This is why i like Fith gear more. They are more serious. They talk about think you care about like boot space, running costs etc. And they are excited about epic cars
Fuck me, Tiff is fearless. Driving this car like a bat out of hell in such close quarters. Good god, he's a good driver. That McLaren is bliss. So fucking perfect.
Its been no secret that for the last 15 years, Tiff Needell's favourite car has been the McLaren F1, and for a very good reason, its a beast of a car. No other car even comes close to the mighty McLaren F1. After the McLaren MP4-12C super car, McLaren are building a new hyper car, its project name is the McLaren P12. .
Tiff OBVIOUSLY said the Mclaren was a race car converted for road use. the LM's were never "converted" but were built straight out of the factory for road use. This is a 1995 GTR made to look like an LM
Nothing will beat the F1. Designed by Gordon Murray (McLaren's Formula 1 designer), and built by a Grand Prix team. As Tiff himself says, it's very special.
The Enzo would clearly be the better choise of the two, considering costs, comfort, speed etc. But that is not really what super cars are about is it? the McLaren would leave the Enzo for dead in soul, passion, noise and excitement. Love that orange thing. It is just so beautiful.
It is just pure engineering genius only a company like McClaren could make, considering it's over 15 years old and the world's fastest naturally aspirated car it's the most impressive super car imo. Someone who drove one I think it was Andretti said that if they changed the gear ratios and added a 7th gear it could probably go a bit faster.
It took them that much because smaller steps are getting heavier as the progress marches on. We are on the boundary of what's physically possible. Bugatti is 700 kilograms heavier. And it has air condition, stereo, and sound isolation. So the 400 horsepower were a must.
Two incredible machines! That is actually a Mclaren F1 LM. The LM was basically a street legal version of the F1 GTR race car which explains all of the controls inside and there's only like 5 in existence!! Those wheels, spoiler, as well as the color were not options for the regular F1 which is the one that holds the 240 mph top speed record and was more civilized inside. You could get it in black, red, and silver but I think that's it. The LM was also not known for being as fast.
I'd love to see a race between the - - Porsche 911 GT2 - Koenigsegg Agera R - Hennessey Venom GT - Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - SSC Ultimate Aero - Saleen S7 - Pagani Zonda Cinque - Lamborghini Aventador - Noble M600 - Aston Martin Vanquish - Ferrari Enzo - Pagani Hyundai (This car topped the Top Gear by a long jump) - Ferrari 458 - McLaren F1 (My favourite car) - SSC Ultimate Aero - Koenigsegg CCX I think that it might go to the Pagani Zonda Huayra/McLaren F1/Venom GT!
NASCAR calls itself a "stock car" race. Jeff Gordon said that the word "stock" means "unmodified", in a sense of "race as a 700hp purpose-build tube-frame race car". If this is the context you are looking for, then Formula 1 cars are stock cars, they race without modification. If a dragster is purpose-build with no resemblance of any other cars, then yes it is a stock car.
Yes. The GTR is not street legal. It was built specifically for the track and used in races. Like I said the LM was basically a street legal version of the GTR. It has a smaller spoiler, different wheels, and this color was the only one you could get it in if you are lucky enough to own one of the 5 in existence. If you compare it to the standard F1, it has different bumpers too. The standard F1 was very rare itself as only 106 were produced and I think there's only 60 in the U.S.
absolutley, alot of the most epic roadcars ever came in mid 2000s. Koenigsegg CCX, Carrera GT, SLR McLaren, Enzo, Zonda F, Veyron, LP640 (LOVE the LP640), 599... the list can be made long.
I sat in an F1 when I was like 9 or 10 at the Melbourne Grand Prix. I went off by myself because the cars were too noisy for me and someone let me sit in it. It was a privilege and a half!
@Spooie steering lock. When you turn your wheel all the way and it stops. The "racing rack" Is the steering rack which means it has a shorter turn radius which is ideal for fast turns at the race track.
I remember watching this video when i had like 15 years old , now am 20 and I always will remember this video because it inspires me to love cars. Just when i heard that ferrari sound.
'Steering lock' is when you can't turn the wheel any further, and the car is turning at its tightest. 'No lock' is an odd way of saying the car has a poor turning circle, as the wheels lock at a less tighter turning circle.
Tiff know how to talk about cars so well. His explanation is like human being & cars are one. Fuel/Petrol=Blood, Piston=Heartbeat. Jeremy and his gang just can't do that. Tim Schrick good too.
for me is wrong to compare those 2 cars...they are both a piece of art and engineering...they two different things and they are beautiful for what they are
If I was doing this, my reaction while approaching the ferrari and the mclaren would've been the same... I would've just fallen to my knees and slowly starting weeping.
