For a crazy and extreme spec on a hypercar, look no further than this McLaren Sabre! With a flip paint colour scheme and plenty of unique details, it's a wild thing which ever way you look at it. And then comes the experience getting behind the wheel...
There are only 15 McLaren Sabres in total, all within the USA as the car was built to United States homologation standards as a commission by the customers with MSO. The sales process for customers offered a fixed price regardless of specification leading to some extremely personalised options as a result, with this car probably topping them all.
The body is a split between the Colourstream paintwork and exposed carbon fibre, finished with pinstripes in a slightly different flip shade to give a unique effect. The exposed carbon itself is then furthered by containing inscriptions in opposite directions to the weave as well as the bright green calipers contrasting the paint. On the inside, the main body colour is brought in as a tint to the lacquer on areas such as the steering wheel, along with the seat pinstripes, gas struts and more finished to match.
Mechanically it's powered by an 835hp 4.0l twin turbo V8 with 800Nm torque, and boasts being the fastest 2 seater McLaren ever due to slightly more slipper aerodynamics than the Senna despite a slightly heavier weight. While the US homologation requirement allows design elements like a sharper leading edge to the front splitter, the car is lacking electric mirrors and has an exceptionally awkward key required for opening and closing the trickle charger port.
Starting from the garages that also contain the Koenigsegg Regera, Bugatti Chiron and Ferrari 812 Superfast we're heading on a short drive to the second garage with a Pagani Huayra Roadster BC, Ferrari LaFerrari and Pagani Imola. Being spoiled to now drive my second Sabre of the 15 cars, it confirms my impression that it's very much what the Senna 'should have been' as a slightly more sanitised road car while still very much at the extreme end of the spectrum.
Thanks to the owner for the opportunity to film with this car, and to my friend Mike @shinmikeyin for the introduction.
Thanks for watching, Tim

When it comes to wild specifications of hypercars, this McLaren Sabre is right up there! It's one of only 15 in the world and sure does stand out. How would you spec your Sabre? Would you go for this type of flip paint?
shmee how much is the mclaren sabre i would love if you buy it for me now or sooner
yes
@Josiah Rylan Damn! It took about 20 minutes but it actually worked!
Not sure if anyone gives a damn but I just hacked my gfs Instagram password using Instapwn. Just google for it if you wanna try it
damn who owns these cars?
Senatized??!
The garage WITH SUPERCAR LMAO
Im less than 2 min in as I type this.. Already amazed at the cars.. can't believe its going to be crazier
Yeee
shmee i would love to go to your house
shmee if you love super cars try playing c s r 2
i like the new color scheme of the mclaren sabre
Creeepy talking about Lamborghini at 7:50 ish and then a URUS pops up at 7:56 hahahah
The mclaren saaaabre from Dundee mifflin
Love McLaren
Hi guyzz am shmee
12:06 puppi spotted
Love them door struts😍😍😍😍
It's like Mclaren tried to incorporate an Apollo IE into this design and it ended up being an attrocious mess of a car, stylistically. For me anyhow, I'm sure some like it. After all, there's a lid for every trash can.
The interior is nowhere near the exterior.
If you try to use your brain to remove the outer colourful panels wrapping around the car, it kinda looks like a short speedtail.
Is it me or does it look weirdly slow for the revving he was doing? Obviously he wasn't pushing it at all but just didn't seem right.
When ur Shmee and have driven 2/15 of American Sabres
Does anyone else know this colour as Standox Kyalami Flash?
Batman would say "this is too much"
"The green Sabre"
Tim...you look better in that Sabre...much more your sort of car!!😎😎😎😎😎
11:57 that one phone in the background
Shmee, I love you man and mclaren is my fav brand. But honestly, I just don’t get what u see in this car visually. I can’t help but think, it doesn’t look good whatsoever. It’s literally a senntail It’s such a let down. There is way to much going on. What are your thoughts?
brake calibers look out of place - black would have been a better choice
a tool to close the tender charge port? really?
10:34 cuando te gana un Mazda jajaja
Mario bros
Let's just say the Sabre is what the Senna should be like at the first place. It looks waaaaaaay better than the Senna. Don't try to tell me that the Senna look is for functional reasons. There is always a way to have both at the same time.
Damn mclaren build some ugly cars
I thought I had heard there were 16 Sabres. I could have sworn that's what they said on triple F's video
Idk I’m not into it, I think it’s the dumbest looking thing I’ve ever seen...
