CNET On Cars - McLaren P1: Harbinger of the hybrid supercar revolution - Ep, 58

cnet.co/1Kl6tK9
McLaren P1 on the track and on the street, CNET Style. How engines get their names and what it means. Also: CNET's Top 5 cars of last year.

[@etilhcir4645]

Keep coming back to this video.

[@s.flanders]

So someone who watches these videos owns a P1? Well I'll be damned.

[@imafilipino12]

it's just 1.2M............. not that expensive to others...

[@user-zw5ww9tz1j]

Yeah, it was me

[@goreddragon1]

KuBz 1.2 million dollars, no matter how much money you have, is still a pretty good chunk of money.

[@TheCuriousNoob]

Rich people need entertainment too.... it's not like the moment you become somewhat wealthy that your taste of all things "lower class" disintegrates.

[@s.flanders]

The Curious Noob Most wealthy people I've met are either always busy with work, spending their free time learning something new or building some skill, or doing something very fun and/or mindless. Rarely are they watching KZbin videos of car reviews. But I'm sure those exist, as well.

[@SS8styles]

Best P1 coverage, all my questions were answered. Cooley for president

[@ruhbanahmed3425]

Thanks for clearing the different engine types! You guys are the best!

[@87weens]

always a pleasure watching these episodes and eagerly awaiting on the next one, you can't make them fast enough. keep up the good work BRIAN COOLING

[@drjones694]

CNET on cars is back with a bang!! The engine size thing was really cool and something I always wanted to know

[@ajtronic]

CNET On Cars is becoming a favorite.

[@spadgm]

Subscribed, great episode and the host is a good guy and makes it enjoyable to watch.

[@XxViciousxX]

Very cool and informative episode.

[@andygreat423]

Great show! Keep it up!

[@BF3blog]

Surprised not to find the new S-class on the top 5 list.

[@TheAventadorSV]

It made the last list

[@k.alothman]

Gr8 Episode!

[@bshaw1003]

Nice breakdown on engine types Cooley...thanks

[@pauljoseph6373]

I just spotted (1) P1 in Santa Barbara, early this year - yet (3) in Moscow, two weeks ago. In person, these cars leave you speechless. And as with the Veyron, I lovw how they seem to look a notch smaller, in-person, yet mere anabolical!

[@pauljoseph6373]

love ** - sorry.

[@KingChevy239]

1080p Please....Atlease. Love the show!!!!

[@f0xxi3]

Great webisode!

[@Wbrooks01]

I think this was one of the best episodes so far! Totally agree with that list!

[@yoitsrami]

Finally..another episode of Cnet on cars!!!!! How long do we have to wait?

[@The_CoreyBrown]

I love Brian Cooley, especially when hes so happy! He would be an awesome guy to hang out with! Talk cars of course...

[@apheus27]

I believe CNET is finally listening to the users. The non-Cooley reviews are dwindling. Here's to 2015 with 150% more Cooley.

[@TheFairladyfreak]

In 1:33, he said "What a good Sports car this is", This is a huge understatement....

[@The416punchaman]

great video CNET! Thanks!

[@cdogg86]

CNET on Cars needs its own youtube channel

[@samhaokip9126]

At least we're watching the same video with the P1 owners lol we're already getting there man

[@3dRoma3d]

About time Cooley!

[@MrBucketlist]

Mr. Cooley you have a very cool job

[@UhhhhhnooOOo00oO]

Cooley does it again...just keeps getting better.

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

105 thousands problems Cooley? I like to keep my problems less than 40 thousand then wait a few years for depreciation and get my problems down to about half of that. 20,000 problems is my sweet spot

[@DigitalYojimbo]

So true cuz audi,

[@MrLalasd]

The RS models don't depreciate that quickly.

[@101aptbam]

Haven't you heard of the saying "Theres nothing more expensive than cheap Mercedes."? The same is applied to Audi, by the time this car is that price it'll be high mileage in be in the shop constantly costing thousands.

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

101aptbam yeah but not so much for lexus though or god forbid even the new genesis sedan, i kinda like it (hangs head in shame)

[@Trades46]

The R8 had a W8 engine? Not that I know of in production (prototype perhaps?), or did you mean the A8?

[@fewcarsgarage]

Brian never been out of place.

[@razhankers]

Brilliant

[@nevanranasinghe1658]

"THIS IS A REALLY COOL SPORTS CAR" quote Brian Cooley

[@nigolt.4345]

Super!!!

[@jby2009]

so which one is your favorite engine layout and why??

[@A7medMido28]

what is the tune in xcar between 17:25 and 17:35 ??

[@NeXMaX]

"And it's all been achieved using something that's been around for centuries; Brilliant British engineering" - Jeremy Clarkson on the McLaren P1. And WHAT?! Someone who watched this show OWNS a P1?!!

[@GregStew]

Oooooh that McLaren P1 is wicked sick!!! Ooooooh!!

[@Tain950]

Great episode

[@askaribr1]

man you are so smart to understand all of this... go go Brian Cooley

[@Chrisshao]

Epic.!

