(cool car music)
Guys, I have a confession to make.
I mean, I guess I always kinda knew.
I just wasn't sure 'cause I never tried it.
Oh my god, why is this so hard?
Come on, be brave, James.
Be brave. Let's do this.
(inhaling)
You guys,
I. Love. Super cars.
I love it so much. (crying)
Oh, my god.
That feels so good to finally get that off my chest.
(yells)
Yeah! Finally, I can be myself.
After we shot the McLaren episode of Up To Speed,
the guys of Newport Beach McLaren,
who it turns out are the nicest, coolest guys in the world,
were like, hey, James, uh,
do you want to drive a 570S Spider?
And I was like,
(engine revving)
Yah.
I walk outside to find a beautiful, blue, baby
baskin' in the California sunshine.
Now, I say baby, because this is the entry-level McLaren.
It's a bargain and only
a hundred and ninety-one thousand bones.
First impression,
McLarens look sick.
The 570 isn't nearly as mean looking as the P1 or the 720.
In fact, compared to those cars it's almost cute.
Like Midna, from Twilight Princess.
And once I opened up those scissor doors and strapped in,
I was immediately transported to the Shadow Realm,
and became a wolf.
(howls)
The interior is everything you would expect
from a two hundred thousand dollar car.
So luxurious.
Everything has a purpose
and is exactly where you want it to be.
Except for the seat control,
those are on the front right side of the driver seat
for some reason.
The dash and gauges look like they were made
from the alien tech from
the Avengers in Spider Man Homecoming.
Ya press a button to put in drive
and you twist knobs to select your driving mode.
(beeping)
Why is it beeping?
Track, track, all day.
The seats in our car were wrapped in a beautiful tan hide.
The exact same color as Kourtney Kardashian.
Hate all you want,
they are beautiful, smart, business women.
Kourtney, hit me up.
You're my favorite one
and I would to be brothers with Kanye.
- Oh my god, get over yourself.
- This car gets attention.
Before we even pulled out onto the main road,
a little kid was yelling at us
from the sidewalk to floor it.
In traffic, a middle-aged mom in a Volvo SUV glared at me.
Disgusted by my apparent wealth.
More than you can afford, pal.
And every time we came across anything
that even resembled a performance car,
they'd rev their engine and try to entice us
into some sort of drag race.
(engine revving)
I don't normally like convertibles.
In fact, I think most cars without tops are pretty lame.
But I loved being seen in this car.
I felt like a hero.
I felt like a D-bag.
But, feeling like a rich asshole
is only half the fun of driving a super car.
'Cause these thangs, they ain't just purrty.
They fast, too, brother.
The twin turbo V8 makes 562 horsepower
and gets the little drop top up to 60 in 2.7 seconds.
And that is exactly how fast I went.
60. Never faster.
(screaming and laughing in unison)
Wholly shi-
On a closed road.
With a professional driver.
(both screaming)
This car isn't as fast as say,
the Dodge Demon that we drove in a previous episode.
But it's different and better in every way.
The McLaren, on the other hand,
was extremely maneuverable as it accelerated.
I felt totally confident
switching lanes or taking turns at speed.
The steering feel is amazing,
and extremely connected.
That's because while most other cars in this segment
have gone to electric steering,
the 570 still uses good old hydrolics
to turn them front wheels, boy.
Turns out I like super cars more than muscle cars.
♪ I love drivin McLarens. ♪
♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. ♪
♪ I love Mc- ♪
Actually, I think I like super cars more than anything.
Including my son, Nolan.
Sorry, Nolan.
- Bleh. Bleh.
- Oh, if anybody wants to trade Nolan
for something with a carbon tub
and the engine right behind the driver,
hit me up.
He is officially for sale.
- Bleh.
- This car is everything I thought
a super car would be like.
It's gorgeous. It turns heads.
(beeping)
- [Electronic Voice] Engaging for deployment.
- And it's fast as fu-
But beyond that, it's exciting.
On every single level.
(yells)
- [Felipe] Okay, we gotta chill.
- Every time I drop the hammer,
Felipe would literally let out a sound of joy.
(engine revving and whooping)
I loved blowing past the camera car
looking in the rear-view mirror,
and seeing that they were a quarter mile behind me
after only a few seconds.
(engine revving)
The car literally drew a crowd.
Little kids loved it.
Judgy moms hated it.
It was the complete package.
I actually got a haircut
and bought jeans without holes in them
after I drove this car.
And now, I'm motivated to work my ass off
until I get one of my own.
