Well, here it is (or the first part at least). I still can't quite believe that it happened. I hope you all enjoy it. Although we try not to bombard you with requests to 'like and subscribe' it would be a huge help if you could. The support is not only appreciated, but makes a massive difference to our ability to keep producing content. Anyway, back to the F1 and that induction noise...

[@Orcawhale1]

Not really, this is two homologation specials and a supercar. The 911 GT1 and CLK GTR were built for the high speed stability at le mans and endurence, not outright performance. For christ sake, the F40 and 959 outperform them both in acceleration and speed, so no these arn't hypercars, let alone supercars. The Veyron, Agera RS, Chiron, Venom GT those are hypercars.

[@Mvrk63]

[@quackyduck1499]

I cant ever see, no matter how much times passes, how any EV will ever bring such joy and emotion as any of these three do today. Even the hybrid La Ferrari, P1 or 918 will never be able to be so pure or emotional, so personal. A time when GT cars were made for men that had the ability to drive them. Not utubers who had the cash to buy them.
