The World’s Best Cars Get Their Own Feature-Length Documentary

There’s not set definition of “hypercar,” but it’s one of those things that when you see it—or hear it, or feel your bones rattle as it goes by—you know it. Sold in tiny quantities for prices that regularly top $1 million, these vehicles are the preserve of the über-wealthy. Most people will never see one in the flesh (well, carbon fiber), let alone get behind the wheel. But they’re important, because not only are they really freaking cool, they represent the work of some of the world’s best and most creative engineers and artists.

And now there’s a feature length documentary all about them. APEX: The Story of the Hypercar will make its world premiere at the Jalopnik Film Festival in New York on November 6. The movie, from the creators of /DRIVE and directed by J.F. Musial, promises to tell “the untold story about the minds of men versus the laws of nature.” As in, nature says, “No one can make a car that delivers one horsepower for every kilogram it weighs.” And Christian Koenigsegg replies, “Shut up nature, you just lost your chance to ride shotgun in the One:1.”

Based on the trailer (above), we know the One:1, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 all show up. So does the Pagani Huayra, along with its maker, Horacio Pagani, who says, “the automobile allows you to embrace and satisfy a series of infinite desires.” APEX also happens to be the first documentary shot entirely in 4K, the new ultra high resolution standard that’ll make these rides look extra awesome. Sounds good to us.
