[hassoonee]

M engine, so get over urself

have said that, whos up for a quick roberry and get like 10 of them, you can sell it if u want, im keeping it! any takers :P

[republicfalcon]

james munroe is now a disgraced accountant and his two F1's were auctioned off for less than half their value

[sante82sante]

what? 170 mph on the m40 one's? and u didn't get chase by the cop???

[ricardoeldelmustang]

long tail GTR is orgasmic

[ToushiroHitsugaya101]

Mclaren f1 gtr Long tail has been my dream car ever since I was 5.

[xxxn7zxxx]

the longtail version is alot better than normal mclaren

[MyLeft4dead]

what about lJay leno and the guy from top gear i think the guy who owned the f1 gtr and the enzo

[votballer]

@superSuprastar haha yes me to i really liked this car,old times :)

[hotcurry99]

omg f1 longtail orange 1:03 , sexiest car!

[JTSpecial5150]

f1 gt and f1 gtr longtail are the best, gotta love them all

[TheManmek]

Who here likes the idea of building a go kart version of the McLaren F1.

[JoeJoeyJose]

James Munroe was a fool. BIGTIME. He cheated his way into this and now he's in jail!

[nelsonr32]

@JoeJoeyJose. Haha. When they said 'Accountant' I knew there was something dodgy there. No accountant gets paid enough to run 2 Mclarens and support team.

[manidontgiveafuck]

lol so if u have a mclaren you probably have 5 mechanics working for you, in the sense that you hired them for that particular car, not in the sense that you own an autoshop

[Aqeelious]

An old man in my town have three legendary cars in his garage and one of them is the Mclaren F1 GT-R LM !!!

He kept his three cars in the garage for over 15 years like an old barried tresure !! I saw his Black mclaren when I was young and My ohh My she's gorgeous !!!

[jdnic1]

jay leno has one! dude, how could you not know?

[basterbrak]

What a lot of people don`t know, is that Gorden Murry is actually South-African. So much for an all British design.

Thanks

A proud South-African.

[tableoftisch]

THAT guy is a mclaren owner?! lol wow, i'm gonna stop stereotypin people from now on

[michalisGT]

MCLAREN RULESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[votballer]

Omg that long version is so nice car i love f1 long version mclaren the best for ever!

[MaseratiMC12R]

I feel privileged that cars like the F1 and Countach adorned my bedroom walls when I was a kid, instead of a big, fat, 2 tone VW whale

[SICKJ0KER]

Google it

[SICKJ0KER]

I wouldn't doubt it with all the money they pocket

[MrYousafBajwa]

an accountant can afford 2 McLarens?

[1987LOZ1987]

@MrYousafBajwa 1:26 Lmfao, I'm an Accountant and when I heard an Accountant owned 2 McLaren F1's I was like WHAT!?!? Maybe there is hope for me owning the greatest car ever made. So I Googled him and it turns out he went to prison sometime after this programme for fraud (he stole £3m from an American company and bought McLarens and his own race team etc) LOL

Here's a link to the page on the Telegraph

ww.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews­/1353725/Formula-1-fantasy-fue­lled-3m-fraud.html

[MrYousafBajwa]

@1987LOZ1987 hahaha thats hilarious thanks for the link...the things people would do for a McLaren!

[CBRuRedE]

Lovin the orange 'long tail' version. Absolutely amazing machine.

[Deathero102]

@dabomb4333 What was i talking about??? o.O haha

[TheForcefin]

Jay Leno has one, it's black! He's American Mister Brit.

[fozy011]

An accountant? With a McLaren...does he work for BP? wtf man

[aegirer]

ironic that this mister is sent to jail!:)

[SpeedJunkie1]

Whats the song at 3 10?

[qwStyle]

yeah that's right I like the shitty english design more than the awesome german BMW engine LOOOL

[KINZERS13GTR]

Lmao.... HAH!! That guy is an idiot! Did he bother to look under the boot lid! McLaren Did NOT make their own engine, and at the time BMW was the only company up to the task to build what they requested, and then they ended up getting more than they had even wanted in the first place! lmao! The best? Please, Not at engines buddy! Not at engines! The S70/2 is probably still on par with any NA production V12 currently on the market! And its 18 years old!

