FIRST LOOK: McLaren P1 Drift Car - Mad Mike’s Rotary-Swapped ‘MadMac’!
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 08. 2024
- This is the world’s most insane drift car. A mutated McLaren, it’s the brainchild of ‘Mad Mike’ Whiddett, with a little help from McLaren experts Lanzante and luxury car specialists O’Gara Coach.
Now, a McLaren P1 drift car would have been silly enough, but ‘MadMac’ (as it’s affectionately known) fuses a P1 body with a 650S GT3 carbon chassis for the added protection of the latter’s roll cage. Oh, and then whatever McLaren V8 you were expecting has been ditched for a turbocharged, triple-rotor set-up. Peak power is close to four figures…
Myriad other changes have been made to get it drift ready, so here’s ‘Mad Mike’ himself, plus Lanzante boss Dean Lanzante, together with Top Gear’s Ollie Kew, to give you the full lowdown…

Rate this build? What should @MadMike.123 tackle next?
Mk1 nsx with a v10😅
Not a P1 guys. Big mis-information in the title.
@@tyler9703 Read Description dude
@@tyler9703it is as much a P1 as it is a 650S GT3, both cars use the same monocoque but the 650S GT3 version has an integrated cage which is why that version was used. The body is an authentic P1 GTR body with 650S doors that allow for larger cooling ducts. Lanzante was the OEM for the P1 GTR. Very little of the rest of the car is original mclaren but what is there is from a P1 as far as I can gather so it is no less correct to describe it as a P1 than as a 650S GT3.
@@flacjacket The only body panels this thing has from a P1 are the rear-clam and the hood. That's it. Everything else is 650S. It uses the chassis from a 650S.
Forza Horizon 5 NEEDS a car pack dedicated to Mad Mike’s builds
Fingers crossed for Forza Horizon 6. Japan and Mad Mikes Cars!
A New Zealander revolutionizing a McLaren Hypercar is only fitting, amazing how nature comes full circle like this. Bruce will be proud and cheering all the way from Motorsport Heaven 😇
100% well said.
IN the Lanzante shop, who was the offical shop of the McLaren F1 GTR.. that is not any normal shop.. it’s the holy grail of McLaren shops outside of the HQ. A lot of really amazing custom made cars have come out of that shop.. like.. super high end hot rod stuff
This better be a Hot Wheels casting soon!
Waiting for this!
I thought it already was. Pretty sure the hot wheel was out before the car was revealed.
*Edit* Never mind that was his 787D.
Stl file😂
Straight up
with that design it will be sick.
14:58 "So much torque....the chassis twisted coming off the line" 😂
This guys just comment dont know anything :(
@@ondomarley3506 you seem to not know anything.. It's a damn Fast and Furious line jesus
How do you know the chassis twisted?😂
@@Skyrexx7 lol it did tho, watch the youtbe build on it. it had that much power it bent the venturies and intake manifold.
@@Skyrexx7 Dude it's a line from The Fast and Furious 😂
Normally when you see a McLaren of any stripe going sideways, it's not for very long and/or the driver is about to be in a lot of trouble.
This is amazing.
watch the madmac build, they specifically rebuilt the whole steering designed for drifting
I laughed when he said not scary just hilarious in a mad way......If hadnt ben raining and mike could of given it the full send in the dry , i would say he would be frightened. 😄
he was scared when he was testing the car in NZ lol
Was gonna say the exact same thing, if it was dry he'd be bricking it
Just saw him rip it around Goodwood FOS. Amazing
Tavarish punching the sky
Ikr😂😂😂
Actually not, this thing isn't road legal and the kit is an add on. Tavarish is actually redoing the entire car.
@@MR021_ Along with the Fact that Max has the backing of Redbull, A shop with everything they need, and a full race team building the car.
Both builds are incomparable
His build should be done in March of 2032.
This whole video is just wild. An -Australian- New Zealand bloke with a -Bondi Beach- surfers bod, with blonde dreads, who drifts, for RedBull, and drives a 3-rotor swapped McLaren 650S GT3 dresses up as a McLaren P1 GTR, with a complete widebody kit, with rally inspired aero Rotiform wheels up with deeeeep dish wheels in the back, AND the exhaust tips placement… What a mad combination.
Didn't start as a P1.. but awesome nonetheless
I guess thats why the name mad mike 😂
This is coolest mad Mike car he ever done
All because of 80's Tamiya RC cars 👍🏽
I loved my Tamiya RC car. Had a Hornet, then upgraded to a Falcon.
