Here's Why the McLaren F1 Is the Greatest Car Ever Made

this is a

mclaren

f1 and it is quite simply the best car

ever

made

it was built in the mid 1990s it was the fastest car in the world and basically has no equal it is also quite valuable as one of these sold in 2017 for around 16 million dollars and this one is probably a little more valuable than most because it belongs to jay leno yeah that's right i borrowed jay leno's

mclaren

f1 and today i'm going to check it out to start off i should mention you can check out jay's garage leno on youtube which is a fantastic show w

here

jay reviews a lot of cool cars that i could n

ever

get my hands on and sometimes he shows off cool stuff with his own cars you can also check out jay leno's garage on cnbc which is also a fantastic show w

here

jay does cool stuff with all kinds of cars because jay leno lives the car enthusiasts dream and this car might be the best example that the mclaren f1 is generally considered one of the me Best cars of all time Many cars are considered by car enthusiasts to be the best car ever

made

.

The F1 was designed in the early 1990s with the goal of being the ultimate road car and McLaren made just 106 of them, including just 64 regular examples of McLaren F1 road cars like this one right there. there are only 64 of these on the entire planet and yes they are worth millions of dollars probably around 20 million for this example which is an incredible number but then again this car has an impressive legacy it was the oldest production car fastest in the world for over a decade which is a big deal because the title of fastest production car was constantly in contention throughout the 1980s, five different cars held the title at one point or another and then it came out in 1993 it did over 240 miles per hour and nothing beat it for a decade then there is the racing success of this car in 1995 the mclaren f1 gtr which is basically a racing car version of this car it took part in the 24 hours of le mans, which is the most prestigious.

It was an important drag race in the entire motoring world, it won outright by beating purpose-built racing cars, even though it was essentially just a racing version of a road car that came with turn signals and a license plate. license plate it was amazing and of course there is a lot more than that this car has a 620 horsepower bmw v12 it has three seats it has gold in the engine bay it has a modem and today I'm going to show you everything first I'm going to take you on a tour of this car and show you all the quirks and features of perhaps the best car ever made then take it out on the road and then give it an excellent score and for more of my f1 thoughts click here Click the link below to visit AutoTrader.com Oversteer, where I also wrote a column on what it's like to spend the day in Jay Leno's McLaren F1. and features of the mclaren f1 up here on this front compartment specifically i'm going to start with Opening this front compartment it's pretty similar to any other car you pull a little lever in the footwell and then it opens up a little bit and then it goes through in front and you can pull up the rest of the way and then it's open and as you can see this is not a storage compartment there are storage compartments in this car but we'll get to those in a second instead this one has a couple of cool items one is the cd changer this is a kenwood 10 disc cd changer that was made specifically for the mclaren f1 and the reason it was made especially for the f1 is because the engineer of this car gordon murray didn't find regular cd changers light enough for this car so this is a specially lightened cd changer just for the f1 so how exactly do you get a specially lightened cd changer?

Well, this one has aluminum magnets inside. How do you make aluminum magnetic? He takes aluminum and then sprays it with an iron file and Jay told me that saved like six ounces. but anywhere you can save weight counts in a car like this another item you have here is the tool kit that fits in this nice little pocket in the front compartment like you would be pulling your mclaren f1 on the side out of the way but again lightness was an issue here they wanted everything to be as light as possible and that includes the tools in the tool kit obviously i can't show you this on camera but they are incredibly light they are titanium they are like the most tools lightweight which I have felt again only to save a few ounces compared to regular tools.

Other notable items in this front compartment, you can see that there are four different lids where you can put various liquids. Both in the back. The red ones are for brake. fluid and then you have the gold which is clutch fluid and the blue in front which is windshield washer fluid or as they call it screen wash I also like the fact that there are some mclaren f1 warning labels under here my Favorite is the one that says This area must be kept clean and dry. you just push this silver button on the outside that has a keyhole on it, you push it and then the door opens and you have these cool butterfly doors that are hinged along the A-pillar across the windshield that the designers of this say car were inspired by the toyota sarah which is a small japanese compact car that came out about five years before the mclaren f1 and had similar doors so the inspiration for the crazy world biggest mclaren f1 door design came From a little Toyota now, obviously.

