00:00Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another Chris and Cars YouTube video.
00:03We took a spontaneous trip to Atlanta, Georgia,
00:04and we are at perhaps one of the craziest hypercar dealerships we've ever been to.
00:09Welcome to Merit Partners.
00:34Behind these doors are some very, very special cars.
00:38Immediately upon entry, you are greeted by a Carrera GT, a 918 Spyder,
00:45one of four or five 997 GT3 RS 4.0s, which they only made 600 of.
00:51But my favorite car here, I'm going to take you behind the 918.
00:54The best car of the Holy Trinity in a proper Chris and Cars spec in race mode, the McLaren P1.
01:01Every time we see two of the Holy Trinity, we never get all three in the same room.
01:06Never. There's no LaFerrari here, unfortunately.
01:09At least we got two.
01:10Moving along here, we have a new Heritage Edition 4GT, but I want to take a moment.
01:15Folks, the interior designer of this building needs a Nobel Peace Prize
01:20because it's absolutely gorgeous here.
01:21It's what the CNC headquarters needs to look like in the future, once we become profitable.
01:26Moving on.
01:27Everything here comes in pairs, folks.
01:29And this is not the only new Ford GT that we're going to see today,
01:32but it is the only street legal one.
01:34More on that in a few.
01:35This, biggest couch I've ever seen in my entire life.
01:38And can you just imagine just popping a squat, relaxing in your living room, boom, Ferrari at 40.
01:46That's the dream.
01:46And the couch is very comfortable.
01:48Oh, yeah.
01:49And if you look off to your left here, you're greeted by yet another Porsche 918 Spyder.
01:54And that's not even all the 918 Spiders at this dealership.
01:57Onward.
01:58Exiting the lounge portion into the main garage.
02:01You immediately see, I don't even know where to start.
02:03If we could maybe just do a general, like, overview here.
02:06So, on my left side, we have a lot of Porsches.
02:09We have 991 3RSs.
02:10We have GT4 RSs.
02:12We have yet another 4.0.
02:14This particular one with 99 miles on it.
02:17And right behind it, two more non-4.0 997 GT3 RSs.
02:22Moving back up here to my right, the Ferrari corner.
02:25A couple of heavy hitters.
02:27The 599 GTO.
02:28Right next to it.
02:29A gorgeous spec on this F12 TDF.
02:32Silver, black stripe, red interior.
02:35And then two almost matching specs on these 458 Spiders.
02:39I have to look over my shoulder to see what I'm looking at.
02:41Christian car spec, Ferrari 430 Scud.
02:44F8 Tributo.
02:45360 Challenge Trinale.
02:46And the most regular traffic car here is a Ferrari Portofino.
02:51While Merit Partners specializes in Porsche and Ferrari,
02:53it doesn't mean they don't have other supercars.
02:55Such as this McLaren 765 LT Spider.
02:57Right behind it, a showroom condition.
03:00Looks brand new.
03:01Still has the wrapping on the seats and the steering wheel.
03:04This SLS AMG, which is a timeless piece.
03:07But we're going to bounce back to some Ferraris here.
03:09The iconic 458 Speciale.
03:11The Coupes are going for like 700.
03:13The Apparatus are going for over a million.
03:16What's going on?
03:17993.
03:17This is an interesting one.
03:19What's the color?
03:19It might, at a quick glance, look like GT Silver.
03:22But this is seal gray, which is a bit deeper and super, super cool.
03:27This right here is one of the most interesting 911R specs I've ever seen.
03:31It's black with a green stripe, yellow calipers, and houndstooth inserts.
03:36I personally wouldn't spec my 911R like that, but to each his own.
03:39And I can't afford one anyway, so it doesn't matter.
03:41I told you there was going to be a lot of doubles, triples, quadruples, and I'm not disappointing here.
03:45We're on our third 918 Spyder.
03:47This one might look familiar if you watched our Monterey Car Week Starbucks spotting.
03:52Finished in gray-black with a martini-like livery.
03:55It has the acid accents, the calipers, the decal.
03:59I mean, gorgeous spec.
04:00But the Special Porsches are going to continue because right behind here,
04:04we have three almost identical, under 1,000 mile, 997 GT3 RS 4.0s.
04:11Like I said earlier, they only made 600 of them for the entire universe.
04:16The entire universe.
04:16I don't know if other Galaxies have 4.0s, but as far as we know, there's only 600.
04:21We've seen five of them here, and four of them are in black.
04:23How do you even source these?
04:25Speaking of difficult cars to source, right here.
04:28The love child of Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, the SLR McLaren.
04:31But this particular one has MSO wheels, a full custom MSO blue interior,
04:37with kind of like a houndstooth finish on the seat inserts.
04:40I've never seen a spec like this on an SLR, and I'm in love.
04:44Before we go into that room and show you what is perhaps the coolest car at this entire dealership,
04:48I would like to pay respect to every car being covered in the exact same car cover.
