    When I thought I couldn't care any less about modern hypercars, this comes along and it is incredible. All the little details, the sound, everything so focused on the experience and usability and ride as a real car. Even wanting the response like carburetors! I've been saying that for years and little boys roll their eyes because they have no clue. At first, I was a little disappointed Gordon Murray wasn't there, but Dario is fantastic. Just watching this was like me at 10 seeing and hearing a Countach for the first time and realizing that cars could be sci-fi spaceships instead of the brown-tone land yachts floating around. Wow.

    One of the ULTIMATE cars of all time! Gordon Murray is without a doubt a maestro of magic when it comes to designing automobiles. It's the perfect blend of form and function. Gordon thinks like the automotive masters of yesteryear who also thought of an automobile in the sense of form vs.function. Names like Coachbuilders Jacques Saoutchik, Cesare Isotta and Vincenzo Fraschini, Carrozzeria Touring, and car designers Enzo Ferrari, Ferruccio Lamborghini, Ettore Bugatti, Ferdinand Porsche, and the many others of the Golden Age of Automobiles. Gordon Murray has no doubt left his mark in the world and will be remembered and honored many years into the future. No doubt his automobiles will grace the halls of the most distinguished automobile museums of both today and tomorrow as people will want to look at these incredible machines which are the pinnacle of automobiles. Gordon shares the legacy today with designers like Christian von Koenigsegg , Horatio Pagani, and many others who are bringing back the coachbuilder style of designing the very BEST OF THE BEST automobiles on the planet. Their passion shows through their incredible automobiles. I like the fact Gordon kept the legendary three seat position that reminds me of the Ferrari 365 P Berlinetta Speciale in the 60's with that same unique three seat with the driver in the center design that Gordon had in his original F1. No doubt he probably took inspiration from that Ferrari 365P Berlinetta Speciale that had the same design. It's incredible that Gordon came up with that incredible fan design in the back which helps to make the vehicle perform like a car with a wing for superior downforce during spirited driving. That rear fan design is a very unique looking design that actually has a purpose on the vehicle. Absolutely stunning automobile and if I were a multi-millionaire, this car would be at the top of my "wish list"!

    Dear Jay, thank you for this great video.

On one of the pages there were about 20 or more design drawings for McLaren F1 shape and this new car reminds me of one of those design drawings. No fussy lines, vents - i think its rather beautiful .. One love from UK x

    When Dario nailed the throttle at 37:30, my first thought was OMG, that thing pulls like the race-prepped Shelby Cobra I drove in 1968. The previous owner campaigned the car for a couple of years and wore out the Ford engine. Building Ford race engines was and is very expensive, so the guy had a Chevy L88 engine with a much hotter cam fitted. Don Larson, the evil genius fabricator of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, made an oil pan with drag link tunnel, and a set of his signature exhaust headers. If you didn’t know better, you would swear the Chevy engine package was a factory installation.
    I’m still smiling over the memory 56 years later. And the sound of that Gordon Murray car in today’s episode…Thank you, Jay and Dario!

      Thought the same thing, it reminds me of the Porsche 918 Spyder, hard to believe that car is 10 years old, like the F1 it could roll off the assembly line as a still modern car today. I think that is what Murray and Porsche understand, clean lines well executed in a car design will age gracefully. I think some of the other super cars with all their wings and tacked on aero will age like the old Countach and show their age.
