"It's a new thing." 

When it came down to his most basic description, that's what Chris Harris kept going back to. "It's a new thing." It's not a surprise considering how revolutionary the McLaren P1 is. A twin-turbo hybrid with more than 900 horsepower? With essentially no turbo lag? With a 0-125 time of SIX POINT EIGHT SECONDS? Are you kidding me? If you're as much in love with this car as we are, then you're surely going to enjoy this 29-minute video of nothing but pure informative performance with Harris. 

He spends the first 10 minutes in the garage talking about the XP7 tester prototype in an insane amount of detail. Everything from "turbo fill" to the cars underpinnings to its relationship to the 12C. At about 11 minutes he take the car for a spin out for a daily drive on Abu Dabi streets, and if you're really only interested in the track test, which is absolutely bananas, scoot ahead to the 19-minute mark. 

Is it wrong if I told you I had goosebumps at some points during this video? You should already know how I feel about this car ...