But then when Kyoshu cars after that. Better 4wD
Lanzante built three life size running versions of the r/c cars which were shown at FOS about ten years ago
Mad Mike is a legend representing rotary’s for life
Absolutely brilliant, and that run was in the wet and still dam mad fantastic. Fantastic to see Mad Mike succeed in this marathon build.
Only fresh to track, with bugger all track time, great to see no real teething problems.
Crikey i have been in a 427 purpose built Drift Monaro.... smashed just over that 300km/h in a 50 k Street, have been thru Turn 1 at QLD Raceway, at 200k throwing it sideways..... this is phenomenal feel and by crikey, just look at that grin on Mad Mikes face, it says it all. Fantastic video, chat and demo.
MAD MIKE MAKES SURE KIWIS CAN FLY!!!!
People need to stop complaing about what type of McLaren it is and enjoy it
Who are you to dictate what others do? Sit there and shut up.
No. They are completely different cars. A 650s costs 150k and a p1 is 2 mil
Well said mate people need grow up stop moaning and end day it's not up to them
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again You actually did the same right now.. smh
From my understanding, so far, it's a 650 made to have the looks of a p1.
Love some of the extra detail about Bruce Maclaren and what the Goodwood Festival means to Mike. Just inspires me to save my money so I can get there one day.
Love to see Van Gisbergen drift that
Mike is 100 times the drifter gizzy is
Thats a sick build, with pipes showing off, widebody kit, and crazy wheels, bedroom poster stuff.❤
3:27 you don't need no redbulls when lord Ganesh himself is in your car😏
The way that lip brushed the apex curb at 19:24 in the wets. Mad.
Mad Mike next project should be Rolls Royce with RB or Rotary😊
.... weight.
I mean, someone did put a JZ inside a Rolls Royce iirc
land whale of a car lol
who want that kinda platform
it's doable but meh
100 days. Mental. Brilliant.
Amazing craftsmanship shown... Nothing is impossible for this guy... By far one of the best car builders out there.. Mad Lab... You guys knocked this one out of the park... I loved the Lambo build... But this👌👌👌☝️
Love that proud Kiwi is on every McLaren logo 😂
This is build is so insane. I love every bit of it, even though it makes a little sad to see a McLaren P1 cut up and all that lmao but with that being said, the quality and the literal art put into it and the attention to detail makes me say oh what the hell what they did with this is incredible.
They didn't cut up a P1. They took an old 650S GT3 racecar tub and bolted Lanzante's P1 GTR body panels (which they normally use to convert regular P1s into P1 GTRs) onto it. There's nothing from a factory McLaren P1 here.
😴.. Enjoy the build lmao! @GaryPigott
What an amazing build ! This is truly one of a kind , especially turning it into a pro driftcar..
What they achieved in 100 days is nothing short of spectacular 😮
But every video on it says it's a P1 driftcar... it's a 650s gt3 with P1 GTR bodykit, and with an added rocket bunny widebody. So it never had the hybrid system or the P1 spec engine.
Cutting a real P1 into pieces would just be crazy...
Man, this thing is CRAZYYYY
Thank goodness Mike could walk us through the car. Ollie: "durrr, look at the panel gaps"
Insane car. Mad Mike does NZ proud.
This build is just insane, MadMike is such a legend ❤😊😊
Awesome video TopGear team 😊😊
Love the fact Mike gets to show the world the crazy stuff coming from from NZ/Aus.
Bugger all to do with Aus mate. All dreamt up and built in NZ
@@ttv8ra23 he literally runs aussie made haltec in all his cars. Not to mention the bloke who tuned it is an Aussie.
@@R34Sumo yeh the ECU has very very little to do with the uniqueness or amazingness of this car or the guy. Typical aussies always trying to claim the best parts of NZ as their own.
@@ttv8ra23 lol yeah jog on bud, thats exactly what the comment says........
this is basically what DDE has been doing and tryihng to do for years
Been an awesome project to watch unfold. Also out of all of his cars this would be one hell of one to get that ride along in!
100 days😮👍👍👍 such an honor to drive a car like that and so much talent needed to be the driver. Awesome story, Mike. 👍👍
I’m amazed I’ve still haven’t seen a single “They’ve ruined the car should’ve kept it stock” yet.
