Forget The McLaren Elva - The Nichols N1A Is Twice The Car, For A Tenth Of The Price

- Today's video is a very special one. This production I was only a presenter and consultant for, because it was shot and edited by my former students from the University of Surrey in Guildford.
We arranged for them to take a first look at the awesome new Nichols N1A - a car conceived by Steve Nichols, designer of the McLaren MP4/4 - the most successful Formula 1 car in history.

![From McLaren MP4/4 to Nichols N1A - The Can-Am car reborn by a dream team ! [PART 1]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/E_vJkhXzk7o/mqdefault.jpg)
Was a great privilege to work with such a great team on producing and editing this film - can’t wait to hear what you all think!
That was wonderful
Its brilliant
You should be very proud , a lovely job
Fantastic jon.....
I loved it 👍👍
Let's hope that this magnificent beast, together with Gordon Murray's new car set a trend for driver's involvement in the future. Nothing beats old school. Good job Jay.
A++ presentation
The trend can only continue if people buy cars like this at a lower entry point... younger car guys are all out chasing power and dragee times
@@dagnut I agree. However, how many of them can drive a manual competently without the driver aids? I remember the days if the family car was an automatic or had disc brakes there would be a badge on it pointing this out!! LOL
@@simono.sniper3214 They are different things and it's hard to be judgemental because I've tuned a lot of cars. There are street cars now out there running 1300hp reliablely on pump fuel..up to 2000 on race fuel..those speeds are hard to comprehend. You couldn't run a car like this without AWD, traction and processors managing the transmission.
I personally don't see the appeal of this past a few airfield launches , it's beyond dangerous on the street but the engineering still appeals...I guess you could argue this is over powered for the street I don't see how even a very skilled driver could access 625hp per tonne on British roads ..with a clutch and no aids?
The guys in their late 20s and early 30s with money to spend have probably grown up on torquey diesels rather than n/a so power is the natural progression.
@@dagnut That is a different subject for sure. I was talking about the total driving experience. IMO, tuned street cars with that much power are a little OTT.
Great job to the students who produced this, Nichols for surprising us all with an incredible design and a working prototype during such difficult times, and to Jay for using his growing professional brand to bring it all together. Amazing, and I want one.
For some reason the presentation and production are blowing my mind. For you and your former students: great vid and keep up the good work!
There’s a bit of a controversy brewing here. There’s an interview with McLaren designer Gordon Murray in the latest issue of Motor Sport mag in which he says, and I quote:- “ I am so sick and tired of all the people living off my reputation. This thing about Steve Nichols being chief designer is the biggest load of rubbish you’ve ever heard. The MP4/4 was not designed by Steve Nichols, I can promise you that. I put him in charge of the monocoque and the front end…. The basic concept of the MP 4/4 was the Brabham BT55 , the 2 cars designs are almost identical.
Obviously more to this story than meets the eye. Be interesting to hear Steve’s side of things the way he sees it.
A topic I will be exploring soon :)
Very interested to hear more of that story.
Murray is a legend, but he could do with a bit of humility at times. None of these things are achieved by just one person, and he would do well to pass out a bit more credit to the guys that he worked with to achieve his own greatness.
@@JayEmmOnCars that is a topic we are all looking forward to hear.
Can you link the interview? I would like to listen to it!
Looks like something muttley would drive in wacky races.
Well done, probably the best film you’ve made.
Love the DC2R just chilling in the background
Living in Melbourne it's a bit weird seeing an outrageously beautiful motor car flashing past my mums house in Surrey on a TH-cam video! The wonders of the internet never cease to surprise me.
Kia ora my pommie cousins, well it's Sunday morning here, I've just finished my bacon and eggs and I'm enjoying this sermon from the gods of speed.
Praise be indeed.
Amen.
(Looking out for lightning)
Congratulations to your students for such a good film. They should be very proud, as should you!
Basic ally chassis, LS crate engine, retro body dropped on top, that will be six figures please sir.
What about this is supposed to excite us? Maybe it's extremely well put together underneath, but this review doesn't tell us that, other than that it looks like a very very expensive kit car to me.
