- Welcome to what could be our most exciting review EVER!
Mat’s got his hands on the McMurtry Spéirling, and he’s about to find out if it can back up its claim of being the quickest accelerating road car ever made!
Now before he even gets behind the wheel, you need to know that the McMurtry comes with a reputation! It's claimed the record as being the fastest car to complete the Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb - beating an F1 car to the title by two whole seconds!
But what makes this lightning-fast single-seater so special? Well, it comes with an incredible fan system that helps to generate 2,000kg of downforce! This means the McMurtry is not only super quick off the line, but it can take corners at speed with ease.
In terms of power output, it has two electric motors that produce 1,000hp. Now you may not think that’s too impressive, given EVs such as the Rimac Nevera come with almost 2,000hp. However, whereas the Nevera weighs over 2 tonnes, the McMurtry Spéirling weighs less than one tonne!!
Now, of course, all that power and performance doesn’t come cheap, costing just under £2,000,000. But if the car can break records as it claims, then it’s got to be worth it, right?
All we know is, this is one review you don’t want to miss! Will Mat go faster than he’s ever been before? And more importantly, will he break some records?! There’s only one way to find out… Join us for this ultra-in-depth review and see for yourself!

Fact: This channel has had 2 broken unofficial world records in 2 cars worth £2 million or more. Now, that is a well-deserved achievement to Mat, his team at carwow and the companies that created such insane hypercars.
Agree. Setsuna Yuki also drove this McMurtry Spierling last month. She also loved this car much like she loved Audi R18 TDI.
He really knows how to launch cars.
When was mat even slightly critical of a car over 50k. Quite some time ago....
@@tajothy2692 Literally said world record in a road car...a dragster is not a road car.
Edit: This was a reply to a guy who deleted his comment after he claimed a dragster was faster and I stated that a dragster is not road legal as opposed to this car. Clearly a lot of people have comprehension problems.
@@LoosSerine A damp & cold road as well from the looks of things. And still 2.3s 0-60 on RWD...
The way the whole team cheered at the 7.97" record was just extremely wholesome. Not to mention they want anyone who owns a hypercar to race against them and let them drive theirs too. Their marketing and confidence in their car is just on point.
Free marketing. If you can afford a hyper, they want to entice you to buy theirs.
Can you stop saying "wholesome" you sound a generic tiktok user
@@bigduphusaj162 Yeah, because "wholesome" is a neologism birthed from the depths of tiktok and definitely not a word that's been used for hundreds of years. Stop hating on something just because you think its cool or other people will like/agree with you if you do so, its not and they wont.
@@bigduphusaj162 you're a wet flannel
@@chxlled620 🤣 "Wholesome" < Generic tiktok word used by the same people who used "ohh no" as a ringtone. I don't care about likes small boy, this isn't a popularity contest and you're lucky your on carwow with other infants and Americans or this thread would be full of "get back on tiktok you generic cont"
I’ve gone 8.86 in the 1/4 mile and there are no words that can convey how brutal and mind blowing that feels. My eyes actually felt like the flattened out a bit and my vision became dark around the periphery. To go another second faster would be inconceivable. Matt, you lucky dog!
I would love to experience that thrill
One wonders how do Top Fuel dragster pilots feel.......
Cringe
@@user-dr2ww2jg8ofrom a person with no driving experience... 😂 How do you cringe?
@@user-dr2ww2jg8o u nvr been truly fast bro
Congrats on the 1.4.
That was fun to watch.
That car is sooooo sweet.
Designer and engineers deserve a medal
0-60 in 1.4 seconds is actually something i did not think was possible, without it being a full on dragster. That's actually insane
Watching that speedometer climb like that, I couldn't do anything else but stare with my mouth wide open lol. Absolutely insane
top fuel dragsters will do 0-100 MPH in .8 of a sec.... hard to wrap ur mind around that
If my arithmetic is right that is around 2G (20m/s/s)
theres an eletric rally car that do 0-60 in 1.3 sec
@@svzakw the nitro rx can do 1.4 also not 1.3
Having an engineer on camera talk about the car in detail is priceless, cannot buy better marketing.
