is it me, or does it feel like whenever I watch one of these reviews it doesn't even feel like a review. It feels like a high budget movie with all the intense music, and beautiful camera shots. well done.
Excellent footage and excellent editing. The voice-overs and subtle music were perfectly placed. Thanks for a very entertaining, visually pleasing, and professional review
Great Video Rory, but 2 things: 1) FIAT and McLaren should not mentioned in the same video!!! 🤣 2) Any Bentley looks more comfortable and practical as a GT (or any regular car) than a McLaren!! McLaren's belong on a track or showing off as a track car around town, not getting groceries!!! 😉
McLaren are killing it lately. The 720S, the 600 LT, the Senna, now this. Soon the Speedtail and the Elva. Each one so unique, each one more impressive than the other.
So it's not a super car? The roar of the engine and looks... 203mph. Sounds like a super car that's easy to drive. Which seems to be what McLaren does best.
Rory, that's an epic review for a close to epic car. I especially liked the period, when you spoke about undertaking countless miles for a seemingly mundane thing, in a great GT car. That's what a true GT is all about.. Driving long journeys. Thank you. 👍❤️
Good car no doubt But nothing can be compared to the Bentley Continental gt. Im an Aston man myself but damn the new continentals interior is just out of this world!
McLaren GT - 2 seats, Bentley Continental - 4 seats... so no the McLaren isn’t the better car in the sense of being an actual grand tourer, which the Conti actually is.
If McLaren can justify it, this would be a great platform for a hybrid. Along the lines of BMW i8 but more biased toward the electric drive with 2 to 4 cyl ultra-efficient ICE only for charging and low-mid performance drive. I know that’s not the way the market’s going, but I believe it should be.
It's just ridiculous that there is nothing retaining the rear luggage from sliding into the cabin when you slam the brakes other than a silly low set bar behind the seats. See Doug de Muro's review and watch the golf clubs escape out of the golf bag as he applies normal pressure to the brakes. There are 6 hooks built into the trunk walls where you might be able to attach some retaining net over your luggage, but that would still be impractical to install and uninstall on a regular basis. Also, ideally the rear windshield would be much more tinted to preserve at least some luggage privacy, but that's probably not an option as it would dangerously impact retrovision and might not even be legal. Most customers in this price range probably can afford a thrilling uncompromised McLaren plus a practical, spacious, 4 seat, front-engined, everyday GT.
Love to watch your videos car reviews just A awesome so much clarity of what you get for your Bucks. Your video on the too much Power Jaguar XKR,S 🐆 is epic and will go down in history that solidifies you as A Great Auto Reviewer. Thanks 🙏 for letting me know where to put my money on the Bentley Continental GT
Great review. Rory mentioned features and benefits not mentioned elsewhere like the flat torque band for ease of cruising and the way the steering is less sensitive in the middle for mile-munching - but still ramps up fast for spirited driving and catching skids quickly. And the fact this is way better to drive than any other GT car. He was honest about not being able to test the trick suspension properly on these smooth roads and how the load space while big may not be so practical. Await another review on Uk roads for that! But hoping it will be really comfy, fingers crossed.
Rory my man! You are EPIC , keep up the Incredible review and you will be better than old top gear .........man you are so great and entertaining!!!!!!!
I’m conflicted between this an AMG GTR roadster and Acura NSX the latter two will have the best resale because they have a limited amount only 750 gtr roadsters in Us but what do you think is the best bang for buck
another brilliant production from you family very funny yet again informative full of very good insights like your work I see that your very passionate in your work so happy always after watching your shows nice
My biggest problem with it was something you very, very subtly stated: "the pedals are a bit too close together." The pedals are actually WAY too close together rendering it almost undriveable to me!! Why in God's name did they do this? I was attempting to drive this car in sandals and I discovered that my foot was covering both pedals at the same time! It was scaring the crap out of me!! I don't even have exceptionally large feet (they are size 11 American). I had to drive the car with bare feet or with both with my feet placed just right to only cover the outer edge of each pedal! Difficult in a test drive with the intrusive salesman seated next to me to say the least. Again, why the heck would they do this??!! I've never had this problem on any of their other cars or any other cars (Ferrari, Aston, etc.)? Strange... Other than that I absolutely loved it and would consider strongly getting one. But for that reason alone I'm not sure I could. Can they move the pedals? I know you can do aftermarket kits and all that, but can the dealer/factory move the pedals??? Anyone answering would be very helpful....
It could work as gt car. If you use soft luggage and pack really good. Use the front and back storage I am willing to test this car in the south and the blue ridge mountains
I don’t think there’s anyone choosing between this McLaren and a Bentley like they’re in the same category. The McLaren is a lightweight supercar, despite the “GT” badge, while the Bentley is a large, heavy GT. Calling a McLaren a GT is like putting an R badge on a Bentley.
Come on mate, you could have put all that shopping in the front compartment…. Why drive away and leave all your shopping on the floor, that’s not a proper review for practicability was it ?
Jason O'Reilly I think because they have chose a more elegant and classy design they chose a more luxury looking set of Wheels rather than the typical sporty look they use on all the other models in their range, personally I think they make the GT stand apart from the other McLarens in the range, but each to there own 🤷♂️
@@Chris2010H Fair points mate. Especially about the sportyness of my choice. I think these wheels 'complicate' the side profile and looks as if the wheels 'slice' through the air rather than 'glide'. It's weird to explain but like you said each to their own
This is a great design.. and for once this car looks normal for all the so called exotics..they often get too wild with the concept design that many and up looking like space ships.. and the ridiculous price comes along with it.. nice normal looking beast.. keep up the good work man
Much as it’s a great Tesco (other supermarkets are available) car you’re going to be hard pressed to get the garden rubbish in the back to get to the dump! For that you need the AMG GLA45, blisteringly fast when you need it with 375hp. 4wd for those snowy days (rare in UK - but then I am closer to France than t’north). And a boot for “stuff” when you go on that continental holiday (Brexit at the end of the month.....). Great to watch Rory and so pleased you’re back in the public eye. But I’ll stick with mine.

