You know Jay already has his order in for one. Incredible car! Jay's McLaren F1 has easily appreciated far more than any of his other cars.

Gordon Murray is the only one left out there, who gets what pure driving is all about. And therefore he build the best drivers car once again..thank you, Sir Gordon Murray!

[RJ-nhhw]

This is a superb video presentation where Franchitti adds so much color and information, balanced, educational...one of your "classics" where your working knowledge (Mr. Leno) comes across as an automotive expert. Just terrific...I have no idea how many times I will return to watch this presentation!

Jay Leno’s Garage is my favorite YouTube channel!

[Forrest_]

This is what I've been waiting for!

Best guest ever on the channel.
I would watch a race car documentary narrated by Dario.
He actually bought the product he is introducing at full price (3, 116, 580.60usd) and that, says a lot more than any salesmen technical regurgitation created by a marketing team.
Please have him back on.

"Gordon's family crest goes back to the 12th century..." "Oh so he's been working on the car awhile then?" 😂😂 Underrated joke their from Jay very clever

[adamfrbs]

That's a perfect right car/cycle ect is like someone is tickling you, you won't be able to stop the grinning and the giggling even if ya tried.

[robcossin]

I was this old when I found out Dario Franchitti wasn't Italian. This was so enjoyable to watch and learn.

[jansefran]

Jay is hard to impress ... Well ... That day - it was ... Impressed.

[itsfonk]

Every aspect brings me to awe. Beautifully done.

[bushmanPMRR]

Lets be honest, nobody watching this will realistically ever actually own one but isn't it fabulous that there are still visionaries out there prepared to create such icons?

[AshlynnCairns]

No lie, this is probably the most entertaining thing I’ve watched.

[biafo]

The only youtuber who can review the T.50 and park an F1 next to it...

[Boots_McScoots]

I strongly suggest everybody check out Henry Catchpole's video about the F1 and T.50 over on Hagerty. He's a master.

[LovtoPlay]

Dear Jay, thank you for this great video. About 20-25 years ago, my late mother gave me a present - a book on McLaren F1, it was a big print glossy hard-back'ed history of development and I believe co-written with Gordon Murray. 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

[floydturner]

...maybe the first time I've ever seen Jay genuinely humbled and attentive.

[mitchkelleher]

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.

[Epsonblade]

I needed a few more WOT pulls instead of the black screen at the end. But what a car!

[nwlly]

Best sounding road going V12 ever. Has to be. That Cosworth engine is a work of art, and sounds even better! And true to Murray's ethos: it must be a driver's car. Proper gearbox, not littered with electronic nannies. Just pure. Great. I'd have that over any of the fancy hypercars if I could afford one!
