McLaren Speedtail review! The McLaren Speedtail is amazing -- and it's the coolest modern hypercar, in my opinion. Today I'm reviewing the McLaren Speedtail, and I'm going to show you all the quirks and features of the Speedtail -- and then I'm going to drive the Speedtail and review the driving experience.

1 driver and 2 girls, one on either side. McLaren really thought of everything lol.
As the adage goes from the times of the F1, the three seats so you can take both your wife and your mistress on the roadtrip.

Curious to see what the Tesla roadster will actually be at 0-60. Cause it's nuts thinking how much faster the current target on that car would be if it does hit 1.1 seconds.
Crazy to think the Model s plaid is 0-60 in 1.9 lol
Kudos to the triple F guys for handing their awesome car over the Doug so the world can see and enjoy it!
7:53 don't know dude...
I love that Doug has the same enthusiasm for this car as he has for the Ford Maverick.
Porsche: Our badges are stickers to save weight!
McLaren: PLATINUM BADGES
they have stickers as badges but leave a leather interior, it just doesnt make sense
@@rodolfoo3015 don't forget the fabric loop instead of a door handle too 🤣
@@nonsequitor Especially because in the Mclaren F1 video he says that the tools are titanium, whereas here he says they're gold. I assume that he's correct in the Mclaren F1 video, and wrong here.

@@kargaroc386 Its impossible to lossen a nut with a gold wrench. Too soft. Probably titanium nitride.
"Ive borrowed this speedtail".... Something you'll never hear from anyone but Doug
Yeah😂 it's kinda wtf
🤣 so true
The stradman did it first lol
😆
And supercar blondie
Would be interesting to see some outside camerawork, especially on shoots of hypercars like this one, the Rimac Neverra and the Plaid to get a bit more context on the acceleration. I'm looking out the window when you punch it, and obviously you are being pushed into your seat, but it would be cool to have maybe at least a couple cameras recording the start and end of your acceleration test.
I love the 90s concept aesthetics of it, it can fit right in NFS2 with the 112i
When just the badges on a car are worth more than a full size premium SUV.
Worth and Cost are two entirely different things.

It's remarkable how mclaren maxed out the trunk capacity in order to rank higher on the dougscore.
I always thought it’d be cool for people to use brightness changing glass vs tinted windows, really amazing to know it’s a thing now
Loved this review! Doug's enthusiasm is infectious. The only thing I would disagree with is the rating for styling being lower than the Bugatti Chiron. I think the Speedtail is far more stylish, but that's a personal thing.
Imagine a future where every parking lot has wireless charging pads integrated into the stalls. If you park like an ass the pad won't line up and won't charge your car.
Lmao actually though, just like when your phone is a few milimeters off of the wireless charger. I wonder how a system like that could work with trucks? Receivers on the bottom of the lower suspension arms or something? I suppose what i mean is with something as low and flat as the speedtail i feel like it could be incorporated into the car without a problem. Some tray that sits under the battery tray on the floor. Maybe air suspension that lowers your car when you park would get them close enough? Sry for rant i just like your idea

3 of my favorite CZcamsrs are here. Doug, PLK, and Digital Car Addict. Brilliant!
Waiting for Thursday’s weekly update video😏

Thank you for a great video and the metric conversions!
Doug need to start selling merchandise like a t-shirt that says “THIS!”
I normally don't care about merch, especially youtuber ones, but if the only wording was "THIS" in giant letters across the front, I'd buy it.
Gonna buy those
Also "Quorks and features" and "two cupholders"

And definitely *CARS AND BIDS!*
You know it's a serious car when Doug puts his jeans on..
its not
It's not, not its not...
Looks so much better with the wheel covers off !! I’d only put those on if I was on track trying to hit top speed.
We had a speedtail come out to a cars and coffee meet in oklahoma a couple months ago. 100% one of the most stunning things Iv ever laid my eyes on
Doug broke out his special denim for this one.
Passed down from his father Leno

