McLaren F1 - RAW Onboard and Fly By Acceleration Footage with Epic V12 Sounds

- By popular demand, we decided to publish some bonus onboard footage of the McLaren F1's BMW S70/2 doing what it does best, making pure, awesome V12 noises.
Here's the main F1 video: • McLaren F1 - BTS with ...
In its day, the McLaren F1 seized headlines for its record-breaking top speed, but in reality, that was never one of the car’s performance objectives and it is actually one of the least interesting features of the car. In this video, Derek Tam-Scott discusses many of the more interesting parts of the F1.
Such as the fact that the car’s designer, Gordon Murray, tried to be allowed to sit in the car while it was crash tested. Or the fact that it’s almost exactly the same size as a Porsche Boxster. And 10 inches shorter than a modern 911, 2.5 feet shorter than an XJ220, and 700 pounds lighter than either. Or the fact that the production manager for the car once spent an entire weekend going to grocery stores looking for the perfect eggplant (well, aubergine) to match its color at the request of the customer who had ordered a car. And much more.
The car is of course one of the most revered and desired cars of all time. Derek asks (and answers) whether it’s overhyped or whether the car truly does deserve the attention it receives. He also explores the origins of the car, starting with Gordon Murray’s Formula 1 cars at Brabham and McLaren, and on through the development of the F1, including why the car is powered by a BMW Motorsport engine. In the course of this discussion, he reveals the almost innumerable reasons why the car is so unlike any other car before or since, a key part of its enduring legacy.
BTS (behind the scenes) with DTS:
Derek Tam-Scott’s spirit age is excess of 75 years old, and nowhere is that clearer than his taste in cars. At age 16, he went to work at one of the United States' foremost vintage car dealers, which cemented his elderly taste. Now with a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving, and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced many of the world’s most iconic cars. And even liked some of them.
Most of the car enthusiasts of Derek’s generation (and well, let’s be honest, even a generation or two before him) don’t have much experience with the magic of vintage cars prior to the 1980s, and therefore lack the knowledge and exposure to get genuinely excited about them. The goal of BTS is to give an insider’s perspective on why these cars particularly are great...or at least interesting and noteworthy. Derek brings his encyclopedic knowledge and broad experience together to contextualize these cars to give the audience understanding of both why it matters, and what it’s actually like to experience the cars.

Imagine driving on a rural road and a fucking McLaren F1 goes roaring past you the other way
I was overtaken (no surprises there) by an orange F1 GTR on the motorway.
I'll never forget that sight.
Ill turn the fuck around and hope i catch the damn thing
Imagine being that guy on the bike, almost got hit by a mclaren f1
I’m gonna handbrake turn and chase the shit out of that thing
Yeah I would chase it lol and not catch it
According to McLaren, just a few of them are in use today(because of value), but this guy hitting rev limiter and unleashing the sound. Thank you sir!
he definitely didn't hit the rev limiter
@@Xaocka listen closely at 1:34
@Niq ger Lel More precisely 5 or 6 are in the use today...check video : czcams.com/video/haVCTy8mfsQ/video.html
@@FicaGTI Think its just a mis shift this things revs
@@xtrmonkey9421 First he hits rev limiter than he changes gear(up) check 1:34
The sound of that engine is just magic.
Hell yes 👍
Trumpet of the gods!
It’s amazing
I want a similar motor for 1/10th the cost
It will involve:
Toyota GZ (V12)
Carbon fiber ITBS
Custom engine work (no aftermarket currently, so it has to be custom)
The end product should be similar in performance and maintain Toyota bulletproof reliability
@@tony_5156 i would love to put that engine in a chaser
It is a BMW S70/2 v12 engine and indeed it is magic.
Who else liked before watching the video?
Me!
I even liked the ad!
Looks like Skyline Blvd between 84 and hwy 9.