[@AOCreatrix]

The used price for P1 is actually 2.9 million according to dupont registry

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

wait what's this track called again?

[@914castro]

I'm a fan of your show. What about a video of ae86. ( Toyota Corolla) Yes!!!! Best old school car.

[@jumblum]

please do a review of porsche 918 too

[@MrStlover99]

I always loved McLaren, since the F1.

[@goreddragon1]

I was wondering how you got your hands on this car lol.

[@ethanklahn9799]

What track was he at with the P1? Was that Infineon?

[@patrickpelletier6315]

looks like it

[@shobin05]

Jay Leno gets 34Mpg with his P1, looks like the mpg numbers are really underrated

[@deacon_leon]

How cool is Brian Cooley, that someone would just lone him their McLaren P1 to put his foot in it around a race track?

[@BatmanMohanOfficial]

Watching this on my P1.

[@TheGarvito]

np cooley for lending you my car.

[@K3ha10]

He called the p1 a sports car..... I'm done.

[@aryaahmadi4029]

So, Are you insulted because you own a McLaren P1 or am I on the wrong track?

[@mak450]

Well shit, it's not like he called it a "gran coupe". It's a supercar, but what is that besides just a really fast sportscar? and he even called it a supercar not a minute later.

[@SelimxBradley]

I don't see how sports car is incorrect.

[@selfproclaimednobody4614]

donnyinlakai561 technically, it is a hypercar, so he's correct! You wouldn't call a Bugatti Veyron a sports car or better yet call a Pagani a sorts car! I'm pretty sure it was a sarcastic comment!

[@integritysolution1386]

We hope that means your inane posts will stop

[@mannysingh1084]

This Is my dream car

[@ssflipallday]

I don't know very much about engines, but if there's one thing I do know it's engine layouts. So the layouts list for me was more of a recap but the wankel rotary was actually new information, thanks.

[@timetodopatriotstuff2315]

In all these you tube super car I think they should start with giving us the head room measurements before they get my hope's up to high. Being six ft four with a long torso I doubt very much I could ever own a P1,it's hard to tell hoe tall Brian is but he seems to fit with the helmet on in this car.

[@patrickpelletier6315]

he's 6' 2" or something like that. he talks about his height in many videos when he demonstrates the back seats

[@alexutzu24ianuarie]

Cooley is the perfect host for this show

[@lordzevallos]

I believe motor trend got a 2.7 or 2.6 0-60mph

[@reyzuna]

this is the difference between Cnet and TopGear in terms of Driving XD hehehe but always a thumbs up for a great video though..

[@elliottmanning4116]

Wow! CNET On Cars has some affluent fans.

[@aventador101]

got your own helmet, nice

[@SteakChopBoy]

Look mom, I got a hybrid!

[@aquateen77723]

Anyone know which car is featured in the "ugly is included at no extra charge" intro?

[@hondajohn6948]

Volkswagen Jetta or Jetta wagon

[@aquateen77723]

Applekid​ Thanks a lot! I've been searching for that video for days! Cheers!

[@269KID1]

Toyota Camry...

[@aquateen77723]

It's the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDi. Thanks again Applekid​! That's a great car BTW.

[@claydog6422]

Audi Rules!! Love my A6 and my wife's Q5 Diesel

[@cpotisch]

The P1 only gets 17 mpg? I thought it was 34 mpg

[@DJaquithFL]

On the top 5 I'd agree with the Tesla but that's about it. Your list and obviously your opinions. There are a lot of great cars in 2014 from Mercedes, Hyundai, Lexus, even GM and Ford surprised me last year. In my area there's been a huge population growth in Maserati and Tesla.

[@DJaquithFL]

Sharfaraz Ahmed That's the problem, if you look at 10 cars the list is useless.

[@imranletsplay]

When I am older I would bid more than 10 times the price for a p1

[@CGMediaproductions]

"W8 in some Audi's"? while showing a V10 R8 engine? Brian what's gone in to you man?

[@GeorgeKnighton]

A little heralded, practical, everyday execution of this concept of "hybrid" is on the road in the form of the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid. Considering how Brian spoke of the McLaren, I think that perhaps he should put a Sport Hybrid through its paces in order to appreciate a real world application of this kind of technology: a very credible, large but good handling sedan with great performance...that still gets 30 mpg. 0-60 in 5s, too.

[@GeorgeKnighton]

Driving the RLX Sport Hybrid will also give you a rough idea how the system in the NSX Sport Hybrid is going to work. It's basically the same technology, but with the motor positions reversed.

[@Skylard399]

Who do I give the check too?

[@allanyvr1998]

Me!

[@huss1205]

the price is already over 2 million for the P1 I think or even more if someone wants to buy one, they are already an item for collectors...