"solid gold tools to save weight"
are ya sure about that one doug?
Yeah, more like gold plated Snap On tools. Solid gold is way to soft to make tool out of.
Yeah gold is one of the most heaviest metals in existence lol
Apparently they’re solid titanium covered with a gold colored plating
I wonder if he was thinking of the engine bay in the F1 being gold-plated. A simple brain fart from a guy who obviously doesn't work on cars, or he'd know that solid gold would be useless for wrenches and screw drivers.
@@alecmartin4779 that's not gold plating.
Lol you are hilarious Doug, using your thumb when counting to 3 haha. Quirky as it gets and I love it!
Reminds me of the scene in inglorious bastards in the underground pub lol.
An amazing watch for car lovers and for future McLaren's. A piece of art. Seatbelt coming from the right would be the same as right hand drive cars. Great Supercar plus 3 people 250mph.
"Hey man how much you make in a year?"
"Well, less than what the 3 platinum badges on a Mclaren Speedtail cost"
Less than the cost of only One of these badges
"i make about an S-P-E-E a year"
12:52 How did gold tools save weight on the McLaren F1? What heavier material would they otherwise be made out of?
Woah Tay Zonday is a car guy! Never would’ve guessed
I went looking for this comment, surely titanium is a better option.
Gold's extremely malleable as well 🤣 so not much use for car tools at all.
@@mitchhifi9192 He made a mistake, the tools in a F1 were made of anodised titanium, I assume that it's the same for the Speedtail.
I suspect it was more aimed at the f1’s gold heat insulation/foil
Never saw a mention of gold tools on the f1 ,and I’ve watched most f1 stuff
What's the point of these tools on a car Like this?
Did anyone noticed the Senna at 2:14 looking like Han’s rx7 veilside in f&f Tokyo drift?
The toolkit is actually 24k gold plated titanium...
doug when you said "...miles per hour" over at 9:54 after the last word...your eyes are glistening, and you just look so happy. bless your soul, man, one of the few youtubers that deserves everything good that happens to them. proud of your recent successes

Keep your friends close and your McLaren keyfob closer?
@Patrick D 19:07? What op suggested isn't actually in the video
That's what he wanted you to think.
Don't know why they wouldn't have an option for the reverse cam to be sent to the media screen as a rear view, tap the screen and media options come up, after 10s the cam returns. 15 years ago I did a project at college for chromatic glass visors, cool to actually see them implemented.
thank you very much this video is very helpful to all us future speedtail owners !
Imagine that chromatic windshield chipped
Mclaren: “ that would only be $200,000”
Wonder if it will malfunction after a decade+ like some of the early chromatic rear view mirrors did. Just instead of the blob in the rear view your entire windshield has a dark blob that never goes away.
@@CordovaMage Scary thought
To be honest, the guy who pays that much to have platinum badging probably wouldn’t be too bothered about paying for a new windshield!

McLaren: Hold our wheel plate..!
Could have watched a half hour episode on those and the roof switches alone.
The wheel fairings reminds me to late 2000s F1 cars.
A small but interesting point.
Gold is heavier than lead.
Look at the Periodic Table of Elements.
The Yellowish tools with a greenish Hugh are likely made from Titanium as is the case in the F1.
Cheers!
Doug reminds me of the scoutmaster we had back in the day who would enthusiastically gesticulate when conducting us through the campfire songs..
Props to Doug. l'd be nervous touching a $4 million car, let alone driving it on a public roadway.
But crashing it would get a lot of views!😜

@@user-jk7yz3xs8z and? it’s still one of a kind that’s technically illegal to drive on public roads let alone he was probably going 180 sometime during this
Doug: McLaren is making too many special cars
Also Doug: McLaren makes my favorite hypercar
Doug is ludicrously and idioticly contridictive...he says most things just for views and likes
Except for he literally said in his video that McLaren should stop making all their special cars, and just make this one.
@@mia1shooter how is this contradictive? The two claims he made have literally nothing in connection. Yes, McLaren does have way too many limited run or ultra expensive cars, but they can still be absolutely amazing regardless of that.
Great video man!
Triple F collection must have had some really good ties with McLaren to not just get one of these, but the xp3 prototype. You can see a Gordon Murray influence on this car. Especially with the tuned induction noise above the driver and all the lightweight materials and toolkit.
McLaren: literally flexes the body for a rear spoiler and has innovative wireless charging technology
Doug: For features this car gets a 7 out of 10
I think he didnt want it to completely surpass the F1 on the doug score
Since this car is literally completely better than the F1 in a technical standpoint, but F1 is still a legend
thought that was strange too the car is definitely better than the f1 by far in terms of period correct technology
Totally right
It should have been a 9, and the styling should have been a 9 as well. He purposed held it back for some reason. Maybe Jay Leno said he'd have him killed or something?!?
Nah it ain’t better than other hypercar like pagani, Koenigsegg, Bugatti so of course it wouldn’t be more than 7.
"The speed is unreal, absolutely amazing, handling is fantastic"
Sincerely,
3 Million Dollars
I actually laughed out loud
Let’s get this one up
There
+ another Million in options, so 4M
Not like most of the buyers of this thing will ever drive this investment on wheels, just gonna sit in a garage for most of its life
Lets be honest, it's not 3 million because it's worth it and good value, it's 3 million because 3 million is more prestigious or 'special' than 2 million, 1 million etc
looks like an 80s concept car, love it!!
ElectroChromatic glass is so cool to me. And pretty simple/achievable technologically. I hope to see more of it.
My understanding is it is essentially an LCD like the old 7 segment calculators.
This thing straight up looks like it does 400mph
While standing still!
Actually it barely does 400 kph
@@davel7037 I guess that works too, since it’s a euro car most of Europe uses kilometers
Funny, it only goes 50mph with all the old men who own it
But it's slower than a veyron from 16 years ago

Could you blame him

I always wondered why can't a car manufacturer like Toyota make a car that looks similar to a hyper car but really just has the same engine, performance and price of a Toyota Corolla? I mean I couldn't care less about driving super fast, I just like the cosmetics of the car.