I liked after seeing many likes
Well this is going in the spank bank
along with the zonda r and jesko
Spank bank 💀
Can’t forget that Ford GT running from the cop! The downshift in the video is an instant nut
@@pjcanfield8that videos a classic
@@pjcanfield8that video is engrained in my brain for eternity. That C7 black corvette running from the cops is doing some cool stuff as well
This thing has the best stereo. Accelerating in 2nd or 3rd probably makes the best music.
Long back, Henry Catchpole (then of Evo, now Carfection), used the best equipment he had to get the sound of the F1 with the sports exhaust in the F1 vs P1 video, down to the engine breathing noises. With the sports exhaust, the intake sound is deeper and even more organic. That sound is the most glorious sound I've ever heard from any road car and the best captured sound of a Mclaren F1, still makes you ecstatic. I wonder what the T50 will sound like now that Gordon is even more capable with today's knowledge and tech.
Exactly, who needs a stereo with that V12 singing to you
@@omairsh8 Fun fact : there is a really nice kenwood stereo in this car
especially when you get back on the throttle after shifting into 3rd.
My favourite part is that silence between gearshifts and then that deep roar as you get back on the throttle. The F50 makes the same sound too. Must be a naturally aspirated V12 specialty.
Lack of flywheel or sth
The T50 is going to sound much different as it'll be revving higher and the induction will sound better. So far nobody has heard the T50.
10500 revs/sec response rate means the revs just vanish between shifts.
@@GB-vn1tf We have heard the Valkyrie though and it sounds awesome. Then LaFerrari also sounds epic. But the F1's voice is unique - it is distinctively masculine in character with a surprisingly deep growl and almost sounds like a motorbike engine from outside.
It's intake sound.
This channel really gave what the people wanted :D
Truly Epic. People will be watching this clip 100 years from now still in awe of the Mclaren F1
This video will be history. Thank you for uploading!!
Yep, time huh, forwards it goes.
Bro relax
This is one of those bittersweet videos that makes me cry a little inside.
I'd love to say "One day ...", but realistically speaking, the chance to ever actually drive one is slim to none.
Been on this earth 28 years and never have even been close to one
@@joshuad1716it was in NY I saw it the other week
On the first day, God said: "Let there be induction noise from a V12."
BMW baby
not god, bmw
The sounds that motor makes is magic
it is just BMW v12 sound, nothing OMG
@@moriart13 and what BMW V12 have you heard that sounds like this?
@@jameswillard1 850? It ain't nowhere as good as 812 or avetnador
@@moriart13 nah I prefer it with the intake sound
@@moriart13 you have no idea what you’re talking about.
The induction sound on this engine is just insane. That was what Gordon Murray was going for after all. A proper manual gearbox, very low weight, excellent driving position and amazing sound from the engine not these modern idiotic exhaust systems. If only we can get all this in an affordable package. Sadly with modern emissions and noise regulations this will never be possible.
Just not been done, mate.
I love those induction sounds!! What a car.
Yeah mate, one of his primary objectives was to achieve a nice exhaust note. I mean, as opposed to everything else and the fact that it has a high performance 6 litre normally aspirated V12 engine.
You can get an amazing induction sound with a carbon airbox on an S54
///M Power
this video is dedicated to all the people who haven't been lucky enough to drive or ride it or even to see it infront of them
Thank you so much for this video it's so amazing
there really cannot be that many people who come into contact with a mclaren f1 during their lifetimes unless you happen to be uber rich and own one, work at Mclaren or be a top levl motoring journalist.
The sound from the engine sounds like an baleful bellow. The changes between gears makes it sound like the car is breathing. Fantastic video
no where near aventador or 812
@@moriart13 you’re right, this is far more melodious than either of those two
@@jameswillard1 no BMW engine did ever sound like Ferrari v12
@@moriart13 Nope. It sounds way better than a Ferrari V12 😉
This is much appreciated. Not enough Mclaren F1 videos, especially of the modern era to capture that intoxicating sound!
Woohoo, thanks guys!
