NARRATOR: Supercar customizer Yianni

lives life at full throttle.

How accurate is that speed, though?

NARRATOR: He takes incredible cars--

It's gorgeous.

NARRATOR: --and works with his talented crew--

You're a G. You're a G.

NARRATOR: --to give them a unique look.

But the stakes are high--

How can we get this so wrong, man?

NARRATOR: --when you work for demanding clients--

I will be calling you 20 times a day.

NARRATOR: --who expect perfection--

Yes, yes, yes.

NARRATOR: --every time.

That is so sick.

That's why you're the king, bro.

[hip hop music]

NARRATOR: This time, Yianni gets his hands

on a rare and exclusive million-pound hypercar.

This is one of my favorite cars.

NARRATOR: But with a high price comes high stakes.

If we get this wrong, we are gonna

get ruined on social media.

NARRATOR: The success of the design hangs in the details.

If it comes out well, it will be a "Bertimize" twist.

If it doesn't, then it's a Yiannimize twist.

NARRATOR: And the pressure is on for Yianni

to deliver on this ultra-expensive car.

It's hard to get this straight.

We've turned this hypercar into a hyper hypercar.

[hip hop music]

NARRATOR: Today's arrival is a super rare and expensive

roadgoing hypercar.

It's so valuable that it's rarely driven on the road.

So the owner has arranged for it to be dropped off.

YIANNI: Richard, how are you doing?

You well?

I'm good, thanks, and you?

I'm really well, thanks.

Is she in there? - Are you ready?

Let me see her.

Let me see her.

My favorite car.

[hip hop music]

Wow.

Wow.

What a car.

My staff are gonna absolutely lose their mind.

NARRATOR: It's the Porsche 918 Spyder.

It's the first time the team have ever seen one.

TEAM MEMBER 1: Oh my gosh.

Ooh, lovely.

NARRATOR: A million pounds' worth of German hypercar.

That's the best car.

TEAM MEMBER 2: So nice.

NARRATOR: The multimillionaire owner

stays out of the public eye.

So he sent along his supercar-loving 15-year-old

son with this unique car.

Dan, what's happening, mate? You well?

- Yeah, good, thanks, you? - You good?

- Yep. - I'm really well.

She's here.

She's arrived safely.

Yep.

Porsche 918 Spyder.

This is lovely.

First one I've ever had here.

Really?

So, yeah, so I'm really, really pleased.

My guys are over the moon with this.

Yeah, it's insane.

I mean, obviously, Dad's got some other cars,

but for me, it's my favorite.

Give me a couple of his cars that he's got,

a couple of his toys.

He's got an Enzo at the minute, Ferrari Enzo.

He's got a Aventador S Roadster, a Huracan Performante,

360 Challenge Stradale.

He's got some toys.

What's your favorite?

Obviously, the obvious one's between the Enzo and 918.

But for me, 918.

Do you know what?

The Enzo is a classic.

It's a fantastic car.

But I like new.

I like new technology.

I mean, same here.

I mean, I wasn't old enough when the Enzo was out,

so I can't say anything. - You're a baby.

What are you, like, 15? - 15, yeah.

You're 15 years old, and you get to be around all

these cars on a daily basis.

It's mad.

YIANNI: You're a lucky young man.

So talk to me. What are we gonna do?

So we're thinking, like, stripes, so, you know,

like the old original Porsche liveries.

When you say the livery and the brand, what color?

Say lime green, match the calipers.

YIANNI: Calipers are lovely, aren't they?

DANIEL: Yeah.

OK, me and Bert will come up with some sort of idea for this.

OK, lovely.

Well, listen, leave it with me, and we'll make it happen.

- OK, cool. - Brilliant.

Take care, yeah? - Look forward to seeing you.

I'll see you soon.

See you soon.

Be good.

NARRATOR: A limited run of only 918 of these hypercars

were built in 2014, and only in left-hand drive.

This model features a lightweight carbon pack, saving

a vital 35 kilos of weight.

It combines the brand's motor racing technology

with everyday drivability.

[energetic music]

Yianni rounds up the team as they're itching to get

to work on this special car.

How nice.

So nice.

Such a nice car.

We're talking too quietly.

This is amazing, bro.

This is just--

I'm taking it in.

This is one of my favorite cars.

I've been waiting to work on one of these for so long.