When the people behind the car let their creation speak for itself, it makes marketing teams utterly obsolete. The best way to spot a truly dedicated team.
Also throwing down the challenge to bring your hypercar to drag race it and have a go in the car too... its brilliant because anyone who can afford one will likely want to be the quickest on the roads
A Punjabi or maybe a Punani defo no Pagani crack head
Engineers are unsung heroes; straightforward, mostly left brained people that solve problems and are the middle man between concept and everyday use. We'd be in medieval times without them.
Yh bro I was thinking that the way this guy explaining it and I just had my first zoot of the day after work 😂 this guys a gee 💯
This is why this video has more views than any other video of the same car. Phenomenal production and a journalist who actually has humor instead of dull stats.
That car feels like the small toy cars on springs that you pull back and launch super fast but in real size, it's absolutely amazing how fast it goes
It truly seems like Mat can get anything here on carwow. From high-end motorbikes to spitfires to hypercars, to F1 cars to now this absolute pocket rocket. You guys have really outdone yourselves here, so thank you very much for adding some excitement to our day!
PRESTO, Ayumu Uehara and Shioriko Mifune also ever drove this McMurtry Spierling 14 days ago. They loved it.
Next he'll drag race fighter jets. :)
Waiting for Tanks... Possibly battleships.
He even reviewed and flew the Supermarine Spitfire plane, so I think anything is possible on this channel.
Me : still waiting for mat and yianni to do 100m sprint 😁
I just love how much trust and love McMurtry's people have for their product. I mean they help, and actually want, Mat get the most out of it, are all passionate, seems like a great company
I mean this is a automotive engineer's wet dream. Basicly "fuck the cost, fuck the comfort, fuck the practicality, I just want to see how fast you can make this thing go".
@@HidingAllTheWay its actually quite comfortable - atleast they said so
@@23Shadowfox23 it's surprisingly comfortable for what it is - and extremely small sigle-seater race car. It's still very hard to get into and cramped compared to pretty much any other road car.
@@HidingAllTheWay It's great being an engineer when the money bucket is endless, every engineer's dream no matter what the project is.
I couldn't think of anyone better than Max to be their development driver as well. He is such a level headed guy who really just loves the tech and the car he's working on.
I've watched plenty of tests and reviews and have never seen anything like this - the performance is hard to fully appreciate, Mat's reactions are priceless
Second time watching this. An absolute blast. Been 16 months and no news of anything coming close to it. Eye-watering.
0-60 in 1.4 seconds is astonishing for a leaf blower.
Seriously though, all joking aside. These guys are engineering phenoms. What a magnificent car!
Leaf blower ahahahahaha. Good one! 😀
now.. put some 17 years old son of milioner into that car.. I'm wondering who he will kill first.. himself or someone around him???
They have to try this with the 150 mph top end limiter removed. I think this thing could do high 6's. Trim another second and a half and this thing will be in the alcohol funny car range.
@@Tron-Jockey may be the battery would be melted when they remove the limiter
Under 5 seconds to 150 is simply mind-bending. 1.4 to 60 is just painful.
Electric cars have simply changed the rules of the game.
Not only quick, but with a safety net that lets any driver run them.
Mat is amazed by the 7.97s 1/4mile time, absolutely rightfully so, but I don’t think he afforded the 0-60mi/h time the attention it deserved. 1.4s is unfathomable. Unthinkably quick. That should be getting proper recognition. Like hoooow is that possible??!
Yeah the 0-60 was mental
Lightweight + the sucki sucki is the reason it's possible, a 2 ton electric car ain't doing that no matter the power
And from a rwd car too
It must be in the realms of causing concussion or black out from the G force.