04:53It looks absolutely unreal, and the attention to detail is just crazy.
04:57I will give $10 million to everybody, you can't work at Merit Partners,
05:02but to anybody who can name every single car under this car cover.
05:05I can't name every single car under this car cover, so I'm not going to be able to fact check.
05:10Therefore, I'm probably not going to be able to issue payment.
05:12Please, please, this is not a contractual agreement.
05:14Anyway, this right here, folks.
05:16I don't know much about it, but it's really special, and you can't drive it on the street.
05:20Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, this room is sick.
05:23Second of all, this bad boy right here is the Ford GT Mark II race car.
05:29The finish on this paint, the gargantuan nature of the spoiler and all the aerodynamics.
05:34I mean, the regular street-legal Ford GT is crazy.
05:37This takes it to a whole other level.
05:39It's absurd.
05:40We're going to do a whole short-form video on it, so stay tuned for that.
05:43At some point, the Chris and Cars team, which is comprised of myself and Jack,
05:48are going to get a headquarters, and this is definitely going to be the inspiration for it.
05:51I mean, just look at the glass windows from your conference room.
05:53You have a little lounge up there, gorgeous chandelier,
05:56and obviously, hundreds of supercars and hypercars.
06:00This is the inspiration.
06:02We will look back on this video in years to come when we have our own headquarters,
06:06and my inspirational rant is over.
06:08Anyway, back to the cars.
06:09This is the first OG heritage edition Ford GT of the day,
06:13but again, pairs, folks, pairs.
06:16We're talking twins.
06:17We're talking triplets.
06:19Sometimes we're talking quadruplets.
06:21Quintuplets.
06:22There's quintuplet 4.0s.
06:24This is absurd, but we're going to get,
06:25we're going to squeeze through a couple of Ferraris here,
06:27and a couple of steps away,
06:29we're going to find our next OG Ford GT heritage edition.
06:32I would also like to make note that there are a few Porsche GT4 RSs here,
06:36and every one is in its own individual amazing spec,
06:39such as this pastel orange to start.
06:42Oh, it has blue seat inserts,
06:44which actually complements well with the orange paint.
06:46Gold wheels, yellow calipers.
06:48The whole thing actually works.
06:49It's a bit bold.
06:51Like, I would personally do black on black, but moving onward.
06:54Before we get to the next GT4,
06:56we have a 992 GT3 Touring,
06:58a GT2 RS.
07:00All of the GT2 RSs are in silver for some reason.
07:02The 911 ST right here.
07:03But here's our second fantastic GT4 RS spec.
07:06It looks like it might be my eyes in blue.
07:08Thank you, Jack.
07:08Interior has yellow deviated stitching,
07:10yellow seat belts,
07:11black wheels, yellow calipers.
07:13Another awesome spec.
07:14But there's two more.
07:15Two more, folks.
07:16There's like one and a half more.
07:17I lied.
07:18There's not four.
07:18There's three and a half.
07:19In passing to get to the next one,
07:21we have a 992 GT3 RS,
07:22a 991 GT3 Touring,
07:24512 TR,
07:25and right here,
07:26what I think is perhaps the coolest of the 4S specs,
07:29this gray-black carbon fiber hood,
07:33red wheels,
07:33red mirror caps.
07:35This one right here most certainly took inspiration
07:37from the 997 GT3 RS.
07:39We said half because this isn't a GT4 RS,
07:42but it's kind of the same thing,
07:43more or less,
07:44just with a convertible.
07:45Arctic gray paint,
07:46gold wheels,
07:47red calipers.
07:48The windows are like 5% tinted,
07:50so I can't really see inside,
07:51but it looks like it's red and black.
07:54In summary,
07:55there were two Carrera GTs,
07:56three 918 Spiders,
07:58five 997 and 4.0s,
08:01two old Ford GTs,
08:02two new Ford GTs,
08:04and pretty much every Porsche you could imagine.
08:06Merritt Partners might be the craziest car dealership
08:09we've ever been to on the channel,
08:11and if you think your dealership can top it,
08:13let us know in the comments below,
08:14and maybe we'll come by.
08:15Before we go, folks,
08:16exclusive access inside of the Ford GT Mark II,
08:20and we're gonna give you guys a little start-up.
08:22Oh my God.
08:23Look how low I am.
08:24I was like,
08:25oh my God.
08:26I would feel confident in this car
08:28to do just about anything.
08:29Let's throw in the harness.
08:31Little three-point action.
08:32I'm not driving it.
08:33I don't know why I'm putting the harness on.
08:34I will be pressing this gold engine start button,
08:37but first,
08:38Jack's gonna go back with the microphone,
08:39so you can have it.
08:40Let's go.
08:46That is sub-loud.
08:473.5 liter,
08:49with turbo V6.
08:50My expectations were high,
08:52And get in the carbohydrates.
08:55What?
08:56What?
08:56What?
08:56Bye.
08:57Bye.
