THE TRUTH! Secrets of Tavarish's FLOODED $2,000,000 McLaren P1

Let's get the full story from ‪@tavarish‬ about the work to rebuild his flood damaged, wrecked McLaren P1! Why this engine? Is it still a P1? What problems has he faced? It's time for the low-down right ahead of SEMA in Las Vegas, where he's presenting the car to the world!
Freddy bought the McLaren hypercar earlier this year, taking on a HUGE project in the process with a massive dive (pun intended) into the unknown with what would lie ahead. Having been damaged in a hurricane that hit Florida, the car gained extraordinary fame when it was seen floating around and ultimately settled on top of a toilet outside, having been totally under water in the process.
Fast forward, and it's gone from finding all sorts of dirt and water in every possible place, to something that's starting to resemble a plan and come back together under the idea of being a "P1 EVO". Featuring bodywork inspired by the P1 GTR, and the new 4.0l TT V8 engine found in the 720S - therefore no longer a hybrid - it's a big change throughout and a lot for us to find out.
There's no question this is the most epic of stories, and it's a huge thanks to Freddy for allowing me to ask some questions to un earth more about the car and his intentions with it. Naturally, the video is published a little nearer to SEMA as the car will now be arriving in Las Vegas, and meanwhile we have driven my Dark Horse across the country!
If you aren't already following this epic build, then you've probably been living under a rock! However, do check out ‪@tavarish‬ for plenty more:

Freddie one of the most likable car RU-vidrs out there. He is honest and very transparent about his cars and therefore a breeze of fresh air amongst the many car RU-vidrs that pretend they are something they’re not.

Absolutely. You kinda feel like you actually know him :) Also love the interaction/collaboration with other great you-tubers like Smee and Matt Armstrong.

It would be so easy for Freddie to get on the McLaren bashing bandwagon, yet he lives and breathes them fixing and renovating them to the highest standard..one of my fave RU-vidrs.

@lynnysumner4588 9 месяцев назад

There are quite a few oddities around the P1 with regard to the chassis production v. VIN tag numbers. There are two P1s with the VIN ending in 33 - basically an error in the tooling of the data plate - they've identical spec, and were bought by the same customer; one is road-licenced, the other is only used on track. I actually saw them both together at Brands Hatch. There were 4 carbon tubs that were destroyed in-house after an ultrasound inspection revealed many stress cracks that happened post-installation, not during manufacturing. After the dismantling of the major parts, an engineer came up with the idea to re-purpose the bespoke carbon fiber tub pieces as momentos, such as luggage tags, desk nameplates, etc

@@KalepsisI think you missed my point. If all you wanted was an extra long-range fuel tank, you don't make it removable. An empty tank weighs almost nothing. You just build it in and use it when you want to. There's no need for silly plug-in/plug-out solutions which are notorious failure points and completely unnecessary if the tank adds negligible weight penalty. Apart from that, I think your idea is pretty good.
