Porsche and Merc are best battle machines and Mclaren is overrated average car

[@cambodia.sbysby]

Hello

[@ryanrichardson154]

@@oldschoolracinggames5729 the McLaren is an overrated average car??? How in the world is that in any way on any planet an average car? Literally every thing about it is about as far as possible from the average car anywhere? It's unique and an absolute iconic piece of automotive history and goes without question a legend. You are definitely saying that without ever even experiencing one I person and I can probably guarantee that you have never been in a drive inside of this work or art you wouldn't be able to even type that sentence let alone speak it! It's okay to have an option on it and not like the style of it we all have our own taste but you can't argue with facts man.

[@PhileusActual]

Unless you are a car person, you don't realise just how special this is, watching all 3 of these cars together!

[@pedroapinto06]

Having the McLaren F1 GT would be even crazier

[@KMAN8599]

3 of the most iconic cars

[@louiandrews7]

I Couldn't agree more about your comment seeing these three together is just beautiful 3 cars that dominated le mans in there own times beautiful works of engineering

[@jimclark1896]

Absolutely!

[@josegarza3088]

Unicorns 👌👌👌🙏

I've watched thousands of hours of automotive content. This is one of the greatest videos I've ever watched. Thank you.

[@mr.doomer5752]

Yes

[@Dr.Gazmend_Haxhiaj]

I loved this for real the best 🚗 ever built

[@steviedee71]

I would have to agree with you just a brilliant video 👌

[@adriannavarro2536]

The fact they’re all silver too makes this so incredible

[@813Productions]

The CLK GTR will always be one of my most coveted cars. I hope to see one in person one day. God willing, maybe even own one.

[@anderson-milan]

i hope the best for you bro

[@813Productions]

@@anderson-milan thank you bro 🙏🏾

[@Decenium]

it is like the countach quite a sobering experience to actually drive, its made for racing, its super uncomfortable and really made for rather short people so...yeah I agree its a fantastic looking thing and I love it but own it? I mean owning just to own would be sad, I would want it to be driven.

[@jryalls]

£600,000 for a McLaren F1 when new, that would get you a beautifully restomoded Reliant Robin these days.

Might as well buy 6000 washing machines if I intend to tumble around in a rotating metal case with soiled garments on

[@niteshnair1246]

From true car enthusiasts around the world I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing out the holy trinity. Brilliantly made.

[@andrewpattie358]

The CLK GTR is the only car iv ever had a poster of on my wall when I was teenager 😁 I absolutely love that car even now it looks amazing

[@asymsolutions]

Amazing lineup and opportunity, we are all jealous! The only thing that would have made this even better is if you had the GTR short tail variant of the F1 since it was more in line with the spirit of the CLKGTR and 911GT1

[@aapeaape]

Having experienced these cars in the 90s and having friends race them back in the day was mind-blowing. This extremely well-made video captures wonderfully the spirit of this trinity. Thank you, team Carfection, well done.

[@alexnicol7104]

"having friends race them" Why lie?

[@ryanwollum6744]

I didn't know I needed this, but nothing could possibly be more important in my life for the next 40 minutes than watching this 🤯

Love all 3 of these cars but the CLK GTR is my favorite if I had to choose 1.

Videos like this should be illegal. The greatest cars at one of the most legendary tracks. Brings back childhood memories of playing Need For Speed II SE. Thank you @Carfection

[@stevenfarrington2361]

Finally a video which demystifies the 911 GT1 & CLK GTR and puts them in context. 👏👏

[@ESKATEUK]

I still genuinely believe the mclaren f1 from a rolling race will challenge many super cars of today. Would be interesting to see it against something like a 720s.

[@zeromrcy]

na v12 straight from the future

[@diesel-technology5507]

720s would obliterate it but purely based upon the gearshifts

[@gustavoaguiar7485]

Even the mp4-12c is faster

[@MScotty90]

Depends on how long the race was, for pure top speed the F1's 240mph is still something that very few cars can touch (or even come close to). Not bad for a car that's 30 years old.

