I Drove My First SUPERCAR!

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:34The modified 540C combines a twin-turbo V8, forged wheels and a carbon-fibre tub.
3:40Taylor and Rory weigh used prices against their concerns about McLaren reliability.
4:52The cabin inspection covers comfort seats, stalks and infotainment controls.
8:06Taylor tests steering response, ride comfort and suspension modes on the road.
14:32Taylor tries launch control before Rory takes the driver's seat for his own acceleration test.

Taylor starts with an admission that might surprise regular Autoalex v2 viewers: he has never driven a supercar. A modified McLaren 540C is quite an introduction, with a claimed 710bhp going to the rear wheels.

The week's only new upload, "I Drove My First SUPERCAR!", has reached roughly 238,000 views. Before the throttle gets its moment, Taylor explores the carbon tub, upward-opening doors and surprisingly restrained cabin. He and Rory also discuss used prices and McLaren reliability, giving the dream-car walkaround a familiar second-hand-car undercurrent. The video includes a paid car-finance claims segment.

Then comes the acceleration. Taylor and Rory laugh in shock, and Taylor declares, "This is the fastest car I've ever driven!" Launch control follows, before Rory swaps into the driver's seat for his own first McLaren experience. The comments are already writing an imaginary sequel: several viewers propose Rory buying a McLaren and passing his Aston Martin to Ben. Others are amused by how often this much performance gets described as affordable.

The McLaren is comfortably the channel's busiest video each day. The immediately troublesome cheap Range Rover remains active behind it, followed by Rory's neglected Porsche Cayenne repair project, now back on the road.

Subscribers grew modestly over the week, although daily views are below their usual pace. Among nearby motoring channels, The Daily Downshift and MattieFlips drew larger weekly audiences, while Autoalex v2 finished close to Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics. For this channel, the week's distinctive pleasure was watching two presenters discover just how startling their borrowed McLaren could be.

What viewers say

The amount of times the words “cheap”, “affordable” and “good value” have been used in this video frightens me.