It's called an electric motor.
This is the coolest car that’s come out in a very long time! I have been fascinated by fan derived downforce for years and someone has finally done it! So exciting to see the possibilities in a working car!
It was done decades and decades ago... generally banned from racing.
@@Jon02EBwhich road car was that? Because you and I know that's what John was talking about, hence "finally".
the whole car is very impressive, but one thing that stood out for me was* the Brake balance button where you choose to put more brakes in the front of the back. That is insane ! All cars should have that ! My front disk would be in better shape today if I had that !!
Great video ! thanks for sharing !! Very impressive car
The way they cheered for Matt's 7.97" record ❤
They cheered that much most probably because it was the fastest 0-60 run they've done with that car. Since the official test driver himself said he had not gone that fast himself.
@@slonkijippie mat launches cars so much so now he’s basically a professional
@@slonkijippie 1/4 mile*
What was the 1/8 mile time as I imagine it probably had already reached its maximum speed?
Would it have kept accelerating if you turned of the fan mid run?😊
Insane!!!
Congratulations to the entire team at McMurtry. It is obvious that passion is all yours.
first saw your comment i thought you were typing “McFlurry” 😂

This was soooo much fun to watch. Excellent commentary and different scenarios. I haven’t been this excited about a car in a long time. I actually want one :-)
Apart from the incredible achievements of this car I have to mention the color of those wheels... stunning! That slightly purplish grey is subtle but looks so good.
This is the first electric car that I love instead of just respect. It has character, speed, sound. Props to McMurtry
And it comes with a leaf blower and driveway vacuum!
I feel that too, perhaps because it's a very original and true to the electricity technology and how it works instead of emulating and adapting combustion engines technology. Its exciting to think what is yet to come for electric vehicles.
@@michelcarlos01 exactly it’s not pretentious like most other electrics it’s built for a purpose and it does it well
@@gupiwa make fun of it all you want, that shit went 0-60 in 1.4 seconds.
@@thegoalie5233 Who said I was making fun of it? You got something against leaf blowers and vacuums, are you a dog?
The look on his face when he launched it with full power was not one of fun, joy, giddiness, or amazement.... it was sheer horror and discomfort. That was epic!
yeah lol most people would just be a bit scared by the power
Yeah, one for the records!
@@MrSpasticdancer most people would shit their pants mate.
preach
That’s because at 1.4sec to 60 your looking at 3G worth of acceleration that’s just painful
Speechless! I cannot imagine how Mat was feeling during the launches! Probably epoch making historical turn of events feel like this!! Shivered a little actually while watching.
Cringe
Showing the race at the end where it caught up to that other car going 60 REALLY put this thing in perspective. Holy shit.
It is so refreshing to have an "ordinary" down to earth commentator, presenting to car enthusiasts, reflecting genuine emotions. Thank you carwow.
We need more genuine reactions like this in my opinion.
Bullshit!
i swear i been thinking just now the same...refreshing..
I'd love to see Doug DeMuro reviewing this one too! "Thiiiiis..." lol
watson just reviews cars so he can put his feet on expensive things
Max Chilton is such a great guy. Often when you have the teams dev driver around, they can come across a bit conceited as if they're almost annoyed that they have someone like Mat driving their car. But not with Max, you can tell he just loves the car and the tech and was more than happy to have Mat driving it around - and he was genuinely pleased when they realised they'd done a sub 8 in the car!
He looked slightly miffed about not turning the fan off at first
@@bonorcahey5339noticed that too but I didn’t mind it as he was honestly such a great guy, the whole video. That was probably just him worrying and realizing he had to do it immediately as it could have affected the car really badly.
@@bonorcahey5339 just precautions. Nothing rude about it
@@bonorcahey5339 Less miffed than worried I think. He looked genuinely jazzed about the sub-8 though.
That is one crazy goody looking little car . Just nuts.