[KINZERS13GTR]

5.... REALLY SULTAN!! 5!!

[thehowl666]

@KINZERS13GTR i know right. and when the LM came out the bastard wanted to have all 5 of them but mclaren only sold him 2 of them. from what ive read he tracked down another LM owner and offered him a pretty penny for his too. so now he has 3 LMs i believe 2 road versions, and a some racing versions as well. i guess its cool since he probaby has them in pristine condition and no one has ever seen them. especially the 2 LMs with the custom paint jobs

[KingVirmire]

Which model is that @ 1:05

looks outstanding

[KingVirmire]

McLaren F1 = Still the world's fastest naturally aspirated car.

Best road machine ever built.

[SoulGangsta18]

so what this bitches wont build me a brand new one if i pay them 1 m?

[Knightrider03]

The accountant who owns those two mclaren f1s was sent to jail in 2000 for defrauding his employers, according to a google search.

I thought it was weird that an accountant could afford even one mclaren f1 let alone two, that had to be googled!

At least he got own and drive of the fastest cars ever made.

[sakisdog93]

i have three of theme in test drive!

One F1 and 2 GTR's

[Deathero102]

Whats that car at 3:49?!?! XD, it looks like a retarded mitsubishi evolution 10!!!

[dabomb4333]

@Deathero102 thats a mclaren f1..

[DarthRoR]

It is totally british ....it may have an BMW engine .... but it is made in england .... and the british can do it better than the germans and the italians ...

-.- wtf BMW engine think about it ...what makes the car this fast ??? and where is BMW from ... ???? funny guy

[sadanjd]

This is the only car that Bugatti , could be  joules of.

[MAXCDE27]

jajaja, Mr. Benn brother 3:25 min jajaja

[sporeodst]

@MAXCDE27 thats the guy who plays mr.bean :)

[B3NJ4M1Z4L]

dont they cost like £2,000,000 now?

[Mikelaren101]

AHH the one at 1:04 is beautiful!

[mkz3434]

the one at the beginning, drum n bass

[mkz3434]

can someone please name that sweet tune playing in the background?

[EJ25RUN]

James Munroe went to jail wronging his employer and 027R (the final ever GTR) is now in the safe hands of someone who deserves it. David Clark. Former McLaren sales director.

Chris Goodwin, McLaren Automotive’s Chief Test Driver and racer of 27-R as well as main driving developer of the MPR12-C said of this car. “I have driven most of McLaren’s Formula 1 cars and all the road cars and 27-R still ranks alongside Senna’s 93 F1 car as the best car I have ever driven."

[2003SCT]

Google the crook accountant in this interview who bought this car...James Munroe. He stole all his money from McGraw-Hill. Really sad.

[TKLica]

the sultan has 5 what a greed ass

[Luis225pwns]

@TKLica So greedy x(

People like that are so self absorbed in all their wealth. It's sickening.

On another note: This car is an engineering masterpiece!

[temidget2]

@TKLica can you blame him though?

[AgentK38]

doing it better than the germans?

Well.....no.

[mne02]

Certainly the most favourite car for myself, and it's ironic watching this video and Quentin Wilson interviewing James Munroe.

James Munroe as he quite rightly states had a road version and a race version McLaren, but after he was found to be some what corrupt from his personal dealings - James Munroe was actually jailed, hence his great fortune was no more.

From the man that had it all, to throw it all away from corruption and walk away with nothing not even his pride.

[ciscofcali]

O.O .....OH MY GOD ...HOLY FUCKING CRAP

The Long Tale Version Looks Like The God Of All Cars!!!!

Why Couldn't They Have Put The Long Tale Version Against The Bugatti Vayron Not The LM

Loooong Tail Version Would Tarr The Vayron A New Ass Hole Or At Least A New Exhaust Pipe

[mongoosecage]

The engine from Bavarian Motor Works.

[bigblueskys]

Well in fact even if the McLaren/Veyron race was done in 100 degree tempuratures the McLaren being naturally aspirated would have been more affected by the heat due to not having intercoolers, and i really doubt the VE of the veyrons turbos were lacking due to 100 degree ambient temps.

