My Dacia has a Mclaren rear view mirror. Cool!
Most underrated comment hahaha!
@@cmac1100 like than first service cost more than u dacia,...
@@timomoilanen3675 yes, especially since it gets delivered with faults :P
Mine too ! you know at least we have a better Rear mirror than Lamborghini Huracan !
Fuckin brilliant
Mat: Showing off car
Camera man: Oooh, Bees!
It will 100% lose its value
Are you going to do a 2 million subscriber special
Those are Horse flys lol
@@Jcrash1 My bad lol
you don't even know how bees look like. that's sad
5 things we don't like about this car:
1. It has an ugly, price
2. It's pricey
3. It costs to much
4. It's expensive
5. It doesn't have a headphone Jack
I had a smile face until 4th but 5th made my day man,i laughed so hard 🤣,like i watch a new smartphone video
Does it have cupholders?
Your never wrong Gandalf...
I just won the lottery I'm thinking of buying it
Amelia stephenson Lol, actually? Would be the first time I’ve actually heard of someone winning the lottery lmao
4:25 after Matt said the price I got an ad right after that moment saying *are you living in debt?*
when matt was about to talk about the '5 annoying things' popped up an ad about an app that counts things if you can't
"not yet"
What kind of peasant joke is this I’m too rich to understand?
@Maan Albashir 8A Varagårdsskolan Yes they do. They have plenty of adds.
The worst part honestly is £4000 for a green paint... that's grey.
Imagine driving past a bright yellow Diablo SV and not even mentioning it? 12:03
Marsellus Wallace now I’m doubting that Matt is a true petrolhead. He should’ve flipped!
He's been given a McLaren to drive and review. He wouldn't want to mention another car made by a competitor in this video. Also, he was busy talking so he wouldn't start commenting about the lambo.
He literally stared at the wing mirror as it went passed..
Well, it’s the French Riviera. I bet he saw cars even rarer than the Diablo SV.
Luke Oliphant That’s not commenting on it is it though
Anyone with less than $50 in their bank account watching this?
Trust me less than 10$
You need to learn how to save money then wtf lol
@@MostafaMohamed-mj4pn hahaha
Wtf how do you live?
@@AnonymousSuperTuber no bro it's just another Currency that it's multiple by 18
For such price point its unacceptable to have faults at nearly zero miles.
watch the very end of the video
It is considering that this thing is a pre production car :)
I had an mp4-12 for a week and I returned it because it had a check engine light on from the get go and some other concerns, I
Am very worried about how mclaren is churning out cars and how many have little
Issues, the 720s have weird issue too
@@panos1310 How do you still buy it after the weird infotainment display
@@panos1310 McLaren doesn't have good reliability at all
Matt Watson and Carwow are filling the void top gear w/out Clarkson, May and Hammond left when they left the show. Great work!
Did you ever watch grand tour?
Randomwhateve R Is it as nice as Top Gear? Doubt so
Agreed, hope the next gen car presenters will be like this
Nothing to do with each other lol
@@augustusfukushima5979 It is a different layout but it is less restricted and i can really feel the top gear vibe I also find this show a bit more entertaining and funny, I can say that the writers have done an amazing job capturing top gears essence without flat out just copying it (because they could have been sued) but I just love it lol haha

How TF are electrically operated seats a paid option on a 160,00£ gt?
Ojas Tushar because not everyone needs or wants electric seats. I hate electric seats. Pointless crap for lazy people.
Jabber 1974 it’s about the price point if I’m paying 160,000 for a car I expect it to have everything
@@Jabber-ig3iw mate, it's a grand touring car. They are supposed to be the pinnacle of luxurious high speed motoring. I get that you don't like it but I find it ridiculous that such an expensive car doesn't have it as standard.
Probably because there are people who don't want to increase the weight of perfectly balanced car, with engineers fighting for every gram in the process. Especially if the price is spending 15 seconds once a month (at max) to manually adjust your seat.
It is not a Bentley or Rolls-Royce gt after all. It's the McLaren's gt. If Lamborghini (Lotus, Pagani, etc.) are going to make some gt's, they probably will have the same attitude. And they will be right.
@@Gandalf721 So leave it an option, but don't charge extra for it. Pretty simple.
12:02 Lamborghini Diablo SV😍
...damn it.
I though I was the first one to spot it.
But hey- we've got good eyes!
Damn that was a good spot!
Spot on
Wtf... do you watch it at 0.5 speed? Lol
Eagle eye
The bloody options cost more than my car
@Baza H ikr! They'd charge another 5k for a personalised card 😆😆
His glasses cost more than my car
The cheapest McLaren is the best Mclaren
My honda costs less than the speakers 😭😭
@@dexterrr9163 I don't believe you!
It’s good that they are bringing the developments from f1 to their street cars such as the reliability issues.
Looks pretty good imo though.
Maybe Honda did the infotainment lol
@@Smirnoff44 Honda has a good infotainment system, so I don't get this comment
@@-SP. if you knew anything about f1 and the very bad McLaren - honda relationship you would understand it
@@Smirnoff44 say that in 2021 😏
Mat is one of the few guys who understood that only showing the car is no longer enough for a 15 minutes video. He is not just a good journalist, he is a real entertainer!
That Johnny fella from late brake show is better
Nobody:
Matt: These glasses are a thousand Pounds
Me: xD
I hope the glass doesn't break or scratch for the price
Those are some heavy glasses
Weird. He was just saying they’re so light weight.
He meant the price
12:00 pause the vid to see a yellow Lamborghini Diablo SV passing by on the background, Mat tries his best not to react haha
Me: *Hit the brakes*
McLaren: Wait, I'm lagging. This will take a while.
Designed to feel like a luxury GT car. Normal McLarens stop like they hit a brick wall. Not ideal for luxury car.
RW that makes no sense
@@mrmathiasdv1940 it is supposed to brake gradually not instantly
Calling something a grand *TOURER* but not fitting adaptive cruise control is just plain idiotic.
But who could they have partnered with to get that? It's very advanced technology and McLaren can't just pull it outta their backside. Maybe Tesla since this car doesn't compete with any Tesla for now