Beautiful looking car, but a GT Tourer?, these cars never go on any tour, they get used sparingly, because the people who can afford them, buy them and keep in their collection until the price rises, then sell them, they are like artwork, an investment. Overpriced and out of range unless you are a millionaire. Nice review Rory, iv'e missed you on the box. I would rather buy an Aston Martin, never been a McLaren fan, they are strangely cold by design.
Dude 911 Turbo is my dream car, but for the past couple of years these have been enticing me. I think I will have to buy the Maclaren. Gorgeous car.....Rory is so much better here doing Autot Rader than Top Gear, he has found his home here. Another sub added...
I'd still take a fully loaded AMG S63 coupe over this or a Bentley. More classy and understated from the outside and more tricks up it's sleeve on the inside.
@@Aron-ru5zk Right, the guy in charge. Do you want people to know you're the guy calling the shots, or for them to think he's your sugar daddy? That's the difference we're talking about.

Rory! You have clearly found your home at Auto Trader, it’s nice to see you back! Also what was happening with that tailgate in the intro 😂
Internet is the present and the future. TV is the past.
I think he was in front of the since you're so the car with open its trunk cuz their was something above it so it doesn't hit it

"Impaled by a baguette" and the coconut concussion had me in stitches. Instant like
DimSumDom People don’t realize it.. but baguette impalement is a genuine problem. Each year at least 20 French people suffer from injuries... No joke
He could’ve just put it in the fronk🙄
This guy is a brilliant car journalist I watch alot on RUclips he's the best one.
Definitely
By far. He is very informative while keeping it interesting
Brother, I love your commentary its beyond amazing! You definitely have a new sub right here!
Thanks Jonathan! Much appreciated!!
Rory absolutely Rocking motoring journalism 😊✊🏼
Just discovering Rory on Autotrader now I want a McClaren GT for the week day commute
Excellent footage and excellent editing. The voice-overs and subtle music were perfectly placed. Thanks for a very entertaining, visually pleasing, and professional review
Much love
Mclaren please dont ever make an SUV. This car is superb.
They'll not
I read it in McLaren google
Let them make what they want to survive.
They will, and it's not
If they did make an SUV Bruce McLaren would spin in his grave like a "Whirling Dervish" 😉😱
The rear hatch , could be a bloody good air brake
"A GT unlike any other." At a price tag that's higher than most other GT's, it better be.
The boot rack is impractical shaped but anyone who puts loose items back there instead of the frunk is asking for trouble.
Great Video Rory, but 2 things:
1) FIAT and McLaren should not mentioned in the same video!!! 🤣
2) Any Bentley looks more comfortable and practical as a GT (or any regular car) than a McLaren!! McLaren's belong on a track or showing off as a track car around town, not getting groceries!!! 😉
Exactly . After hearing THAT INSANE Comment and him slamming the hood down I soon realized I was watching a REAL IDIOT!
This video is impeccably done. Love seeing you do reviews!
This is elite content Rory.
McLaren are killing it lately. The 720S, the 600 LT, the Senna, now this. Soon the Speedtail and the Elva. Each one so unique, each one more impressive than the other.
This guy makes the best car reviews by far, of any channel, magazine or tv program
This is the review that made me subscribe. This is also the first video I've watched from this channel. Amazing. Well done man!
Love Rory's reviews, one of my favourite car reviewer.
Of course the continental gt is today the best gt in production! Best interior. 329 km ...4 seats!w12 ! And is beautiful!!
the Bently is SO Boring and Mehhh looking. The only people that would prefer that over this BEAUTIFUL car are OLD PEOPLE!
So it's not a super car? The roar of the engine and looks... 203mph. Sounds like a super car that's easy to drive. Which seems to be what McLaren does best.
Rory and Chris Harris should present top gear all the time !!!
Top gear is a dated, hackneyed format and deserves to be buried.
Basically a chiron but more practical, luxury chassis with sporty design
obviously you put your shopping in the front storage .... no spearing by baguette or injured by a flying coconut
