Fact they even managed to get these cars together for a group test is astonishing. McLaren alone is £15-£20m so overall it must be £30-50m really is the dream come true test.
Not really, this is two homologation specials and a supercar. The 911 GT1 and CLK GTR were built for the high speed stability at le mans and endurence, not outright performance. For christ sake, the F40 and 959 outperform them both in acceleration and speed, so no these arn't hypercars, let alone supercars. The Veyron, Agera RS, Chiron, Venom GT those are hypercars.
I just need some goddamn onboard shots. How in the f*** does a business meeting happen like this: "So yeah we've got the most legendary cars from the 90s..." "Ok focus the camera on the drivers face. Don't mount any other cameras in the car."
He did walk you through the whole interior to the point where you could sit down and drive off. Just put the engine note together with that in your head. You can complain about anything, can’t you?
Take a look at the number of incredible vehicles DK Engineering stock and sell - it’s entirely possible they just had them all in-stock at the same time.... :-0
I'm surprised this content is free to watch, its quality is out of the charts. Thanks to all of you at Carfection, this is gonna be one of the iconic car videos in the next years for sure!
If I was a billionaire with a stupidly large collection of rare and exotic cars there are only 2 people on the planet I’d trust to drive them; Chris Harris and Henry Catchpole. Both would drive the cars the way they’re supposed to be driven but also cherish and respect the experience. This was a great video. I never get sick of seeing a McLaren F1 hooning around a track. Very much looking forward to the next two in the series.
The lime green Miura at 9:47 just peaking about in the back shows the collection of cars there is so immaculate! Going to love these three videos so much
I thought Carfection is at a point it couldn't get better anymore... But Henry just stepped up next level again. Damn, I'm lost for words to this masterpiece.
Been watching some the DK Engineering videos - the attention to detail those guys put into restoring and maintaining classics like this is incredible! Another brilliant video though guys, keep up the great work!
Completely speechless this was able to happen. Never thought these OG Hypercars would ever be reviewed again together. The 4K video captured their beauty perfectly. 🤩
A Carfection production, Henry Catchpole, and the 3 pinnacles of hyper cars. Nothing on the internet comes remotely close, i'd happily say nothing eveer will and i havent even finished this video yet. Utter bliss. The CLK GTR's journey from DK Engineering to its new owner in America was also fascinating to follow, glad the new owner is using it properly and sharing it with the world too. Perfection, Carfection!
these three cars is the reason why I am a carguy today. Thank you Carfections for bringing me back to my childhood! This!! Is purple hearted passion and serenity all in one
This might be the best trio of cars to ever be reviewed in one shot. Chris Harris did the duo with the F40 & F50 back-to-back on a track day, but these 3 are truly Unicorns. Amazing, can’t wait for the next instalment!
I think we can honestly say that getting these 3 together and actually properly testing them makes this the most special car review in history. Hats off guys!
In my opinion the Mclaren F1 is the finest road car of all time, the only thing better than seeing new content on it is it seeing it coming from one of the finest automotive journalists of all time, great stuff Henry, I would say you are a lucky man but you have certainly earned the privilege.
I have seen many hypercars, special editions of desirable cars(LaFerrari,250 GTO, r390,xjr,veneno etc.) and i have yet to see any single of these legendary pieces of engineering. The F1 especially... man i'd kill to see one in person especially an LM... you guys are setting up new standards. Top Class
I’ve witnessed all of these in various evolutionary states of race spec crash spectacularly, retire and triumph at Lemans. This film is utterly spectacular.
I cant ever see, no matter how much times passes, how any EV will ever bring such joy and emotion as any of these three do today. Even the hybrid La Ferrari, P1 or 918 will never be able to be so pure or emotional, so personal. A time when GT cars were made for men that had the ability to drive them. Not utubers who had the cash to buy them.

It’s rare that I actually cheer for car reviewers. However, I’m genuinely happy for you, Henry and Carfection team! Thanks for bringing us stunning content of the greatest car of all time!
I remember seeing a silver one for the first time as a boy on a car magazine I picked up in 1999. Love in first sight. The fascination was so deeply etched in my brain that I still remember that feeling as if it was yesterday. 627 horsepower. What a number... It was mind boggling to me because nothing came close to that number in all those magazines I read. I can't believe it was 20 years ago. My childhood heroes are now classics.

Well chuffed with this video. Here’s to all the best for Henry in the future. !!

Truly astounding work.
Proud to say that I've seen Chassis 37 in the flesh back when I was in SA. That's something you could only say of a Mclaren F1, no other car comes close!

I know right. Weird.
The F1 wasn't made to be rare infact it wasn't made for the price that it is now , but still i would love one in this colour or black
Homologation specials
The fact theres a bright yellow miura in the background and its not even mentioned is saying something about the level of these cars
This wins the internet today. The F1 is the absolute pinnacle for me. Well done Carfection, I hate to think how much the insurance was for this test!
Had it been any other car show presenter/personality I'd have been so jealous, but with Henry I just think "I'm so happy for you."
Saw Alex Penfold shoot all 3 of these together! Amazing cars 😍
Legendary. There's something so special about capturing those moments, that simply observing is a thrill.
That Miura at 9:43 , such a beauty you cant unsee it
