P1, Senna, Elva or Artura. Which are you taking home? ⬇

[@tikkyBee]

P1 & 765LT 😉

[@nathanb2100]

To be honest, I would take all of them 😃😅

[@ATBN99]

720s all day

[@ankitkorula5754]

What about 765 LT

[@roryhall5155]

P1!

[@Modenut]

The P1 is easily one of the most gorgeous cars ever made. Such a beauty.

[@konrad6995]

The tail lights are insane

[@-Ehrenbruder-Sam-]

Definitely! It still is one of my favorite Hypercars!

[@maddulei1721]

True! It's 10 Years old and looks like It's coming from the Future💪🏻

[@jaco5five6six]

Senna looks better

[@alexbelmonte4581]

It looks even better in person. It’s actually hard to look away from. The Senna is similar in that way, despite not being beautiful.

[@reset1101]

One of the best car videos Ive watched on youtube in a very long time. Congrats to Rory and the team for this fantastic time!

[@alancobbin]

Absolutely,you beat me to it👍😉💪🇬🇧

[@danpatrick745]

Yeah completely agree, emotive, captive film work and Rory at his best.

[@andrewisaac4708]

Same here, I thought I was the only one until I saw your comment..✌️

[@duncanbleak3819]

Absolutely magnificent. The driving, the production, the commentary and, oh yeah, the cars also. Well done Rory, and the whole team!

[@AlwinCrasto]

This was incredible. I had goosebumps for the introduction of every car and I left with an admiration and respect for the company that I didn't have before. Rory was a tour de force as always.

[@flaminggodofthunder9212]

This is a cinematic masterpiece, the production level is outrageous

[@marvinsamuels1237]

Top Gear’s loss is AutoTrader’s gain. Rory, your storytelling goes from strength to strength!! Nice work 👌🏾

[@devanman7920]

I dunno why they just didn't let Rory and Chris do they're thing at top gear.

[@marvinsamuels1237]

@@devanman7920 the BBC pandered to those that wanted an entertainment show that included cars rather than a car show with a little entertainment.

[@markdance574]

It’s so tragic that Bruce McLaren was taken from us all those years ago . Most people recognise the Brand yet know very little about the man who was undoubtedly one of THE GOATS of the race car driving race car building world . As much as I love KZbin - Car shows like Top Gear and the Grand Tour are sorely missed . Thank god we still have mr Reed and the others

[@painkiller93]

Brother ! Also watch 'Hagerty Media' most uploads with Jason Cammisa will give you the same vibes as Top gear and The Grand Tour but in truth there will be no treo ever greater than Jeremy, Hammond and James. Also... For Car History and documentaries, watch 'The Squid'

[@JonathanEzor]

I love these documentary videos. I also love that, since McLaren uses the same airfield that TopGear did, Rory is driving that same old track with its named corners (e.g. "Into Chicago.") On that note, RIP Michael Gambon.

[@dennisimmanuel8674]

Rory has taken over from Harris... he's the best reviewer out.

[@ZayFlxx]

Absolutely 10/10 reviewer

[@danielbrown4579]

In your humble opinion of course.

[@_Atomic_impact]

No, just No. Rory is great but harris is next level. The energy, The passion, The technical knowledge.

[@cj41079]

Rory is good, but what about Henry or Steve or Jethro?

[@AlexPeka]

Chris is unrivaled for reviewing cars, as per other comments, technical know-how, passion, no fat to the narration. Rory I would say relates to a greater portion of the population with his creative narration. Both fantastic in their own way

[@jamesgulland]

I think Rory’s expression when driving the P1 says it all. What a car

[@richboy900]

I always wondered why McLaren didn't put the senna around the ring. At the time, surely it would have been one of the quickest road cars around there

[@DexxonGamer77]

If you put the senna today on the ring it would take the record. Im sure of it. If you look at the laptime on the racetrack eboladrome, the grand tours track its laptime is 1:12.9. In comparison the non street legal Vulcan got 1:15.5, the Huracan Performante which has a 6:52 second laptime on the ring got a 1:16.8 on the eboladrome. A 4 second difference on such a short track is insane.

[@faldocool1996]

The senna has definitely grown on me

[@devanman7920]

I honestly think it's so cool. It's just brutal enough that it looks like an absolute weapon.

[@osiseri2370]

I have always loved the senna over the p1 I just love it’s beauty and I can imagine driving it on a race track

[@dermo7916]

Cracking content Rory they have made some incredible cars and that’s without mentioning the 765/675/600 LTs! That yellow P1 with silver wheels is lottery win material …just gorgeous

[@jamessheehy4895]

It has to be the greatest car ever the F1 it appreciates at 1 million a year for 20 years and has gold in its engine bay. Unique driving set up and 6.1 naturally aspirated manual wow!!’ 😅❤

[@Dr._Rizk]

I don’t know about you but for me, there is always one special video that defines a youtube channel, and I believe that this is Autotrader’s one. What a masterpiece. Bravo to the whole team 👏❤️

[@devanman7920]

I agree. This was fantastic

[@14Unow]

So much road car heritage in such a few years with new models than previous ones. Great Britain at it's best.