Your request came through. Thanks for asking.
Omg this is too good! We asked for this footage and you delivered!! Awesome!!
Watching this beast drive the roads I drive every other weekend is just amazing, and I'm mad I didn't see it in person out there.
Where is this road located??
@@dylanharatoonian bay area CA
@@dylanharatoonian yes, Bay Area, Bear Creek Road to be specific. Part of an awesome loop of roads with low population and low traffic, and plenty of room for bicyclists.
@@dylanharatoonian Around the Briones hills
I came to the conclusion that now matter how much power a modern super/hypercar makes, no Chiron, no koenigsegg, no Rimac or whatever will ever give me that feeling of pure power, organic engine and intake noise, gearshifts, visual drama of the f1. Just even seeing a photo gives me that unique feeling, this car has a timeless charisma, unbelievable
I just know I'm gonna be back to watch this video at least once every couple months.
this is the 5 time I watched this video👍
Living the dream
@@DarkHumorWritesItself Buy the ticket, take the ride.
@@DarkHumorWritesItself Ethanol?
i love that he hit the limiter at 1:35 sounded great
Woah, video on another level. Just discovered this channel on CZcams last week. If it keeps that quality could become the best in the game. Reminded me of Petrolicious!
What a visceral car! Simply amazing.
Just, amazing! What an incredible machine, thank's for the footage.
Driver: (putting on helmet)
Owner: why do you need a helmet
Driver: in case I crash
.....
Owner: iN cAsE yeW woTTTT?!?
These clips of the F1 will be so important in the years to come as it'll only be more and more rare as time passes that people will be willing to take them out. Thank you for this!
Thank you for posting our request. And special thanks to the owner gentleman for driving and sharing with us.
Superb, thank you for posting such rare footage of the F1 actually on a road.

Brings back memories of me driving my McLaren F1 in 2001.....
in Need For Speed!
Just amazing. And love the gear whine, too.
Unbelievable. Thank you for this. The world needed this.
Imagine if BMW continued this V12 line and introduced a S54 derived v12.
Godly 🙏🤩
It sounds exactly like an S54 with the CSL airbox
@@randy438 was lookin for this comment and i’m glad i wasn’t the only one thinking that. Really sounds like an E46 M3 with the CSL airbox.
@@alimohamad6594 same here!!
This delivers. ❤️❤️
I almost broke my trackpad from how aggressively I clicked on this video
The induction noise from inside the car is glorious. No other road car in the world sounds like that. Thank you Gordon you are a Guru.
This has to be the single best video ever to be published on CZcams.
MCL F1 - HD recording video & sound = Absolutely EPIC !!!!
A big thank you to the channel for sharing this 👏🏽
I am now going to listen to this repeatedly, forever !!! 🥲
Best car ever manufactured, thanks for this raw extra video 😍
Not many f1 raw footage on yt. Thank you.
Awww yes I needed me some McLaren F1 therapy this morning. It’s gonna be a good day
It will always go down history is one of the best vehicles ever made. Amazing video by the driver
this is what we wanted for many years no music no bullshit pure V12 BMW F1 screaming on the back roads thank u for this beautiful video 🙏❤
It's great to see a car like this get driven!
billions of videos on youtube, thousands of car videos, hundreds of mclaren videos, a few of the mclaren f1, this video the only one in good resolution, good audio and most importantly, driven as it should be! Infinite thanks
Where was this filmed? Great video
filmed around the briones reservoir and san pablo reservoir
Everyone talks about the sound, but the way the car looks, plus the unique red color, is just a feast on the eyes.
Well, that was a treat. Thanks very much!
Also, this reminds me of the sensation of driving my 1992 MX5...times one million.
ISSIMI, the new Petrolicious. Thank you.
Thank you for uploading this
TIMELESS. This will persist for the ages
What's not to love about this car, other than the price, that is?
Indeed
The production numbers
YESSS! OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD! And our comments have been read. Thank you very much for delivering. If you haven't seen the original video, please do it.