The only Bugatti that could be rightfully compared to the Mclaren F1 and Enzo is the EB110, and I'm pretty sure it'd fall short, as it did in Le Mans, and as it has in motoring history. The Veyron is more of a piece of Jewelery than an actual car. It's an amazing technological masterpiece, but it doesn't scream "race" in any way.
@dsass600 They haven't replaced the Enzo yet, the GTO is a reincarnation of the legendary road/race cars. The Enzo was part of a line of F cars (F40,F50, etc), that's why the Enzo is referred to as the F60. There is no F70 yet but they're working on one.
'No lock'. A racing drivers' term for a limited turning circle - the quicker the rack, the more responsive the car is at speed; however, it means that in day-to-day use (as seen here when leaving the garage), the front wheels won't steer enough to take a corner. (Cf, at the other end of the performance scale, a London taxi, that can 'turn on a sixpence'!
If they could only make cars like the F1 today for the average Joe, oh the things that would become possible, oh the noise, oh the speeding tickets.... God Bless McLaren for making such a beautiful machine.
A service every 3,000 miles? Are you kidding me?! I know the Enzo is a special occasion car so you'd probably only do that once a year, but still, that's insane.
@marklung : "Lock" Is how much the front wheels can turn when you turn the steering wheel from full left to full right, this is call lock, how tight the car can tun.
What's disappointing about the F1 is the BMW V12. That brings it down a notch. Would have been perfect if McLaren built their own V12 like Ferrari. I'd take the Enzo all day over the F1. Ferrari has more soul and passion oozing out of it. The McLaren seems cold.
The Enzo is the true predecessor of the F40 since it has a minimalistic approach to its interior design. However the Mc Laren is definitely more of a Race Car.
The F1 is in a different league than the MP4-12C, McLaren will still make it well after they introduce the P1. And F1 owners are still being taken care of any how because of how rare it is. If some one bought one second hand at an auction, McLaren would take the car and redo it exactly how the new owner would want it.
The first all carbon fibre, million dollar, bat-wing(butterfly)doors, central driver, 24 karat gold lined engine bay housing a normally aspirated (non-turbo(s) supercharged) v-12, record breaking/record setting 240+mph, lemans winning PHENOMENON. The first to do it all! F1 McLaren. THE Michael Jordan of all supercars.
I love the old Mclaren. She have a carismatic soul that is simply unique. The only supercar that can beat Mclaren ( not in speed or acceleration, but in beauty ) is Ferrari F40.
His version of stock means no modifications. NA means naturally aspirated, no turbo or super charger and F1 he meant the car in the video not a formula one car. Also you could buy one, not one racing in the current season but collectors have old ones just can't drive them on the road.
@GenuineLeather13 steering lock stops you from turning further once the wheel gets to a certain point in the steering, no lock means the wheels will turn until they are as far as the steering mechanism will move
2004: "combined value of £2,000,000"
2019: add a zero.
Matt McLoughlin that’s how we can tell this is so old 🤣
F1 cost alone almost 20 milion
why was i wasting time in 2004 being in primary school instead of buying my first Mclaren F1 :(
@@Satori-Automotive I know! Bogus
You can tell this man LOVES his job.
No matter how many car vids I watch on UA-cam, I come back to this time and time again. Just so epic lol
When he says: it's very special . God gotta love that, F1's are and probably will be best mclarens ever made.
MP4-12C's and P1's are like Mclaren clones made by China
The F1 is the only Best and Original McLaren there were ever will
Yasin Ador True :)
This is why i like Fith gear more. They are more serious.
They talk about think you care about like boot space, running costs etc. And they are excited about epic cars
Tiff's joy and enthusiasm are addicting. They radiate to the viewer.
Fuck me, Tiff is fearless. Driving this car like a bat out of hell in such close quarters. Good god, he's a good driver. That McLaren is bliss. So fucking perfect.
McLaren, perfect? Your opinion.
Just the McLaren F1. The P1 is pretty nice, too ;)
The F1 isn't perfect, it has it's share of problems and issues, like every car. Trust me, a BMW V12 is screaming problems and issues.
TrisGV and a ferarri is reliable? all the supercars are shit when it comes to reliability.
The sound when he fires up the F1... Wow
I've watched it like 1000x
That McLaren F1 interiors give you the feel of Fighter Jet cockpit. The legend forever!
The Mclaren caught the love of my heart when I first played with it in Need for Speed, and that would be my dream car of the future.
That F1 is amazing, the fuel pump switch and noise is orgasmic.
4:30 that sound .... TRUE LOVE
That sound of the F1 . Amazing!!!!
Mclaren f1 lm vs ferrari enzo
The best is the mclaren
wow! tiff u will be remembered forever for this review!!!!
Its been no secret that for the last 15 years, Tiff Needell's favourite car has been the McLaren F1, and for a very good reason, its a beast of a car.