Rory, that's an epic review for a close to epic car. I especially liked the period, when you spoke about undertaking countless miles for a seemingly mundane thing, in a great GT car. That's what a true GT is all about.. Driving long journeys.
Thank you. 👍❤️
This is a well-rounded car, with plenty of performance, but also luxurious features and decent storage.
Good car no doubt
But nothing can be compared to the Bentley Continental gt.
Im an Aston man myself but damn the new continentals interior is just out of this world!
you must be old and boring! the Bently is SO Boring and Mehhh looking. The only people that would prefer that over this BEAUTIFUL car are OLD PEOPLE!
The frunk. Of course! No engine heat, perfectly shaped, easy to load. I’ve always wanted a car with a frunk.
McLaren GT - 2 seats, Bentley Continental - 4 seats... so no the McLaren isn’t the better car in the sense of being an actual grand tourer, which the Conti actually is.
So the AMG GT or a vantage isn’t a gt?
At my “advanced “ age... I would go with the GT. Another fine review...It’s that British accent... ya just gotta believe everything Rory says.
Lol
Well for sure it’s not better than a Bentley, but it is a great car.
But let's be fair if you can afford one of these then your gonna have more than one car to do the shopping🤔
0:02 close the front trunk properly please
Mclarens making GT's and Aston Martins adding super cars with the 2021 Vanquish.
I love it! It's like Apple vs Google but with UK cars.
If McLaren can justify it, this would be a great platform for a hybrid. Along the lines of BMW i8 but more biased toward the electric drive with 2 to 4 cyl ultra-efficient ICE only for charging and low-mid performance drive. I know that’s not the way the market’s going, but I believe it should be.

Rory man... such a good journalist my god
what is that color called
Nice car but I'd still pick a DBS superleggera over this, it looks way better in my opinion but both are good cars.
Honest review which tells the truth that it does not work as a GT! 👍
Is that what it did?
"impaled by a baguette" .... LOL
I don’t think there’s anyone choosing between this McLaren and a Bentley like they’re in the same category. The McLaren is a lightweight supercar, despite the “GT” badge, while the Bentley is a large, heavy GT. Calling a McLaren a GT is like putting an R badge on a Bentley.
Beautiful roads.. what's the name of the road?
Raja Nazrul Hakim Derek
What is name of this color ???
I just wish this wasn't identical to the Ferrari 360 Modena. It immediately looks so mid-late 90s.
Slam shut the front trunk - it did not close, press a button to open back trunk - it did non open. All about McLaren in first 20 seconds.
MP4-12C is the best car from Mclaren after their first car ofcourse
Rory is so likable ... Subscribed
It is more likely that a Mclaren owner already has a Bentley (or two)
Are you in Italy??
7:35 OMG THAT ANT!!!!!
Come on mate, you could have put all that shopping in the front compartment…. Why drive away and leave all your shopping on the floor, that’s not a proper review for practicability was it ?
Too many spokes on the alloys. Need to be less, say 5 or 7 and have the spokes thicker.
But Yeh that car is sick

Anyone know the name of the music at 1:22?
McLaren GT is a beautiful and luxurious sport GT with some practicality.
The colors on this video production, God damn!! Only carfection comes close.
Rory at his finest 👍Quality GT a well👍
The supermarket bags go in the front. Otherwise, I have a feeling the cheese in the baguette will melt into the lining
What Color is this?
Can someone please tell me exactly what the color of this car is?
Burnished Cooper.
This is a great design.. and for once this car looks normal for all the so called exotics..they often get too wild with the concept design that many and up looking like space ships.. and the ridiculous price comes along with it.. nice normal looking beast.. keep up the good work man
Er. Your shopping will go under the bonnet at the front. The space looks deep and upright, so it’s actually better for shopping.
During the take with the tailgate acting up the front hatch didn't properly close either. These cars are terrible and great at the same time.
Much as it’s a great Tesco (other supermarkets are available) car you’re going to be hard pressed to get the garden rubbish in the back to get to the dump!