The tools aren't gold in the F1, they are titanium, if they were gold they would be super heavy and super useless because gold is way to soft for tools.
Doug increasing engagement with his flippant, non-factual comments.
@@rickc2102 He reviewed Jay Leno’s F1. They were in fact gold colored, but whatever
@@jaypaint4855 Gold and gold colored are not the same thing. You don't make some thing gold to save weight.
@Ivana Notyers English might not be his first first language, but I guess 1st grade geography was brutal for you, Einstein, huh?
Probably a titanium nitride coating which gives an extremely scratch resistant, bright gold finish
It's official: Doug made the word "Dougcember" absolutely worthless by already releasing MANY bombs this year.
He can only top this by reviewing tanks or planes.
Ps: the ones he dropped already, were:
Bugatti EB110
Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport
Koenigsegg Regera
McLaren Sabre
Ferrari F40 vs Carrera GT
Ferrari SF90
Koenigsegg Gemera
McLaren Speedtail .. and i probably even forgot one or two
He spoils us. I mean holy shit, I thought he couldn’t top the EB110 but here we are

@@dxshawn532 thank u
U need to have a mounted camera on u specially when your driving a fast car like this we wanted to see/know how fast it can be in accelerating though u said it loud and clear but seeing with our own eyes and hearing it from other’s mouth are a whole different kind experience n yet again BIG FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was gonna buy one but the no cup holders were a deal breaker so i got a civic instead
Literally half the country melting in 100+ degree heat.
Doug: THISSS...is me wearing pants for the first time in six years!
sound like average in my place and i wear denim jacket.
You know that he filmed it maybe a few months ago ?
Always wondered what kind of shape his knees are in. :-)
He probably dressed formally out of respect for the Speedtail
Wait, isn't 100 degrees the boiling point of water
Doug: **criticizes McLaren's too many "special edition" cars**
Also Doug: The McLaren Speedtail is my favorite hypercar
Guess after seeing the car got his opinion changed
Just because they are all awesome, doesn't mean, that there isnt too many of them
This isn't a special edition car, is it?
McLaren probably had a quiet word in his ear. Car reviewers never come down on a manufacturer for too long as they would lose all the “perks”.
Also Doug: P1 GTR is the most unbelievable driving experience
It has an 90's style. I like it.
I could not agree more with the final Doug score o7
The tools aren't gold - they're titanium with a titanium nitride coating.
If they were painted black and he called them black tools would you correct him saying "they aren't black, they are titanium coated in paint..."?
@@jook13 how is that anywhere near the same example? These are very different metals, with very different costs and properties. Solid gold tools would be insanely expensive (not that this car isn't) and extremely impractical to use (not that anyone would) since gold is a very soft metal, and also contrary to what he said is very heavy.
@@jook13 That's unfair. He didn't just flex with his geeky knowledge. Instead, he corrected a factual error.
They are titanium to save weight. Gold was used in the engine bay on the F1.
@@jook13 12:47 he said they were SOLID gold tools so, yeah, Andy had the right idea...

I got to see the Speedtail recently amongst several other new McLaren models and I did not expect it to be my favorite of the lot but it was, by far. The side profile is always the shot that gets shared the most but the front and rear of the car are absolutely spectacular.
The Dodge Nitro shirt really gets me, I love it.
Doug: This is possibly the most expensive speedtail
Manny Khoshbin: *laughs in hérmes*
Now it's the second most expensive speedtail because BDD had a fender bender with it a few months ago.
Most Expensive because this is the best feature from McLaren Speedtail they could offer, on the other hand, Manny's Speedtail collaborated with another leather company.

@@Johncena-od8gu What makes you say that?
I was talking to one of the engineering team for the Speedtail, they explained the paint that covers the flexible rear spoilers cost hundreds of thousands to develop because normal paint would just crack and become discoloured. Amazing.

12:47 Of all people, I'd expect Doug to know the F1 toolkit is made of Titanium and not Gold. They are gold in colour because of their coating.
Also, solid gold is one of the worst metals to make tools out of.
Also, has he never seen a picture of a gold ingot? They are gold coloured but don't actually look at all like solid gold.

The camera/screen instead of mirrors is a very good idea, except the cameras should be positioned so they are on ALL the time, not just when the cameras are out!!
