cars.mclaren.com/latest In Tokyo we meet Go Hiramatsu, a lawyer who uses his McLaren P1™ for the daily commute - and also takes it into the mountain passes at the weekend.
I googled about him a bit in Japanese. I thought he is Yakuza's lawyer, but turned out he represents branch of firms across Japan to support workers' rights -- the other words, Japan having high rate of suicide for stress from work, he helps suing the bad bosses. Well, I have much more respect for him.
Ok now that I have the highest likes on my comment, I regret not using the new account I opened up to make a channel of vlogs and stuff....but yeah, thanks everyone for liking and have a great day, work hard and be nice like Mr. Hiramatsu!!
+Izrahel Namson um why would anyone do that. Plus the people that lock them ways are probably rich people that has a different super car to drive everyday. Even if they wanna lock it in their garage and admire it everyday then they can. Stfu
robert335ijb4 well people who are owners of exotic cars may not drive their cars every day or even a few days a week simply because they bought it as an investment. If you look hard enough, you can find an exotic car like the Ford GT or an SLS AMG going up in value from a really low price, but I personally don't drive my gullwing too often but it's just our point of view I guess lol
I agree this guy is an absolute hero. Our family has a few nice cars and we like to use them as much as possible not only because we've payed for them with our hard earned money but because its a great feeling when you see other people smile. If you don't drive and enjoy the cars as much as possible then there was no point in buying it. I would risk the value for the experience everyday of the week.
1) Thats one of the reasons why the electric mode is there 2) Its called courtesy and being a human 3) the Japanese have very strict laws. You try revving a supercar at odd hours in residential places and cops will be at your door step within a few minutes.
There's 2 types of people : 1. The rich people who respect,humble,kind, nice and care. 2. The rich who don't even care at all just think about they're lifestyle and others. And am happy for the rich ones who humble, nice like that and care, but sometimes they always blame cause people think they're the one who doesn't even care and just think about their lifestyle being selfish and show off.
couldn't of said it better, he treats it with respect and cherishes what he has earned and doesn't feel the need to drive it like a common pleb, unlike some of the rich boy arabs who crash their gold wrapped supercars going in a straight line
Not that he has just earned it, but he earned it by being a lawyer working for many companys across Japan, helping out the normal worker since the working norms in Japan are abysmal, hence the high work related suicide rate. So in a nutshell, you have a hard working lawyer, sueing the bad bosses in the name of your average person.
+Nell 넬 yeah but here in Canada we have these ignorant people putting stupid loud fart can exhausts on rusted out Honda civics. Super pointless, just disturbs the neighbourhood.
Happens here in the US too. Revving just to get attention, I find it pointless and it is bad for the car, esp when they try to redline the engine during revving.
exactly, I hear if a lawyer lends you a p1, and you crash it thats a felony and life in prison, and if you crashed it while stolen then its death sentence depending on how good the lawyer is
I like how McLaren acknowledges the gtr and even the camera man pans over to it on purpose, its rare to see a car advert do this, that's pretty cool I think.
lots of people use cars like these as their dailys. A man in san deigo uses is buggati veyron as his daily and many people drive 650s as dailys too. You are an idiot if you think this guy is the only person to daily a p1.
Thats what I like the most on this video, a future legend paying tribute to an absolute legend. I actually screenshot that and put it as my background eventhough its pixelated.
All unbiased mature car enthusiast would agree the R32 is a legend that destroyed many motorsport events in the late 80s and early 90s, it wasn't dubbed "Godzilla" for nothing. It was a technological marvel when it was released in 1989. Learn proper car history and go drive one in an outing before you comment like a 'hypercar bigot' man.
Fritz Asuro,Then the son is like,but daddy I wanted a veyron and a private jet. Dad says, don't worry son let me just go get the receipt, we will get a private jet, fly to Volkswagen and buy a Bugatti
I enjoyed this video particularly because this man WORKED for this beautiful car instead of having it paid for. He contrasts greatly from big youtubers who take their wealth for granted. Don't take this the wrong way, some youtubers definitely work hard but in contrast to someone who works a 9 to 5 grind especially in an intense field such as being a lawyer, there is absolutely no comparison. Props to this man and I personally hope for his future success. Don't even get me started on Dubai kids rich off of oil
Ever heard of Bryan Salamone? Divorce lawyer in the NYC area. Owns an Aventador SV Roadster currently. Always going to shows and stuff. Really interesting guy.