[@ReeceReviews19]

I just want a 4 door sedan that looks like the Aston Martin Rapide 😍 a navigation system like the Maserati Ghibli🙌 with engines like Audi/Benz/Bmw 👑 , speed like a Ferrari or Lamborghini 💗shifts like a Porsche 💯 with space like a Jaguar XJ or XF💎 Original like American cars and reliable like the Japanese cars 😇

[@pbub1]

The Ford Fusion on the looks will do

[@IlhamDefraN]

+clarisse mizrahi dodge charger hellcat

[@ReeceReviews19]

Yasss

[@bobysze]

+ilham Defra How does the charger look as good as the Rapide, shift like a Porsche and is reliable like a Japanese car. The only thing it has is an old Benz engine and lots and lots of Power. Which is nice if you were looking for an American car with lots of power, but doesn't really fit the rest, does it? But I guess it will fit, because lots of things on that list aren't even typical for the make. Ferrari/BMWs/Porsches is known for handling, Jaguar is known for light weight, not space and Maserati is known for a nice engine sound, not its brilliant navigation systems... Well and I don't think I should say out loud for what American cars are known for.

[@IlhamDefraN]

i think american cars best in price to performance ratio

[@Theruben1223]

someone here owns the P1?? and i'm here working my assoff just to pay my student loan :(

[@skandarao6256]

I have a P1!

[@eduardoroca1991]

Gotta start trading cryptos to catch up in wealth :)

[@henrytischbein155]

Now the only hybrid hyper cnet has to do is the 918

[@Fitzger00]

finally a Cooley and not an Xcrap.

[@bhargavamatta]

This just shows, even though the NSX is slower it's hella low priced. So it might just be a hit.

[@userjoinedyourchannel1]

No bargo just no...

[@AnirudhVasudevan]

Bhargava Matta Lol

[@toh3211]

Cooley you love audis!!!

[@Consleboy]

The day I earn shit loads of money, I would definitely buy this car in the MSO paint option.

[@robbdogg861]

I absolutely love Audi's. Can't wait for the day I turn my A6 in for that RS5. Heres too wishful thinking my friends.

[@chrisfigenshaw2968]

Cooley for president

[@speterj]

A W8 Audi R8. I don't think so Mr. Cooley.

[@usernameXunavailabl3]

RS7 is nice, but expected the Tesla to be #1...

[@dyingangelo]

this guy could be a top gear us presenter

[@karigreyd2808]

no

[@samspade8830]

You're right. He's too good for Top Gear.

[@fabiano6793]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@unccred]

Looks like you stole that jacket from Zap Brannigan.

[@saeedshaban5871]

where is the s class

[@tadam25]

14:10 There is no Audi R8 that has been produced with a W style motor, just a concept or two I believe.

[@jgpwlcs36]

Is it just a coincidence that Ferrari, McLaren, and Porsche all decided to make hybrid supercars all at about the same time? Can't be can it?

[@mariomaster0248]

CAN WHAT BE??

[@jgpwlcs36]

Mario Master 02 what the hell? i was asking if the fact that they're all hybrids and were released at about the same time be a coincidence

[@lugia021]

3 companies made 1 car each. 3x1=3. A triangle has 3 sides. Illuminati confirmed

[@kefirb]

hey, if you ever need to borrow my 918, feel free!

[@CrowHawk1000]

A Sports CAR?! This is a hyper car

[@SungHyunKim1]

+Marvin Le all sports, super, and hyper cars are sports cars

[@MatrixDiscovery]

+Marvin Le What's funny is that the P1, LaFerrari and 918 are the first of this new age of hypercars. The next gen will probably blow these cars away. Nissan as we speak has a 1200 HP GTR-Hybrid ready.

[@Rock-mo3ry]

I'm happy for anyone that can own one of these things . Would be happier if it were me , but . Happy , almost..... nonetheless .

[@DIVADNOMIS1313]

First of all, there is no W8 engine in any R8. Second, you used a V10 to demonstrate a W8 engine. Not brilliant.

[@juancargts]

There was in the A8, it was featured in a Transporter film.

[@DIVADNOMIS1313]

Epic shit m8, there was also one in the vector w8 and a vw passat. But that has the absolute square root of jack shit to do with the r8

[@juancargts]

That's right, point to be made W layout are on many VAG group cars. Just a couple of VR engines soldered together

[@shbdolor]

When I get really, really wealthy, I'd sponsor more CNET on Cars episodes, so maybe then wed get an episode every two weeks. Well, aside from dropping the occasional $1M on a hypercar. But that's just me. Haha

[@hellcat1988]

I have a video on my channel that shows just how quickly being drowsy behind the wheel can go horribly wrong. I still have hip problems from it.

[@ferrari2615]

Dr.House....

[@juansmith615]

Hmmm!! Brian....

[@fleXcope]

Why is CNET doing a car review?

[@Rielestkid]

Consumer Reports just posted a video today, praising the ride quality and performance of the Infiniti q70. Sooo... Cooley might be wrong on that one.

[@JasonLastName]

lol ! Consumer Reports lost their "car reviewer" credibility with me years ago!

[@Rielestkid]

really? how? They do real world long term car reviews. Brian Cooley can barely drive lol, he's a good reviewer though.

[@BarbikaPahor]

what if you are wearing sun glasses? than car wont see your eyes

[@mx5hong]

Audi R8 doesn't have a W8. It has either a V8 or V10. The last Volkswagen with a W8 was the Passat W8.

[@bryan9200]

Cooley be that nigga