I'm going to go in and show you all the quirks and features of the interior, but first I wanted to cover the doorjamb. You have two latches on the doorjamb, one marked e and one marked l. Now you pull the one marked l and open this side storage bin now that you saw in the front that the front trunk isn't really a trunk it's full of things so you can't store anything in there but mclaren didn't want them to want to to make this car usable and so they integrated a storage bin into the side of the car and actually a surprisingly large one if you're wondering why the latch is marked l that's because it's the luggage compartment l for surprisingly fairly simple luggage there's a second compartment on the other side that also opens like this and that's a bit more interesting I'll get to that in a few minutes it's also worth noting that this compartment hides two interesting items this carbon fiber panel covers the battery but also contains this plaque detailing many of mclaren's race victories which is a strange place for him you also see that red button that activate the modem.

I have dealerships and technicians all over the world, so the modem was meant to make it easy to connect a computer to remotely diagnose problems from the factory. If something went wrong, of course, the modem is now old technology and only works with a very specific. compact computer that went out of production decades ago but mclaren still uses those computers to solve problems that come up in these cars now the other latch on the side here marked e that's a little more obvious you open the engine cover you pull that and opens and I'll get to that in a minute.

Next we get into the McLaren F1 and obviously the first thing we notice is that this car has three seats, yes that's right, the driver sits right in the middle of the car. it's better for visibility for performance you're smack dab in the middle i mean this is how all cars should theoretically be set up it's just not very practical in most cars but it worked on this one so the driver it's in the middle and then the driver is flanked on either side by two rear or side seats so if you have a passenger in the mclaren f1 they can decide which seat they want to sit in you want to sit on the left hand side of the driver or the right hand side that's an option you don't have on a lot of cars but you do on the mclaren f1 now obviously this improves practicality as it can carry one person more than basically any other supercar there has ever been and when you combine it with those little storage bins on the sides it's actually a relatively practical car jay also told me that sitting in the middle seat here has a visibility d pretty good because you're so far forward in the car that you're basically in front of the A-pillars so they can't hide like pedestrians and crosswalks and you can't see them and also sitting in this position basically means you're so high up that you gives the opportunity to circle around you. one of the most advanced things on this car unlike a lot of vehicles where there's a big long hood in front of you that you have to deal with it's an interesting idea it hasn't been repeated since but the mclaren f1 is famous for it now talking about the Seats.

There is a lot to be said about the seats in this car starting with the fact that they don't move when you buy a mclaren f1 even though this car is over 20 years old they are still measured by the factory and then they go through and fit the seat perfectly to its size and specifications so that the seat is in place obviously if the seat was on rails or it was a power seat which would add weight so a fixed permanent seat was thought to be the best way to keep the weight down and its the same with the steering wheel the steering wheel doesnt move either but again the factory will perfectly tailor the location of the steering wheel to your preferred driving position when you buy a mclaren f1 and its the same I deal with the pedals that can move them f forwards or backwards a little bit based on where you want to sit so when you buy a Maclaren F1 all of this is not very configurable for you but you can set it to your exact specifications in size for The optimal driving position now another The cool thing about the seats in this car is the seat belts.

The passenger seats on both sides have fairly traditional regular seat belts on the left side. What would normally be the driver's side. The seat belt comes out on the left side of the car. passenger side the right side comes out of the right side of the car pretty standard pretty simple in the middle is a bit different essentially there are two seatbelts one on the right side and one on the left side and you put them together and then buckle up but It's worth noting that this car doesn't have a racing harness or six point belt, it's just a standard car seat belt, it's a bit different than normal due to the center seat configuration and the fact that There isn't a pillar directly behind the seat where you can mount the belt now, once you're seated in this car the next thing you'll ask is okay how do you lock the door? there, how do you do it?

It turns out that the door handles on this car are in the roof of the door. The door curves a little bit over the roof over the passenger seats and you grab one of those door handles and that's how you pull. the closed door is actually quite easy even if you're sitting in the middle seat it takes a bit of reach but you can get there of course your next question is how do you open the door how do you get out because if you look at the dashboard the door, there is no door handle on the door panel, so how do you get out of this thing?