[@ESKATEUK]

@@gustavoaguiar7485 no it is not at all. In a straight line the mclaren f1 has the same 200-300kmh time as the 720s. Which means in genuinely acceleration it is very close to a 720s but is let down massively by slower gear changes. A mp4-12c is most definitely not faster than the f1.

[@andresguerin7162]

The 240 mph top speed is from a special spec car with unrestricted rpm limiter and other minor changes. "Regular" f1 did around 225

[@joebone3151]

Still fast by today standards

[@camy0772]

More so the gearing was the big change

[@BrendanWolhuter]

astounding walk down memory lane in HD… well done on this piece guys, well done 👏🏻

[@DMBVR4]

Having a silver XJ220 with this group would've been amazing, even though we all know who would've come in last.

[@ferrariwaffle5042]

@Jack Smith no fucking duh

[@joaoayala]

What a wonderful video. Really, one of the best videos about cars ever.

[@Gregsheppo66]

No doubt about it Mr. Catchpole. You produce some incredibly magnificent videos. This one spoke to my car-soul. The part of me that’s simply childlike fascination & nothing more.

[@aidencoder]

Has that F1 just been kept in a sealed container since production?! It looks absolutely immaculate.

[@glarus4008]

Maybe played a little because we all know the engine will break if it isn’t used.

[@K_FI_L_Y_P_S_O]

Team CLK GTR here! Thank you SO much for this absolute gem of a video. I can't even imagine the insurance needed to drive these. I instantly subscribed after watching the first video of the 3. The pinnacle and holy grail of 90's supercars.

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

me too brother, on Forza it was the best car.

[@enricolange0510]

This is the most satisfying Video on KZbin. Gorgeous, Amazing. I can't describe it.

Amazing film ! What a treat to see these 3 very special cars together

[@ajwasp3642]

To see a 911 GT1 in person, is mind blowing.

[@C6Z_Bob]

The greatest era in supercars. Absolute legends.

[@nelsonli7556]

totally agree, as a kid growing up admiring these three legends. we lived through a true golden period of racing and advancement, alongside public consumption. I think we missed the point when the computer could figure everything out, along with electric fuel and such, could be it's own thing. I do see companies still try with manual gearboxes. Boy, when you know you're getting old, smh...

[@mornejordaan1832]

This video just gets a instant like in my heart .

[@shadowhaunter]

Henry this is fantastic!!! What a beautiful story and I hope you enjoyed every second!

[@zaidaldaja230]

All cars are awesome!! Design from the imagination and the distant future in the time of the past! But Mercedes remains the most beautiful and very elegant!! It looks like from another planet! Thank you for the beautiful video and for bringing together these legendary cars

[@snipershor6351]

So happy to see my favorite McLaren F1 and CLK GTR together. Never seen them in real life. If I got enough money, both will be in my garage.

[@miklu26]

Super review! What a way to start the day

[@Drop_a_gear_and_disappear]

Easily the best video of the year, just epic. Thanks for bringing boyhood hero’s alive in this beautiful video!

[@wesleycardinal8869]

Wow! What a top quality film that was, well done to all for putting this together. I bet Henry felt a tad nervous taking these irreplaceable classics around a racing track, it would certainly make me nervous. Therein lies a problem with these cars, as they are now so rare and expensive they cannot be driven like they were designed to be, but must be coddled. It's a pity as they cannot be driven (legally) at speed on the public road, and cannot be risked on the track. It was a rare privilege then for a journalist to drive them all.

[@gati54uri094]

This is the silver arrows but in the 90s what amazing art machines ever made!!! I still saying "when this gladiators face, they conquer the circuit" Probably NEVER could choose a favourite of three!!! But I convinced that the was and still the Ultimate Top Race Cars Experience!

[@annecampbell3339]

I rarely ever comment, but my word what a video! Up there with Chris Harris and the Holy Trinity. Epic.

[@raulbustamante8337]

These cars are just peak engineering, no matter how much advancement mankind can achieve

[@bradywise9996]

I never thought I’d see a video with these three legends. Wow. Literally no words for the jealousy!