That is what a real sports car ought to be: Small, light, powerful and nimble. Great presentation!
What a fabulous piece of machinery !
"They" can throw as much new tech at us as they like with each new model, year on year, but just as the Vinyl Record refuses to die, neither will REAL CARS .
LONG LIVE COMBUSTION AND DRIVING
Good lord that is one hell of a car, I wanna go... 😁
p.s. Congratulations to the production team, this was so incredibly slick... 👍🖖
I’ve only been passenger for 10 minutes but loved every second - I’ll pass on your kind words to the rest of the production team 😎
I think this is the best 'car' you tuber film I have seen this year, and being retired I have seen a lot. Well done James and your filming crew. Just need carwow to get hold of it now :-)
Congratulations on 5 yrs james, been here since the beginning. Top content imo...oh and by the way just bought a 2.5 boxster based on your review, its brilliant and a perfect compliment to my 91 mx5 ,thanks mate bring on the next 5,cheers from an OG New Zealand viewer ..peace
This was GREAT. I love your 'normal' features, but this was special, it felt like a really professional, interesting and awe inspiring production. Great work!
Hats off to everyone involved in making that lovely film. You can be proud of your students Jay.
That opening shot was great, no edit points - engaging opening monologue.
Tell Shmee this before he buys yet another McLaren
Any brand: *releases new car*
Shmee150: Hippity Hoppity your car is now my property
🤣🤣
@@Fc-cb3tn hi guys it's shmeeeeeeeeeee
What an amazing video! Really like your channel, but even more to see cars like this in the development by such passionate people!
Lovely car. Beautiful infact.? Very slick video - best jayemm production video so far imho.
4 mins in and I’m already in love, the shape is exactly what I’d look for in a car I’d want to keep til I die
You are absolutely KILLING IT lately JayEmm, bravo man, bravo!
What a brilliant production, the perfect way to celebrate such an important milestone.
Your students have done a grand job on the editing, as well as yours usual strong presentation of course. This channel is looking more and more like a polished TV programme, just with somewhat refreshingly insightful and honest storytelling. Will continue to enjoy. And as for the N1A...looks and sounds stunning, but surprised more car companies don't do this by taking existing vehicles and adding a more alluring body wrap to give the old school sensations for a fraction of the price of such bespokes. I have owned Nobles and TVRs and will continue to support the more unusual manufacturers - eminently more special vehicles. Please keep us posted on this interesting manufacturer and all future models.
When I was a young boy and my mum would take me to the toy shop I was as excited as you are looking at cars now... Its great that you hold the energy and enjoyment now....
Beautiful, beautiful film and the subject matter the N1A - wow !! Now THAT'S a sports car. Loved this film and had a lump in my throat with the dedication.
Good on you Jay ...
I must commend your students. So beautifully put together; it was a pleasure to watch. Why not take some of those boxes of TH-cam money out of the cellar and employ a few of them ?!!!!!!!
The instrument binacle looks like several cans of pop!
Superb vid ....your stuff gets better and better!
What a video! I love that you can provide such an opportunity to the students. Amazing.
What a way to celebrate your anniversary. Congratulations to you and let’s hope this marks the start of more films like this. The production quality is excellent.
Motoring and cinematic perfection James. What a car and what a film! Glorious..
Nice to see roads i recognise and have driven for a change....machine looks sweet too.
Great work Jon, you have a bright future ahead of you sir!!!
I really enjoyed watching this and I think it is my favourite video of yours yet.
Thanks Sam
Awesome to see a video at my grandfather Bobby Bell's old garage! He would've loved this.
Such a shame what happened to him... truly bizarre.
hi from Australia. wen u first panned down onto the car it took my breath away, really did. my first thought was M1A which was amazing until the story continued. wat a beautiful piece of machinery the N1A is by Steve n the logo design is so Steve Nichols.
Well done all involved. A great video and a cracking car! 👍
Amazing film, you should be proud of your students!
Excellently made film! Nice work, team - significantly better than a lot of the pros.
Particularly, by the way, THANK YOU for syncing the credits with the music at the end - it drives me slightly nuts when it almost matches but not quite! So, nice touch.