Greetings from Pergamino, Argentina.
I hope ALL the fans of THIS video know that's a beautiful BMW engine making this sound, Similar to 2x E46 M3 engines, the M3 engine makes a similar note but nearly half the power
Repeat after me: Greatest sports car/supercar EVER. 😍
This looks like Sonoma County. This must be the same Mclaren F1 my buddy saw in the Costco parking lot in Santa Rosa earlier this year. I was so upset because he told me about it right after he saw it and I missed it. I did however hear it roaring down the road and it made the most unmistakable sound! If you are the owner of that Mclaren F1 and are reading this, And there could possibly be any way I could meet you and get a ride I would be the happiest man in the universe.
That noise!!! Oh my god. That sound makes me feel like I’m falling in love
One of the best sounding V12s ever! 😍
Dat sound tho’
Driving the car as it was designed to be driven! The mclaren F1 will forever be the goat in my mind. Such a gorgeous machine and so capable even by todays standards. Awesome video thank you!
Thank you for delivering a video of mine and many other enthusiast's dream car....
I love you for this!
Seriously, Thank you! For sharing this type of video quality, sound and this glory of a car for us, Thank you.
This is my favorite F1 video to day. Thank you so much!
Agreed
This has to be one of the most beautiful videos on the internet handsdown
This was therapeutic. Thank you
That have a stock exhaust? It sounded much louder (and better!) than what I remember road going McLaren F1s sounded like. Thanks for adding to what is very rare content out there 👌
It is quite possible it has an upgrade.
There is a titanium sports exhaust available for the F1 from this company called quicksilver. Some owners have mentioned a sports exhaust upgrade too, not sure if that's by McLaren or the same one.
@@Andynath100 either way, sounds excellent!
This car has the MSO (McLaren Special Operations, their in-house special requests outfit) sport exhaust fitted.
@@Dtamscott sounds cheap 😉!
From France with passion and respect ✌🏼🇨🇵😎
You have blessed us with this. The first ever high quality video of someone hammering an f1 from the inside view.
Thanks for capturing that engine sound so well. Beautiful music.
And we're glad you did!
This is the real deal
I looooove the instant urgency ❤
I need a towel. Incredible.
Grateful
oh yeaa, this is a nice follow up after the previous video :)
Me: (to my friend) dude, you've got to listen to this song, it's one of my favorites
Friend: (~3 minutes later) dude, that sounded like 3 minutes of a car being driven
Me: Yeah, I know, it's called McLaren F1 by ISSIMI, wasn't it glorious?
It sure was...
Thank you 🙏
Keep it up guys, I could feel what it was like to be there. You got the perfect footage and audio. The video was amazing.
I think my head would explode if I saw an F1 ripping down the road.
I didn't know this car didn't have power steering.... The sound is pure beast mode. I still have the Pentehouse Issue when they did a full article on this car when it fist "came" out lol great video.
Finally someone who actually gave the car a chance and not let it collect dust OR just took it for a stroll on the street without pushing it.
buy one and hit 100k miles on it
Oh damn i love that car since it came out !!! The fact that u sit alone in the middle in the Front make my heart really skip some beats when i think of driving it ....
This has to be the best car Mclaren have made! It sounds so amazing with it's 6.1 Liter V12 Engine!
Even 27 years after, always THE car of my dreams.
Liked it as soon as he pulled away
Awesome videos Jason, with the best supercar of that era
Why does it sound so good? I don’t think I’ve heard another engine sound like that
wow
Thanks for the ride!
This video is about to blow up
One word: beautiful
this video will break all records
The video in a few years will have MILLIONS of views I'm sure of it.
I was not expecting much from this video, but it was exactly as described. Fair play and thanks for your integrity with regard to the title.
We asked and you listened. Fantastic!
E46 m3 csl sounds like the f1 from the cockpit maybe not exactly but close
Wow thank you for this! I can only imagine it in person!