.
Good god if I can ever afford one I want one of those original F-1's they are the pinnacle !
thank god to Mclaren, there's a automotive company called BMW. if it wasn't, it wouldn't have that brilliant BMW ///M-POWER engine.
I love how Tiff just shows his happiness as he does
4:29 I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THAT.
This guy is absolutely gay for cars. I love it.
"It's a vice that can be cheaper than gambling." Well no shit Sherlock. Anything can be cheaper than gambling if all you do is gamble.
"Your still the baby" Tiff was spot on there! For me nothing better than that naturaly aspirated v12 soundtrack
Tiff OBVIOUSLY said the Mclaren was a race car converted for road use. the LM's were never "converted" but were built straight out of the factory for road use. This is a 1995 GTR made to look like an LM
I'm a Tifosi but I still like the McLaren more than any other car.
Ferrari has no rivals
umm bugatti? porsche? mclaren? lamborghini? pagani? and there's more! don't act like ferrari is that special.
Gumpert, koenissegg, henessey lol
Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Suzuki lest I go on?
In fabrication of burning cars and barbecue with wheels ? Yes is true AHAHAHAH

This is the best video Fifth Gear has ever done.
It is just pure engineering genius only a company like McClaren could make, considering it's over 15 years old and the world's fastest naturally aspirated car it's the most impressive super car imo.

I'd love to see a race between the -
- Porsche 911 GT2
- Koenigsegg Agera R
- Hennessey Venom GT
- Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
- SSC Ultimate Aero
- Saleen S7
- Pagani Zonda Cinque
- Lamborghini Aventador
- Noble M600
- Aston Martin Vanquish
- Ferrari Enzo
- Pagani Hyundai (This car topped the Top Gear by a long jump)
- Ferrari 458
- McLaren F1 (My favourite car)
- SSC Ultimate Aero
- Koenigsegg CCX
I think that it might go to the Pagani Zonda Huayra/McLaren F1/Venom GT!

If a dragster is purpose-build with no resemblance of any other cars, then yes it is a stock car.
Since no one posted this, this is from Fifth Gear - Season 9, Episode 13 - July 24th, 2006. I am sure many were curious.
Yes. The GTR is not street legal. It was built specifically for the track and used in races. Like I said the LM was basically a street legal version of the GTR. It has a smaller spoiler, different wheels, and this color was the only one you could get it in if you are lucky enough to own one of the 5 in existence. If you compare it to the standard F1, it has different bumpers too. The standard F1 was very rare itself as only 106 were produced and I think there's only 60 in the U.S.
This must be the 50th time I've watched this, still good.
Fifth Gear is much more serious. Top Gear is almost not about cars anymore like they say themselves. it's pure entertainment and i agree with that
the thing is, the veyron can't take corners nearly as well as the F1, sure it would win in a straight flat out, but put them on a real track, no comp
McLaren asked Honda to build for them a V12 engine, but Honda refused.
absolutley, alot of the most epic roadcars ever came in mid 2000s.
Koenigsegg CCX, Carrera GT, SLR McLaren, Enzo, Zonda F, Veyron, LP640 (LOVE the LP640), 599...
the list can be made long.
I sat in an F1 when I was like 9 or 10 at the Melbourne Grand Prix. I went off by myself because the cars were too noisy for me and someone let me sit in it. It was a privilege and a half!
@Spooie steering lock. When you turn your wheel all the way and it stops. The "racing rack" Is the steering rack which means it has a shorter turn radius which is ideal for fast turns at the race track.
this is one of the BEST car reviews/comparrisons
-this is for sure one guy who should, and does, truly love his job.
i used to not like the enzo but now I love it.
it really grows on you
I remember watching this video when i had like 15 years old , now am 20 and I always will remember this video because it inspires me to love cars. Just when i heard that ferrari sound.

