#BringBacktheGlasses Awesome review as always though!
Getting prepared to have exhaust pipes for it?
I genuinely love the fact that your company is so very active on RUclips. I just love love love all of your products, even though my car isn't something you would put an Armytrix system on. Do you have a Twitter page? Thanks.
Maybe you all could consider some systems for some more..'Pedestrian" cars?
This car is a challenge in that it already has such an awesome sports exhaust option. I just test drove a 570s and it was sizzling. But, I can't wait to hear what you do, if you do it.
I think I may have asked before, but can you plz make a Chevy SS exhaust?! It's so hard to find an exhaust for that car that doesn't sound like a raspy fart.
Put this guy on top gear.. My god, every review of him is just a joy to watch
Keep up the great work!
Too many ppl on the new top gear as it is....6 now i think...what they need to do is just get this guy and chris harris.
👍
It's too bad Top Gear has strayed so far from doing traditional road test reviews and focus more on theatrics and goofy stunts
+anewacc get a load of the f12 review!!!
I agree, he could have been the person who replaces James May, somewhat.
it's better than the porsche. ...it looks better , sounds better , drives better (maybe not as fast ),has better interior as well......it's just more substantial than a 911 turbo s..
And, this is a McLaren
And if you want speed, get the 570s. It is also RWD, which is more fun.
agree
aditya jethi You 've never ridden a Porsche have you?
the best looking mclaren in my opinion
No way. The 600 lt is and by far.
@@camirocz bruh he commended 3 years ago
Mp4 12c
I like the 12c the most
@@camirocz 600 LT is basically a 570s with a body kit. So yes it looks great.
You loook wierd with no glasses
American Psycho wierd?
Looks like he has marbles in his eyes.
Rockin the eye liner ?
I think its better without glasses, he looks less nerdy
I didn't even really notice the back end visual differences until you mentioned it... It DOES look a bit better than the 570s...
agreed, I wonder what they will do with the spider gt
Does this not have a drop top?
Where's your 👓's
Look at the time, came from night shift, look like Ive got time for grammar or sleep?
+John Wick when is your new film coming out??
+John Wick thx m8.
Much... want.... Not... enough... money....
rob a bank ?
marry rich
This is the kind of car that makes you think about it haha

Love his presenting style - pretty much my favorite online car show because of him & the production quality.
Very good!!!! This and Chris Harris on cars
Personally, I think this is the best looking super car currently available.
I'm more of a Porsche guy, but i'll rather take this 570GT. I love the idea of having a powerfull car with comfort, like Maserati or Bentley.
That is such a beautiful car. That'd be the one I'd want.
Nobody has mentioned the gargantuan side sill you've gotta climb over in any of the modern McLarens. Yes they've made it easier in this model but you're never gonna look graceful hopping in and out. I love these guys reviews and I think they do a brilliant job but I'm noticing a trend (across the car review board not just here) and I wish people would be less in awe of the cars they're testing and actually pick them apart, they're not marketing tools, they're critics. Shoulda listed the negatives mentioned. They're important if you're looking to buy a car over 100k. Too many critics worried about not getting invited back? :P Old Ferrari Cali for example, horrendously sluggish while moving slowly, crap gearbox, crap satnav/info system etc etc etc. New ones are better apparently but you don't here any real moans like does the hand brake still hold on too long when you come to a stop?! Every day driving these things are important. It almost doesn't matter how good 95% of these cars are on a track because 95% of people won't go to one.
They're called AFC sills
Valid comment, but it seems to be the way of things everywhere - even when journos have the best intentions. Problem is that when you write about the types of things you mention, you end up with WhatCar or AutoMotor& Sport, where cars win group tests because they have the lowest loading lip and the best windscreen washers. Also, you need to live with a car to really know it, and new car events are usually a few hours in some exotic location where everything's on a tight schedule. I agree with you, though.
