Now that I think about it, McLaren has got a very well filled up range: -MP12-C -MP12-C Spyder -650S -675LT -675LT Spyder -P1 -P1 GTR -540C -570S -570GT. And it's only a 6 years old car manufacturer.
I agree with you on that one. It's difficult but I still think I would choose a used 650S over a new Sports Series model. I am still unsure about the styling of the Sports Series, especially the 570S. I do think the 570GT sorts that out a bit more though.
JeppeMP ISKOLD SHABAB I prefer the Coupe. It looks allot better imo and I personally see the cockpit of a car as a privet space and don't want people looking in.
This might be the best review you've done, Shmee! Love it. I felt like I was in on the ride, and you've never done that before to that extent. Very good!
I personally think this is (if we do not count colour configuration of this car) the second best looking McLaren with the 570S in the first place. But if I had the choice between the two I'd go for the 570GT because of the extra luggage space and the softer ride. I prefer a sporty ride, but I'm pretty sure that even the 570GT is sporty enough to be interesting :)
Now that I'm a bit more in the video I realise that the colour configuration of this 570GT is most likely (in my opinion of course) the most ugly configuration.
Missed this review when it came out last year. super review...well done Tim. I really like the leather package in this 570 GT. It makes the car that much more special. (Mike in Ohio)
I've been following your videos for a while now and in this video I see the true beginnings of a very able auto journalist. Well done Shmee. Keep up the good work!
Tim this was a great video in terms of your knowledge about the car and how you articulated it. Also cameras were in good positions so we could see what was going on. And my usual annoyance of bad audio wasn't an issue here so very enjoy full video. Although it would have made the video even better had you had a mic on. But bravo.
I must say, I find this the most beautiful McLaren yet! What an exquisite looking car, both on the exterior as well as interior side of it. I'm not a hardcore racer kinda guy, I prefer smoothness and comfort in a ride better. But the fact that you can go at it the with 570GT when preferred is just excellent. Hope to see more of this car Tim :)
Excellent Tim, car is absolutely sublime and it was really good to see you having a proper hoon in it, you didn't look like you were enjoying it in the slightest!😂😂😂 - A true 'Everyman' sports car!
Tim does the car not come with a reversing camera as stock? If so that is crazy ahaha how else would you park it with that visability at the rear. Does it have reversing beeps though?
I liked this one as the car came in the exact interior color I would choose. But next time put the forward looking camera behind the passenger seat. First 10 min. of the drive ruined buy rear view mirror in the way of seeing down the road!
Considering he Currently has a 675LT and taking delivery of a spyder version next month aswell I don't think he will order one. He already has a daily and really who needs three mclarens at once. Mr JWW should swap his r8 for one of these tho.
I don't think so, I believe it is important to him that the car holds its value, which would not be the case with the 570GT. For example, he bought the LT and GT4 new because he anticipated them not to lose much value. But he bought the FF used to avoid losing too much money. He mentioned this in one video I believe.
If you're still on Tenerife, drive to the westside of the Island to Masca. The road is amazing with hairpin after hairpin all the way. You wont regret it :-D
I am in love with the McLaren sport series. if and when I get at least 300000 US dollars I will definitely buy one. I noticed very recently, even after watching many many McLaren videos that there are only a break pedal and an acceleration pedal. don't you also need a clutch pedal for manual shifting?
I actually prefer this over some of McLaren's larger models. There's something sweet about a 'small' (relatively speaking) McLaren sports car, especially one that's focused more on long journeys.
Shmee150 My friends dad just got a 570S, he accidentally left the bonnet slightly open and as it has no catch it flew up when he was driving, smashed the windscreen and caused 32K's worth of damage McLaren said. He refused to pay it, design fault IMO.
He said he accidentally pressed the release button in the car and didn't realise apparently. It should not then fly up even when that happens. Side doors always have a catch so even if the door is not fully shut it won't open. The bonnet is arguably more dangerous than that as you can't see then! Imagine that flying up at speed! Design fault.
+Kristian Turner-Radford No amount of design can stop the air getting in under the bonnet and lifting it up. It is his own fault for not paying attention.