[@richardtrager7125]

Few months ago I went to Porsche’s maintenance facility to pick up my car, and the assistant told me there’s a GT1 sitting there and I had a chance to look at it irl. He said the owner bought it for around 254million dollars which is insane. And also saw the 918 Spyder being disassembled at the back for maintenance as well.

[@creatora123]

Thank you for this, i'm near 40 years of age and squealed like a little girl in the end. Nothing can ever top this!!!

[@ahmad1080p]

I feel you, I might freeze just by watching one on the road, this is really special

[@adriannavarro2536]

The conclusion of this video was beautifully written essay, many wow’s the words that were put to this video

[@paganizondasroadster1660]

Never heard of the 911 GT1. Until today I subscribed cause of that

[@mochabear88]

more than happy to enjoy this again

[@quicknickdriver8510]

Nicely put together Henry & team. Bet you love your job!

[@jryalls]

Hey Carfection, I know there’s only 1 road car but do you think you could get a hold of a Nissan R390 GT1 to test? Especially seen as you just drove the Jaguar Sport XJR-15.

[@hugof.7977]

Without forgetting the Toyota GT-One TS020 roadcar. Only 2 were made…

[@vyrnmn]

Extremely unlikely since it's in Nismo's warehouse in Japan.

[@OCDRex11]

Too bad they never had posters of these for sale because my wall would have been filled. Yup, I had the Testarossa on my wall but that was requisite back then. These would have been on my walls in triplicate! What an amazing omage to these raw beasts from so long ago. I miss these days. This was a fantastic video and I thank you for sharing it!

[@lewishunter]

Absolutely brilliant piece 👍

[@quickdeuce]

Great video. If I wee forced to chose I would go with the Porsche as well. I do love the looks of the CLK BUT as challenging as it is to enter and exit I must say that would make it unrealistic for anyone with a larger than average frame. It seems the car was designed for smaller human beings as it's pilot. Thank you for putting this wonderful video together and for uploading it for our viewing pleasure. Liked and subscribed I did :)

[@paulkrapp]

Thank you so very much for this video! I remember when these cars were new! My 1998 Porsche Boxster wears those same head lights proudly. 😀👍

[@audiwankenobi361]

Very rarely do I ever give a thumbs up as soon as possible on a production....this was/is one of those times.

[@SvenElven]

I don't believe I every had the same reaction upon first seeing a photo of a car in a magazine as I did when I saw the CLK GTR. It still looks obscene!

[@TheBarnz91]

I just love the production and music in these videos!!

[@nestorjrabalos1998]

All three are greatest of the greats, i’d own these three if i had the money. But if i were to choose one, I’d still pick the Mclaren F1. Truly one of a kind.

[@pgr3290]

The GTR and GT1 look preposterously unwieldy on the 'road' as the race cars that they are. The Mclaren F1 really was a road car and works, the other two feel like a man doing his weekly shop around Tesco's wearing skis. Insane overhangs and unicorn exotica that would probably be smashed up a British back road by a Golf R or something just due to their size, limited traction, weird dated transmissions, visibility etc. Pretty great to see them driven all the same.

[@d23bw]

What a treat. Dream legendary trio from the always excellent Carfecktion team . Thanks for this.

[@andrewharper4296]

Criminal this video only has 70,000 odd views so far. Brilliant work thank you. I saw the McLaren win in ‘95 and attended all the BPR and FIA GT races I could in the UK. Just stunning race cars and huge grids at the time. I remember seeing that 911 GT1 at brands. When it came through paddock hill I sensed immediately the others were in trouble. It was on rails. The McLarens fought as hard as they could though! Shame that the ACO and FIA didn’t stick to their guns with LMH. Yes you’re spot on. The regs were originally back to proto/GT type cars but some manufacturers wanted full prototype and others wanted hypercar to race car. The ever changing rules kind of killed off the Aston which is a huge shame. At least it still got to be a reality, even though it may never race.

[@rad1ant]

this video is an edited version of the original video which was uploaded a year ago.

[@Gorilla_Jones]

The golden age, we’ll never see it’s like again.