I know man, I don't wanna watch a review of boot space either but when a car is being advertised as an almost every day, GT more user friendly sports car then things like "can the average person get in and out of it easily without clambering around" become more important :P I've never seen an i8 review were the person reviewing it actually gets in or out. Clarkson certainly didn't on TG. The cars f'in terrible to jump in n out of for anyone that's remotely larger or slightly less mobile. I can jump in and out of it but there's no way I would be happy with it if it was a daily car. If it's not a daily car then why bother goin hybrid?! Ya nah mean?! haha it's these little things as a car enthusiast and as someone who spends way to much time looking into what car to buy next & what to aim for in the future and what can used used daily & what can be used daily but shouldn't be :P. My dads been looking to change his F Type and I've been helping him look around and there's so many cons to some of the cars around and over the 100K that it makes it really really really hard to make a choice. Especially when you've had a car that sounds as good and runs as smoothly and reliably and looks as good as the F Type, why spend that extra money is the main question?! Anyways I'm rambling man, I really enjoy these videos but sometimes there's things that people who are buyin them need to know and I think the biggest draw back for usability of any McLaren at the moment are the "AFC Sills" as our friend rightly educated me on. The Ferrari's, Porsche's, Jag's of this world don't suffer from that problem. Seems to just be all the cars made with carbon tubs, you gotta fall into them like bath and get step ladder to get out :D
Funny you mention the i8. My Dad was mad for one, but, as you say, he could barely get into it and then couldn't get out once he was in. My brother is 6'3" and he could hardly manage it either. Both of them ended up coming out of the car with their hands on the road and with their feet flailing around on the dash like a pair of spastics. It was a fine comedy moment, tbh.
haha same, me and the salesman both had to help lift my dad out. One of the most redinkydonk cars to get in n out of, or park anywhere or basically try and use like a normal... or even a sports car :P
570GT and an Armytrix exhaust = My perfect car
Why the fuck would you daily a McLaren? Secondly, why not have the bootlid open upwards like in the Cayman, but instead make it open sideways depending on the side people drive at the country it's going to be delivered at? What if i park it the other way around, or close to a wall or whatever and cant reach the stuff inside?
If you live in a big city (eg. London or New York) and don't need to commute in a car because you use public transport to get to work and also haven't got room for a fleet of cars so only want a single car then a semi-exotic daily like this or a 911 makes perfect sense.
Totally agree. My idea (Sao Paulo, Brazil) is a normal hatch/sedan and a nice sport/gt car, with some "supercar presence". This 570GT is really growing on me.
Awesome car ^^
Wish I could one day afford something like this.. Oh and awesome video as well. One of my favorite RUclips car review personalities =)
This car makes quite much sense when you think of average owner. The car that I am really waiting is 911 Safari edition.(more suspension travel and rally styling for 911)
570 definitely over the 911 Turbo/Turbo S. I do love the 911 but it doesn't come with the same drama such as the doors of the 570. The 570 looks like a supercar whereas the 911 blends in like any other Porsche on the road. That's not a bad thing though. Also, the McLaren badge is far more exclusive.
Did you buy one or bottle it and go for the 911?
you know what
the styling is growing on me
i still think its not a pretty car
it does look admirable, poised even and striking
I saw both the 570 & 650 in person, along with Huracan, and the 570 is noticeably more ugly than the other two. When I spend this kind of money, I would expect a car that's at least decent looking.
Shin Ken i wouldn't get the 650, because of anything people who has the 675 LT will make you feel jealous
But if i had money i would go for either the R8 v10+ or the AMG GTS
I do prefer the understated and subtle sleeper look
The only problem i have with this one is its not great looking despite being subtle
Buuut like i said the looks are definitely growing on me
I think it looks good except the tail.
I disagree, I've seen all of them in person as well and I think the 570 is gorgeous, and one of the best-looking cars on sale today.
