fan of Henry here, this might be the best review ever. I can almost feel the overwhelming grip rewiring my brain through the screen
What a car and what a review
Forget about Formula 1 and Formula E. The world needs Formula MS (McMurtry Spéirling)!!!! As always, awesome video! Bravos Henry and team!
I just want to see this try to beat the Monaco lap record
@@samkwant4050 it's doubtful it could complete a flying lap at Monaco.
Can't believe there's going to be an actual car similar to the Red Bull Fan Car from Gran Turismo.
@@truantray Um... what? Are you deaf? Blind? Did you watch the video?
With this in mind I can now say we have reached levels of engineering that surpass human limits. Before cars could go shy below the best driver's physical and mental limitations. Now the human has to be superhuman to be able to push the real limits of such creation. Truly mesmerizing.
Just love your reaction to it. Could you imagine Jeremy Clarkson or jay Leno faces being pushed back in this? Nice to see a magnificent machine. British engineered 👏
WHAT A MACHINE ! I can already imaging it !
Clarkson would look like a puddle of melted ice cream with a face.
@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 brilliant 🤣 but me off ice cream now thinking Jezza face in it 🫠
(((Ariel atom flashback)))
@@looped7979i can hear that😂
Thank u Hagerty for doing the first full interview on this machine this is a GAME CHANGER this is the only car that matters GAME CHANGER
I'd love to have a longer uncut driver point of view shots like from 4:00 to see what its like. The quick cut scenes with the drones shots are cool, but I think it doesn't convey just how fast it's going. Just my 2 cents.
Truly TRULY special.
This one here represents the first great leap in car tech since F1 got turbos+downforce to begin to work together properly in the early '80s.
What an absolutely cartoonishly capable car. Holy smokes. There’s genuinely nothing else like this.
Only because the rules of racing dont allow it.
@@jeffmellow not just that.
other cars (such as the VW that won Goodwood before it) have been quick and/or nimble, and they are wondrous to behold....but this car demands that whatever you thought the word "quick" to _used to_ mean - it just is not adequate anymore.
Fabulous Henry! Never seen fear in your eyes before. A truly incredible car and an excellent review as always! Not seeing enough reviews from you these days.
Can you even imagine taking a lap around the Nürbürgring in this outrageous, mind boggling machine?! 😱
Surely has to be capable of beating the 919 Evo tribute lap record?
In the right hands it might lap the nordschliefe in under 5 min.
@@P1Fanatic Not sure about that. I'm pretty sure it would blow away anything else but for the outright record I think the 919 Evo would likely have a top speed advantage (on top of also being crazy fast and making huge downforce). This car would have an advantage in the slower speed corners over the 919 Evo for sure though.
@@gbgt2 I guess it depends for how long that top speed differential is utilised over one lap and if they can increase top speed of the spierling. I just hope they try as its amazing that we are even talking that such a small company can build a car to match or possibly beat such a beast of car built by one of the goliaths of motorsport.
You need a fighter pilot for that🤯
What a video, well done Henry for putting your feelings forward, such cars deserve the disruptive respect akin to 4WD and Group B rally cars, technology that we will enjoy on road cars someday in the future.
Several years ago, on a strange whim, I think after digging out an old Tamiya Hornet RC car while cleaning up a bunch of junk, I went and bought the latest Traxxas RC. I quickly out-demanded that car, and went with the fully loaded Rally VXL, brushless motor, got the big LiPo battery, the works. That changed my whole viewpoint on vehicle dynamics, and even electric propulsion, When I can START AS A CAR IS GOING BY AT 30+mph, and catch up before it’s a car length ahead, that’s quick. That little car could hit my recorded top speed on my side street of 54mph within 5 seconds, most of that spent trying to keep it straight. With better alignment and chassis integrity, it could easily hit 60 in less than 3 seconds. Scale that up 10 times. And that shriek of the RC was cool too. I seriously thought at first in this video they were filming an RC, as it sounds and moves JUST like this car. Amazing.
Great video, really glad to get a proper sense of the car's otherworldly performance.
Incidentally the difference in G Force between this and a stunt plane is that an aircraft can only apply force 'vertically' to your body. When you turn in a plane, you firstly bank the plane over, then you apply force vertically up with respect to the aircraft to make the turn.
Conversely in a car, the car remains flat and the force is applied sideways to your body as you turn. So even the same level of acceleration (force) will feel quite different when applied sideways to when applied vertically.
Wow, that looks astonishing. I felt a bit queasy watching some of that on board footage.
Excellent content as always.
So glad you landed at Hagerty. I enjoy you auto journalism very much and hope to see many more of your works to come!
As ever Henry, beautifully crafted, delivered and executed.