[@devanman7920]

Brits should really get behind McLaren more. It's out there creating some of the most amazing cars ever

[@blazzz13]

Great film by Rory! I'm surprised the Speedtail wasn't featured here. For me it's Mclaren's greatest masterpiece yet.

[@Soltitude_Altitude]

McLaren has been favourites of every car enthusiasts. They don’t follow the books and they are always significantly different from all other supercar companies. I have always loved this heritage called McLaren.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

All beautiful cars. I like that McLaren is still making sports cars. That alone is admirable. Since many other brands have given up on this formula.

[@auto__mobiletendency3823]

"Editing is ultimately next level".

[@atlegangletsoge6165]

My favorite supercar brand no question. But i feel like the speedtail is slept on since it too is great. I believe it had to be here too. But great video as always, keep it up

[@sydwellsithole4433]

There can be no conversation of the ultimate series without the Speedtail

[@roryhall5155]

Nice one Rory!👊🏿

[@thenyathuita5467]

Seeing the Rory tear down the track with the P1 was beautiful, reminds me of Clarkson's review when when he nicknamed it "THE WIDOWMAKER"

[@dusandestanovic5884]

Undoubtedly the best channel on You Tube needs to use hashtags.

[@michaelrainerii3547]

Great video for McLaren. I hope the brand continues. The F1 was my childhood dream car and I still have the little diecast from all those years ago lol.

[@kgapanemohale3557]

The O'jays sung it, I am gonna repeat it, and Rory has done it; "Give the people what they want!" What an enjoyable video!

[@JerryCarterJr-kg7hq]

I’ve had my Artura for a month now and very happy with it. It is very quick

[@thawk2563]

This was the best car review i have seen in years. It inspired so many memories of old top gear hearing Chicago being mentioned, sideways supercars and a great narrative. Rory and the AT team are really talented and this has taken a lot of time and effort to make. Full credit to you all.

[@1306anand]

I felt like I was in a movie... What a production man 😍😎 you took me on a journey ❤️ I could feel your excitement as you drove each and every one of them... This is a masterpiece. Amazing work and kudos to the whole team... I can only imagine how much effort has gone into making this video. Audio video, story telling, editing, music, sound engineering... Everything was perfect ❤️👌 thanks for making these videos 😍👍😊

[@Hassanw9]

The McLaren p1 is one of the most beautiful cars ever built… ultimate dream car

[@ademolasodeke]

This is how you make a car review ❤ thumbs up Rory and the team!

[@smithphotography89]

The way Rory smiles whilst doing this... you can tell he really loves what he does. I love you man. I appreciate your work. Thanks for being such an inspiration even from the Rolls Royce poem in your TopGear days. 😊

[@alexngandu]

"Got more wings than your local KFC" 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂

[@GiovanniiRosa]

Another masterpiece from the AT team. Another captivating performance by the one and only Rory Reed. Thank you very much indeed ❤

[@Bmontepeque11]

This is glorious! I really like McLaren (And even loved them for a brief moment) But they started loosing me with the many special editions, however, their mechanical excelence is undeniable! ❤️❤️

[@randomkindness1470]

I like the P1 a lot and im always worried that its not as great as I think it is... so im always glad when it gets nice things said about it...

[@austensmith3330]

You’ll never have one anyways lol

[@doormat123]

@@austensmith3330 you don't need to remind us lol

It’s good to see the p1 is a light colour where you can actually see the lovely lines it has.

[@jamessheehy4895]

Everything you do rory is epic like having carfecion still about mate such class reviews like a tv show

[@SleemLDJ]

Oh my God! The production on this is nuts. Had me smiling all through. 🎉👏🏾👏🏾

[@dawgwhereuat]

one of the best storytelling and storyteller ive ever heard in a car review. loved this!!❤

[@nikolaszikakis1046]

Corrado door mirrors on the F1 is what made it iconic 😂

[@davidhart9376]

Another quality car video from Rory and the team.. Great filming , great driving and a great story about one of the great creators and builders of Super cars

[@costafilh0]

F1, SLR, Senna, Elva, 750S Spider My PERFECT McLaren collection!

[@danielayodele7350]

Rory, Rory Hallelujah! x3 McLaren's driving on, on, on! Great scores, great cinematography and even greater auto journalism from arguably the Best Black Auto Journalist on the Planet. The Gordon Murray classic still remains the F40 of its generation, but the P1 is a modern interpretation of that. The one I'll drive? The GT.

[@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252]

This is astounding Rory and team! Wow I’m amazed at the quality of these videos😮

[@Yoso_Elements]

This is by far the best insert…Rory nailed it! We need more of such concepts…maybe Porsche or Aston Martin next…🔥🔥🔥

[@capm_alive]

This is just topping out with the quality content 🔥 Absolutely magnificent. Hard to breach this bar i say, but rory ll beat it.

As much as I'd like to say I love the P1's futuristic design, I can't help but love the timeless design of the F1.

One of the best KZbin mini car docs I've ever watched, 9/11, would get a personal 11/11 from me if they had capped rhis brilliant piece with a half mile drag race at the end and the Speedtail should have been in this, it's another unique car of the ultimate series.🔥