Much appreciated.

Thank you, Yian.

So, Nicco, Mark, and Amelia--

[laughs]-- I'll come back to you, Mike, in a minute.

The customer loves this color.

And he's not having a full wrap.

He wants to add some decals, some Porsche sort of livery

over the vehicle from front to back.

And he wants it to go green like the calipers.

Do you think that works, guys?

Blue and green should never be seen.

MIKE: It's gonna work.

It's a hypercar, man.

It's gonna work.

He's given me some sort of idea of what he wants.

Now, Bert's not usually involved in this sort of thing,

but we've drafted him in because it is livery, it is a design,

and Bert is gonna come up with some sort of idea.

So go and get your coloring-- your crayons now.

Crayons, felt tips.

[laughter]

YIANNI: So, Bert, I'm gonna leave it with you.

Mike, you've got to do nothing to this car.

What do you mean?

You got to let me take satin off of this car.

YIANNI: There's nothing to strip off the car.

Anything, something-- a badge, a wing.

To be fair, actually, I want the roof off.

Oh, I'm down for that.

YIANNI: At least it will look good.

Yeah.

YIANNI: You can take two carbon bits off.

I'm happy. YIANNI: Are you happy?

Yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it.

You know if we get this wrong, we are gonna

get ruined on social media.

- Yeah. - All right, we got it?

BURT: All right, cool. - Cool.

Thank you.

MIKE: You sure I can't take nothing else off?

[hip hop music]

NARRATOR: Desperate to get his hands on more of the car,

Mike takes over the wash, while Bert is upstairs,

working on a design that incorporates Daniel's desire

for classic race-style livery.

So I found a few designs online, and what I want to do

is move it on a little bit and come up with a bit

of a Yiannimize twist to it.

It's going to turn heads.

I'm not sure if people are gonna like it,

but I guess livery is like marmite anyway,

isn't it, on a car?

NARRATOR: Instead of a full wrap,

livery means applying vinyl accents in a contrasting color

to different panels of the car.

Right, so I've come up with a design which I think

works really well because it keeps the lines of the car.

It follows certain lines that are already there.

If it comes out well, it will be a "Bertimize" twist.

If it doesn't, then it's a Yiannimize twist.

[computer chime]

NARRATOR: Every piece of this million-pound hypercar

is highly valuable.

MIKE: Check the pen out.

Carbon fiber pen.

NARRATOR: Bert's design doesn't feature the carbon roof panels,

so Yianni wants them removed and safely out of the way.

So just looking through the manual of the 918 Spyder,

once you've removed the actual roof panels,

it just shows you how to store them correctly

in the luggage compartment.

[hip hop music]

So I have to be very careful putting these

in because as strong as carbon is, it does have lacquer on it,

and it can scratch.

The last part of the 918 Spyder is this little carbon wind

deflector.

[snap]

NARRATOR: Having produced a livery design,

Bert comes down to show Mark and Nicco.

MARK: Oh, you've got the design.

Design is ready to rock and roll.

What do you think is the best way of doing this freehand?

Or should I get the shapes cut on the plotter?

- I'd say freehand. - Yeah?

Yeah.

Me too.

Freehand is gonna be better, especially the front bumper--

Because of the curves of the car and stuff like that.

Yeah, yeah.

The only problem we've got is the door to the recorder.

Yeah.

- But-- - But I'm sure we can manage.

We always do.

We'll do.

Yeah, that's the only hard bit on the car, yeah?

MARK: Yeah. - Yeah?

MARK: Yeah, definitely.

But it has to be precise, because, obviously,

the way I've designed it is to run into the correct recesses

and so on.

So all we've got to do is get it done

and get it out of here because we haven't got long.

[both agree] - Perfect.

All right.

I'm gonna leave that there.

But I'm gonna be around anyway.

So we'll go for it together.

Let's get started. - Yeah.

Cool.

Get this one clean.

[hip hop music]

NARRATOR: Because of the bold curves on this car,

applying the racing-inspired livery

will really test the brothers' skills.

It's so hard to make this one straight.

Not too happy.

NARRATOR: Upstairs, Yianni is admiring this rare and expensive

hypercar via the CCTV.

My favorite car is a Porsche 918.

If we're talking favorite Porsches, GT2 RS, surely.

The thing with Porsche, they all have always looked very similar

throughout, but the 918 is completely different,

which I get.