Just an excellent segment. The response of Henry to the first 0-60 run was overwhelming he looked uncomfortable even a little scared. To his credit he went with it and the result was that I could feel it and that to me is brilliant reportage. I am a director and have been lucky enough to do a lot of work with Military aviation. My first flight In a jet fighter was at Tyndall AFB in an F-15B. The pilot asked if I drank. Trying to be cool I said “hell yes” “good” he said as we started our take off, “you can pull more Gs”. Wait WHAT!!! We pulled an AB take off and gun camera shows 7.8 Gs. I saw a blue ball but luckily did not puke or pass out. I tell because watching Henry after the first drive I saw the combination of awe, fear and joy at being in something that could produce those feelings. Thank you and outstanding piece!
You know that this auto is otherworldly when it can elicit this kind of reaction from such a seasoned driver/operator.
Definitely "put the wind up him proper" as our across-the-pond cousins say.
Or in the infamous words of one Thomas Chong; "..kinda gets ya by tha' boo-boo, don't it?..."
Amazing content, thanks ya'll!
Phenomenal engineering and phenomenal video guys.
Henry, videos like these are the reason why you're my fav RUclips car journo! Pure passion for what you do that you convey so well!
Can't wait to see the customer version review! Utter madness!
I would love to see this lined up on an F1 grid with the other F1 cars. This I feel would demonstrate a ‘real world’ comparison. Not driven in isolation but leaving something truly fast - behind. Fantastic film Henry.
I want to see it against a Formula E car too.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever been so moved any piece of automotive journalism ever. Hats off to the team of engineers who built the car, the production team at Hagerty and Henry. Henry is probably the most incredible automotive journalist of our time.
Edit: I didn’t know he was also an elite athlete as well haha.
This car is simply insane 😃👌. I think the McMurty is definitely going to go down in history as an all time great 🤩
But at first it will have to do something other tham impress some jounalists. Hope they take it around the world and set some laptimes. 919 ist waiting for a challenge ;-)
The question is do other high performance car manufacturers need to look at this or just view it as a one off thing. Is this car to much for human physiology
@@allensaunders449 If you read or watch things about other high power EV's the conclusion is, that they all are too much for the driver. Maybe we've reached the end and manufactureres start to make some small and fun cars again that can be used. Just as in the bikes world. More scramblers, adventure bikes and coffee racers are appearing because superbikes are just too fast for the roads. A new Elise would be wonderfull. EV with 400 miles of range and under 1000kg ;-)
The expression in your eyes, so much data processing going on every millisecond. We know about your abillities behind a wheel, I have no further questions. Well done!
They should make a spec sprint series for these. The compact size and that they aren't sensitive to dirty air should make for very close and fast racing.
there is a tiny problem, that it might lift more debris than a standard extractor
race them in an indoor stadium, that would be nuts to see. Stig in an R35 GT-R flashbacks, anyone?
Got to see this go up the Hill at FOS last year, and you could see it was something very different, amazing piece of engineering.
Seeing such an understated chap, so totally flummoxed make me enjoy life just a little bit more.
You know what i loved the most about this video (film?)… I got the point and significance before you even said it.
So thank you for the journey.
On the subject of G force. Fighter pilots go through extensive training and physical conditioning to withstand the G forces they endure, but those G forces are almost entirely in a longitudinally oriented direction. Yes, airplanes can fly sideways, but not for long and not with enough sustained Gs to approach what this car is doing. The lateral G forces of 2.8 is astounding. Asserting maybe a 190lb weight for our host, that’s 532lbs he’s feeling as his innards press so forcefully against the side of his rib cage. No wonder he was breathless. I’m kinda surprised it didn’t give him nausea. But that’s just the body. The brain deals with this in ways we have yet to fully understand, aside from studies done on the aforementioned aerospace pilots. Tread lightly.
Not impressed. My shifter kart on a cold skid pad at Willow Springs sustains 2.2 G's. No wings, No vacuum. $5,000 cost.
0 to 60 in 1.3 seconds is insane. That’s almost dragster acceleration.
I can't even breathe while watching Henry launch the car. Stupid insane acceleration
Loved this car since its record run. So happy to see Henry get behind the wheel. Well done!!
The change of direction is unreal
The imagery and sound remind me very much of slot cars I had as a teenager;..lightning quick with unrealistic cornering.Incredible and well worth watching.
I haven't seen genuine terror for a long time. thanks 😊
We recently tested the McMurtry here too, we'll be posting our video over the weekend! It's an absolutely incredible machine! When the fan comes on it turns into something like no other. What a great experience it was!🙌🏻
er, on a modern F1 circuit it wouldn't see which way an F1 car had gone tbh, let alone be able to race against one for 2 hours. F1 is 4.5 g on the brakes, up to nearly 5g in the bends, and they have a power to mass ratio of 1300 bhp/tonne There is also the not inconsiderable fact that F1 spends hundreds of millions eaking out every last millisecond of laptime through absoluet optimisation, not something that a company the size of McMurty is realisically going to manage
@@maxtorque2277 What? Based on your comment, you clearly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Zero clue. F1 cars have NO DOWNFORCE AT ALL compared to this car at anything below 160 mph. Literally a fact.
10k in 34min?! As a runner by myself for ages I have to admit, that this is a pretty impressive time for a non-professional. WR 26m11s.
crazy impressive
Made me feel slow as well, as I've only run 36:20. I knew he was fit but man, 34 min for 10k is really moving...
