We've probably seen the numbers on this over 1000 horsepower under 1500 kilos, but what makes it so special is is basically bar sight, isn't it?

And when you look at the other vehicles that are talked about in this space, the really high beast I'm mainly by Gatti and that's got so much more inertia and in friction.

It's got four drive system, very wide tires, and you look at the shape that's quite a bit going on to disturb the air.

It was This is a different philosophy minutes.

It's basically a ton lighter than Cheryl and that that's a massive amount of difference.

And you really feel it when you suddenly back off the throttle at 200 miles an hour.

Shiran feels that you smashed the brakes on this thing, parachutes out the back.

This thing just coasts along, so it's a very different experience.

It's No, it's what about that sensation you talked about?

Because it's not maybe a real world situation most viewers that getting experience backing off 200.

But it's like the you used these in black.

You feel that there is a sense of deceleration, but you just feel a little bit of pressure on your belt.

And the numbers don't really change in the cars that I suppose rival this back off and it's like someone smashed the brakes.

So it's a very different experience, you know?

The difference is, I suppose, that because of that slipperiness is more difficult to give that absolutely I instability on a share on is is, you know, barely moving it to a thing is not wandering, but it moves more, gives you interested.

Yes, Mitt, like the bloodhound last record car, he says.

At 567 people of that skill level could do that beyond 200.

I like things to be absolutely dead straight then this still is, but I wouldn't want to move any more than it does okay, and the other thing that makes this car very special is the layout.

It's lovely, and I think that there was something in harmony special about really brings out your in a kid that's ever sit inside.

So the theater of this, you're about to drive from God in or down to Monaco with you two girlfriends, Ugo way have to work out.

You get again, having spent a day and I go from there.

But then get my feet into the football like that and then a regular cross.

I mean, there's no truly graceful way of doing it is that it's not too bad a driver on your own.

You find it's something very pleasing about having a symmetrical layout like this.

See, You see those in the door and then two big screens.

But anyone bigger than you, you mean anyone That's average height.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to put my arm around you, actually, don't.

Don't get too unnerved, but you get one shoulder behind your Yeah.

Yeah, that's That's just quite small, but it's not for free.

Yeah, you are right up against getting McGinnis.

He must have had a leg hanging out the window.

It was a problem, but But I love all this stuff here for some reason, putting controls in the wrong place.

I in the roof panel is just It's just so sad.

Rather than having a track button or a sort of, you know, a race button, this has a velocity.

But velocity lowers the ride height and changes something that's yourself.

I think it was any one point 5.4 or five mile runway, and I did to 25.

There's no doubt in my mind this thing would be more than 2 50 but if you go beyond 2 50 there's a lot of very expensive engineering required.

I think McClaren took the right decision and said, Well, we don't need is going to make it more unique that they're not chasing 300.

Plus, let's just build a car that's different, and it will do an easy to 50 won the battle when you turn up with something that looks this beautiful and you're sitting in the middle.

Also, what you liked about this aniline leather that's got this, well, ages and it's soft and waxy.

We will be waiting for these things being pounded, hasn't it?

You touched on the styling that when I first saw the pictures of this car, I thought, Christ, that's ugly.

Not was expecting out of proportion, but I saw it once in the studio I've seen again.

Today on DIT is really growing on me because it's so different to anything else.

It's the antidote to allow Hypercar rubbish that's out there at the moment, too complicated and fussy.

So you clearly on an advocate for all these limited run, multi £1,000,000 hyper cars that seem to be getting launched every second.

But but if they could do something truly different.

It's a road car gets seen someone using it properly.

This is the one supercar hypercar thing of the last three years.

I was surprised at how fast it waas because over over 100 miles an hour, it really goes.