Well it turns out that mclaren integrated the interior door latch into the base of the passenger seat, so it pulls this metal latch. and that's what opens the doors, it's sort of tucked down there, never e. I was hoping the door latch would be on the seats, but it's in this car, it actually makes sense, you pull it, the door opens and you're out from another item built into the base of those seats, you can see next to the door latch is a little storage pocket again, making this car a bit more practical than you'd expect from a standard supercar now because the seat is in the middle which gave mclaren the opportunity to flank the driver with controls to put some controls on either side instead of having one big center control sucked that it's full of buttons and they took advantage of that opportunity, still there's passenger legroom on either side but there's also these little carbon fiber tunnels that flank the driver's seat on either side with controls and let's start again I'm going to the left and that's where you have the parking brake you can see it's just a pretty standard parking brake you pull it up to engage it you pull it down to disengage now next to the parking brake over here you also have the stereo controls which are pretty standard stereo controls you have the one on the top is power and volume you also have bass and treble which are little dials you can turn it looks prettynormal except there's a pretty cool control on this car and that would be, you can see under the volume dial there's a dial for plus and minus so ok change the disc or track to your preference you see the button below it changes the disc or track if you have it on top you have the disc on then when you turn the small style plus minus it changes the disc you are listening to, if you have it down then you are changing the track and then when you adjust a little more or the negative dial changes the track you're listening to actually that's a brilliant idea and it saves them from having to put separate dials to change the record and change the track now there in this little switch compartment you also have it just has the switch power window old power window switch push it up or down the window rolls up or down pretty simple now next we move on to a couple of cool things that happen c When you put the seat in the middle and I'm going to start with the rear view mirrors now this car has a giant air intake on the roof that brings air into the engine and so the rear window is actually split into two parts, there is one on the left and one on the right so you have two separate rear windows on this car to look out and in the middle where that air intake comes in the engine doesn't have a rear window now this would normally cause a problem , but mclaren has come up with a cool solution: you have two wing mirrors, one for the rear window on the left and one for the rear window on the right, so you can always look behind you, but instead of in a car normal where you are looking at one rearview mirror, on this car you are looking at two, it also has two dome lights, you can see there is a dome light on the left and a dome light on the right double the light it's a roof and the mclaren f1 who knew now with that being said even though it has two rear windows and two roof lights and two mirrors, there is one thing that can subtract by putting the seat in the middle and it would be the sun visors, you only need one So this car has just a mid-mounted sun visor flanked on either side by wing mirrors.

Just a car set up like that. On the left you have a button for the defroster, you have a button for the fog light, and then you have a dial that you can turn that puts the car in high downforce mode. I try not to get too technical in these videos but I'm told that that turns on some fans under the car which improved downforce and looks like it may have some effect on the rear wing which moves a bit now to the right of the group of indicators, you have three more buttons, one is the headlights just turn them off On the headlights, then you have the hazard lights and then you have the wiper dial that you can turn to adjust the speed when you have the wipers on intermittently now talking about the wipers, This car has a standard windshield wiper and turn signal. stock comes off the steering column and i say standard because they are actually pulled from bmws from this era this is the same turn signal and wiper blades you would find on a lot of bmw models back then which is crazy to me but bmw provided the engine and these things aren't cheap to do so mclaren must have asked bmw for help with the wiper and turn signal actions too then we move on to the steering wheel which is quite small you can see that the center says f1 v12 and the steering wheel has some unusual controls to the right of center you can see the horn icon but you don't press it to sound the horn instead you reach behind the wheel and pull a little paddle and this is how you honk on a mc laren f1 and in case you want to know what it sounds like meanwhile on the left side of the wheel same story you can use the turn signal to flash the high beams, but if you want to turn on erlas for more than just a flash there's a paddle on the left side of the steering wheel where you can press the paddle and the high beams have a different use of the steering wheel paddles than we're used to now as far as the gauges themselves in actually they are pretty standard on the left it has the water temp fuel oil temp in the middle it has the tachometer it goes up to 8 and it says f1 and on the right it has the speedometer it goes up to 260 miles per hour i don't see many 260 speedometers miles per hour especially on vehicles that could theoretically get pretty close to that number now under the gauges you have two displays on the left and right they show information like your odometer your trip meter what kind of thing now around the gauges obviously it has a dash that looks like a pretty standard dash except the steering wheel is in the middle and at the bottom of the dash you have ai outlets re conditioned you have two on the left and you have two more on the right so you have four air conditioning vents on this car all of which flank the driver which is a good idea because if you're sitting here you can have all four air conditioning vents blowing on you at once or you can give each passenger one and you've still got two blown away since you're sitting right in the middle another center seat benefit now next you're probably wondering how you turn this on , so we'll get to that, there's a little plate here. on the right it says f1 mclaren and it shows the serial number of your exact mclaren f1 it also has the key slot you insert the key in there and then you turn it and then you're not done you have to lift this little cover and there's a little red button you press that button and that starts the engine gives you a kind of fighter plane feel every time you start your mclaren f1 now in front of that little plate that says mclaren f1 with its serial number there is a separate plate that says fastest of the world production car and explains where he set the production car record and precisely how fast it was 240.14 miles per hour and that plaque is on every mclaren f1 just to remind you as you drive down the road that you are driving the fastest car in the world world as if sitting in the center seat isn't enough of a reminder now then step down from there to the passenger seat i'm sitting in you obviously have the pal Shift lever and below it has the gear shift pattern this is a six speed manual and the pattern is explained just below the actual lever and it also has the reverse which has a rare function.