@@visionist7 I am not talking about autonomous driving, I am talking about adaptive / radar cruise control which simply maintains a certain distance based on a radar sensor near the front bumper. Everyone, every single bread & butter car manufacturer has it - But not the 200.000€+ sports car manufacturers. Is just a shame if you look at how much money you are sinking into such a vehicle.
@@DSP1337 You can even get adaptive cruise in a 15k skoda...
@@DSP1337 Everyone, every single bread & butter car hasn't got it.Not at all.
Me: What should this Mclaren Grand Tourer be called?
Mclaren Designer: *Call it GT*
"So what should we call this new motorsport division?"
"M."
"So what should we call this GT3 based car?"
"911 GT3. "
They missed an opportunity to call it the 620GT, since it has 620 horsepower.
Hey everyone - Mat here! 👋 carwow is crowdfunding! From as little as £10, you can invest in our business and - I guess - become one of my bosses 😂 This offer ends at midnight UK time on 6th October, so you’d better hurry! Click this link to find out more: bit.ly/-carwow-crowdfunding (Capital at Risk).
I'll invest just to keep the stick and bottle action going.
this was more like a sarcastic roast.
I love it
Definitely investing, just a question am in South Africa can I take part too?
Avoid like the plague unless you are too dumb and want to hand over $$$. IT IS NOT AN INVESTMENT
Crowdfunding tells me that things are not good...the Bank has said “No more” and now desperation is beginning...a real shame if that is the case.🧐
The last part which mention the reliability is probably the worst ever 5 annoying thing on carwow history
Nice profile pic lol
Very true
What you mean?
This car cost £100,000 and it has faulty infotainment system. How can that be acceptable?
McLaren Honda :V 2015
This isn’t really a GT, but more of a refined supercar.
Refined-Hahahahaha
Indeed, a gap that no other manufacturer really fills. Mid engine GT all the others are front engine biased.
Love the McLaren GT! Luxury + Speed! We also done a Vlog on having the McLaren GT for the weekend! ruclips.net/video/5A-Hd2LwSd8/видео.html
I love your reviews. You bring that fresh air to the car reviews with your humor, and very few car reviewers have the ability to catch the attention of the viewers, and you sire ... are right up there with Clarkson. Please never stop doing what you're doing.
diablo at 12:03 !!
Good eye
Goddamnit I just logged in to comment on that. The SV is still as amazing as it was in the 90s.
Eagle eye 👌
Saw it too without even seeing your comment! Sv as well. Great spot
Leo Elkins shit i just commented that😂
GT is something practical this isnt, bently is real GT!
bentley is luxury "coupe" GT ...this is supercar luxury GT and for this it is practical enough
and ur gay¨
@@kristianolsenlarsen ur wet
I just think this is expensive because its mclarren, so 500+ liters of boot space? Oh no there is 16 boots so thats why is 500+ liters of space come on its stupid
U right 💯
Let's be honest, this is not a GT car and I don't know why McLaren would market it as such.
It's a GT compared to the Senna
It can fit golf clubs.
It fits nicely into a niche. It's for people who would like to buy a 570s, but in the end go for something like an AMG GT or Vantage, as it has added practicality and is a better daily comfortwise.
Good point. The COST is best in GT range??? Superfast/Aston😒😒😒😒
@@Abdullah..S in that case the 720 a GT😒😒😒
For some reason it looks older than the current McLarens
Its because it resembles the mp412c a little more than the others
Because of the McLaren logo headlights. They've brought it back to a new model since 2015. Also, dull colours make cars look old, vibrant colours usually make things look newer.
Yet still the better ..
McLaren GT and Speedtail are the worst McLaren cars
I really like the looks this and the 12c look awesome.
The 12c from the rear looks like a Testarossa