You got to factor in that their top lawyers work for government owned companies that get sued often cause of corruption and get paid a little more than top American and British lawyers kinda awesome actually
"The noise immediately drops off and it taxis in as a completely electric car..." That phrase, the word "taxis" really got to me. For most of us a car is a car; they drive, have four wheels, etc. But for him to describe something as mundane as parking as if he is piloting a spacecraft around a moon is an astounding thought to me. That describes to me the ceremony this car gives it's owner at any given time. Mr. Hiramatsu, I hope you read this one day because you are hero. Not because you own a P1, but because you can appreciate and describe what it means to you to have a P1 in a for all of us to relate too. My hat is off to you.
My name is Ryan Miller. I'm 39 and live alone in an apartment is Scottsdale, Arizona. I chose to go to school to be an industrial designer instead of being a lawyer, therefore my poor ass drives a 2001 Ford Focus to work every day. There's no 4K vid of that... unless Ford wants to make one... LOL!
Says who? Cost of living anywhere in in Arizona is rather affordable. I'm renting here and it's barely $200/mo. more than the shithole place I was renting in shithole Beaverton, OR back in '08 and my taxes are far less to boot. You obviously don't live in Arizona, dude.
cars in japan are very cheap, really cheap. an average guy in an average job can have one like that, but the authorities only let you have one after proving the car has a place to stay
This is how you get people excited about your brand and products. I wish Porsche made a video this good without it being so cheesy(as they normally are). Nice work Mclaren. Subscribed.
He looks like an amazing dude. The way he smiles shows how he really loves his P1. That smile, whether it's caused by a simple candy or in this case a P1, would certainly make a person feel happy inside.
Love the hyperlapses and the vibes of this video. Love the N.Winding Refn "Drive" look and feel with a kind of Chromatics music, It works perfectly. The aerial view over the nightlight bridge give you the right sense of the scale. Beautiful work, power storytelling. Kudos to McLaren Automotive!
"About 300 meters before I arrive, the neighbourhood is entirely residential and I would rather not create a disturbance, so that's when I push the electric mode button" The amount of respect Japanese people have for others makes me speechless ❤️❤️
The Japanese car enthusiasts prefer their supercars, or in this case hypercars, to be left hand drive because they think that it makes the car more exotic. They have a lot of Lamborghinis, Ferraris and other European cars in left hand drive. It's their culture...
one of the reasons i love cars is shown perfectly in this video. the car culture brings everyone from all corners of the world together. not many things can get a group of very diverse people together who can talk for hours. i don't care if you're Armenian, Turkish, Italian, Russian, Japanese, American, Arab, homeless, wealthy or whatever, if you love a McLaren P1 thats all it matters. unless you're a ferrari fan of course :) just in case this goes there i personally done discriminate. i love audi, bmw and benz i think they all have models that are good and models that suck. i also don't discriminate when it comes to lambo ferrari and mclaren but my favorite is the Pagani zonda. Dream car would be a PAGANI Huayra with a Zonda engine
Beautiful car and really genuine, nice sounding guy. So glad to see this car gets real use, not just hidden under covers in a posh garage somewhere. Respect.
love this video , it really shows how amazing that green is , the tunnel shots were just wow , the p1 is a piece of art for sure and this video proves it!!!
Mad respect for anyone who daily drives their supercars. They're built for using them and showing them to the world so that others may find enjoyment in the sight of one, not for hiding away in museums and private collections. Reassuring to see this man drives his rare car as he should.
I'm glad someone respects the supercar enough to use it. Too many supercars get stuck in a garage and forgotten. This man really appreciates and understands what a supercar is. Mad respect. Also I'm super jelly haha
Props to you man it good to see that there are people out there who buy hyper cars to enjoy them not just to profit off of them we need more people in this world like you
one thing i really love about japan is just how respectful the people generally are, it's deep rooted in their culture. I lived in north america most of time, and twice it has happened that some one bashed in my rear windows and once some one clearly purposely keyed my car out of spite. I end up having the habit of have to valet, or park right in front of the restaurant or shop i am at. When i was in japan visiting my sister, i see people parking their outrageously modded Ferrari, GT-R just right on the street. It's not even people who park there and go to lunch or work. It's just really that people who lives in apartment, maybe run out of parking spot, so they just park their super cars outside all year long. It's refreshing to see how unstressed owning a super car in Japan.
