In 2015, the mighty V10-powered McLaren MP4-20 will be a 10 year old car. It is still among the fastest, most powerful, and best looking F1 cars of all time. Adrian Newey's [underappreciated] masterpiece is perfectly proportioned; it looked fast even when at a standstill. We can only hope that McLaren would fire up this monster and celebrate the V10 era the same way they always demo the MP4-4 and MP4-23.
@@deliriumbee4678 they're on par I'd say, not much in it bhp wise. I reckon these hybrid turbo units would edge it. I believe the high end V10s were producing around 900 to 1000bhp. The hybrid turbo units (ferrari and mercedes) would probably be chucking out over 1000bhp on full qualifying mode easy I reckon. But the torque would be a massive advantage in these new turbo engines. The V10 cars were far lighter and sound way better though, more spectacular.
I rate this car up there with his championship winning Red Bull cars.. of the cars not to win a championship I say this one is definitely Newey’s finest design alongside the 2009 Red Bull car and 2000 McLaren MP4-15
so glad, that my parents made me watching this period of Formula 1. I was 5 years old then and of course i can't remember a lot but just to know that i've seen races with this car, driven by my favorite driver Kimi Räikkönen (guess why?:D) is a pleasure!
The Mp4-20 is up there with his championship winning Red Bull cars of the early 2010s and his McLaren(98-99 models) or the 90s Williams,this is definitely one of Adrian Newey’s finest masterpieces not to win a championship alongside the McLaren MP4-15(2000) and Red Bull RB5. Plus this car’s V10 engine has a very distinctive sound
This cars unique engine sound can be explained if you slow the audio down. With each revolution the engine can be heard screaming “I’m gonna blow!” Followed shortly by a large plume of smoke and the shattered dreams of Kimi 😂
i watch this over and over and over. Consequence: Fall in love of both Kimi Räikkönen and the MP4/20 engine sound, from onboard and fixed camera angle.
This car had my heart hanging from the edge of a cliff the entire season, I remember how it had that unique slight overtone harmonic on downshifts when recorded from outside, it only added more drama to the whole thing ❤
Boa noite meu Amigo !!!! Absolutamente fantástico. Isso é música para meus ouvidos. Lindo demais. Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil......
Same man.. the feeling was so special as a kid, I was feeling like they were true warriors without a lot of electronic raw engine and shivers lol the times in 2005 when I heard that it was the last season with V10. I was 10. Now I’m still waiting for at least V8
Only with Kimi it looks impressive to watch frankly. In fact Kimi's 2003 and 2004 onboards are just as exciting. Kimi was the best driver. These McLarens were not easy to drive as his teammates all said, and Kimi flattered them.
@lol shit never said that they're slower, i just think they don't have the soul. (Also v6s are faster because they're newer. Also the technology at v10 times isn't the same with v6 time, it's improving day by day. That's why they're faster imo. I might be wrong though.
The cars were so loud and the microphones were also quite bad and they often broke so yes, you'd pretty much hear the car changing sound from the onboards
Still holds many lap records and is fastest car. Didint even have slick tyres allowed or DRS allowed or any kers buttons. Still holds many lap records, what are broken are just barely.
I'm a McLaren fan and will always be one. 2004 Ferrari or Renault sound better though. their engine noise at high revs is just creamier and more pleasant to the ear. McLaren is rougher and less harmonious.
Most beautiful car in F1 history.
I agree 😁
Facts
No.
1000% agree.
I agree
Many fans will remember this beauty.
Best F1 ever made
Kimi was so early on the throttle, its unreal and the front end bites in perfectly, a joy to watch

not with todays cars though. most records are now broken with the exception of monza. and 2017 cars look sick.
@@RinHera broken because of tyres kiddo those tyres have less grip on turns but the engine is far superior than todays in terms of power

@@richboy900 actually our current engines are much lighter iirc, but sound doesnt matter in terms of engines, like you said: torque and power.
MP4/20 is the real MVP, the one, the only.
Zoli Varga lol
It’s my favorite looking F1 car. Just looks super aggressive.
AET It was designed by Adrian Newey, nothing else to expect
That's my second fav Adrian Newey car. My favourite of all is the MP4/15.
Yeeees and MP4/21, they were my fav and the most beautiful F1 cars...
Man, look at the sound of the engine, his acceleration and his speed. That excites me. Good old days........
My favourite V10 of all-time!! McLaren Mercedes MP 4/20 2005!!!!
*****
Engine YES!!! Car not!! The McLaren looked way better!
Alan Cvrkovic
Speed records have always something to do with setup!! Fact is that the 920 HP of the BMW engine were unmatched!
@@windi1982 ferrari of 2004.
The best F1 sound ever
Alejandro Barbosa second the renault 2008
Nothing can beat the Ferrari V12
@@SchumiJr. The Honda 2019/20 V6 are also amazing
Tje best sound of an engine of formula 1 history
No, Honda is far miles away better
Always puts a smile on my face.. The glorious V10 and MP4-20.
MP4/20 is the absolute monster of Mclaren
Yes, the problem what the fiability :(
@@samuestiannano1425 I wonder why they didn`t cut some revs for better reability, this thing had big adv against renault of that year
@@siniyden true
That MP42005 is probably the sexiest car in F1 history! and with that v10 engine it was pure beast!