They too busy commenting on tiktok and Instagram lol
They too busy commenting on tiktok and Instagram lol
They did ruin the car. Why ruin a P1 and turn it into a drift car 😂
He could’ve done this setup with any other McLaren, why the p1 man that’s a violation itself. If McLaren was Ferrari they would’ve sued for sure
Because its way cooler mclaren now with the rotary bits slapped on
@@RK-fi8esunless I’m mistaken, it’s not based on a P1 but instead on the white 650s gt3 car they showed in the vid, with some P1 GTR panels. So they’ve “ruined” the GT3 car, not the P1. I personally think this thing is sensational, looks absolutely wild and also beautiful at the same time. Could possibly be the best looking drift car we’ve ever seen yet
That’s an insane build!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thing is an absolutely gorgeous beast. It is art and it's just insane. Much respect to the build time!
I hope LEGO makes this a kit just because MadMike says we don't do LEGO builds 😂
Lego is releasing a stock P1 set shortly, a bit of recolor and extra fabrication should land you a tribute MOC of it
RedBull livery on a McLaren 😂
If it was a Ferrari they would be preparing for a law suite 😂. lmao
That thing looks like a prize straight out of a video game
Only just discovered your channel, that McLaren is one of the best builds I have ever seen to be fair, and not building Lego or car kits is a great attitude, amazing
19:56 it sounds like a laughing fox haha.
Rotary magic
This car needs to be brought to Japan
RIIIIIIIDGE RACER!
No car is save from drifting cool to see , why build it or buy it if you can't enjoy 😎 rotary power makes this crazier.
Unbelievably awesome
Not sure what mikes gonna think of to top this 😂 maddest drift car I’ve ever seen and was a great build series to watch
11:51 Lazante did a bang on job
I watched this build a number of times perfection absolute cinema
So just how do you top this one?!! Cheers heaps to Mike and everyone involved with this example of drifting nirvana!
Unbelievably awesome. Please bring that freak show to Florida. Now would be great
Nope, USA can stick to their muscle cars. Japan/NZ/Australia love Rotarys. Piss on ya Hellcat 🤣
@@evilisforbidden3981 Got it. Btw, not a Hellcat dude. I roll to the tune of a 1250rwhp C7 Vette Convt with an a94 Procharger and meth and a 7-speed manual. It’s insane. Keep kickin ass mate
@@SellingLAandMiami Sounds like your car is locked in on rails, can only drive straight. Doesnt seem very fun to me. Hope you got a damn roll cage for that thing. I must say im not a snooper. I was just taking a guess. All jokes a side, Im not into muscle cars at all. I dont like V8's etc. Strictly Rotarys. Totally different car culture. The sound they make is music to my ears.
@@evilisforbidden3981 Understood. Our IMSA series here in States had those rotary’s monsters rippin around awhile back and were insanely loud. Also, had a couple motorcycle buds whose street rides were modified RX-7 3 rotars and were a blast to drive. I like them too. The C7 Vette is incredible on the track. It really is. There’s a badass black RX-7 on here that is pretty bonkers and has a Quaife sequential crash box. Be sure to check it out if you haven’t. Cheers to all us maniacs . Be well
This car is amazing.. Mad Mike and his team have built a masterpiece in my eyes. Everyone that contributed should be extremely proud of what they accomplished.
i was at goodwood when it was going round, it sounds amazing in person and ive seen it again at FOS
We've really gone full circle in terms of McLaren's special relationship with New Zealand.
It started with Bruce McLaren, and now it's continued with Mike.
Mad Mike: No matter how expensive the car is, it won't stop me from modifying it.
What sick car Nice one Mike 👍🏽
Definitely the most insane build ever. Absolutely nuts!
This is what DDE was trying to accomplish for 2.5 yearss and their car is stilll broken down and used for clickbait every 3 weeks 😂😂😂
There also using a motor that has no aftermarket everything they are doing has never been done. Sure this has never been done ether but rotary is tried and true.
DDe didn’t get donated a hypercar and don’t have an unlimited red bull money
DDE are doing it legit, not being gifted one. They also don’t have an army of mechanics and money from RedBull.
Red Bull paying for the build. 😅
Crazy how you bring up DDE comment on this video
I like Mad Mike i have the passion for the cars and respect the bild. Nice one. One of my dreeam cars P1 😊😊
Wow, what a build!