Absolutely INSANE, never see Matt like this, shaking and shut down for a bit after the acceleration.
Not gonna lie - the acceleration was so brutal it was kinda unpleasant whilst also thrilling. Amazing car this... More to come with it 😉.
Trust me I believe you, I never miss any of your videos you are the best auto journalist in the world. I really felt the rush in your face while IN and OUT of the car.. Woww. Hopefully I wanna see you launching rockets soon. haha..
I'm sure the 7.97 is actually slower than it can go, it's got to be getting most of that time from the front end of the run (1/8th mile) and if the MPH limiter is removed or upped to 200+ it would crush that time. Would it be possible to run again without the limiter?
Please run the quarter mile again without the limiter at 150. I think you can make it 7.5
The sheer terror in your face on the last run is whats A) makes your content fantastic and B) why we are all petrol heads (not sure what the electric version of a petrol head is!)
2g of acceleration actually, Epic Mat epic :)
Matt's face was priceless when he heard "Now we've given you around 600hp..."
He wasn't ready!!!
This is truly astonishing and a engineering masterpiece. Congratulations to the amazing team behind it's design. Now lets see this do a lap around a road course with a modern F1 car and get us REALLY excited
This was banned from F1 decades ago
@@QSGWorldwide I remember, but it would be interesting to see what decades of aero development in F1 compared to a road legal fan car of today would look like
i was trying to find the footage of this car on one of the vids i watched- couldn't find it anywhere, and certainly no mention of what it was...thanx for the vid- this car is insane...
The cheif engineer did such a splendid job using consumer language and displaying this car. Just nailed it, and the pride behind his eyes says it all.
Agreed broke it down very simply .
it was about time they implemented some cheating down-force... i've been waiting for this kind of control with my speed!
i bet it shreds tires in record time.
The fact the car was on a 150mph limiter and it still did a sub 8 sec 1/4 mile is insane. Imagine what it could do without the limiter😳😳!
Exactly what I was about to say but its not even on prepped track. Imagine just juicing it right up just to do 1 rip down the strip.
I know what it could do without limiter. Catch itself on fire.
then maybe it would fly
It would fly lol
Covered a lot of ground quickly to get that time with that low a speed for sure
Proof battery technology is currently holding the whole dang world back from an amazing future .
Seriously, great video that puts you in the driving seat in this amazing British car. I'd love to see this go head to head with a current F1 car round a GP track
20:36 Car accelerating so fast, Mat's soul still in the starting line
😂
🤣🤣
😂😂😂💀💀💀
🤣
The force was probably too strong, as it ripped soul from mat right at the start
I'm amazed at how the car effortlessly did a 0-60 time of 1.4 seconds. That's ridiculous. Good job Matt.
With or without rollout?
@@parad297 No rollout, watch the video.
@@ARKAEA33 Video is too long so. Thanks..!
@@parad297 No problem. 23:06 timestamp for the record run and you can see lack of rollout.
The 1.40 second 0 to 60mph was on the 8.35 run. The 7.97 second run could have been in the 1.3? second range to 60mph?
Range left the chat
So fun to watch. Bravo Mat. What a wild car.
7 sec 1/4 mile whilst limited to 150 mph ? What have they created 😳 can't wait to see this geared for higher speeds and demolishing lap records all over the wourld. Amazing ! Trueley amazing 👏
I wanna see it at an 1/8 mile no prep
Not nurburgring, not enough battery life
Wourld
@@yaxo11 It has enough for nurburgring if the fans power usage isn't too crazy
@@amazin7006 dont you think they would already try, so either car has not enough juice or it is not fast. Nurburgring is holy grail and every company that achieve something brags with time. Even if it is pre production model.
This is pure theatre. Mat looks like he's had a near-death experience. What a lucky man getting to review cars like this, if you can even class this thing as a car.
" now it's time to get out and I'm absolutely broken "
From a car guy myself. Is the best illustration of how fast that car is.