It's a hypercar.

But you wouldn't drive a 918 every day, surely.

YIANNI: Listen, I've got-- - To be fair, you would.

I've got friends that have got them,

and you can drive them a lot more than another hypercar

like a LaFerrari.

You're talking about using a car every day,

GT2 RS, or a GT3 RS.

I'll take either.

I'm not fussy.

NARRATOR: Downstairs, Mark and Nicco are trying

to pull off Bert's design.

They decided to apply the livery freehand, which means they have

to painstakingly lay down guide tape

to form the right shape before they can lay the material.

It's quickly becoming a much bigger challenge

than the brothers expected.

No.

It's wonky.

NARRATOR: The orange tape is too pliable

and not allowing them to lay a usable line.

It's hard to get this straight.

Yeah.

[hip hop music]

Just looking at it from this angle,

there's bits that are just kinking up slightly.

Cool. All right.

See you in a bit.

MARK: I hate doing things again.

NARRATOR: Mark and Nicco's initial attempt to lay

a steady guideline has failed.

So they resort to good old-fashioned masking tape.

Better?

Yeah.

NARRATOR: Finally happy with the line they can work with,

they next lay cutting tape in the exact shape they need.

Once they lay the vinyl, the tape

will slice through, leaving the desired shape behind.

The wrap is entering a crucial phase.

Yianni is keeping a very close eye.

YIANNI: Ooh!

That's it.

Are you happy with it?

MARK: This was really hard.

YIANNI: Cutting tape?

MARK: Cutting tape, yeah, freehand cutting tape.

YIANNI: Freehand? No cut on the car?

None.

YIANNI: OK.

Yeah, so far, so good, mate.

NARRATOR: The brothers now move onto the side of the car.

With its complex panels and deep recesses,

this will be their biggest challenge.

But their struggle with the rear of the car

has knocked their confidence.

So I've just gone out to see Nicco and Mark.

I've tried to give them confidence.

Mark and Nicco are confidence people.

I don't want to actually put them under any more pressure.

Right now I'm really nervous.

NARRATOR: Applying a livery wrap is not easy.

And the brothers' decision to lay the design freehand

has made it even tougher.

It's a time-consuming process, and they

have to get it right on this super rare million-pound motor.

[energetic music]

This hybrid combines the power from the petrol engine

and two electric motors.

Together they produce an impressive 887 horsepower,

meaning this hypercar can sprint to 62 miles

per hour in just 2.8 seconds.

I'll do it like this.

NARRATOR: Having laid cutting tape over their guideline,

Mark and Nicco have now applied the vinyl

and are ready to reveal the final shape.

Bert is back to see how this key element of his design turns out.

Have I timed this to perfection?

Are you about to pull it off.

OK?

Yeah, apparently, yes.

Lovely. Come on.

Let's do it. - You ready?

Yeah, I'm ready.

I'm not.

Why, are you nervous?

A little bit, yeah.

NARRATOR: With a gentle pull on the cutting tape,

Mark unveils his work.

[suspenseful music]

[tape tearing]

What do you think of it?

Um, yeah.

You happy?

I think so.

It's just I want it to be perfect.

But, yeah, I'll be happier once you've finished it.

- Nice. - All right?

- Thanks, mate. - Cheers, mate.

Thanks, man. - Thank you.

[hip hop music]

NARRATOR: With another thumbs-up,

the wrap wizards keep up the momentum

and complete the livery on the side of the hypercar.

Before long, Yianni is back to check on their work.

[RAPPING] Hold on, drop it

The color is perfect with the caliper.

MARK: Mm-hmm.

It was really hard.

It took time to do it.

It looks good, Mark.

It looks really good, to be fair.

MARK: Thanks a lot, Yian.

I was nervous when you said--

Why?

You're good at your job.

You know your job.

I'm actually really pleased.

To be honest, I wasn't too sure.

But the more I'm looking at it, I think it looks great.

I think Dan's gonna love this. - Yeah.

I like that you've cut it short there as well

so you didn't finish it on.

Was that your idea or Bert's? - Bert.

- Bert. - Bert.

Your idea.

Don't tell Bert.

If anyone asks, yeah, say it's your idea.

That's my idea.

That's your idea.

[laughter]

I'm really pleased. Hold on.

Thanks, Yian.

