For those who like supercars and also like to peek behind the curtains of millionaires from time to time, we have an interesting video courtesy of Manny Khoshbin’s YouTube channel where we get to see one of our favorite cars up close and personal.

There are various cool cars in the video, but a famous McLaren takes center stage in this particular video, where we learn a little more about the prestigious hypercar and why it’s possibly the successor to another much-loved and important hypercar from the 90s.

We go on a short journey and see what it’s like to have enough money to spend time in vehicles such as these.

Manny Khoshbin’s Supercar Collection Is Worth A Lot Of Money

Inside the garage, we immediately get up close to the McLaren Speedtail, a car which is easily recognizable thanks to its long and sleek rear, and Manny decides to take it out for a spin because he can.

Before the car can leave, Manny has some work to do, moving other million-dollar assets like a Bugatti Veyron out of the way so the Speedtail can let loose on the road.

Inside, the McLaren looks great with a tan-leather interior over white and the three-seater hypercar looks and sounds awesome. Manny gives us a brief explanation on why he thinks the McLaren Speedtail is the real successor to the other famous McLaren: the McLaren F1 from the 90s, the original fastest car in the world.

Real Estate investor Manny says that the McLaren Speedtail is the successor to the McLaren F1 because it is a three-seater and has the superior top speed, along with a V12 engine, traits that other cars don’t encompass in a single model.

The Speedtail from McLaren uses a 4-liter twin turbo V8 to produce 1,036 hp with an integrated hybrid system. The McLaren F1 from 1992 could claim over 620 hp from its 6.1-liter BMW V12 and hit around 240 mph, making it at least as quick on paper as the Speedtail, although the latter can reach 250 mph.

We learn that Manny is in the process of ordering an Aston Martin Valkyrie and is trying to get his hands on a Mercedes-Benz AMG One, but it will have to come into the US as a racecar, as it doesn’t yet have approval on the roads like a normal car.