+Kristian Turner-Radford A bonnet catch which is strong enough to hold the enormous pressure in which the air would cause would have to be pretty big. This means it would destroy the looks and more importantly the practicality (the boot opening would be reduced and the actual boot volume would also be decreased).
15 new models over the next 6 years? Holy crap, I thought they had already gone over the top with the MP4 coupe, 12c Spyder, 540S, 570S, 625S, 650S, 650S Spyder, 675LT, 675LT Spyder, P1, P1GTR. I guess we'll see a GT, S, Coupe, Spyder and perhaps GT-S for every 20bhp variant.
hey Shmee! I know that you are young English gentleman and you think that shirts are the best clothing for men (same here :) ) But in Spain there is no way that during the day between May and Sptember you can feel comfrtable in long sleeve shirt. So, we are not gonna be mad - feel free and wear tshirts :)
I like the GT more than the S.. Looks better and cleaner with the new hatch in my opinion.
The only thing I would do is maybe ask for a darker tint from MSO or ask for electrochromic glass
Id prefer the 570s =/
+James Lovett Everyone has different tastes =)
+Sean Carter haha
I agree
Now that I think about it, McLaren has got a very well filled up range:
-MP12-C
-MP12-C Spyder
-650S
-675LT
-675LT Spyder
-P1
-P1 GTR
-540C
-570S
-570GT.
And it's only a 6 years old car manufacturer.
Road legal Mclaren f1 came out in 1992.
+joep 1234 yeah but beside work with the slr they basically did nothing road car wise until 2011
Mercedes mclaren came out in 07
slr04
Quit trolling...
The 570GT definitely looks better than the 570S.
I agree with you! xD
yeah!
Yep, I love this car whilst I'd never even consider the S.
I agree with you on that one. It's difficult but I still think I would choose a used 650S over a new Sports Series model. I am still unsure about the styling of the Sports Series, especially the 570S. I do think the 570GT sorts that out a bit more though.
They look the same to me. What part of the car looks different compared to the 570s?
I don't see why people would get the other one. This car has all the fun, comfort, and cargo space. You can take it for any task and be fine.
675LT for the track and mountain roads. 570GT for everything else.
675LT Spider for Mountain roads
JeppeMP ISKOLD SHABAB I prefer the Coupe. It looks allot better imo and I personally see the cockpit of a car as a privet space and don't want people looking in.
This might be the best review you've done, Shmee! Love it. I felt like I was in on the ride, and you've never done that before to that extent. Very good!
that MSO 675 LT SPIDER LOOKS STUNNING
*Anyone dumb enough to say this car is ugly has NOT seen it in the flesh. It makes the 650 look like Shreks wife.*
I haven't seen any McLaren in the flesh apart from a P1, but the 570 certainly isn't up there with the 675LT at all.
Again; you need to see them side by side in real life. Pictures truly don't do the car justice.
It looks much better than the 650s,the 650s looks like a 12c with the p1s front end glued on it......
😂😂😂
I personally think this is (if we do not count colour configuration of this car) the second best looking McLaren with the 570S in the first place.

The gt has a sport pack you can get that gives it the suspension and powertrain of a 570s so it's even sportier
What a gorgeous interior! I love that tan color all around!
Just saw a 570GT today, in this exact color and spec. The video doesn't do it justice... It's MAD when you see it in real life!
Schmee is feeling the altitude...Catch your breath buddy. Great review !!!!!
Shmee*
That volcano, and driving down that road in the 570GT,,, a dream
Was anyone else looking for Sam in the Intro to the video?
Missed this review when it came out last year. super review...well done Tim. I really like the leather package in this 570 GT. It makes the car that much more special. (Mike in Ohio)
You're growing very quick as a video maker, taking your driving skills to new levels. Love the videos and keep driving hard Shmee!!
I've been following your videos for a while now and in this video I see the true beginnings of a very able auto journalist. Well done Shmee. Keep up the good work!