[danny355]

@bigblueskys Everything on Top Gear is just cinematography and entertainment theres nothing real or scientific about anything much they do and the F1 vs Veyron thing wasnt any different. At no point during acceleration is an F1 going to beat a Veyron, the Veyron is MUCH faster all the way through. Not that it means anything, the Bugatti is half the car the F1 is IMO, although I respect them for staying true to what Bugatti means. Now the Enzo would be a good race for an F1

[crv26]

holy balls!!! the long tail is the most beautiful car ever!!!!! ever!!!!!!!!!

[Mark550355]

why are brits so happy when they do something right, e.g. jeremy clarkson, he loves putting the germans down when they built a car "wrong", but when aston martin (who is now owned by ford) bring out a new one he says it is the best thing to ever grace the earth

[Corbon440]

@Mark550355

False pride. I mean when was the last time a British car company did something spectacular on their own? The F1 engine was made by BMW and Gordon Murray was born in South Africa.

[terga1]

@Mark550355 They are british?

[DerickM355]

Have you ever been to the UK? they need something to be proud of because there's not much else....The rest of their cars are ugly except for Aston Martin. And the whole country is pretty ugly as well....

[ac3jc]

@DerickM355 not to mention that they have the last two reigning F1 world champions on their team. I think the UK has a lot to be proud of. im not from there by the way

[500377770]

@Mark550355 and people think Americans are arrogant LOLL

[Loydm30]

i thought Mr. Bean drives an old mini cooper....LOL

[FourSidedPiston]

Why are you people so surprised he owns one? He's not the only comedian that is a complete car nut. Take Jay Leno for example. Their only difference is that Rowan (a complete car nut) acts like a retard to entertain people, Jay makes jokes.

[SChaconJr]

Aside form the silly technical derivatives, this car is incerdibly gorgeous! It's inspiring. Cheers!--to an overwhelmingly great automobile.

[Exitachy]

lol mr bean got mclaren f1?

[ssssroryssss2]

Best car ever made and even the "standard" version has a better 0-60 time than the Veyron as demostrated by top gear.

[ghlibisk]

not true. they were in 100 degree plus weather, which affected the volumetric efficiency of the turbos on the veyron, basically sapping it of a bunch of power until the blowers spooled up

if the same race had been done on a cool day, it wouldnt have been that close

[ssssroryssss2]

I don't believe that story. Even if it was true, doesn't it say something about the reliabillity of the Mclaren? Being able to do its max in almost any weather? I think Top Gear didn't use their track because they knew the F1 is faster through the corners and thus would have won.

[molotov2123]

Their is only one LM that has not been sold the 1st one, the prototype, it currently sits on the showroom floor at Mclaren HQ, and has been promised to be given to Hamilton as a present.

[Felotec]

Yeap, If he wins 3 F1 tittles...

[M3n00b]

LOL...I'd like to see that car with an english engine.....

[itchytriggerfingers]

The sultan of brunei is a greedy cunt!

5 Mclarens?

[SeigeCJ]

why can't he give me one!!!!!

[sanyi1107serial]

mclaren enzo better than bugatti in track....

bugatti is fastest car ,,just foward...not race track....

[locomax5000]

the owner is in jail by fraud

[RS3113]

brits cant build shit better than italians.

[SeigeCJ]

lmao

[Sueds90]

well.. obviously they have.

[RS3113]

false

[Sueds90]

Since ferrari, lamborghini, and maseratti hasn't built anything that can out perform the mclaren f1. They CAN build cars better than the italians.

[RS3113]

not really... they just arent better.. just look at the history, the beauty, the elegance.. this doesnt change much.. its an amazing car but i still dont believe that they are anywhere near what ferrari can do..

[rottenzeidler]

wrong

[molotov2123]

The heart of the Mcleran isn't Mclaren its german. And as for Ferrari, they make everything onsite, its all Italian.