All from a gorgeous looking super car.
Lol the way they spliced the audio/video makes it sound like he's answering as fast as he can like a gameshow 😂😂
This is why we love Mat so much.....he truly is a car lover but also a 'normal' guy, not a former racing driver reviewing cars so his reactions are just genuine! Well done on the records....the 0-60 was insane as well that last run!
Should be 160 - this will be more interesting (even then Audi's time is only 9)...
Exceptionally well said Matthew i couldn't agree more with you on that 👍🏻
Nothing could make me like McMurtry more than being confident enough in your car to let someone else romp it, and still achieve that performance... Un. real.
I honestly don't know if I've ever been more shook from watching a car video. I feel giddy, like a little kid. This may be the most impressive car-related feat I've ever seen.
I feel you so muuuch!!
Yeah 100%
Young Swiss engineers have developed an electric car that also uses a fan system for additional downforce, but it's way smaller and not for track use, just for the acceleration. That world-redord car named "mythen" has 326HP and weighs just 140 kilos.
It goes 0-100km/h in 0.956 seconds, needs only 12,3 meters of road to do that.
What car is that? Please educate me
@@ahsonkusare2352 As said, the car's name is "mythen". It's a Formula Student's Car made by AMZ Racing Team (by ETH Zürich).
Just seek for "Fastest 0-100 car" or "AMZ 0-100" or so here on CZcams... Plenty Videos... Enjoy!
@@ahsonkusare2352 As said, it's the "Mythen", developed by (AMZ Racing Team) Students of the ETH University in Zurich.
You find several videos here on CZcams, just look for "fastest 0-100", I especially love the 5.5 minute Video by Tom Scott. He had the opportunity to feel the acceleration of that car on his own body, his reaction is prizeless!
What a device !
This little car corners like a house fly, incredible.
What in the actual world did I see Mat launching. That's enough proof Carwow is the best car channel ever and not forgetting Mat is the best car journalist ever :)
Soon we may see Carwow becoming Flashwow.
He is the best now..indeed...but not ever. He s just slightly behind clarkson and the team. But just comparing him with the trio shows how good he is
I agree he's the best
0:09 the facial expressions and the head pushed back......now if that car isn't doing the quarter in under 5 seconds all that is an exaggeration (haven't watched the vid yet, so maybe it is sub 5 second car, let's see, I am exited too, and have a similar facial expression as Mat due to my excitement lol )

@@Smzxe how do you know he wasn't a jet pilot?
Wasn't in the 70s. Pretty sure it was 1984, and his name was Sammy Miller and I don't think he was a jet pilot.
@@greatleader4841 uhm this invention called the internet where I can look up and find information quickly. Try it man, it's great
That 0-60 time is basically what you can experience on Stealth at Thorpe Park with an acceleration time of 0-80mph in 1.8s, which is now as of 2024 the quickest accelerating rollercoaster in the world. That feels INTENSE so I can only imagine what it's like to experience that in a car. WOW.
So this thing has the goodwood record, can run an 8 second 1/4 mile, in the damp, whilst limited to 150mph annnd has the ability to destroy Mat's brain.
McMurtry have made something incredibly special here.
Thanks Jimmy, it was nice to meet you in the Donington Pit Lane back in 2021 when you sat in the 'no rear wing' version

And will be road legal
Jimmy Broadbent san, Ayumu Uehara, Shioriko Mifune, Setsuna Yuki, Ai Miyashita, Karin Asaka, Yuu Takasaki, and Ayumu's new friend, Lanzhu Zhong all ever drove this McMurty Spierling once. They loved it.
I’d like to see how quickly it laps Monaco… it’d be interesting to see how much of a difference the low speed downforce makes around that track
Absolutely wanna see this!
This needs more upvotes, setting a Monaco lap record in this would be legendary!
A hot Monaco lap would be a real eye opener.