Tim this was a great video in terms of your knowledge about the car and how you articulated it. Also cameras were in good positions so we could see what was going on. And my usual annoyance of bad audio wasn't an issue here so very enjoy full video. Although it would have made the video even better had you had a mic on. But bravo.
Compare to Seb D. here you see Tim know about the car everything! Great job Tim!
Great review Shmee and what an amazing car!
Best looking of all the beautiful McLarens imo.
Can't wait to see one of these IRL! My aunt will get to borrow one soon so fingers crossed!
Beautiful cars beautiful scenery
nice to see you going at it hard Tim
Ha! Having lunch in exotic places and doing reviews of super exotic cars. Living the dream man.
shmee do you prefer this car or the db11 ?
I must say, I find this the most beautiful McLaren yet! What an exquisite looking car, both on the exterior as well as interior side of it. I'm not a hardcore racer kinda guy, I prefer smoothness and comfort in a ride better. But the fact that you can go at it the with 570GT when preferred is just excellent. Hope to see more of this car Tim :)
What's with the forced ads nowadays? Can't you change them back to skippable ones?
I do not determine what kind of ads are presented.
+Shmee150 Oh okay, I wondered why some channels have forced and some skippable. Very annoying as I'm willing to watch if the product interests me.
I didn't have an ad, it's random
+Shmee150 what is your favourite super car or hypercar
leo phillips as he loves McLaren it's probably the p1. If we're talking modern.
THANKS, TIM AND CREW
Awesome car, great review Tim.
Shmee is pretty close to 1 million subs.... I can see him reaching it quite soon..
very nice car, maybe even better looking than the s version
@Shmee150 hope you enjoy the time on my island and the weather.
Excellent Tim, car is absolutely sublime and it was really good to see you having a proper hoon in it, you didn't look like you were enjoying it in the slightest!😂😂😂 - A true 'Everyman' sports car!
Lovely car Tim...really cool could be one of the best
It's funny seeing your intro that Sam did a 'behind the scenes' with!
totaly in love with that car and your lt, it wil be a perfect match
those wheels on the the LT are amazing!
Thankx a lot Shmee!! Your videos are Great!
I've gotta test drive the 570GT. I don't think it's better than my MP4-12C but it seems to be a nice cross-country daily beater.
the interior design reminds me of my Daytona. literally.
Tim does the car not come with a reversing camera as stock? If so that is crazy ahaha how else would you park it with that visability at the rear. Does it have reversing beeps though?
Honestly tought that he orderd one cause of the tone and how postive he was speaking about it in the last 5 minutes.
Holy moly, I live there, beautiful place for sure!
How long are u staying here Shmee?
Just bought one, it’s awesome 😊
Do those switches that open the front and back lids disengage when you're driving? I hope so.
Beautiful car! It looks so much better than the 570S. Especially really like the small spoiler at the back!
I liked this one as the car came in the exact interior color I would choose. But next time put the forward looking camera behind the passenger seat. First 10 min. of the drive ruined buy rear view mirror in the way of seeing down the road!
id have to say the 570gt looks varry like the bmw i8 but it is varry good looking and varry nice, but love the review Tim cant wait for more.
The spec on the white one is amazing
Very enjoyable video Shmee. Wish i could afford one of those GT's.
So Shmee, are you getting one?
God damn, I hope he didn't...
Considering he Currently has a 675LT and taking delivery of a spyder version next month aswell I don't think he will order one. He already has a daily and really who needs three mclarens at once. Mr JWW should swap his r8 for one of these tho.

+AgentYpsilon yes you are right
99% sure Shmee can never affod a brand new Agera. The price is huge and the running costs are probably even more.
Shmee, I'm sorry but white in these mclarens, looks way better than blue.
Rear design and interiors don't seem to convince me..for the rest it seems perfect to me,I would definetely consider getting it if I could
Tim, are you going to make a video about all the options on your 675LT before you take delivery of it? It would be nice as a teaser
Personally would have always taken a 650s over any of the 540's but this has changed my mind completely!!
Tim thanks for video. What is the astronomy lab behaind you? Please...
Another great video shmee150
did you have the sports exhaust on this car ? mr JWW said no but i wasn't sure
I hope when you become an old codger you'll be entertaining us on Top Gear UK with your history for these machines 20 years from now!