Tiff know how to talk about cars so well. His explanation is like human being & cars are one. Fuel/Petrol=Blood, Piston=Heartbeat.
Jeremy and his gang just can't do that.
Tim Schrick good too.
for me is wrong to compare those 2 cars...they are both a piece of art and engineering...they two different things and they are beautiful for what they are
Where is this man?? he should be on Top Gear, probably good enough to have his own show
If I was doing this, my reaction while approaching the ferrari and the mclaren would've been the same...
I would've just fallen to my knees and slowly starting weeping.
My money would be on the Zonda Huayra. To me, she is truly a work of art. Just sensational....of course, these 2 cars are not bad at all.
without this guy, fifth gear haven't been nothing!
honestly these cars both give me goosebumps when i see them from certain angles. scary stuff
I have NEVER heard an engine make the sound that the F1's V12 does, what an absolutely demonic roar! It makes every hair stand on end.
The only Bugatti that could be rightfully compared to the Mclaren F1 and Enzo is the EB110, and I'm pretty sure it'd fall short, as it did in Le Mans, and as it has in motoring history.
The Veyron is more of a piece of Jewelery than an actual car. It's an amazing technological masterpiece, but it doesn't scream "race" in any way.

the passion shown by these guys is contagious and entertaining.
The style of that garage and those 2 cars just screams PGR 3 on my new 360 back in the day lol
Great review. I like how he took his time, like any true enthusiast would. Soaking in every minute you have with these great cars.
This makes me want to play Test Drive Unlimited again...
'No lock'. A racing drivers' term for a limited turning circle - the quicker the rack, the more responsive the car is at speed; however, it means that in day-to-day use (as seen here when leaving the garage), the front wheels won't steer enough to take a corner. (Cf, at the other end of the performance scale, a London taxi, that can 'turn on a sixpence'!
They're both a work of art.
The Top Gear team can make those cars look more fun which is what those cars are for.
Does anyone else just love this guy? You can hear the passion in his voice :)
I've been lucky to sit in three Enzos this year & last year, two black & one red. Good times :-D.
If they could only make cars like the F1 today for the average Joe, oh the things that would become possible, oh the noise, oh the speeding tickets.... God Bless McLaren for making such a beautiful machine.
4:29 best sound ever
When I purchased my McLaren F1, I was amazed by how intense it was to drive it...and then i woke up:(
The Enzo looks more like a space ship from the outside, but the F1 looks more like a space ship inside, sounds like one, and drives like one.
4:29 till 4:32 the best sound i EVER heard! BRILLIANT TUNE! I definitely going to make it as SMS-sound.
When you have a Enzo and Mclaren in the same garage... That's just sick
AHA!! The shifter for a centrally seated Mclaren F1 is on the RIGHT. Lefty's must love driving in England.
Me fascina el ferrari pero me fascina aun mas la forma en la que este hombre lo promociona
A service every 3,000 miles? Are you kidding me?! I know the Enzo is a special occasion car so you'd probably only do that once a year, but still, that's insane.
Tiff forgot to say that this ISN't the regular McLaren F1 .. The normal one could be an interesting contender for the Enzo ..
Aaaaah MAN the F1 is such a classic.
@marklung : "Lock" Is how much the front wheels can turn when you turn the steering wheel from full left to full right, this is call lock, how tight the car can tun.
They're only geared to go about 190MPH. No where near the top speed of the road car. They were mainly geared for La Sarthe (Le Mans Circuit).
Funny you mentioned that game because I started playing it again about a week ago just so I can drive the McLaren F1 LM :)
You Can see the passion in his expression.
McLaren is British, but the founder, Bruce McLaren, an F1 and can-am driver himself, is a New Zealander.
What's disappointing about the F1 is the BMW V12. That brings it down a notch. Would have been perfect if McLaren built their own V12 like Ferrari. I'd take the Enzo all day over the F1. Ferrari has more soul and passion oozing out of it. The McLaren seems cold.
song at 6:17 is "Anvil Chorus" by Verdi
Those cars look hilariously silly in Barnsley xD
These are what I call jet fighters on wheels. Amazing engineering.
The sound of the F1 on he start up....fuck me that's a wake up call :-))
i like the accent speek , and the smile of this man
The Enzo is the true predecessor of the F40 since it has a minimalistic approach to its interior design. However the Mc Laren is definitely more of a Race Car.
Starting up that McLaren can be a handful, which is cool. Sorta like turning on a fighter jet!
always coming back to this video its dat good
The F1 is in a different league than the MP4-12C, McLaren will still make it well after they introduce the P1.
And F1 owners are still being taken care of any how because of how rare it is. If some one bought one second hand at an auction, McLaren would take the car and redo it exactly how the new owner would want it.

PHENOMENON. The first to do it all! F1 McLaren. THE Michael Jordan of all supercars.

simplemente magnifico ... los sonidos de estas dos maravillas mecanicas y con una hermosa musica de fondo
Tiff was The Stig on Top Gear UK for a series.
@GenuineLeather13 steering lock stops you from turning further once the wheel gets to a certain point in the steering, no lock means the wheels will turn until they are as far as the steering mechanism will move
It is difficult to convey that passion through a camera and a computer screen though.