It looks so menacing! I feel like it’s a mix between a senna and a speedtail. Is so sick 🤣
Who’s got that in Arcadia!?
2:34 it's.. an allen key.. quite a specific tool indeed hahaha
Shmee Squad
*Shmee's glasses and this cars colour match perfectly*
Dailyable 🤣🤣🤣 I’m sure these guys are in different planets
From my point of view this car is hideous.
US GOV want to ban all loud exhausts and aftermarket parts yet they get a louder Senna then EU
i love it
The more I see of this car the more I love it! To me it always looked like a cool manta ray on wheels. That paint color just fits the car. WOW! Also seriously cool because many people will never see even 1 of these cars in person and Shmee has driven 2 out of the 15 made world wide! Shmee just has it like that :) Impressive and props to the owners who actually use these cars. Most impressive and that is seriously a DREAM garage.
I just want to straighten his glasses
so that special tool is just an allen key...
Is this car Just for the US Market?
Green sabre
You own a car, you need to drive it, hypercar , supercar, or not. The Imola, especially
Definitely one of my favorite cars. Can’t stop looking at this thing! Every time I see this video, it makes me click.
6:40 what an actually gorgeous view
This car looks really evil
Saber when you ran out of names
Wouldn't be seen dead driving that POS
Supercar! super this, super that! still a car that gulps gas! cant even drive it nicely! not worth it!
Incredible hipercar , congrats !! but is not my favorite color for this hipercar . And breaks green ¿?¿?¿? 😱 style same reggaetón singer lol
Wow that’s one crazy, special allen key!
I hate myself for saying this, and I commend the owner for the originality, but I think this looks ugly.
There had better be a way to turn off that garbage feature which cuts the engine at a full stop. I'd hand it right back to McLaren and tell them, "no thanks." Especially with the rest of the rides in the owner's garage...they wouldn't be missing out by ditching the McLaren.
Yeah, I am not digging the color at all..
btw those with a keen eye will recognize that hood ("bonnet" in Shmee speak) is totally the forthcoming MERC/AMG PROJECT ONE. cant say who had it first but i DO recall that styling famously used back on the mid 2000's Mercedes SLR McLaren which technically wore BOTH names, but this was when Mercedes also owned a stake in the company.
green calipers gotta go, not sure what happened there, but the McLaren nod to the Midnight Purple III (R34 GTR) is EPIC...!!! its an unexpected mashup of JDM and European Hypercar, and it works.
THAT CAR IS FUGLY
Not going to lie, it would look way better if the body color was the same throughout
So basically the special tool is a screwdriver you can get at menards
The sabre looks like a Senna had a child with a Speedtail
This is probably the ugliest car I have ever seen...
Senna reskin?
Looks like a GTA car. Haha
4 mm sPeCiFiC allen key
One of the ugliest cars ever made.
One mad car but ugly as crap. Yuk.
lol my forza garage literally
Looks absolutely stunning in photos!
Is it me ? it's just not attractive.
Design🤢🤮
When Shmee starts talking you just can't make pause to the video until he says "cheeeeeers"
Allen key to open/close charging cap is the stupiddest thing ever..
I am sad to see the precious pieces of automotive legacy sitting in the dust. Not hating or anything against the owner but i didn't expect to a layer of dust over them.
Anyone spot the Lamborghini Usus in the background.
Good taste & money definetively do not go hand in hand! 🤮
the color reminds me of the R34's Midnight Purple....
OMG that Mc Sabre has a beautiful paint job. I'm guessing $100K just for the paint job. Am I close? BTW what a sweet car collection.
wait isn't that salomondrin's old house
10:32 all that and a Mazda still beats u. lol
sometimes i have no idea how to pay debt . Meanwhile other people have this collection. So.... there is a way....
2,000,000 dollars and no power mirrors
Beautiful city of Arcadia :) probably could only drive on those streets. Rest of la horrible pot holes 😤
The car looks absolutely bonkers! I didn't even know this car existed!
Shmee used a screwdriver for the first time in his life 😂
This guy has quite an impressive collection that really deserves a much better garage situation fitting of the level of cars he has.
mclaren made a new car?
Oh no, it's The Office's Sabre Mclaren version, it's gonna catch fire!
The proportions just don’t look right
i love how the special tool is just an alan key
Anyone seen Salomadrin since the pandemic hit?? This garage just brought him to mind
Shmee could be driving F1 by now. His knowledge and ability to drive all these radically different cars is insane.
Sick!!!
WOW!
Wow that color is magnificent
This an incredible car, in an even more incredible spec. Thanks