No way Henry did that. The McMurtry scrambled his memory. 😆
I heard that and thought: that's not shabby! Reading your comment I realize I was thinking about 10k km, not 10k miles, which would be crazy!
I was proud of my sub-20min 5k, now I feel like a wuss 😂
That chase drone must be mind bendingly fast. This car sounds like so much fun. It’s great seeing Henry Catchpole again. It’s been a good day today.
Great video Henry. This car is truly bonkers.
Upside down burnout. Spoken like a true engineer car guy. 👏🙌
Amazing. But group C cars could do 5+ g in corners. The Toyota TS010 supposedly broke the ribs of 2 drivers in the same race.
Indeed it did (albeit in testing, not in a race), but the point Harry is making is this car develops that downforce at any speed, even standing still or in reverse.
Isn’t that at really high speeds though? The Murtry’s speed is tuned down due to it being focused for good wood.
Love all the engineering involved with this car mind blowing, great explanation of the functioning form of this beautiful Masterpiece. Bravo !!!
holy crap, seeing him fly around the corner you really feel like the video is sped up :D That thing is crazy. Imagine a version with even more downforce. This thing could break like the lap time of Porsche 919 on The Nordschleife i feel like
I want to see that, I would even contribute to a crowd funding campaign to see it happen. 👍🏻
Also want it to see it run pikes peak I bet Dumas record would fall to this. 😎
Brilliant review Henry, thank you. And what an incredible car, just astonishing performance.
In that tight right turn in a circle, the driver was just shy of "G-Lock" like a fighter pilot. Dangerously close to passing out, hence the feeling of light-headedness.
I've never heard of sideways G lock. I'm more convinced it's so bizarre experiencing what may feel like driving around on a big cone, constantly being pressed to the left. That can be pretty nauseating.
@ECN forward, reverse or side to side. Extreme pressure on the brain and blood flow will induced "G-Lock". To prevent it in fighter aircraft, pilots have pressure pants that force all blood into the upper body and won't allow it to pool in the legs and torso.
G loc is like 5 gs no?
@Geoff it's whatever is required for the blood to pool in your lower body depriving your brain of blood and causing you to blackout.
@@UnDisclosedb0ss Exactly! 👍
First video I’ve seen. You really nailed this one. Good commentary and reflective thought was fantastic. You really showed speed on camera. Great work!
The 0 to 113mph and back to 0 was bonkers
I would love to see it do a qualifying lap during a formula E race and set a time😲
I guess car guys don't actually learn physics in school. You cannot put a small battery and flow 750 kw through motors for long, which is why this was only run on a 40 second hillclimb. It's about as high tech as lighting a rocket. A 60 kwhr battery at 1000hp or 750kw output will last 4.8 minutes.
As for fan downforce...it was a stupid idea in 1970 and never won a race, it was a dangerous cheat in 1978 when Murry "invented" it for the second time.
Greatest British engineering feat since the hovercraft.
@@truantray Wow. You sound fun.
@@truantray a 60 kwh battery at 750 kw output will last 4.5 minutes but you forget the regenerative braking.
And a Chiron eat all his gas tank under 10 min at 250 mph.
it doesn't mean the car can't sustain more 10 min in a track.
The faces made had me in tears, what an amazing machine. that's intimidating to see , makes me think were pushing the limits or just discovering new heights
I desperately need to see a professional lap time of Silverstone and the Nurburgring with the faster version of this car. I bet it’ll break the record for the Nurburgring by a matter of minutes, rather than seconds. What a machine.
Yea, looking forward to that.
Cool shot at 8:38, the car trying to break the bead on the tire, very impressive to have the corner grip to do that!
This car is what happens when you not only understand how physics can work for you, but also the FIA isn't there to ruin the fun (as they're prone to doing whenever somebody comes up with a clever idea).
Imagine if formula E cars were like this?
We don't have a funky sound - let's allow fans and active suspension
Wow.
A flawless, piece of perfection, this video.
Possibly the most incredible 'thing-that-moves' planet earth has ever seen.
It's like someone has taken a SR-71 Blackbird (perhaps shrunken it down a tad), put four wheels on it, and is driving it around at full tilt!
The gentleman presenting is just a master-of-his-craft.... And then some. Doubt anyone could possibly be better at their job to be honest.
Fair chance I will re-watch this a decent chunk of times in future.
😃🔥♥️👏😍👍👌😁⭐
If I didn't know better, I would think we're watching a scale RC car in action. What a glorious machine!
This seems like it would be ideal for F1 drivers in the off season for training. Being able to dial in the amount of Downforce you want and keep your body accustomed to it may end up being beneficial.
Nurburgring record breaking run when?
Would probably half the current record
One of the first enthusiast owners will most likely give it a go. I think you would want a cleared track to yourself. NOTHING will see tia coming from behind
That is ridiculous, never seen reactions like that from a seasoned journalists. Impressive.
