A mistake in this video: the tool kit is not solid gold, as some KZbinrs have reported. The tools are titanium. They may be good plated but the coating looks like titanium nitride to me. 12:47 Gold is very soft, very weak, and very dense. The titanium material is according to road and track.

@@compt3ck I way about to point out the same thing. Gold is a very heavy metal. It would be the last choice a engineer would make to save weight.

I can confirm it is a titanium nitride coating. The F1 was the same. Facom titanium tool with a titanium nitride coating to add surface hardness.

As you can see there is no cup holder, which is another reason it can't be legally sold in the US. Instead, McLaren has a button under the drive pedal you access by first throwing a special hawaiian lava rock at a button located in the bottom right corner of the break pedal. Doing so releases an endangered animal that will be sent over to the driver via drone to give you a drink. Endangered species and type of drink varies depending on which package you choose.