F1 wouldn't allow it. Would make a mockery of them
Quick question is it a short track? Bcz this car battery doesn't last long
dang, im not even that much of a car person, but seeing matt's emotions i actually felt it myself, this is beautifull
Imagine if they removed the limiter and made it capable of accelerating until the end of race
Mat excels not only as a proficient motoring journalist but also does an impeccable job of entertaining all of us...

That last test with the Audi is insane. Such a good way to show the crazy acceleration.
literally looks like a mini hot wheels car 😂 czcams.com/video/vHd9_690JGg/video.html
Hagerty did it with a bmw M5 going 80mph against a standing Plaid and the Plaid was able to catch up and beat it in a 1/4" I'm sure this car would do the same with ease!
I still remember back when the Ferrari F40 was the pinnacle of speed, and someone calculated this out: If a top fuel dragster (of that era) was parked on the starting line of a dragstrip, and the F40 passed it going a full 200 MPH, the top fuel dragster would catch and pass the Ferrari before the quarter mile was up. This test reminded me a lot of that demonstration.
@@yhk1977 Even at 100mph it takes 9 seconds for a quarter mile so this car would be a second ahead still and the Rimac Nevera would easily beat that as well.
@@yhk1977 That was the E39 M5. Not the F90 M5 CS or M5 COMPETITION.
This is what an F1 can be in the future. Its actually smaller and it would allow small touches between cars while providing even more safety.
Amazing! Good job Matt.
Let's see it on The Grand Tour next :)
I absolutely love this episode. Best thing I have seen for ages. The engineering is spectacular, great video and astounding car.
I would give the thumbs up, if he would just not curse sooo much !!! ! !!!
That's scary fast. I saw fear on his face and felt vicariously petrified myself! What a machine. Well done to the design and engineering team
Imagine what electric cars could do once we get better batteries outside of lithium ones.
We need Sebastian Vettel to test drive this thing given his history with the Red Bull X1 project, and his interest in the environmental impact of racing, given that this McMurty is not only a fan car, but also fully electric.
That comparison with the Audi at the end was so good to just show how insane the acceleration is with McMurtry :o
I'd like to give a round of applause to Mat for not losing his lunch while launching this monster
That might happen once he starts going sideways.
If he's got any sense he has an empty stomach for these kind of things. G-Forces and lunch don't go well together.
this car has Lunch Control

I’m just impressed with the engineering of that car and also how well those tires were manufactured to take that much force over and over again.

@@realMaverickBuckley I know, isn’t that nuts?!
This car has now made the race track cars I got as a 5 year old that you controlled with a remote that would fly off the track if you pulled the trigger too hard, a reality. The acceleration looks literally the same.
Electric Slot Car Race Track is what it was called. Smelled like burnt metal if you kept holding the trigger down constantly 😂
Fabulous to see this is a British concept. It would be great to see a whole grid of these racing each other.
Whoa. That tearful look says it all! What an awesome vehicle!
When I saw the run Max did with Speirling at Goodwood I couldn't believe it, looked like a sped up video game, it's surreal what that thing can do not just in straight line but even more so in corners, insane machine 🙆♂️ Hats off to McMurtry team for creating this pocket rocket!
I was there too on the day it broke the record. Just like you, I also thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, it really did look like a sped up video recording. The gasps from the crowd as it flashed by were also very memorable. Had to play it back several times when I got home to let it really sink in. Just incredible.
Big thanks to McMurtry for letting Matt drive it (twice!)

Reminds me of a scorcher...... Batmobile style....Love it and the work behind it... great video
The reaction, it was so uncontrollably raw, so intense, that it was a pleasure to witness your experience. I don't think I can remember seeing that raw of a reaction.