I'm really pleased that you're happy with the job.

YIANNI: I'm always happy with your work, Mark.

Well done, bro. Smashed it, mate.

- Thanks, Yian. - Great job, bro.

Well done, mate. Well done.

Proud.

[hip hop music]

NARRATOR: Yianni's feedback boosts

the brothers' confidence as they go into the final straight.

While Mark finishes up the other side,

Nicco is making sure the front stripe is as bold and precise

as the rest of the design.

The one-off livery wrap is almost done.

Just a few details to finish.

Mark and Nicco have brought Bert's design to life,

and the results are stunning.

We've turned this hypercar into a hyper hypercar.

[laughs]

[hip hop music]

NARRATOR: Excited to see what Yianni

has done with his dad's car, Daniel

arrives for the big reveal.

YIANNI: You good? DANIEL: Yeah, I'm good, thanks.

You? - I'm well, mate.

What's happening?

Not much, you?

I've just been looking forward to seeing the car.

Obviously, I've not seen any pictures of it or anything,

so I can't wait to see it.

It's behind that shutter.

Yeah?

Have you had any conversations with your dad about it?

So I've told him what sort of wrap that I was thinking of.

And I've told him what I've told you-- color,

stripes, everything like that.

And he's looking forward to it as well, so.

Are you ready to see it?

DANIEL: I can't wait.

You're not nervous?

- Slightly. - All right.

You ready? - I'm ready, yeah.

OK, wait there.

[suspenseful music]

[excited laugh]

[pounding]

[hip hop music]

[RAPPING] Everybody wants to live my life

But they can't, I'm the one and only

Wow.

[RAPPING] I've been around the world

That's incredible.

[RAPPING] Everybody wants to live my life

It's exactly like I thought, you know,

like I said, with the race livery on the side.

It's incredible.

Definitely matches the calipers, that's for sure.

Perfect match.

Perfect, yeah.

What did you think of the lines?

I love it.

YIANNI: So from the bonnet all the way

running down the side to the back.

Yeah, it certainly works.

You've got it bang-on there.

What do you think your dad's gonna say?

[deep breath]

Honestly.

Let's be honest.

We're young.

Well, you're young and I'm a little bit older.

Yeah. I think he'll love it.

I mean, normally he wouldn't go for, like, really bright things.

But this is sort of a bit more subtle, you know, like--

Because I know your dad, I've tried to keep it a little bit

classy, still give it a nice effect

but not be totally in your face.

Exactly, yeah. It looks so good.

At the end of the day, it is a hypercar.

So the blue is a fantastic color,

but it's nice to obviously have a bit more on it.

Yeah, exactly, yeah.

Like I say, hypercar, it's got to look exotic.

It's got to stand out and everything, so.

Yeah? DANIEL: Yeah.

Happy? DANIEL: I'm really happy, yeah.

So how are you getting home?

Well, I mean, my dad's not here,

so maybe you could take me?

I'm actually glad you said that.

I'm more than happy to take-- I've got the key.

Yeah, brilliant.

So let's go.

Oh, Porsche 918.

And the roof down as well.

I don't mind that.

[hip hop music]

Mate, this car is special.

I'm just smiling.

I can't wait till I can drive it, to be honest.

Yeah?

Do you think you'll still have it?

Um, I hope so.

Sounds great as well, doesn't it?

Yeah.

Try switching into electric mode.

See what you think of that.

It's electric now. - It's just gone.

Yeah.

It's like the car turned off.

It's ridiculous.

YIANNI: Wait, that's really weird.

Have you driven, like, an electric car

before, like Tesla or anything?

Yeah, I've driven electric cars before.

I've never owned one.

But you've got the power there, look, but just no noise.

Yeah.

It's good.

Mate, I love this.

I'm actually really happy I get to drive you home.

Just let me know then.

Anytime you want to go to school and you need a lift--

- Yeah, yeah, I'll let you know. - --call me, mate.

Obviously we'll take this.

Yeah, yeah.

That's it.

Tell your dad I'll do the school runs.

Yeah.

Happy legs.

[engine revs]

[theme music] Go

Whoa

Go

High or low

I never know how you're gonna be

It's a crazy world, I know

But you're my destiny

And we're not gonna jump off

So around we go

Around we go

'Cause we know what we're made of

So around we go

Around we go