You're objectively wrong about it looking better than the S. The flying buttresses are mega. :p
***** It's called a joke.
***** Silly Babayka.
It would be awesome for McLaren to make a car to compete in the track toy category.
He just finished saying it a bit tamer and doesn't provide that urgent ground swell of acceleration a Turbo S does, then at the very end he days it ludicrously fast. I'm a bit confused, looks like I'm going to hang on to my '02 Turbo X50 a bit longer :-)
most will just opt for the 570S more thrill, more sound, more rawness, barely any one daily drives a super car anywise.
I would choose this.
But this version looks much more stunning.
+john m cant see the difference
Spend 70k on a 1 owner Maserati GranTurismo with under 10k miles if you want a great looking, amazing sounding daily....this is a waste... 570s is sick, this is dumb.
The GT is like 3% slower than the S, lol... effectively its the same car with a broader market to sell more units. And, lots of supercar owners do actually drive them almost every day especially now that they are so easy to drive. Where I live and work, the local supercars are always doing the rounds.
I absolutely love listening to that guys reviews. I'll just call him a proper journalist if that makes any sense.
Why did you guys change your branding from XCar to Cafection?
why then?
i never found out why, and tbh, 'Carfection' sounds really dumb compared to xcar. So please tell us why
Hey what car is that in the intro?
TheGBANerd The sound? Audi R8 V8
Tanner Pat Yup, thanks.
They've mentioned before that it was copyright. X-Plane Flight Simulator probably sued or something of the like.
mmmhm..... mclaren's MX5/GT86 competitor...... now that sounds exciting.....Imagine if they had a go at that...
Not sure why guys care about a man wearing glasses or not i sense some may have some unresolved sexuality issues lol. I come here for the car reviews not to judge a mans appearance, Also at 1:41 those are definitely carbon/ceramic rotors you can even see the carbon weave where the rotor hat meets the rotor, the steel brakes also have a different rotor hat, carbon ceramics are an option on the 570GT and this has them fitted! This can be confirmed by the Mclaren 570gt configurator on their website.
I guess some guys prefer to pound ass when their man is wearing glasses, nothing wrong with that
Another nice video. Nice car, too. I want to love it, and I love how it looks, but I don't think McLarens are my bag. They seem, to me, to be cars for RUclips and dotcom millionaires who want to go quickly whilst keeping a hand free to blog and take selfies. With its tech-first mantra, McLaren risks having nowhere to go to address the enthusiast revival at Aston, Porsche and others. Not that it matters, and the Chinese don't give a crap, so it's not like they'll struggle to shift cars. Just seems a shame to leave behind the F1's analogue, driver-first legacy.
That paint on the McLaren has to be the most beautiful paint I've ever seen.
When you ask should you get this or a 911 Turbo S, for me it comes down to looks. This has more of the futuristic, exotic, super car look like the other Italian cars, whereas the 911 has more of a classic refined look. Where I'm from you can see a 911 any day, but a McLaren would really turn heads.
The host looks like Richard Hammond's cooler brother 😉
I think they targeted a well optioned 911 Turbo (and R8 V10) and not the Turbo S (and R8 V10 Plus). That's what the 570S is for.
This car cost almost as much as the new Aston Martin DB11, which is a far more attractive GT sports car! With a V-12 engine!
570GT or 650S.... which one is more comfortable given the latter has the hydraulic suspension
I would take the Porsche
As much as I would like the 570 to be a little softer for longer drives, there's no way I'd want to daily it, it's simply not easy enough to get in and out of and im not 65, I'd go with the 911 turbo if I wanted a daily supercar.
Not to mention the plummeting residuals, dreadful reliability, shockingly poor build quality. And to rub salt in the wounds there are rumours Mclaren dealers are reluctant to buy them back from owners for resale. Beggars belief. However, if I had more money than sense I'd have one in a heart beat. 😊
@@richbiles230872 I still owned 2, 570s was relatively trouble free 720s not so much, both were fantastic over 6 track days however
Does anyone know if this is the 570GT showcar used in the Geneva car show? If so, is the color Ice Silver, or is it an MSO special order color?