Thanks
I’m leaving a comment here not just because I’m impressed with the car, the team behind it and Mat’s enthusiasm and passion but also because I want to show I witnessed automotive history. What a milestone this car is for the world. Absolutely incredible
me too

That car is absolutely nuts,excellent ingeneuring works
Mate DO NOT give this to my missus, she will completely fill our kitchen with snacks within half an hour 😱
I love the comparison at the end with the Audi. It really make you understand the insane acceleration from a scenario you could find on a road.
Surely McMurtry and the whole team have actually produced something which is on the boundaries of the laws of physics with this thing. I could actually almost feel the speed through my phone lol.
Something truly incredible here and something to be proud of!
Huge props to the men that made this, Only thing now i want to see this team make pod racers for humans. The idea of taking, this car to race track, and having lots of different youtubers that do supers car daily get smoked, would be a , world star video. huge fan of that car
Let's take a moment to appreciate McMurtry Spéirling for lending their insane hypercar for review :)
Next Matt should review Ayumu Uehara's Sauber Mercedes C9 and Yoshiko Tsushima's BMW Z4 GT3. Ayumu Uehara drove that C9 as her favourite racecar

@@igger562 Hi, I'm real :)
@@igger562 we are very real my friend, but this car is unreal ;)
It looks weirdly tall, until you actually look at the numbers and realize it's 4 inches lower than a Pagani Zonda. It's just...the size of a Kei car. I love it.
Probably because it's so narrow, the abnormal dimensions are messing with us
No one's talking about how he's doing better than professional drivers again and again 😂
Well, at least you are now talking about it. I understand what you're getting at, but within the bigger scheme of things there are lots of topics that won't be covered by default. Now, to the point, what is the "metric" for calling someone a "professional?" is it only a question of remuneration?
@@mattlr01 it was a joke man. Are you an AI or something?
If I hadn't just watched it happen, I'd never have believed it! Amazing
1000hp in a sub-1 ton car is insanity.
this is insane even before we get to the mini batmobile looks, or the fan assist that gives cornering forces that scramble your insides on a racetrack.
tonne*
@@justinbennitt835 oh
@@justinbennitt835Whoever uses Ton will never be correct.
92.815 Kilograms incorrect, to be precise.
@@Shadow__133 Ever hear of the term "dialect" or the phrase "American English"?
Did you know that America uses a mix of imperial and metric measurements?
That an imperial tonis, or ton, weighs 2000 lbs.?
That a metric ton, or tonne, is 2200?
P.S. The term ton is most certainly correct, words don't care about your butthurt feelings or unabashed nationalism...try again.
F1 in 2003 had 950 hp in a 600kg car, pilot included.
23:22 From 0-60 in 1.4 seconds ... Never even thought that was humanly possible
from the look on his face .. it was almost impossible .. I think at 1 sec .. you are close to fainting from the Gs. But will probably see that on this channel ..
@@cridr absolutely possible... the top fuel dragsters have been hitting 0-100 Mph for ages and doing it in .8 sec! it takes a special type of person to handle the G's and not freak out or pass out though...they launch at 6 G's
@@skip741x3 right..we love him but he is not those guys.. also not something for street cars..read street drivers..
@@skip741x3 We're talking about cars with number plates. Not something that's barely fits the definition of one.
@@MuppetsSh0w Only one number plate, so it wasn't actually a street legal car like they said.
Its like an rc car but full size. Insane!
Didn't expect the fastest car to look this much like the 90s batmobile
While Top Gear was a legendary car show with the infamous trio, I think that CarWow with Mat is coming bloody close in terms of entertainment and information. Love the content lately, keep it up!
True❤😫😫
Carwow may surpass Top Gear and even Hoonigan at this rate.
I think it was needed after top gear ended. 5th gear wasn't all that.
Yes I totally agree and yianny makes it even better as well
Carwow should add lap sessions after the 1/4 test, I swear they'd gain 5 million subscribers in one year
I love when true automotive enthusiasts go to engineering school and make something like this. It drives the entire industry forward in one dramatic leap. Great job fellas!