The 5 annoying things about this car are a total embarrassment for a car this expensive. Shame on you Mc Laren
Florian Haffner your literally buying it because of that brand
This is nothing compared with all bad things in a aston martin and every gt car like this also have annoying things (turbo s/ferrari gtc4 lusso ...) and as what I know this is a preproduction car so the software bugs will be solved
Knowing that people don't care if they damage something because it's not their car this car is in good shape.
720S Spider is better!
@@chamotyannis I know a few McLaren owners, and there have been many complaints abt such issues, build quality, electronics shorting out and what not. McLaren need to do a better job considering what they are charging.
This must be the first time that someone mentions Dacia in a McLaren review 😂
So basically....you go to McLaren when you want a brand new already broken car.
And Range Rover
I love how the brits are always making fun of American cars when their cars are overpriced turds.
Roki Vulović I love German cars too... as long as you don’t buy one without a warranty or you’re able get it cheap enough and have cash in reserve to spend a ton of money on any repair it needs. My wife has a Benz we got new and had to send it back twice for a cylinder deactivating. Thankfully under warranty and I think it has been a computer issue both times. Nothing mechanical.
🔥Technical guruji 🔥
New Car collection 😍
Def wouldn’t call it a Grand tourer but it’s McLaren what can you do
JarHead break down, that’s what you’d do
@@julian987r4 You own one?
@@christmasisawesome9348 You have an opinion?? You better own one if you're going to have an opinion.
@@Malc180s Chill. I'm just wondering if he wrote that from his experience with the car or not.
At no point did I said that Julian can't have an opinion unless he owns the vehicle. Don't misinterpret that.
Oh..That's a strawman btw.
Christmas Is Awesome don’t need to, just read the McLaren forums on Brand dissatisfaction
163 of those sun glasses will buy you a proper sports car
Makes sence. Also 10 of them buy you a proper regular car. Blows your mind
Feels like car is bargain
HARMENDEEP DHILLON that’s a freaking good point!😳 163 glasses isn’t much, but it’s 1 GT, crazy!!
@HARMENDEEP DHILLON _ Indeed! New C8 Corvette would smoke this thing on all aspects, including reliability.
@@squidproquo2241 All aspects? How about luxury? McLaren isn't worried about being the best drivers car
Thanks sir, i love the review. I actually test drove a 570gt yesterday and its so rough for a man that daily drives a BMW 7series and RR wraith. The spaces between the pedals are tight and it keeps revving up when downshifting. I was looking for sport and comfort and you nailed it with the Mclaren GT. But by the way, which are the most comfortable and relaxing GT sports cars?
I love how this car looks. Sexy styling, SEXY RIMS.
Yeah, I just wish it had an odd number of spokes because that would look more pleasing I think
190k car that break in less than 5 mins 🤣
Very nice..
Its press car
Will you do entry level "premium" cars like
Entry level C-class Vs entry level 3 series Vs entry level A4?
So basically premium cars in poverty spec
That would be interesting. It depends on the audience though. It's funny we like watching vids about cars we can't afford 😂.
11:27 Omg, thats sainte maxime i've been on holiday there ever since i was 10 :O
"Have a bit of a perv..."
That full option package is 10 times the value of my car.
Was thinking exactly the same
That's because your cars are both shit.
I can say that, because mine is too.
@@TheJkghfg I dont know. They cost more than my car too and mine has Adaptive Cruise.
100x for me haha
12:04 that yellow Diablo tho 😍
12:03*
1997weiheng Lamborghinis are something else, no matter what your age it gets you excited!
We need 3 seats like the f1
3:35 - the fly thinking “damn that is in deed very nice material human. Alright back to eating your blood now.”