No it is not. Montoya finished in 4th in the WDC. Lmao. Pedro and JPM both said this car was hard to drive on the Michelins. Kimi made it work.
MP4/20 Canada Engine sound is by far my favorite engine sound.
One of my favorite F1 cars of all time.
Im crying rn :((( My fav car just amazing absolutely most beautiful f1car atleast for me
M0rphin Its one of the all time great cars , yes
One of the best onboard sounds of the early 2000's of all time.
You can really tell when he gets into the power, the airbox honk from this thing was incredible! Intake noise is underrated
i watch this over and over and over.
Consequence: Fall in love of both Kimi Räikkönen and the MP4/20 engine sound, from onboard and fixed camera angle.
This video deserves more views IMO !!! And more listeners!!!
I can listen to this all day. Its not the same nowadays in this hybrid era
7:00 to 8:52 is the best sound
If i can remember. That's at Montreal right???
@@さぼせんぱい Yes it is 👍
The high pitched part. Best one ever.
By far, this is the best engine sound ever in F1 history. Orgasmatic.
One of my favourite F1 cars
THAT SOUND

Beautiful Sound 💪👌
Kimis favorite F1 car!
The perfect racecar
Literally the opposite. Kimi was just awesome in this period and flattered all the McLarens. Look where Montoya was....

World’s greatest F1 car
Je ne me lasse pas du bruit de cette f1
5:18 to 6:59 it’s Renault’s engine and 7:00 - 8:52 Ferrari’s engine
Simplesmente incrível, bons tempos da F1
Az igen kiràly volt ahogy szòlt a v10!!
Nurburgring, Catalunya, Montecarlo, Canada, Australia, Bahrain, Hungary
Kimi should have won world championship with this car.
Too unreliable.
Missing that era😢

как же гладко работает, это удивляет
Why does the engine noise change during the Canadian GP clips to the Renault V10 noise?
Different gear Ratios and different fuel flow make the change.
marrface 91 The engine sound different in Canada and USA , yes.
yeah definitely it's not the McLaren sound there
@@le0shadow yea 6:59 it’s the Ferrari2005 sound
@@Dohmk it’s actually a faster Mercedes power unit used for Canada and China, hence why it sound more high pitched
"What music do you listen to?"

KIMI RAIKKONEN 😘

Kimi was the perfect driver, the perfect balance between speed and precision.
V10最高

5:09 why does the sound change on that straight?
+Ali Hernandez its two different recordings. the audio was just dubbed over a little late compared to the video change.
Epic and best
Does anyone know where I can find the full onboard video from Monaco?
IMrIMike lol many of us would like to know that too 👀
seeing this is like being in fast forward after watching 2days f1 which looks painfully slow
harrison jananto but it is actually faster nowadays 😂
Kimy and the V10 on the edge...
If it were not for reliability issues, Kimi would've won 05 title... such a pity

Why this car had 3 different sounds at the same weekend? (5:00 - 8:50)

the best sounding car of the v10 era imo. followed by ferrari f2004

Had the car been reliable, mclaren and kimi could've been in contention for both championships.
why does it sound so much like Renault at Canada gp?

Imagine this car with Active Suspension...
And with slick tyres, and drs.
McLaren MP4-20...Fast, but really fragile. Kimi would have won the title easily without all these engine failures
Kimi´s Mclaren sounds really different to Juan pablo´s one
@Aghilesh A no that's not true
@Aghilesh A it is 2005 itself. West was still the sponsor, but their name was censored to driver names because of tobacco advertising laws in Europe
Still holds many lap records and is fastest car. Didint even have slick tyres allowed or DRS allowed or any kers buttons. Still holds many lap records, what are broken are just barely.
back in the day when there was no talk about slow and shitty hybrid V6 engine's
Even though they are faster...
Esto es PORNOOO!!!!
Ban depan lebih besar daru pada 2024 sekarang
with coulthard and reliable engine, easy champion. Montoya made so many driving errors and gave away positions to Alonso, hmmmm maybe intentionally
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favourite McLaren apart from the 1989 Mp car. Super fast but unreliable.
I'm a McLaren fan and will always be one.
2004 Ferrari or Renault sound better though. their engine noise at high revs is just creamier and more pleasant to the ear. McLaren is rougher and less harmonious.
