Wind rushes through your hair as you and the elements become one. The feeling of McLaren\u2019s most powerful engine to date \u2014 812 HP \u2014 bolted to your back enhances in its intensity through the rev range, heightening senses you\u2019ve never tapped into before. Stones, rain and insects are forced over your head by the power of aerodynamics. Onlookers think you\u2019re mad. This is the McLaren Elva effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of the contemporary Holy Trinity of always-topless hypercars (sitting alongside the Ferrari Monza SP1\/2 and the Aston Martin Speedster), the Elva isn\u2019t your everyday super-fast driving machine. In fact, it\u2019s nowhere near anything you have \u2014 or Hypebeast had \u2014 experienced before. From the moment we opened the Elva\u2019s dihedral doors we knew we were in for something special; now it\u2019s time to try to explain it to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put it simply, think of the Elva as the world\u2019s fastest rollercoaster. One that you are in control of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the cramped cabin, weather-proof seats keep you snug as you become effectively a part of the car. From here, driving is akin to a uber-luxe go-kart, only this machine does 200 MPH. You can feel everything, from bumps in the road that you\u2019re skipping over to the stones hitting the eye-wateringly-expensive exposed green carbon fiber bodywork. Likewise, the apex of each corner is hit \u2014 every single time \u2014 because your point of view and reference is utterly unobscured, unlike almost any other car around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, you start to understand what the Elva is for. It\u2019s to make you, the everyday supercar driver (if you will), feel like a Formula 1 star. Each twisting road is your race track, and the Elva is your poised dart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with our short time with the Elva, every moment was a thrill. The way it\u2019s designed to feed back information to the driver is unmatched, as the entire car vibrates and communicates with the road, in turn letting you know when you\u2019re reaching its limits. A bit of slip from the rear end is fun by all means, but this is not what the Elva is for. Instead, it\u2019s about blasting around country lanes when you\u2019re not lapping the track. It\u2019s all about the senses and how it makes you feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This prototype iteration made us feel very, very special. Arguably one of the best cars to ever feature on Open Road, the car itself teaches you to be the best driver you can be. You have to treat it like a tame giant; its width and length coupled with the power and driving set-up is intimidating at first, but soon you learn how to thread the Elva like a needle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result was an experience like nothing else on the road. As a driver, you feel like you are sitting within the road and it moves around your body, g-force throwing you off-kilter. Grip is in abundance at the front end, not so much at the rear, and that balance means you\u2019re always tempting yourself to find Elva\u2019s sweet spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it turns out, this is precisely at 60 MPH around a country lane \u2014 cliff drop on one side, hard rock face on the other. Sticking to second and third gear, high in the rev range, you\u2019ve got a front-row seat to one of the best open-air experiences of your life, orchestrated by the soundtrack of a highly-pitched V8 screaming from four exhausts specially placed to create the best possible sound. Coupling this with the fact you\u2019re sitting in a multi-million-dollar rarity, and it\u2019s all rather overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the point of the Elva. A car that makes you feel like nothing else in the world. A true and pure exercise of engineering excellence, opulence, luxury, rarity, and driving elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
