IT'S HOW FAST!? McLaren Elva Flat Out on Track in Dubai

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It's time to see what the McLaren Elva is all about on track! Limited to only 149 cars, join me at the Dubai Autodrome to drive this optional windshield equipped car in anger thanks to McLaren Dubai. There's fast, and then there's Elva fast...
The Elva is McLaren's latest Ultimate Series hypercar after the P1, Senna, and Speedtail, offering a permanently open, lightweight and pure driving experience. With 815hp from the 4.0l TT V8, and being McLaren's lightest ever road car, it's definitely quite the equation on paper but let's find out what it's like on track with the Dubai Autodrome Club Circuit at our disposal.
In general the Elva is not equipped with a windshield, however for homologation primarily in the USA one was made available, that can be ordered anywhere in the world. By having a windscreen it takes away the need to the Active Air Management System that the car normally features in the nose and makes it much more regular in terms of appearance and experience. It's expected that up to 10% of the cars will have this fitted, making for a very rare option overall.
Thanks for watching, Tim

    The McLaren Elva is such an Awesome Hypercar!.. For me the Windshield Option is a "NO-BRAINER" for me!.. Frankly, I'm Really Surprised that 90% of the Lucky People who were able to buy the McLaren Elva "Didn't Option" it! Especially since it's "Not" Just some Normal Roadster Windshield, because it's Much Smaller than a Normal Windshield! Also it's Completely Bespoke to the McLaren Elva & Extremely Well-Made with All the Best Lightweight Materials!.. I Bet that the Majority of the People who Bought the McLaren Elva w/o the Windshield Option are going to Keep it Parked in their Garage and Basically NEVER Actually use the Vehicle for what it was Intended for / Capable of!.. But Hey... It's their Money and if you Buy it, then you can do Whatever You Want with it!.. - Cheers!

There’s a reason why a 720s is faster then a 488 pista both round a track and in a drag race. The boost allowed a mass increase in acceleration due the very little weight the 720s has.