Tim,would you choose the 570GT or the 570S?
Just noticed the dash above the instrument cluster reminds me of the millennium falcon from the outside
I wonder if 650GT(same car but with 650S spec engine) is on McLaren's future car plans. That spec would absolutely rock I think.
If you could pick any car ever built and any road from around the world what would they be??
Awesome Mclaren!
If you're still on Tenerife, drive to the westside of the Island to Masca. The road is amazing with hairpin after hairpin all the way. You wont regret it :-D
I am in love with the McLaren sport series. if and when I get at least 300000 US dollars I will definitely buy one.

I actually prefer this over some of McLaren's larger models. There's something sweet about a 'small' (relatively speaking) McLaren sports car, especially one that's focused more on long journeys.
Was this a standard or did it have the sports exhaust added?
0:28 Spot Seen Through Glass filming!
Shmee do you recommend of buying 570GT With panoramic roof in Dubai or not??????
Looks like McLaren has really hit its' stride. Great car, they can do no wrong as of late.
Shmee150 My friends dad just got a 570S, he accidentally left the bonnet slightly open and as it has no catch it flew up when he was driving, smashed the windscreen and caused 32K's worth of damage McLaren said. He refused to pay it, design fault IMO.
It isn't a design fault if he didn't push it down properly. Porsche's have the same design so...
He said he accidentally pressed the release button in the car and didn't realise apparently. It should not then fly up even when that happens. Side doors always have a catch so even if the door is not fully shut it won't open. The bonnet is arguably more dangerous than that as you can't see then! Imagine that flying up at speed! Design fault.
+Kristian Turner-Radford No amount of design can stop the air getting in under the bonnet and lifting it up. It is his own fault for not paying attention.
That is what a bonnet catch is for! What are you talking about? Tim even mentions in the video that the car does not have one.
+Kristian Turner-Radford A bonnet catch which is strong enough to hold the enormous pressure in which the air would cause would have to be pretty big. This means it would destroy the looks and more importantly the practicality (the boot opening would be reduced and the actual boot volume would also be decreased).
15 new models over the next 6 years? Holy crap, I thought they had already gone over the top with the MP4 coupe, 12c Spyder, 540S, 570S, 625S, 650S, 650S Spyder, 675LT, 675LT Spyder, P1, P1GTR. I guess we'll see a GT, S, Coupe, Spyder and perhaps GT-S for every 20bhp variant.
Does the screen on the center console always blip on bumpy roads?
if its too hot, can you push a button and make the glass roof tint dark so no light gets in?
Does that on have the Bowers and Wilkens sound system?
This is the perfect model of what a everyday supercar should be like
The spider looks dope
Those Car's are beautiful.
Love the GT.
Does seem like a perfect daily supercar.
Hey, is it proper to compare this car to a Lamborghini? A Huracan or even a Aventador? Which is a better car in general? (Not just speed)
Henry Lee the 570S and 580-2 Huracan are pretty comparable. (rwd, about the same hp, drivers car)
Do you think that they will have one of these at McLaren Manchester and btw my friend is in holiday there
Wasn't MCL on your 650S before 87 TB?
nice man, love it
Absolutely gorgeous car
wow i cant believe they have the aventador beat with the soft close doors!
when are you going to get your 675LT spider?
What mic do you use TIM ?
new favorite word....spectacular
570gts? posible new model in the future? thanks for the review
Hopefully a 650gt
Lovely interior
hey shmee what´s happening with your current 675? are you trading it in for the spyder-version? :)
well if i had the opportunity i would do the same... one for bad weather and one when the sun´s shining :P
Good driving man
won't be ordering the glass roof, thax tim
A masterpiece of car...
awesome video!
hey Shmee! I know that you are young English gentleman and you think that shirts are the best clothing for men (same here :) ) But in Spain there is no way that during the day between May and Sptember you can feel comfrtable in long sleeve shirt.
So, we are not gonna be mad - feel free and wear tshirts :)
Now that would be a cool trip… 😂
