It's ridiculous though because what could possibly be an issue with wearing eye protection from the sun, but it's true he doesn't like wearing sunglasses. To me it seems he made it up in his own mind that sunglasses aren't necessary and they are just a nuisance but we all know that's not true, so I would definitely call it anxiety or some other mental issue that makes him believe sunglasses are a stupid idea or invention. I know it's crazy right. Sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun and they are also very stylish.

The thing about manual transmissions is that they are slow. Do you like being slow? Coz i don't. I like being fast and if a dual clutch or a modern auto is faster then that's what i'm ordering.

@@M3PH11 It's not about being _fast,_ it's about being _connected._ You will NEVER have the same visceral driving experience with a car that doesn't have a manual trans. As others have said, you get going on a twisty, technical mountain road where you are making upshifts and downshifts and feeling every release of the clutch give you another growl from the engine, and it makes even the fastest tap shift or auto feel boring. I've been fortunate enough to drive a lot of very high end cars, and I would absolutely own something like a 720S or a 488 Pista, but a lower HP manual trans car is just plain and simple more _fun._

I can see a group of Elva engineers pulling straws just to see who has to go deal with Jay. And because he was finishing full thoughts instead of letting Jay talk all over him, Jay really took some liberties at McLarens expense during this test drive. "Plaid is faster.. Senna is a terrible car.. F1 is too expensive these days."

Easy to tell that the Great J-L wants THIS car!!! Jay: You can't go another day without one!!! Also, imaging the value of this, once every supercar becomes electrified. Won't matter how fast they are, they could never have the soul of this magnificent machine. This being said, Jay will also need the upcoming Tesla Roadster as well. With Jay, one can "live" their dream, as sharing the joy with him is close enough, to actually owning any of his fleet. How boring could life be, without Jay's you-tube channel? (Rhetorical of course) Of course, Jay is a gentleman of the highest level, which makes the experience all the more special. God Bless you Jay!!!

Impressive engineering for sure. I can’t help but think back to the old fashioned bug deflectors on pickups and road tractors, they kept the windscreen clear of bugs very effectively.

When the video began, I really didn’t like the way the car looked, but after the explanation of how carefully the car was designed to deflect the wind for the occupants I really think the car is cool. It’s sort of a Corvette on steroids designed as a car driven on a sunny day to satisfy the urge for that occasional adrenaline rush.

@@Stardumz I don’t get the same feeling from this as from the Monza. I like this more. I think they are different types of cars even though they both have no windshield, (which Ferrari was also not the first to do). In fact the Mercedes/ MCLAREN Stirling Moss came out 8 or 9 years before Ferrari’s version the Monza.

@@scottimusgarrett15 there have been tons of cars made like this with no windshield. Srdjan probably just isn’t old enough to remember any of the ones before the Monza. He probably had a Murci or Aventador poster on his wall growing up and I had a Countach. 🤷♂️ Personally as far as the Monza and this car, I think the McLaren looks like it was built to be driven and the Monza was built to be looked at but I’m basing that purely on how they both look to me.

Gorgeous car, with really interesting tech. I'm with CG Tacticonus, I'll probably never see in in person let alone be able to afford one, but I do enjoy learning about it. I don't really understand why some designers want to get rid of windscreens, though. I think this car would look just as good with a low, wrap-around windscreen (think Speed Racer's Mach 5)---- which would be very expensive to manufacture with no optical distortion, and still be very exotic as well as practical. And as long as I'm day-dreaming, why not eliminate the instrument pod and put in a fighter-inspired HUD (those things obviously have to be legible in bright sunlight!) to give as unobscured view ahead as possible?

any car that looks like it drove out of the old speed racer cartoon has to be super cool i only wish they would make one anyone could afford/. like jay said swift is plenty and they could do that with a four cylinder i have a 72 spitfire, its not fast at all but its really fun to drive on curvy back roads at 40 mph
