It's actually the entryway to a place that's at the heart of creating some of the most emotion-stirring, drool-inducing, legend-making cars on planet Earth.

實際上，它是通往一個地方的入口，而這個地方正是創造地球上最激動人心、最令人流口水、最具傳奇色彩的汽車的核心所在。

I'm Adam Baddaoui, and this is All Access McLaren.

我是 Adam Baddaoui，這裡是 All Access McLaren。

McLaren, one of the monoliths of the automotive world.

邁凱輪，汽車界的巨石之一。

They're known for their fearsome racing heritage and luxurious and radical road cars.

他們以令人生畏的賽車傳統和豪華激進的公路汽車而聞名。

And today, GKee Sports is here at their far-out, very futuristic HQ, the McLaren Technology

今天，GKee Sports 來到了他們遠在天邊、極具未來感的總部--邁凱輪技術中心。

Centre.

中心。

Built in 1998 in the beautiful town of Woking, this Death Star-like brushed aluminium beauty is the home of McLaren's race team and consumer automotive division.

這座死星般的拉絲鋁製建築於 1998 年在美麗的沃金鎮建成，是邁凱輪車隊和消費者汽車部門的所在地。

The building is estimated to have cost 300 million pounds to construct, and it's here that McLaren brings together science and art to produce, by hand, some of the craziest hypercars and race cars you will ever see.

據估計，這座建築的建造成本高達 3 億英鎊，邁凱輪在這裡將科學與藝術完美結合，手工製造出你所見過的最瘋狂的超跑和賽車。

And to get a deeper look into the heart of the HQ, we have a special guest tour guide to show us around.

為了更深入地瞭解總部的核心，我們特別邀請了一位導遊帶我們參觀。

Here comes my tour guide.

我的導遊來了

Nice to meet you.

很高興見到你

Nice to meet you, too.

So we're going to start with a little tour today.

所以，我們今天先來參觀一下。

We'll start here on the boulevard, the famous boulevard, starting with Bruce McLaren, the founder of McLaren.

我們將從林蔭大道開始，從著名的林蔭大道開始，從邁凱輪的創始人布魯斯-邁凱輪開始。

First car he ever raced with at 15 years old, raced under his dad's name, and he won.

15 歲時，他用父親的名字參加了第一場賽車比賽，並贏得了冠軍。

Not a bad year for them.

對他們來說，今年還不錯。

Comparing to now, the rear tyres are a lot bigger.

與現在相比，後輪胎大了很多。

Yeah, astonishing, right?

是啊，令人吃驚，對吧？

No power steering, and then it's a manual stick shift as well.

沒有助力轉向，也是手動換擋。

No paddles.

沒有槳。

But the lack of power steering means you would have been, like, gripping for a while.

不過，由於缺乏動力轉向系統，你還得加快腳步。

You would have been gripping.

你會讓人揪心的。

You would have seen the drivers coming in with blisters and blood.

你會看到司機們帶著水泡和鮮血進來。

This may be one of the most historic, these three.

這可能是最具歷史意義的三座建築之一。

邁凱輪 F1

Sit in the middle so you can have two passengers.

坐在中間，這樣就可以有兩名乘客。

One to your left, one to your right.

We'd be remiss if we didn't take a beat and talk about Ayrton Senna and this specific car.

Watching these cars go round.

看著這些車轉來轉去

Started actually supporting McLaren just because they look cool.

開始真正支持邁凱輪，只是因為他們看起來很酷。

That to me is a Hall of Fame livery.

在我看來，這就是名人堂的塗裝。

I've asked Zach many times to go back to this.

我問過扎克很多次，讓他回到這個問題上來。

We'll give him a gentle bullying later.

我們稍後會溫柔地欺負他。

So that's the boulevard for you.

這就是為你準備的林蔭大道。

Unbelievable.

難以置信

Wait, has anyone ever asked you why your workplace is literally the Death Star?

等等，有人問過你為什麼你的工作場所簡直就是死星嗎？

It's like an evil lair.

它就像一個邪惡的巢穴。

Looks like it was built yesterday.

看起來就像昨天建成的一樣。

I know, I was going to say. It looks like a film set.

我知道，我正想說它看起來就像一個電影場景。

Actually, the McLaren Boulevard is so much like a Star Wars set, that it became one for the Disney Plus series Andor.

事實上，邁凱輪大道非常像《星球大戰》的場景，以至於它成為了迪士尼 Plus 系列《安道爾》的場景之一。

Check it out. No set dressing necessary.

快來看看吧。無需場景佈置

I remember coming in here for the first time.

我還記得第一次來這裡的情景。

I was like 12 or 13.

我當時大概十二三歲。

Wow.

哇

Quite a scary building to come into.

走進這棟樓，還真有點害怕。

It's intimidating.

讓人望而生畏。

When I was that young.

Look like they go on forever.

看起來就像它們永遠不會消失。

Like a big, sexy, automotive labyrinth to get lost in.

哦，當然。

A couple of mine.

Constructors?

構造函數？

Yeah.

是啊

This is Zach's.

這是扎克的

Mine.

我的

Are you loaning it to them?

你是要借給他們嗎？

I'll loan it.

我借給你。

What they don't know is that I've swapped it out with a replica, so I've actually got the original.

Fantastic.

太棒了

I'm really glad none of this is on tape.

我真慶幸這些都沒有錄下來。

And I've got this one.

我還有這個

Monaco.

Last year, the coolest but scariest track in the world.

On a very selfish level as a spectator, it's by far the most fun to watch.

Headrest comes off.

頭枕脫落。

Steering wheel comes off.

Then you just hop in.

然後你就跳進去。

It's surprisingly comfortable, just because everything's made for me.