I was so happy when McLaren "resurrected" some years ago... I hope Lotus does the same one day. My favorite British car brands.
Maclaren’s are some of my favorite cars. They need to fix the reliability issues, been hearing way too much about that shit...
What is it with McLaren cars that I always dislike their new designs initially but they end up growing on me eventually. 720s has become one my favorites and now this.
Abhik Kashyap because they’re so different looking that people’s brains don’t know exactly what they’re looking at, then when they see it enough all of the lines come together
@@zachcoulter1499 makes sense. Though, the GT didn't look quite different from the 720s and some of the previous gens.
I saw a pair of glasses just like that at a gas station for $6.99 😂

Anybody else notice that beautiful diablo drive past him while he’s talking about chilling and enjoying the view?
Got to drive this yesterday up in Scotland as part of the GT tour, bloody lovely. The looks off people were mental!
What do you mean - "manual seats" ?! On a 150 000 $ car ?!?!?!?
It's to save weight. How often do you actually adjust the seats in your own car?
@@visionist7 Why would you save weight on a GT car lmao
@@physetermacrocephalus9986 so you can run rings around all the other GT cars
@@visionist7 So what? You're giving up luxury for speed, which isn't at all what a GT car is supposed to do
@@physetermacrocephalus9986 You burst out becaues of manual seats? Do you change your height on a daily basis or why is that so crucial to you? Buddy, I haven't moved my car seat for months now, I couldn't care less about electric car seats.
I will take the Bentley Continental GT any day... This mclaren doesent value that money
Denis Pirvu me too 💯
Denis Pirvu or a 911 Turbo. Bentley GT more luxurious than sporty.
If you want a car that looks like it’s from 2006 you get that Continental. I prefer this Mclaren 🤘😗
I take the Lexus LC over any Bentley.
Joni Papillon you may also prefer calling breakdown! 🤣
is corvlaren
Corvlaren 430
Lol
McVette
im glad im not the only one that thinks the McLaren GR8 is a more curvy c8
After technical guruji
Shame it's not filmed at the surgery car park, rather enjoyed that interruption 😜
A grand tourer unites a luxury car and a supercar. This just is a different approach, not using a luxury car and making it more sporty, but rather taking a supercar and making it more comfy and practical. Really like what they done. Stunning looks, great, modern interiour and great performance. Modern interpretation of a classic concept. And well done so.
Why I was kinda waiting for him to get into the front trunk 😂😂😂😂👌👌
I know this is a minor thing, but I thought the Fly B-roll footage was hillarious af. 🤣
No one:
Bees: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
At that price, seems you are paying a lot of money for those 5 problems which are pretty serious. However no worries for me, I can't even afford the steering wheel
The camera man zooming on the horseflies cracked me up 😂 poor Matt!
Just picked up my 2020 gt used(with 2,000 miles on it) and I've only driven about 500 miles but it's the best car I've ever owned. It is so comfortable but has enough power to keep up with supercars.
It looks like a chinese nockoff hybrid of a Ferrari 360/430 and the new Aston DBS
it looks like chinese knockoff of ur mama
no it just looks like an Upgraded 720s, stfu
Thank you! You read my mind!

When the sun is on the cat it can easily reach the fifties even in sweden
When you start liking GT cars then you know that you are getting old.

Or you are over the age of 15!
Pretty intelligent, slick design for a gt car. I can see myself going to see a client with that!
nice and interesting review, offtopic, great music, also interesting style for a presentation(clearly the bees were not nice to be near),
otherwise, nice looking car.
Front end looks like the C8 but a bit less agressive

@@silent_fluo6917 the fact that you think gta iv which is right behind gta V now is played at 144p baffles me 🙈😂 no I played the game was I was younger and remember using that car

Also Mat: It has hydraulic steering so it feels great!
It's one or the other Matt, advanced semi autonomous cruise control systems are only possible with EPAS.
Good point. I never use cruise control anyway
Good review but why does the number plate change between GT10 and GT14?
8:21 sounds like a spaceship to be honest 🤷♂️
How much can i save on those nice sunglasses from carwow Matt?
😂😂😂😂
Subscribe to SunglassesWow
I kinda love this car. I can forgive it for being mid engined because the overall design is brilliant.
What i'd prefer, since we're talking about a GT, is a more glorious engine (a N/A V12 would be perfect) and more baroque interior (a sportier version of the Continental GT would nail it).
‘And the way the arms work.’
Demonstrates a completely normal closing of the sunglasses.
🤣
That be one pretty whip. Front reminds me a little of the R8 - a little higher and less sloped to accommodate some luggage.
640D Gran Coupe, will get the job done. Be done be.....
Memories
Mat can you make a drag race of model x p100d vs bentayga vs cayenne
7:03 I see what you did there “Frunk” 😂
기현 Arikadou in the UK we don’t have trunks, we have boots, so here it should be a ‘froot’ which I think is much better tbh
9:05 "..The car basically doesn't work."
*half a second later
"It's not all negative, though!"
12:03 omg that lambo diablo 😍
Front 3/4 is a discounted F430 from 15 years ago....
MrPoppyplants it’s not
Don't like the car, but I love the sunglasses! Is it worth buying the car to get a free pair? 😂
Could you please explain what does the launch control do , in your next video?
So that car has the same value as 160 pairs of those sunglasses.
