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

I still find it incredible just how great Tims videos are when essentially it's just him and a camera. His narration is impeccable always. The Elva looks incredible with the windshield that's for sure!

@@KristianDabeski they differentiate a lot more than lambo or ferrari. The 720 is its own interior the 12c and 650 were very similar and the elva and artura are very similar. The thing is they don't use a fiat or vw parts bin so every button feels more unique when ur in the car.
I spotted a mistake. In 17:52 it´s a GT not an Artura. Great video. Greetings from Slovakia.
The windshield makes it look soooo much better.
In terms of Aesthetics - I still prefer the Windscreen version!!! It looks more 'balanced', more poised... I also expect it would be a much nicer drive too without all the stuff that gets flicked up off the roads, insects etc and won't need a crash helmet to drive it!

Love the quality content you put out day in and day out great work Tim. And your knowledge of cars is incredible
An amazing machine, thank you for showing us around and the drive.
Been a big fan for many many years Tim. These are my favorite videos to watch. Just awesome 👌 perfection!!!
That car is astonishing!!! Excellent video!!!
the fact you can constantly think of information/be entertaining on camera WHILE dricing a hypercar flat out around track is just amazing. its like you were born to do youtube.
Honestly wasn't a fan of the windsheildless version of the Elva, but this one with the windshield looks fantastic!

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!
The paint looks immaculate!! Wow💙
Awesome content, Shmee! You're very lucky.

Hi, Tim! An old fan here, who kinda forgot to watch your videos for a couple of years :D Nice to rediscover your channel and watch you show us exciting cars, I just have one complaint - it's 2022, why no 4k? Anyways, glad to see you still making interesting videos for us to enjoy! Cheers :)
I didn't know a windshield is optional! It looks amazingly well! Thanks Tim! 👍😎
That color combination is absolutely spectacular
Great video Tim!
Doing things like this are incredible, the private course access is very special.
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's absolutey incredible that you got see and drive that Absolutely Gorgeous Elva with the Rare Windshield option and I think it looks absolutely incredible
Love track content videos and what a car and a location to do it at. Awesome video
Good looking car with the windshield…love it! 💣💣💣
awesome, shmee! Looks like Speed Racer's car from the animations in the 70s
Looks wayyy better with the windshield. Wow it looks great
Sir you are looking good I really like your video 👍👍👍
This Elva is looking just spot on!
Looks very good with the wind shield
I believe at @17:53 that is a McLaren GT, not an Artura?
Literally my mouth was watering while you were speeding down that straight 🤤
*Unreal how fast some of things go I'd love to send one of these*
Elva looks so cool. It is a dream to drive any Mclaren on a track or even on the road.

hey Shmee you make me laugh and smile Nice attitude! and Yes we are guys who love our Hot Wheels Amen!
I love my head on my body and the windshield option 🙃😂😅
Stunning car, the grip is amazing, what more if you slap some trofeo R's in them.
Love this
Lovely car
I think you are crazy to get the windshield if given the option. The one without looks so much crazier and much more special.
damn with the windscreen it looks damn amazingg
The windscreen makes the car so much more useable
Is there some kind of coating/laminate on the windscreen? Look at the way light from the floodlights is affected by it.
Car looks sick bruh.
#shquad......hi Tim, fantastic drive a real challenge on the senses. 👍😉🔥🔥🔥🌶️
It's more elegant with the windshield but the idea of the radical barchetta has to be without any glasses. So I like both specs ;+)

The windshieldless car actually looks very good, and makes the one you drove look weird. But a sick car none the less
It looks soooo much better with the windshield! I wish the Lego one had it as I probably would have bought it then.
Awesome car
Windshield looks cute, it looks like a Lotus.
Can't digg the windshield. Only my opinion. Yet another great video 🤙
It’s all about courses for horses, but that definitely looks better with the windscreen. I’d be tempted to wear safety glasses… you only get one set of eyes ✌️😎
The spec and a quick glance on the sides show a XP7W denomination. If it is correct this is the first Elva prototype fitted with the windscreen
I’ve seen an Elva with the windshield last September in Italy. IMO it looks better without it, but it still looked incredible

Way better with the screen.

Windshield for the win, the ones without look super weird.
I'd much rather take a windshielded one. Looks proper.
The windshield just makes more sense than barchetta on that Elva IMO.
Looks way better with windshield!!!
looks so much better with a wind sheild
The first Proper looking McLaren. This is MY style!
How come have Monza SP2 in America? No windshields
I prefer this. Looks better and you can use it
I love it 💕💋
It Shmee, Snap, Crackle and 'quite a lot nicer to look at!'
Ive only seen 1 Elva, w/o windscreen but it looks much better with it.
Saw the Elva at Blenheim Palace 😁

Nothing ain't gonna stop Tim from wearing his favourite shirts even while driving a speedster at night in winter.
Wind screen makes it look better in my opinion
I like that brain bucket. Dude, youv’e gotta get a Troy Lee Designs(or something like it) custom paint job on that thing. Something with the Union Jack 🇬🇧 in it.
If triple f ordered one I would like to think it would look something like this. I like it more with the windshield
Looks a lot more balanced with a windscreen
I’ve driven one of these. It’s called Radiator Springs Racers at Disney’s California Adventure
I absolutely love what Mclaren are doing nowadays

@@KristianDabeski Their cars are based on speed, losing weight. There’s no need to have fancy Ferrari interior if it contributes to weight. 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. That’s mostly the same with the senna, P1 and 765LT etc. Just because the interior it’s luxurious doesn’t mean it’s a bad car.

@@Way-M there is a reason why McLaren can't even sell out their limited edition cars and keep flopping with Elva, GT, and soon Artura. They just try to emulate Ferrari but they are basically giving you always the same car, with same engine, same design, same interiors and same vacuum cleaner V8.. while Ferrari totally nailed it with all the 812 line up, Roma, sf90, Monza and probably even the 296gts. Mclaren just need to stop doing too many models if they don't have the resources, customers and can't keep up.
6:24 is this tire low pressure light?!)))
I bet Carol Shelby would have loved this one!
Tim would you please do one more lap...but slower...so I can see what's happening?
Reminds me of the 918
Looks more like a Lotus like this as its got a wind screen. Should have an air scarf
The rake of the windshield looks off on camera. Maybe it's just the angle
Looks way better with the windshield.