There is a small lever with a red arrow pointing down to engage reverse. You have to pull that l. anyone remove the reverse lock and then you can shift to reverse so you don't accidentally switch to reverse it's just normal reverse lock but unusual operation now under the gear stick in gear lock in the back which is on the right hand side of the driver the climate controls you can adjust the temperature you can adjust the fan speed you can turn the recirculating air on or off there are also two other buttons on that little switch panel one of them says light which turns the lights on from the roof so if you ever wondered how to turn on the roof lights on a mclaren f1 it's that little button to the right of the light button it has a button marked lock it automatically locks the doors the mclaren f1 has auto locks and this is how you do it now under all the climate controls and those buttons you have another window switch obviously this control to the window on the right hand side of the car and then you have power mirrors and that's the power mirror or control for the mclaren f1 i knew this car doesn't have floor mats but it obviously has this very custom carpeting that fits the mclaren f1 perfectly so which has the passenger footwell and the driver footwell fully carpeted and looks great and fits great and then we move back into the mclaren f1 and move on to the engine and i specifically want to talk about opening up the compartment now i mentioned earlier that you can do it by pulling the little latch on the door jamb marked e that opens the engine bay but it's actually a little more interesting than that because you have one of those latches on each side on either the door jambs so you can choose which side of the mclaren f1 you want to enter.

You can also choose which side you want to use to open the engine bay, but once you've done that you pull the little latch e, it comes to this position and then you carefully open it and that reveals the glorious b. mw v12 under the hood as i mentioned 620 horsepower and this is a very special engine bmw did not put this engine in any other road car it was just the mclaren f1 and was effectively developed solely for the mclaren f1 the bmw 850 csi shares a somewhat similar base design but basically everything else was custom built just for this car by bmw and is essentially a racing engine because this engine with just a few modifications is what mclaren ended up putting in the car of f1 gtr racing that won le mans and then bmw took this engine modified it slightly and put it in their own race cars that competed in le mans and other endurance races so this is a pretty serious engine indeed an engine of racing in a road car now you may be wondering how did the mclaren f1 end up with a bmw engine apparently the engineers mclaren designers wanted honda to make the engine when they developed they developed the f-1 they were comparing cars like the lamborghini countach and the ferrari testarossa and then appa Rental one of the designers of the car drove the acura nsx that car made a great impression on the mclaren team because it was very balanced and serene, And great fun to drive without being overpowered and crazy like many other exotics in that period.