Major props to your students. Great work!
That was fantastic. Keep up the good work.
Great presentation as ever. Thank you once again for the education lesson. Brilliant.
That was a well put together and produced video.. Nice one.
What an interesting car.
Looks fantastic, would love something like this just pure fun and old school driving pleasure.
Well put together video, I really enjoy interviews with passionate car designers. Great pacing and editing.
The car Itself looks fantastic but I am afraid that it reminds me heavily of the Garner Douglas T70 replica which can be had for less than half the money. Although this looks better finished than they are it's s big ask to go another 100k.
Bonus, you can get the T70 in Moda form and it has a roof! (Of sorts).
When MORE FUN IS LESS technology ! .Great job & you've only just begun .
Tremendous. Thanks. Great job with the film.
Wonderful car and really well filmed and edited. Well done guys.
Great video as always thanks from JDS in AZ usa
Great video, a lot of emotional topics covered very sensitively 👍
That was great. You guys should all do that again!
Stunning car and one of your better videos. Loved it. Wish I could buy one.
As a lecturer, this is great to see......well done to your alumni, and well done to you for giving them the opportunity. ...couple of little things that will improve with experience - some of the framing, reflections etc.....
A very interesting car that has been introduced through a really informative and well put together video. Well done to all those involved
That thing looks amazing, great production of the film too.
Great film, solid work by your students, if only I had such a cool professor
Superb effort James. Thanks.
Glad you got the review on this rather than some the usual lot, looks great, take mine in the Gulf Livery 👍
oooh the end piece gave me goose bumps 👏👏👏
The whole thing is brilliant.
Nicely done. More of this
Fantastic James
Wonderful content top stuff Jay
Fabulous piece of work gentlemen. I'm glad superb engineers are still able to 'create' automotive icons. Stunning!!!
One thing. Will it have a nose lifter for all the ill conceived car damaging speed bumps that can't be traversed at ANY speed without a graunch/crunch?
Fantastic film; throughly enjoyed it. Cheers
That was a tribute you can all be proud of.
Sensational video James!
Love it! This has style.
Doubt I'll ever see one here in Oz but can only hope!
Stunning car 😍 engineering masterpiece
Being an old man I can tell old man jokes... the sight of the Nichols going down the road with the turn indicator flashing and no turn in sight was somehow satisfying.
Can see an influence from original Bruce Mclaren cars, love it
What a fantastic car , it speaks for itself, enough said, 😁👍
What a great video whauw respect !!! Nice car also
Thanks J!
I wonder if Gordon Murray is going to claim he designed this one as well.
🤣
Well done Jay, never heard of it before.
Different level. Great video
19:38, if it wasn't for that Renault, that Ocado van would've done you from the lights 😂
Stunning creation, really wanna se the final production model.
What a cool car hope it sells well they deserve every success it brings
Great production…. Beautiful car…👍🏼
20:02 For legal people watching, that Disco was reversing and James didn't realise the speedometer was in kilometres per hour :)
I went to school around the corner from this dealership and drove past it every day as a kid. I used to dream about the Lotus’s and Morgans that live there.
Lovely film
Best auto journalist on TH-cam, keep it up. Fantastic and honest presentation of a perfect machine.
exceptionally good intro to this video 👏🏼
I can't 'unsee' the instruments looking almost exactly like they're mounted in a bunch of polished coke cans from lots of angles.
It's basically a Lola T70 replica
It's nothing like a T70. That's what the Broadley T76 is.
Please, please one day do a comparison with the Gardner Douglas T70. Both similar in concept, & stunning looking Le Mans cars. Well done to both manufacturers, it's great these are still available today.
Well done, lads.
Great video. Analog Brilliance
Brilliant production. Does outdysnfinh justice to Steve Nichols, John Minett and the N1A.
Does outstanding justice to..
Stunning
What a stunner...imagine this in red or Racing green
Lovely looking car. Reminded me of the Lola T70 spider. Jay who makes the gearbox, has it been taken from a Porsche or Audi.
Awesome, what a beast.