19:53 might be the most pissed sound I’ve ever heard
Absolutely epic build from the MadLab and MadMike. Cant wait to see what he does next.
The MadMac has to be a contender for the next season of Top Gear Tunnel Run!
Dude is all chill and happy once he gets behind the wheel that all goes away gets a real stern look and goes like he's running from a swarm of bees.id love to have him scare me in the passenger seat
What noise restrictions 👌🏾 Phenomenal 👌🏾👍🏽
Pretty much the sickest since KB's Hoonicorn .. WOW!! P1 my dream car/dream car , then to drift mode it .. WOW
650 gt3
Thankfully no P1s were harmed in building this car
5:22 like those dde style tips tho lol
This car represents life is too short just live it.
Will it be added to FH5? It would be really cool!
This is MADNESS!!
What a machine Mike congratulations on the build and to all who built it a rotory in a McLaren’s dream big hustle harder
Did ya'll hear this man??He said he doesn't show off any wealth he's rich in car's...Now this is a real one he loves what he does and what really got me is the hat to the back.....MAD MIKE you can come to my hood any day to hang out bud you're the man!!!!Down to earth type of dude.....
For me, it was “a passenger seat is a necessity in every car.” The dude loves sharing what he loves as that’s a beautiful thing.
@@FilmoreISnAZN YOU AIN'T NEVER LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😍😍What are those wheels?
Mike is absolutely mental, in the best possible way.
OMG NOW I APPRECIATE MIKE ESSA AND TIM AND SHAWN OF DDE 10 TIMES MORE FOR ATTEMPTING TO CONTINUE TO BUILD THE F12 FERRARI DRIFT CAR ON A LIMITED RESOURCES,DAMON FRYER IS A MAD MAN TOO OMG I AM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS TOP GEAR VLOG ,DEFINITELY ABOUT TO WATCH THE MAD MIKE BUILD FROM HIS CHANNEL
This is a masterpiece...
Love it all other than the front wheels
This and the T.50s Niki Lauda seem strangely similar in a way to me, I'd like to see them in a side by side comparison. Also nobody in the comments noticed the vid clip clearly stating"P1 gtr & 650s gt3 tubs are the same except fia spec rollcage."
P1 gtr doesn't have a rollcage. The FIA allowed it to not have one since the tub was very stiff itself. Since the 650 gt3 has a rollcage, it isn't as stiff as the p1's. Also, I didn't know the P1 chassis and the 650 share the same vin number....
The coolest drift car and the coolest driver, ngā mihi Mad Mike 🤙🏾
The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of! Absolutely EPIC, Absolutely Insane!!!! We Salute You!!!
My dude running the Moza Sequential shifter......savage.
That engine sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome machine P1 GTR 😊
He said ye thought it would he brutal but was smooth....in the wet there is no sideload so thats the reason it was just gliding. Different when its dry and the entry speeds are way up there ajd the change of direction is a snap.
It’s like building a car in a video game with a ton of power. No grip just sideways all the time 😂
Most awesomest McLaren ever made.
This is the dream of a champion.
Mad Mike is tha man. 💪🏼
😢so beauriful😢 i need to fix my daewoo 99😢 i need casho do that😮😊
I love it! Mike is amazing!
Why they call P1 if is not a p1? The car sounds amazing
A P1 is essentially a hybrid 650s anyway. Same carbon tub and chassis, but everything from the tub back is what you’re paying extra for.
This looks like a Liberty Walk design. Its almost as sexy as the Liberty Walk Ferrari 458
It's a Rocket Bunny kit. They're both Japanese and have very similar looks.
Everyone needs his attitude 💜
Nice Crowded House reference.
Send it to the tunnel
É uma 650S mas que facilmente supera qualquer P1, que ronco lindo 🤌
Would love to see this against the hoonicorn in a drift or a drag race even mental 😂
The Hoonicorn is not a drift car
@@aftrnoon_ac the hoonicorn was solely made as a drift car. Wtf are you talking about
@@markkrzan2236 The hoonicorn is a Gymkhana car, its 4x4. Drift cars are RWD.
@@BenExellI dunno, it seemed to drift ok when I saw it going up pikes peak!
@@geopolitix7770 4x4 sliding and RWD drifting are completely different things. You cant enter a 4x4 car into a drift comp lol
Effort = reward..🎉😮
Nuts!!! Next project..... T50 with a four rotor?
All this means is Freddy will make his car like 3000hp 😂
Defination of INSANE