The McLaren team approached Honda and said, could you build us an engine to put in our supercar? And Honda didn't want to do it so after a couple of times trying to convince Honda McLaren it finally went to BMW who built the engine now. Next, a couple of other cool items in the engine bay. I want to start with possibly the most unusual which would be the rear windows. Now I showed you before that the rear windows are split in two, but something I didn't realize is the engine compartment. the deck has its own two rear windows which means the mclaren f1 has four rear windows there are two at the rear of the passenger compartment and then there are two more on the engine cover so there are four rear windows ws on this car matching all four climate control vents other cool items you can see it says bmw m power right there on the engine printed right next to mclaren reminding everyone it was a bmw powertrain on this vehicle and it can also see how the roof scoop where it sucks in air and takes it to the engine you can see the working of that with the engine cover you can also see that the engine cover is held up by a single hydraulic hit truth is this is fiber carbon. it's just not that heavy and therefore doesn't need anything other than a single hydraulic strut in the middle now the other cool item back here something I didn't really realize is the fact that this car has two engine covers you see the one that it's currently open but there's a second one too, this one here now, the smaller one can only be opened once the larger one has been opened, the larger one holds the smaller one in place and the smaller one just covers the exhaust. and this part of the car gets very hot so there was some fear that the heat would damage the carbon fiber at the time this was the first all carbon fiber vehicle so mclaren was wondering how do we keep the heat separated of carbon fiber. they didn't know what to use as a heat shield they settled on gold that's right this stuff here isn't just something that looks like gold it's real gold designed to keep heat inside this engine bay and away from the body of the damaged car the rest and so every mclaren f1 has 0.8 ounces of gold under the hood which acts as a heat shield which is quite impressive and obviously tremendously interesting by the way another item to keep in mind while I'm back here looking at the engine obviously the mclaren f1 production car speed record has been broken by several other vehicles the bugatti koenigsegg etc but its worth noting every car that has broken the speed record since this car It's had forced induction this was the last naturally aspirated car to hold the production car speed record I felt it worth mentioning and next I want to move on to the exterior r of the car, where there are enough interesting details and features to mention. i want to start with the mirrors the biggest sports car ever made the fastest production car in the world borrows its mirrors from the volkswagen corrado which was a small volkswagen hatchback sporty coop that was sold in theUSA from 1990 to 1994 it's amazing this special amazing car has the same mirrors as a little volkswagen that a lot of people have forgotten it's a pretty simple part if you ever break a mirror in your mclaren f1 just search jar yards the volkswagen corrado is also simple the lighting on this car is not particularly unusual or crazy like a lot of modern supercars have crazy lights see the front lights are just lights and rear is even simpler you have a brake light and you have a turn signal not really There's plenty to it, the wheels are pretty plain too, just regular old five spoke 17 inch wheels. mclaren f1 day but it is becoming more and more common on exotic cars and sports cars nowadays that being said although the wheels are not particularly special i want to bring to your attention mclaren f1 valve stem covers yes , it has unique valve stem covers they say f1 on them i wonder what a set of these would be good for on ebay today probably as a big other cool item on this car is the side windows you can see it has a big side window but it's split into two parts kind of like the subaru svx and only the bottom part actually rolls down the top is fixed jay told me the reason they split it into two parts is to add strength by making it two pieces this little line that crosses makes it a little bit stronger so when you drive it at 240 miles an hour it won't break which was a problem i guess with a giant glass panel on the side of the car and then not s we move to the passenger side or on this car I guess right on the right hand side where we have the other trunk again you pull the little l and the trunk on this side opens once again surprisingly large now i told you this side was more interesting than the other side and there are two reasons for that one is because this is where you add motor oil you can see you can remove this cap and you can add motor oil right here and there is a little warning label that says to check the oil level immediately after running the engine so every time he drove this mclaren car he meant to have it checked for the oil which is not a common procedure on many cars but this is not a lot of cars now , the other reason it's a little bit more interesting on this side is because this side contains the case and the case contains the owner's manual yes that's right this is a mclaren f1 specific case it says f1 you open it up and we're going to go over a couple of the quirks and features of the mclaren f1 owner's manual here's the first page of the owner's manual manual the introduction and obviously I invite you to pause and read it for yourself my two lines My favorite is the first paragraph where it says that the McLaren F1 applies solutions to all the inherent shortcomings of mid-engined sports cars but the best line is the last line where it says that as a McLaren F1 owner you will receive the same attention that you helped that nikki lauda elaine prost and ayrton senna were multiple f1 world champions that's great moving forward you can see the owners manual is pretty simple but it's full of these really nice hand drawn renderings of things that I love and will pass on a few pages so you can look at them while i'm doing this it's worth noting that the f1 also came with its own special wristwatch which jay told me all Avía has the best watch out for people who know the best part of the F1 owner's manual, although this is where he explains the best procedure for getting out of the car, at least according to this bumper doll and that's a quick tour of the owners manual two other interesting and noteworthy items in the mclaren f1 case one is the fact that it also includes a special flashlight in case you need to light your way in the dark and then there is a separate book that would be the book Service and Maintenance Registration Form which has its own interesting quirks to me this is even cooler than the owner's manual because it starts with several pages explaining the car's original handwritten specs presumably at the McLaren factory 20 years ago. mention the luggage set that came with these cars mention the red stripe on the side this car has and it goes through the original position of the pedals the seat and steering wheel as ordered by the first owner though the coolest part is probably the the firm of gordon murray who pretty much took the car from start to finish with a specific vision of what he wanted from the best sports car another interesting article on t The exterior of the car is the fuel filler is it on the driver side or just the left side and you can see it says pb it's the chemical symbol for lead and then through it so no lead or no lead to open the fuel filler you have to use a wrench that is different from the wrench you use on the car ignition there is a special key and speaking of the key if you are like me you have probably always wondered what the ignition key looks like for a mclaren f1 and here it is this is the key for mclaren f1 sol or there are 64 lucky people here with one of these plus a few other race cars and prototypes and then there were some special builds that brought it up to 106 but there aren't that many of these keys out there yet and those are the quirks and features of the mclaren f1 now i mentioned that i would take this car out on the road but i didn't say that i would drive it instead of the owner of the car is going to drive it that would be jay leno who is going to take me for a ride here in the los angeles area and tell us how it is Driving the McLaren F1 well the cool thing about this is it's still a passenger car it's not rough driving yeah you know a sports car so you put up with it how often do you? drive it maybe once a month or every six weeks something like that, yeah are you nervous when you drive it?