它出奇地舒適，因為一切都是為我量身定做的。

The grips on the steering wheel, colours of buttons on the steering wheel.

方向盤的手柄、方向盤上按鈕的顏色。

You customise the colours of your buttons on your steering wheel?

您可以自定義方向盤上按鈕的顏色嗎？

Yep.

是的。

So one that I would want to use quite often is overtake.

是以，我想經常使用的一個功能是超車。

Overtake button.

超車按鈕。

You push that, you're going to get a bit of extra juice to get around someone.

你一用力，就會有額外的動力繞過別人。

Pretty much.

差不多吧。

It's like Senna's car with boost.

這就像塞納的賽車加了增壓。

After checking out all these beasts on the boulevard,

看完了林蔭大道上的這些野獸之後、

Lando took me into the heart of the F1 race team operation to show me where all the wild science happens.

Lando 帶我進入 F1 賽車隊的核心運作區，向我展示了所有瘋狂科學的發生地。

Now, this is all super top secret, so fair warning, there's going to be a lot of blurring.

現在，這一切都屬於超級機密，所以公平警告，會有很多模糊不清的地方。

Everything that's carbon fibre, pretty much, it all gets built in here.

幾乎所有的碳纖維材料都在這裡製造。

Simon, Adam.

西蒙，亞當

Adam, Simon.

亞當、西蒙

Nice to meet you.

很高興見到你

Thanks for showing us around.

謝謝你帶我們參觀。

No worries.

不用擔心。

Dirty mats on the floor too.

What's a dirty mat?

Oh my.

我的天啊

Sucks all the dirt off your shoes.

吸走鞋子上的所有汙垢。

So in here we make basically anything carbon fibre.

在這裡，我們基本上可以製造任何碳纖維產品。

So wishbones, suspension, front wings, rear wings.

所以有了叉骨、懸掛系統、前翼子板和後翼子板。

I kind of, in my mind, imagine robotic arms flying around and doing everything to an exact specification.

在我的腦海中，我想象著機械臂飛來飛去，按照精確的規格完成一切工作。

Yeah, so I think mass-produced cars, that would be the case because it's so specialised and the shapes are so difficult.

是的，所以我認為大規模生產的汽車會是這種情況，因為它太專業化了，形狀也太難了。

You don't really have a choice.

你別無選擇。

Every week things change.

每週都有變化。

Every day things change.

每天都在發生變化。

You can't just make something especially for one.

你不能只為一個人做一些特別的東西。

It's fair to say the work the crew are doing in there right now will go a long way to deciding how successful 2023 is going to be for McLaren.

可以說，工作人員現在所做的工作將在很大程度上決定邁凱輪 2023 年的成功與否。

I mean, there'll be a lot of modifications to it throughout the season.

我的意思是，整個賽季都會有很多修改。

But fundamentally, that is what we'll be racing.

但從根本上說，這就是我們要進行的比賽。

They do all of that in here and then it gets put into these, right?

他們在這裡做完所有這些，然後把它們放到這些裡面，對嗎？

It's like a pressure cooker, basically.

基本上就像一個快鍋，壓力鍋。

So you back everything down.

所以，你把一切都退回去。

You're kidding.

你在開玩笑。

Suck the air out, yeah.

把空氣吸出來

And we stick it in there.

然後我們把它塞進去。

Cook it under pressure and that gives you your shape.

在壓力下烹煮，這樣就能做出形狀。

So in this one you would put, what, front wings?

那麼在這輛車上，你會放什麼，前翼？

Yeah, little bits.

是的，一點點。

Little bits.

一點點

Got flaps.

有襟翼

And then we go downstairs.

然後我們下樓

We've got the mega one there.

我們有一個超大型的。

The mega one.

巨型的

Jesus f***ing Christ.

上帝啊

Are you building a space rocket?

你在建造太空火箭嗎？

You probably could in this one.

你也許可以在這一個。

But I think NASA would have some ones that are much bigger for theirs.

但我認為，美國國家航空航天局（NASA）會有一些比他們的更大的。

Out of curiosity, if for whatever reason someone watching at home would want to buy one of those, what would that set you back?

出於好奇，如果在家裡看電視的人出於某種原因想買一個這樣的東西，你會怎麼做？

A few million, I would have thought.

我想應該有幾百萬吧。

Let's pause for a second to talk about the money of F1.

讓我們暫停一下，談談 F1 的錢。

F1 is extremely expensive.

F1 極其昂貴。

For starters, teams have a budget cap of about $140 million to race two cars on the grid.

首先，車隊在賽道上駕駛兩輛賽車的預算上限約為 1.4 億美元。

Sounds like a lot, you say?

聽起來很多吧？

Well, the estimated spend of the top tier teams before the advent of budget caps was around $400 million.

那麼，在預算上限出現之前，頂級球隊的預計支出約為 4 億美元。

And even with the budget caps in place, which some say teams don't really abide by, those numbers can go much higher because certain elements, like the drivers, they don't hit that budget.

即使有預算上限（有人說車隊並沒有真正遵守），這些數字也會更高，因為某些因素，比如車手，並沒有達到預算。

All right, back to the tour.

好了，繼續參觀。

OK, so where are we heading?

好了，我們要去哪裡？

Surface and brand technology, it sounds a lot more fancy than...

表面和品牌技術，聽起來比...

Yeah, I'm used to being paint shopped, but...

是啊，我已經習慣了被噴漆，但是...

This is my favourite place in the whole building.

這是我在整棟大樓裡最喜歡的地方。

This is stuff no one's seen yet.

這是誰也沒見過的東西。

Even I haven't seen it until now.

就連我也是直到現在才看到。

Get in there.

快進去

Oh, interesting.

哦，有意思。

Interesting.