I feel every review of such a car is the same. Unnecessary models if you ask me, they are just trying to get a bigger piece of the pie.
Not entirely sure of what makes this car a grand tourer... More storage space and 2% better nvh? For a daily usable supercar I'd want awd too... Maybe it's a bit unnecessary but I'm sure it has its niche and makes sense financially
Do you think a McLaren 720 GT is possible now ?
Judging from the brake shot at 1:41, it sure looks like this car has carbon brakes - though the commentary from Alex suggests otherwise. Mistake maybe?
Love the look way better than the S, hopefully they redesign the S to look the same and just give customers the choice of the S, C, or GT across the same body style.
I like the turbo s but i love the 570gt.
Man. from the background audio it's so quiet like you are driving an EV
Alex, Henry Catchpole and Chris Harris and Top Gear will be saved. You're welcome.
Honestly. You can tell the age of most commenters here. This is the kind of thing other kids used to say to me in school if there was even a TINY difference in my appearance/glasses/new shoes/whatever.
GET A LIFE LOSERS.
Tbh I'm still in favour of teasing them about their 'new' (ish) name thou :P
This seems like a solid competitor for 911 Turbo S; Except that it's slower, less comfy, more expensive, and has less real world usability...I think I'll go with the R8 v10 Plus or the 911 Turbo S.
Even if it's slightly lower performing than a 570S, it's not like most supercar owners pushes the limit of their supercar unless they're reckless. Replace the P Zeros on the GT with super sticky Trofeo or Corsas and you'd get most of that rawness back.
I'm surprised the California T or R8 weren't also worth cross shopping.
I just saw the price of the GT vs the Huracan
there might be a 20 grand difference in price
but the V10....
I dont know anymore
i don't understand myself anymore either LOL
id rather get the Huracan, such a sexy car
Wouldn't English people call it a "froot?"
Top Gear's Matt LeBlanc should be replaced with this guy in.This guy gives better review and he speaks way better than that clown. British Top Gear...please Hire him!
The 570S will do 0-60in 2.9 sec which less than the F1's 3.2. With all the technology for $200-230K, it really is a bargain IMHO.
I hate the way this car looks. It's like a Chinese knockoff of the P1 & 650/675.
really nice review ... and as he said it would be cool to see direct comparison of 911 turbo vs. 570GT :-)
Ha grip.!!!!! All very well testing this car in sunny lands on smooth roads but what would the grip be like in the wet on norma road? Now there's a challenge for you? By the way its a great looking sports car
Got to have one!
The funny thing is the most people( i guess 99.99%) who are watching super car reviews never gona buy one because they are to expensive. The guys who can buy it dont care about price or driving experince its just another car in their Garage!
Ok be honest, who really cares about rear visibility? Like you want to see the look of frustration from the guy in a Mustang you just passed? Only time it matters is when you're backing up and you have the camera for that.
If I had the money I would definitely buy it over other supercars. I don't need or want something that leaves the pavement in pieces and has an interior that looks as if it wouldn't be out of place in the cockpit of a rocket. I would want something that looks beautiful, I can use daily, is fun to drive, and is comfortable.
There is only one champion giving speed and comfort every day. Porsche 911 Turbo S.
Edit: 4:00 yeah, exactly! :)
I'm sorry I wasn't listening, I was lost in your eyes..
the GT rear just took that performance car flair away from the 570... don't like it; too FEMALE...
Eh, at the end of the day, all of Mclarens cars since the 12c have basically just been improvements on that, not that it hasn't stepped it up every time, but you can't help but feel they will do a large change sometime soon.
I can't believe your comparing this to a porshe this should be compared with like a huracane or even a 458? this car is on another level or is it just me fan boying over it :S
As soon as you started speaking, I thought of the 911 Turbo S. Luckily, you brought it up in this review. And very appropriate that you do! So which is better... tough choice.