You can't throw it away the way you wouldn't be out or something. It's a house, right, but you're not worried, a guy like Sienna, if you go to Honda Odyssey, he won't see you and that will be, you know, this car is like riding a motorcycle, I never take it. when I have to be somewhere, yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm not taking chances, yeah, this car leaves on a Sunday morning, you know, yeah, early on a Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon, right, no I'm in this car on a Saturday night driving through Hollywood. true, i don't take it to the clubs, i don't valet, i don't go to restaurants, yeah, that kind of thing, how long have you had it? 20 years 20 years yes, maybe a little over 20.

Are you surprised that values ​​have gone where they have that this car has become the best car in everyone's estimation? yes i'm the trick to making money from cars if you're easy to get to know and enjoy it as a hobby and buy what you like there's a good chance other people will like it too but this car you bought without realizing that i would you became but you liked it i liked you thought it was cool you thought it was special yeah i mean i liked it for what it was i never thought i'd fall for it so much but i never thought it would become what it's become do you?

Do you agree that people say it's the best car ever made. Do you agree with all that? Well, I think it's the

greatest

sports car of the 20th century. last true analogue high performance sports car has nothing on this car there's no anti-lock right there's nothing right therefore you'll never see anything like that again and this was gordon murray's idea of ​​what the car should look like Perfect car, extremely light and nothing was compromised. even down to the smallest washer they would shave them so they would know a millimeter of whatever it is yeah yeah that's what it does because unlike a committee designed car where people have a million. different people have to approve a million different things exactly exactly what you uh it's weird sitting in the middle not sitting in the middle is really the ideal position because the pill is far enough back that you have perfect vision and allows you to position the car in the middle of the road i got a dodge viper and that looks huge i mean she'll drop anything wow no aids no traction control anymore that was fourth gear on the tires and you're just, We're just, it's not a car to give to your 16 year old.

