The sound, the immediacy, the view, it's all just wow. Always loved that car, but honestly, if I had that kind of coin I'd fit a suitable set of wheels/tires and a decent rear spoiler.

completely agree with chris. If you got the coin, nothing else can really compare to this thing. NA v12, 6 spd, and 2600 pounds. maybe a carrera gt or f50 would come close.

Love Chris Harris and his videos. Great to see someone that has driven some of the greatest cars ever created to be so impacted by a car that was designed and developed 30+ years ago. No doubt McLaren F1 is a GOAT.

 But that also costs 3 million+  The F1 looks better though. Why can't they make cars like this but then around the 100k mark

its crazy that it has a v12 yet weighs less than a toyota 86. and was pulling faster trap speeds than an aventador svj on 30 year old tire tech. correction: Kerb Weight (Dry): 1,140 kg (2,513 lbs) Kerb Weight (with fluids): 1,260 kg (2,778 lbs)

I had the fortune to see one in person many years ago in PA. I stared at it for an hour straight because I knew I'd likely never see one in person again. GOAT for sure.

Be fun to drive the F1, the Benz CLK GTR and the 911 GT1 all in the same day.
And then if you could keep one, wonder which one it would be after driving them.

Saw one today. Exact same spec as the one in the video. It's always a bit jarring when you notice how small they really are.

I really enjoyed the video. You could tell how Chris was moved by the car.

Simply the greatest car there ever will be. Back in the late 90s I got to sit in a silver one while we were vacationing in London. I don't remember the exact specifics, I just remember it was all alone in a McLaren showroom, wasn't roped off or anything. I'll see if I can find some pictures as I know I have at least one lying around somewhere. I knew it was a great car back then but did not appreciate at the time just how legendary it would become (I remember being way more interested in the F50). No way I'll ever have an opportunity to sit in one again.

Great video. You know you’re in the presence of automotive perfection when Chris is at a loss for words. Truly special once in a lifetime opportunity for all to enjoy.