Probably the only car I would trade my 911 for
I WANT ONE!!!!
Now I have to win the Powerball lottery. Or some very generous person could gift me one. 😊
Needs a no glasses warming, I wasn't prepared for the new super villain look.
You guys shortened the logo intro again. Also,it's strange to see Alex without glasses. Not in a good or bad way. Just in an unexpected kind of way.
Best review yet of the GT. Better than autocar, autoexpress. good job !
Better than Salomandrin?
+Sigmund Freud Ah that guy who always makes 10 year old jokes and is on weed all the time ? Lol he didn't review the GT and I doubt he will.
Emilioh888
Haha, I'd agree his "penis points" is a little juvenile. I think he just got the 675LT, though.
+Sigmund Freud :) exactly. Thats if he keeps it :)
we're going to have to disagree that this sounds awesome. it may sound better than a 911 turbo, but if this sounds awesome....what does an R8 sound like?
The 570GT is indeed sleeker than the S, but the increased airflow from the fixed roof should affect top speed, right?
that's a lot of eye makeup lol
1:27 Says McLaren doesn’t have carbon ceramics... shows a shot of the McLaren carbon ceramic brakes... *facepalm* lol
I don't know why but every time I look at these new mclaren models they remind me of kids toy - I want them to grow on me because r8 and 911 turbo are just boring to me but they are aren't just there yet!
Your eyes really pop without glasses. I'm so conflicted, I like both looks!
Hands off, he's mine!
Rear glass makes the rear more attractive than the 570s. Now remove that rear storage crap and show the engine.Put a divider between the driver and engine bam you have a sexy super car
so this car is for more like for cruising around... well I'd have a lot more fun and comfort in a LOT of cars. I think Mclaren has lost their plot on this one.
If I was to spend my own money on a car like this, it would be either the R8 or the Turbo S depending on whether it will be used daily or not...
Just wish McLaren would improve their interiors. If I win the lottery, the interiors might make me look elsewhere :p
yet another mclaren which looks exactly the same as any other mclaren..
They've nailed this. What a perfect machine.
Where is this video filmed??? Mountains look like a fantasy world
this screen thing can be eastly fixed. get a Gorilla screen in front of the boxes like you would a table. the display will shine through
Who is this guy? I don't know him. Bring back the other dude. You know, the one with the glasses?
I prefer the Porsche 911 Turbo S ... It's more car for the money. And I love Porsche ☺️
Supercars made for the American market are quiet already due to regulations, to make them
loud is to install an aftermarket exhaust.
I'll take a GT over a 911 turbo, theres less of them, they're prettier and more exciting
488 gtb is more comfortable than 911 turbo, says autocar and some other journalists.
McLaren has too many reliability issues, get that square away than you can compete with Porsche.
That is true. But It is like my RUclips channel.
Alex G. great review as always you provide a very informative automotive conversation. I am going to put you on the spot, being you have probably driven them all; what would your opinion of the 570GT, Ferrari's 488GTB or the Porsche 911 GTS....? Which do you think is an easier car to live with for a 60 year old couple as a short vacation or weekend cruiser with carry on suitcases, or are these not suitcase friendly?
Thank you
1:41I could swear those are carbon ceramic rotors, They arenot standard but they are an option on the 570GT
WHAT A CAR...AMAZING!! Give me one or those over a Porsche any day of the week.
what happened to your hair :0...btw what's your name?
Anyone else reminded a bit of Simon from TopTenz when they see Alex without his glasses?
So basically the McLaren for non-enthusiasts. Still seems like a great car though.
I'm surprised that you like the sound. I drove a 570s and didn't care for the sound
&! this car seems to make the guy driving more handsome than usual... extraordinary.
Tell me I'm not the only one who things this car is ugly. I love the 675lt but this is awful
