This is a car that reaches the parts no other can. A symphony of engineering purity, weight-saving purges and mechanical artistry. It will almost certainly never be bettered
Actually, it’s not my favorite sounding V12. While it is unique and commendable for its high-pitched, high-revving sound characteristic, it lacks the “bass” of some other V12’s: Ferrari F50, Murcielago LP640 and Pagani Zonda 7.3. I feel like those cars do lose a bit of “F1-style high pitch sound” compared to the T.50, but still retain most of it while having tons of “bass” to match the high notes.
Still, impressive and important benchmark for car enthusiasts & instant classic. Does the original McLaren F1 due justice in my opinion, especially with the cost + regulations to develop a car nowadays, he really did the impossible.
Might consider trading my 1.9tdi Golf for one of these, lets see what the next year brings.
