...And that, dear audience is how history is written: One of the best 20 minute car reviews of all time. No hyperbole! No edgy cut scenes. No whiff of vesed interests and, most importantly, No "OMG!!! 😯😲" Thank you! - easy sub!! Congratz! 🍺
It definitely sounds a bit like that in this review, maybe has to do with his sound set up,other reviews I've seen this car sounds pretty dam good,amittingly not as good as the lambo v10,but the overall package this car offers is is very enticing, the sensational steering feel ,suspension ,visibility from the cabin which other super cars often lack😊@@gazzabrownhigh8891
The car makes you have a permanent smile on your face. The car has once again developed enormously. Just the wider speed range, the steering and the chassis compared to the 720S. Gigantic.
My brand new GT3 has had 3 curious rattles, the SF90 I drove on track had rattles, the 296 GTS I have on order rattled during the 3 hours I had with the demo car. Cars fucking rattle these days. It’s annoying but it also doesn’t seems to be something that even this level of car can escape.
Not too dissimilar to what Ferrari did with the 488 to the f8. Except, the 488 was never the bench mark in terms of performance, but the 720s was, so makes sense that they haven't messed with it too much.
I thought McLarens were lighter than that. 200 kg less than Ferrari's Budget plug-in hybrid is nice, but more or less par. Just tell us the laptime head to head with 720S on equal tyres on th same day! 😀
I am sure it is very fast and capable on track, and rides well on the road, but I could not imagine paying that sort of money that is just so bland inside, and sounds so awful. Just seems short of soul and passion. A scalpel, a tool.
@@ludda42 An M838T weighs 439 pounds and that likely doesn't include the intercoolers, piping, etc. (admittedly, those don't weigh a lot). A McLaren F1 engine was 584 lbs at 6 liters and the T50's engine is 392 lbs at 4 liters. Given that a DCT is typically a hundred or more pounds heavier than a similar manual, I don't see why the balance would necessarily shift much at all. And we might look at both the T50 and McLaren F1 engine and declare they're unobtanium-level products, but I don't think either are so completely in the stratosphere, technology-wise, to not have a more production friendly design come close. An F1 engine was very similar to two BMW M3, S50 engines and the T50 engine looks an awful lot like modern sport-bike engines. So, if the investment money was there, I don't see any reason why a 5 liter V12 with manual couldn't come in at or below the current powertrain weight with very strong performance (likely not as fast, but that wasn't the point).
I think they will very slowly evolve like the 911's. I am tired of seeing the same basic aesthetic too, but I think the McLaren aficionados will appreciate the minor improvements/details and perceive them as being "fresh" with advancement of certain aspects. Probably talking out my arse but they have hit a profitable and popular formula so why mess with it? Because the cars look too similar and it would be great to bring another design into the world in the same vein if development costs aren't prohibitive.
Feels like a step backwards. Like the 750 came out then it was refined into the 720 and perfected with the 765. The center console looks HORRIBLY cheap now. Looks like a PDA from the 90s now. The 3 buttons are about as exciting as elevator buttons now. The older multi function buttons and knobs looked WAY better. Moved to the pods on the dash is fine. That I do like but the center screen also lost the buttons at the bottom of it that gave it a techy look. Like I said. Now you have elevator buttons next to a 90s PDA. The 720 and 765 rear ends are WAY better looking and I mean WAY... 30% changes? 30% more boring.... Swing and a miss McLaren.
Given the sheer amount of faults and poor quality issues that has been reported over recent years, who actually goes into a Mclaren dealer and hands over their money for this generic garbage? Seriously?

Such a great review mate, loved it and the example of the progress of McLaren.
Love this in detail review, very informative!
The best Video Review by a weekly Car Magazine 😊
McLaren will always have my money any day. Looking forward for a test drive
This is 200KG lighter(kerb) than a Lambo Huracán. Very impressive.
Yeah but sounds like a vacuum cleaner. V10 N/a all the way baby
@@gazzabrownhigh8891 True but if it's just that engine Im looking for I would go with an Audi R8. Unless you mean the 5.0 Lambo V10...
5.2 V10 Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica, proper old school supercar@@Squilliam-Fancyson

How is driver legroom , for a tall guy ?
Beautiful car. Love the chromatic sunroof

It's the equivalent of what the F8 was to the 488. Not bad
Evo significant morning speed at home.
2nd reviewer I’ve seen that stretches to the wheel in that car. Any changes in seating position..?
Thanks Henry, I do live in Ecuador! Big fan, keep it up.
Did you mean to address this to Henry Cathchpole at Hagerty?
Best super car on sale!
*MX-5 Miata Is Always The Answer !* 👍
(For the non millionaire enthusiast).
I can imagine it with a Gordon Murray V 12 instead..
Matt Prior should be the only reviewer Autocar send to drive supercar/hypercar :( :( :(
Strange ending to the video. Just tapered off
So it's a great track car AND a great road car.... as long as you buy the track focused model AND the road focused model. Perfect!
720 or 765 KT look better for me
Hybrid super sport car? Nope, I prefer the one with the two fuel pumps...
I thought McLarens were lighter than that.
200 kg less than Ferrari's Budget plug-in hybrid is nice, but more or less par.
Just tell us the laptime head to head with 720S on equal tyres on th same day! 😀
looks like tt!
Review is okay, but man stop shifting gears all the time. Who drives like that?!?
I am sure it is very fast and capable on track, and rides well on the road, but I could not imagine paying that sort of money that is just so bland inside, and sounds so awful. Just seems short of soul and passion. A scalpel, a tool.
I was thinking "if they put a medium displacement V12 with manual in this, they couldn't build them fast enough"
A V12 would add weight and disrupt the balance of the car. No thanks

McLaren really need some new design language with their new cars. The design is past it's sell by date.
Why?
Definitely a prospective McLaren buyer this one

So lazy literally looks exactly the same as the 720 generation of cars
That's generally how a face-lift works
@@th3b0untyhunterdidn’t work for madonna
@BobbyDazzler888 lol true
Brand new cars are slightly different to ancient old pop stars mind you :p
Refined, sometimes you don’t need a whole new car you just need more refinement…..
You know nothing about mclaren if you compare it to another car.
2nd!
Go to bed kid.

I’m assuming you’ve had a go in one with that comment?
ginge : I agree.

From someone who drives super cars on a daily basis…..
@@johnnyboy114 You won't find a Mclaren owner who could daily drive their car even if they wanted too. Lol.
@@ginge82 I mean more as a reviewer for comparison reasons than an owner.
