Beautifully shot, it can not be that good though, not one single 'good lord'.

Thank you McLaren for the engineer's insight, I was enjoting this vid long before the sideways stuff happened. Having it from a Prototype just helped reinforce how special the limited run is too.
Monkey you are one lucky (but talented) b$%^&rd.

I've never wanted a car as badly as I want this. Unfortunately it would have to be a mega lottery win in order to get one and as they've all gone I'll be paying over the odds as well. But, I'm hopeful! :-)

The rate the MPV in the side of the shot disappeared was quite something smile

Now that is how you road test a car!!

Fantastic video. Enjoyed all the technical bits and loved seeing how speechless it left Mr Harris once he took the leash off.

18:50...watching that car to the side go backwards followed by that turbo sound, that would just never get old.

He loves the p1 !

I must say she looks so beautiful at night on track . Shiny and evil . Lovely .

Slight pity that the car he drives is an advanced prototype "representative" of a customer car . Interesting to see how close the car I drove was to it .

Goodwin is a nice bloke eh? Seems a proper enthusiast , he could grow into mclarens Walter rohrl .
Wonderful review , detailed , road and track stuff . Chris Harris best yet I think .

"A different level even to a 918."? Bring on the comparisons and the la Ferrari , we truly live in a golden age of supercarness/dom(?)!

It's no Carrera gt though , lol

I think the P1 is going to go down as an all time great, just like its grandaddy did.

and remember Harris (and Sutcliffe and Gavin Greene) have all been driving the 918. All saying the big Macs got it beat all ends up.

Think I enjoyed the chat with Chris Goodwin and the pootle around the city as much as the slidey track stuff. That always feel more [r]real[/i] to me smile


I've said before, but I do love the joy of Mr Harris' videos. There's a deep admiration for engineering and design that somehow a TV car-show seemingly wouldn't have the same space for. Could have watched a 2hr version of this vid smile

what a thing!

anybody else think Lord March should employ Mr Harris to drive the course car at the member's meeting? whoever does get the job, i really hope we get a proper show!