Don't get me wrong I love Mclaren, especialy the LM, but its not all them. You would expect that at nearly 900000 British Pounds for 1 standard Mclaren F1LM, that they could atleast make their own engine

[Akabuena]

damn, mclaren is the best (my opinion)

[koenigseggforlife]

It is not an opinion its a fact

[veyronzondaf]

I agree with 'mytuber81' below.

I've got to own a McLaren in my lifetime!

[mytuber81]

McLaren longtale, sickest car on the planet.

[grey2fox]

God this is one of those poster cars that adorn our walls (still do in my room)....just pure porn to look at. This thing stayed as the #1 in the world for so long until the Veyron came along and I don't think any other production car can stay at the top spot for as long as the McLaren. The Mc can still kick Enzo ass at top speed.....now we got plastic toys from Toyota and co .....*sigh*

[muiszush]

never could a wage earner own such a car.... must be a rat that steals..

[abcd827]

I personally think German cars are the best in general, but it's easy to see that Britain may have made the greatest singular car ever.

[ChicknNudleSoup]

the host at the end pisses me off. Britain is better than Germany and Italy. fuck you prick.

[simonfarmery]

James Munroe - Disgraced accountant, used to own one black F1 and an orange longtail GTR (chassis #27R) which the latter was used to win the 1999 British GT Championship. Obtained the cars through deception which he defrauded the company he worked for, McGraw-Hill. As Munroe was found guilty and sent down, the cars were auctioned off for half its recommended re-sale price and #27R is now owned by David Clark, former Sales Director for McLaren Cars during its production run.

[zoomer46]

oh god , i remember this schmuck now,how he got away with it for so long i'll never know,but the way he flaunted it like on the program is beyond belief,he deserved to go down big time,hope living the dream for a while was not worth the shit he got into for it.

[Azoicum]

I'm gonna save some money. stop smoking and stuff.F1 mcLaren, I love it.

[MrViicc]

it would be funny at 4:28 if like a huge semi truck would just run over it while hes gloating about it, im sorry i would choose the bugatti veryon over this anyday if i had the money

[platnuim86]

oh dam mr bean has one

[simonfarmery]

and he crashed it!!

[83willz83]

he told us that he did 170mph on the m40 lol -.- wouldn't the police try and catch him??

[83willz83]

lol an accountant -.- lol they don't earn that much do they 0.0

[acidangelster]

what s with the "england s got the biggest penis" attitude huh????

Its a nice car....but noooooo....people have to go to the next level!!!!

[Riles07]

funny that the fastest (top speed) of the three versions is actually the civillian model.

[hrthrhs]

dude, shutup. You know nothing about the Veyron. If you did, you'd have more respect for it.

[spectre1209]

Damn, sorry, should've watched the entire video. Thought they said they only knew one.

[spectre1209]

George Harrison owned one. He drove it in a Beatles special or something. Wonder where it ended up.

[danydaplaya]

I WOULD SELL MY SOUL FOR THIS CAR..

[MY599FERRARI]

Me too.......ski mask and a gun ???

[freedomsoldier187]

no mate sorry you "cant" do it better then the

germans, as you said it has a BMW engine, that

awsome sound and power comes from GERMAN engineering !

[lamboguy02]

a few mclearens are the f1, f1 gtr, f1 lm, and erm the erm thats all i no lol

[lovegt40]

not so sure u in Uk can do it better than us down here in Maranello..sorry... :)

[turboterra]

i would agree with you bt the

SSC ULTIMATE AERO TT

Engine - mid-mounted, all-alloy 16-valve V8 twin turbo

Displacement - 6,348 cc (387.2 cu in)

Power - 1,183 bhp (1,199 PS) @ 6,950 rpm (7,200 rpm redline)

Torque - 1,094 lb/ft (1,484 Nm) @ 6,150 rpm

0-60 mph - 2.78 secs

Top speed - 273 mph

[shaftiee]

the f1 was built in the late 1980s but the ssc is a 2006 car.

[Biz4rr3Ninj4]

SSC, like ALL American cars is crap.

Not even in the same league as the McLarens and Veyrons of this world.

[lokahgurl]

how about mclaren vs a bugatti?

[girlcrazy601]

i never new there were that many mclaren's
