@@22Epic form follows function. The car is a modern day F1, will be just as ground breaking and it wouldn't surprise me if they aren't all sold now let alone once they go into production. If I could, I'd have one of each purely based on who it's built by and then you hear it... it could look like a Pontiac Aztec for all I'd care.

[@22Epic]

@@key2dalo keep this argument for people without knowledge of the automotive industry. You can clearly see that the designer simply wanted to make his son happy adding the backend of a batmobile. It's quite funny that it made it through to the final design haha, kind of a nice story to tell.

So great to see Gordon Murray really enjoying himself with the ultmaite supercar project 2.0. I dont konw anyone else that has the ability or chance in life to create something so special like the F1 and then decades later having the knowledge and access to all the new technologies and having a 2nd try, knowing exactly how and why you did what you did back then and then knowing what to do to make it better. You know every single compromise you had to make on the F1 and now doing anything you want to improve on it. This just cannot be as good or worse then the F1. Its actually impossible. Same designer, bigger budget, same goal for the end result yet decades later. LOVE IT and already a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Mr Murray for acheiving something so special and letting us join GMA on this journey

[@Nemoticon]

7:55 Oh sweet lord... best bit yet!!!

[@GeordieAmanda]

What an extraordinary car. Best sounding ICE in a road car that I have ever heard - at least on the interweb. Apart from all the usual plaudits that you can throw at this astonishing vehicle, I just can't get over the ride height. The car actually has 'ride height'. So often I look at beautiful sports cars, slammed to the floor and although they look great, I wince at the thoughts of them driving around on real roads. But I assume, thanks to Mr Murrays fan design, he doesn't have to fear speed bumps. His fan design seems to be the gift that just keeps giving, :) What a way to say a final goodbye to the petrol-engined sports car (I'll never have an emotional attachment to anything energised by the same thing that powers my phone). I can't wait to hear this car in person :)

[@CJ_102]

Honestly don't know what's more impressive. It's monster abilities or its understated zen like form. Unreal

[@r129r16pfl]

Zen form - most people don't get it (for now), this desing will enable it to be timeless, just like the original.

[@WhiteRoseDrives]

I'd love to see the YT stats on this episode to see where folks drop off. Because all those who didn't make it to the end missed one of the most fantastic bits of the whole series! Kudos to the editor of this episode 👏

[@DSW964]

Out of all the new super cars- This is the one.

[@LP640Murcielago]

What a potential send off to the combustion engine. I want something to show my Kids one day... when I have them, what ICE was like and I'll be able to point to this as the pinnacle of raw, outright adrenaline fueled, emotional speed. Well done GMA... and Gordan in particular, you are the shining light in an otherwise foggy future. I can't wait to hear one of these at full noise in person. God help me if I ever get to drive one.

[@akarilotube]

The Kg reminder on the startup is epic!

[@Gatotsu2009]

[@reginaldbowls7180]

ARGH what a glorious ending!!!!! goosebumps!!

[@rudolfvanderven]

In a way, I really appreciate that Gordon wanted to keep things small-scale and only produce a limited number. On the other hand, I really hope McLaren or anyone else comes up to him and goes "Hey Gordon, what if we take this masterpiece of yours and mass produce it?". From a very selfish perspective, I just want to drive this epic last note of the combustion engine at least once in my life.

[@CJ_102]

Agree, it's sad that so few people get to experience most of the world's best things. Guess it's Tesla only for mere mortals.

[@GabePlaysYT]

I agree. Gordon wants to maintain exclusivity and a close relationship with all the owners. Its easier to do that with 100 owners instead of 10,000. Still, how many people wish they could drive an F1 and never could? the ultimate drivers car should be in as many hands as possible and I'd wish for there to be a much higher production.

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

McLaren aren't interested in it. And I doubt anyone is. The moment you mass produce it is the moment people stop buying for 3 million and then it quickly becomes unprofitable. It's sad but there is no way to make this car without it costing a fortune, and no one will pay a fortune without limited numbers.

[@deyarkalidi1654]

As soon as you take one mans idea to the marketing team, all hope is lost. To enjoy the engineering you have always desired, you have to keep the engineers seperate from marketing

[@filipposkoliopanos7281]

​@@deyarkalidi1654 I think that even if McLaren offered to do it, Gordon would decline it. For all the reasons others have mentioned and one more. McLaren produced the Speedtail as a "spiritual successor" to the F1. While the Speedtail is certainly impressive, beautiful and quite fast, it is an affront to the McLaren F1 ethos. It is a heavy hybrid, with minimal driver engagement that can go fast but does not make any serious claims to handling and does not encourage the driver to really have fun with it. Furthermore, the F1 was about innovation and even though it did not directly aim at them it broke all kinds of performance records (including speed). The Speedtail features a lot of expensive tech but nothing new, nothing that comes even close to groundbreaking. And it isn't even that fast. For a McLaren car the has "speed" in its name it is considerably slower than its main rivals. The F1 was the ultimate drivers car. The Speedtail is another exclusive toy for the megarich. Obviously all supercars target the very wealthy, but some are sincerely built to also make a statement. Take a shot to become party of the history of great driving machines. The Speedtail is already forgotten. Murray has only hinted at this, but he is reported to be quite discontent that the the F1 legacy was used for marketing purposes for the Speedtail, since the only thing that it has in common with it is the three seat layout. Of course the F1 is a McLaren car so he cannot really do anything about it. Except perhaps sell his own F1. He says he did because of the insurance costs. Right. Has anyone seen his car collection?

[@_Archambaud]

[@eldorado767]

I'm 70 and the sound of that engine makes me giggle. Too bad I'll never own one, but jeesh! What an engine! And the auto is beautiful on top of all that performance. Well done, Sir.

[@LapoftheWorld]

It's amazing to see Gordon's (and the rest of the team's) passion for the n'th detail in making a car with no compromises (or at least expertly curated compromises) considering this is his second time around with the process. I'll consider myself lucky if at some point I get to hear one of these at speed in person before they disappear into collections.

I think this is one a very few number of cars, I am sad that I will likely never get a chance to drive. The passion and attention to detail going into this car is a masterpiece of execution by all involved.

[@masturone8257]

What's nuts is the t50 was announced later and is in hands of people sooner. The amg one and Valkrie both from large manufacturers and still not being driven by anyone outside the builders. It's amazing in the day and age how a boutique builder is able to imagine mock up build test and get their car in the hands of drivers in shorter time then billion/trillion dollar companies (including one who shares engine builder with). Shows how excellent the car is more so then getting to drive it.
