I’ve been let loose in the McLaren Elva! It’s a race against the rainstorms in Miami, with the 1-of-149 hypercar from Woking equipped with the rare windshield option. Let’s check it out in detail including unseen features like the waterproof rain cover, and paint matched helmet. Let’s go!
We’ve flown over to Miami to check this particular car out, where the owner has kindly allowed me to take the key and bring you along for a drive. While I’ve been spoiled to drive the Elva before; firstly from The Space DXB on the road, and also a factory car in anger at the Dubai Autodrome, I must confess those happened in such a blur that the experience hasn’t felt very fresh in my memory.
This particular car is finished in Gotham Black with some amazing details and accents, including the number 5 that links to the number of Bruce McLaren’s last winning car at Spa-Francorchamps. Tucked away under the rear decklid stores the matching helmets wearing the same livery, and also the temporary roof cover that will very much come into play today.
After a quick look around the car in Miami’s Design District, we’re then straight out for a run with plenty of cracks from the 4.0l TT V8 through the exhaust system, across the Causeway to South Beach. However, with the weather turning fast, we’re darting to an underground garage to tuck away and keep dry.
A huge thanks to the owner of the car and the team who arranged the visit and opportunity to share this drive in the McLaren Elva!

Imagine driving this cool car in Sunny Miami, while everyone is watching & recording you, & then a Quad-Turbo W16 passes by, stealing the show! How embarrassing would that be? 😂😂
Much prefer your 675lt which is still my favourite car that you have 👍
Why not just get an H2r?
Bruce McLaren… Gothan Blue.. Bruce Wayne…
Calling a normal super car hyper just because it doesn’t have a windshield even though it does is moronic
13:40 😂😂😂 The best moment of the entire video!
Wonderful Blue that. Miami weathers indeed..
🫰🫰🫰
Hairdresser styling. Shame!
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
the interior looks so cheap – just a toy for spoiled boys
Johnson Betty Perez Kevin Lopez Sharon
Luxuary of the windshield 😂
It's supposed to be without 😉
Ummmm check out that orange peel paint at the beginning looks like a 90s lotus 100k car all day long
Autogun speaking ㅜㅜ
The new McLaren is cool
Mclaren issue is the big amount of special's cars lineup, every single Mclaren produced now is one of " special lineup one" at the point that they have drawn themselves from the very specific Iconic car manufactures group that release limit products line in which the Mclaren F1, the P1 and the Senna are.
Company board needs to understand that the way of keeping a special lineup is not releasing a bunch of new cars as a " unique / special " model. that cause the opposite result of what it should do.
very cool cars ❤❤❤
An absolutely horrid looking McLaren, ugly spec too but no doubt a Shmee type spec. Amazingly ugly screen with 19inch bezels. WTF do McLaren designers think, God knows.
Calling that a Hypercar is like calling Ferrarri F60 America a hyper car. Price is hyper, performance isn't.
Brawn (Ross Brawn) also won GP's in a car with his name on.
Still miss that Senna.
Ofc he drives the 1/10 version
Jack Brabham won F1 in his own car.
Paint could be better
what a gorgeous car😍lovely spec👌shame about the air bag covers for US spec😬
Them down shifts .McLaren gearbox isn’t going to last long changing gears at that rpm 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hall Brenda Gonzalez Melissa Williams Brian
looks like a kit car sorry
give it some SVJ straight pipes then it could be promising
you should have kept the Senna, you could use it in many years from now to buy multiple cars plus it way better than this car
i dont like the elva and i havent even seen the video yet!
149 due to it being a failure. How many years will go by before dimwit Tim gets a short sleeve shirt for hot weather?
How effective is the A/C in such a car?
Is it just me that thinks this car doesn't look particularly special especially for the price tag!?
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈真棒我也想去Miami
Saudi special.
That white Porsche must be with you.
An Elva with a windshield seems too normal😂
There's so much rattle noise
The problem with modern mclarens is that they all have the same engine and all look the same.
I thought that was an “S” for Shmee, which would’ve been kool to see
Shmee: "what is it?" Me: a 720s