Is it weird to have people on top? every side of you is a stranger because you're behind me so it still feels pretty normal i can't see you the acceleration is obviously explosive and that was crazy yeah it's actually pretty cool but it weighs the same as the miata when you got 627 horsepower. The interesting thing about pure design is that it is pure. It doesn't necessarily surprise anyone, but it is relaxing and lasts a long time. 60s 50s whoa look at that and then wow that looks ridiculous ok ok ok do you keep up with other f1 owners?

Do you have a small fraternity of the few that exist? It's an interesting question you know they get so expensive you may not be a type of car you have to know something else first yeah I don't like cars is it the most exciting of your cars the one you really want to get yourself into kick?, go and get in, well, you know p1 is very good, yeah, I mean, I'm in awe. because of the p1 because of its technology and this is another mistake it's the super tight steering is it really connected the steering is great i mean you see what it does i mean and you see i'm not stepping on the gas i'm just getting comfortable you feel like the coolest guy in the world when you pull this out i feel like the luckiest guy in the world yeah you know the fun of this car is it will always fascinate you cause i'm not good enough to make it do what it's capable of yeah sure you know so never I'll really master it, but every time I put it out, I learn something and enjoy it, it's so linear, you know? ls7 engine i mean there's a lot of it it doesn't have this turban quality do you take people verizon or Often yes many times people may want to go for a ride because I'm sure this is the one , but people wanted this, I mean, I enjoy sharing my cars with people you know, sometimes you have a lot of pain on the Internet.

You're sure? Don't know. I mean, when I was a kid, I would have loved to ride something like this. I mean my favorite story just started writing. Tonight I received a letter from a 12-year-old boy, dear. miss leno, can you help me? I told my friends that you and my uncle on weekends go for a walk on your account. Could you take me to school one morning so my friends will think you are my uncle? but i was so i found this story so funny so i called this house i talked to his parents and i said yeah i'll do that so i go out to his house and i pick him up you know and we wait until the school bus the kids are unloading and we pull up alright you know that kid gonna buy a fruit judge yeah he get enough money right right right every time he hit it or make it big whatever his field how been maintenance you work on it at the shop it's not cheap it's not camry no no but you guys feel comfortable doing it and it's not uh we do oil change for regular maintenance yeah have you had mclaren fly to do stuff to it or yeah there's a guy named penny it's fantastic i've been one of my thirds and you see hitler means it's an amazing car and that's the fastest production mclaren f1 car in the world for a decade almost 20 million dollar sports car a marvel of the engineering and maybe he

greatest

car ever made it's been amazing to have the opportunity to come here and see this up close and I hope you've enjoyed a deep dive into a car you just don't get to see that often and now with the help of jay leno who really drove the car time to give f1 a double score starting with the weekend categories and design the f1 is a beautiful car although it is more purpose-built than absolutely gorgeous like some others and gets an 8 out of 10.

Acceleration does 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and gets a 9 out of 10. Handling is as perfectly balanced and sharp as it gets and gets a 10 out of 10. Fun factor is obviously the highest you can imagine gets a 10 out of 10. finally the cool factor is at the top there is nothing cooler than this and it scores a 10 out of 10 for a total weekend score of 47 out of 50. Next up are the daily categories and features. It has more than you might expect given what it is, but it's not ultra-high-tech like a modern car and it scores a 2 out of 10. Comfort is surprisingly reasonable considering how fast and exciting it is and it scores a 3 out of 10 for quality.

It's tremendously high end with every possible item seemingly obsessed as this category also considers reliability and cost of ownership, though I'll drop it a notch for a 9 out of 10. The practicality is surprisingly high, not only sleeping three people, but which has more cargo space than you might expect and gets a 3 out of 10. Finally, the 20 million value is a lot to say the least, but it only gets one shot at the greatest car ever made and gets a 10 out of 10for a total daily score of 27 out of 50. and to add up the dig score is 7 400 making him doug's new score champ beating out all these other amazing cars car i think they nailed it right now i'm in one of my third ones and you'll see it will pull i can't believe you're driving it it would scare the hell out of me given the value yes it's scary yes it's scary even if you're the best driver in the world you know that guy might not be one thing you don't want to do is go out As a YouTube journalist in heavy traffic in Los Angeles at like five o'clock, that's the worst. things you can do with a car like this because something terrible is going to happen
