Previous experience has told me that the McLaren 720S is a fabulous machine, but taking it for some laps on track helped me find a whole new fondness for it! Do you think I should be adding one to the collection though?
same with me😐 at first I really didn't think all that much of it🤨 especially with it coming after the amazing 675lt. but after all these videos, and seeing 2 in person! I'm sold, it looks outstanding!😍. can't wait for a LT version to drop😃👍👍. I have alot More respect for McLaren now than when they first dropped the mp4-12c( that car never really grew on me)
Me too! :-) Car has grown on me but still don't like the odd Speedometer... I like the Dark Red MSO version with the gold wheels and the complete Orange version from HRE wheels! ;-)
That 720S is one fantastic car both in looks and what I could see on track. When your clip showed the cars going by the downshifts were so crisp and the sound.....OMG!!!
It was such a pleasure to meet you at Hampton Downs yesterday and the Shmeeting was just brilliant! You're such an approachable bloke for how busy you are! Have fun on your journey around our beautiful country mate!
Was a great day and pleasure to meet you Tim 😀 Have great time with rest of your trip here. Couldn't make the Shmeeting, the awesomeness, that is the Nissan Pulsar, was over heating 😂 See ya next time .
In a few months, the 720 "LT" variation will be launched and Shmee will say " I actually made a deposit a few months back for this" hahahaha The 720S is already amazing, imagine the "lightweight" version!
It was great to see some cars in this video that I’ve actually seen here in nz anyway keep up the videos and hopefully you’re enjoying nz after not being here for so long
damn Shmee you just keep dropping top notch videos!! I love the look of the 675lt, but I prefer the practicallity of the 720s!! so yes you should get a 720s, since you've already had 2 675s you'd be a good person to explain the differences between the 2😉 thanks again for the awesome videos👍👍
Great vid as usual but... The M23 chassis was driven by Emerson Fittipaldi in 1974 when he was world champion. James was WDC in 1976 - but yes still in the M23 chassis...
Not sure if you know .... both Denny Hulme and Bruce McLaren passed away, while racing, behind the wheel. Bruce at the Goodwood racing circuit behind the wheel of his McLaren M8D CanAm racing car. And Denny Hulme at the Bathurst racing circuit behind the wheel of a BMW M3 ....an often forgotten McLaren test driver Timmy Mayer, Teddy Mayer's younger brother, also passed away behind the wheel of a Cooper F1 racing car at a racing circuit at Tasmania, Longford ...
It's great that the Kiwis love their McLaren cars, it being their birthplace and all(well, the founder anyway). One of the many things that tie the UK and NZ.
If I was a new customer wanting to buy a McLaren and had no bar on money, I would have a bit of trouble deciding between the 720S, 675LT and 570S. All 3 of them are awesome in their own right as cars.
I'll probably never drive either one to compare, but for looks, i prefer the 675 over the 720. Quite a compliment for the instructor to say he was able to relax a bit! I guess your turn in the TT races helped!
Winnipeg Car Life because you said it you probably never will. Be more positivity and hopeful, say “one day I will be in this or own it” and really try and then one day I bet you will, just don give up from the jump. There’s no point in that
Only the drag racing at the start was in reverse direction. All the rest of the track day was in the normal clockwise direction. They cannot run the full track in reverse.
Thanks Tony Quinn for turning Hampton Downs into what it is today. Been there a bunch of times before the renovations, and it was fun seeing Ferrari F1 cars and superbikes blasting round, but it's much cooler now
I'm a huge fan of Tommy Kendall. The nicest person you'd ever want to meet. Say hello from me please. He got in a wicked racing accident years ago. Destroyed his ankles into little tiny bits but still managed to continue his racing career successfully. Just realized you two look an aw-full lot a like. He works the booth explaining the race alot. Lemans type sportcars.
Mclaren is a brand that you won't like it on a first look. You will only like it when you have a chance to drive it out onto the road and the track to figure out what the car is capable of, what its characteristics was and what is the feedback you get from the car. Just like me, when I just know Mclaren, I doesn't interested in it at all but after I have a chance to drove my friend's Mclaren 675LT, I completely fall in love with Mclaren and ended up owning 3 of them which is the Mclaren 570S, Mclaren 675LT and the Mclaren 720S. So, the point is, Mclaren is a car that worth to own and drive. If you never drive one and understand it, you never feel the same as I feel.
Tim, have you watched the top gear on track comparison between the 720 and P1 from Chris Harris yet? nearly identical lap times, very impressive from the 720
YES, YESSSS! FINALLY! Add the 720s to your 'Shmleet' Shmee! Have to say a black satin version would so tasty I'd put it in a sandwich. Would you happen to know whether the 720s is coming as a gt3?
Maybe APEX will have theirs by the time you get there with them for the track event. As Robert is getting one, it will be a good chance, if its there anyway. Then you can go back to back. Though, I think you should get the LT version when it comes around. You should have enough pull to get one.
Previous experience has told me that the McLaren 720S is a fabulous machine, but taking it for some laps on track helped me find a whole new fondness for it! Do you think I should be adding one to the collection though?
So any plans to buy this one in 2 or 3 years or would you rather wait for the lt
Unknown at this stage... Let's wait and see.
I would wait for the LT version of the 720S shmee
Abhik Ray if you wait that long might not want it anymore who knows what cars will be released by then
Shmee150 yes you should buy the 720S.
The 720S is one of the few cars that has grown on me.
Yep, a car that will age well, IMO.
same with me😐 at first I really didn't think all that much of it🤨 especially with it coming after the amazing 675lt. but after all these videos, and seeing 2 in person! I'm sold, it looks outstanding!😍. can't wait for a LT version to drop😃👍👍. I have alot More respect for McLaren now than when they first dropped the mp4-12c( that car never really grew on me)
I'm very impressed with it. The looks haven't grown on me, though.
I think it's just some colors and wheels that make it look awful ... the car itself is beautiful .
Me too! :-) Car has grown on me but still don't like the odd Speedometer... I like the Dark Red MSO version with the gold wheels and the complete Orange version from HRE wheels! ;-)
at the beginning I didn't like the 720s, but I like it more and more every day
same!
That 720S is one fantastic car both in looks and what I could see on track. When your clip showed the cars going by the downshifts were so crisp and the sound.....OMG!!!
This is why i love Mclaren's such an awesome car brand.
It was such a pleasure to meet you at Hampton Downs yesterday and the Shmeeting was just brilliant! You're such an approachable bloke for how busy you are!

Ah I wish I could have come to the Shmeeting. Hope you're enjoying NZ Tim!
Love the comment about that driver being able to relax with you driving ;-) Makes me wonder about the other drivers that were there...
Tim is legend youtuber
QS14TUBE Official yes and James from mr.jwww is also
All the blessings for yet another great video! Cheers!
You are so blessed to be driving all these engineering masterpiece! Enjoy everything in good health 🙌🏼
absolutely awesome video Tim!! loved it!!
Excited that you're visiting Melbourne very very soon. Can't wait to meet you.
In a few months, the 720 "LT" variation will be launched and Shmee will say " I actually made a deposit a few months back for this" hahahaha
The 720S is already amazing, imagine the "lightweight" version!
It’s quite impressive the sheer presence of the 720s. Nice to meet you yesterday Tim....
It was great to see some cars in this video that I’ve actually seen here in nz anyway keep up the videos and hopefully you’re enjoying nz after not being here for so long
It was love at first sight with the 720S
damn Shmee you just keep dropping top notch videos!! I love the look of the 675lt, but I prefer the practicallity of the 720s!! so yes you should get a 720s, since you've already had 2 675s you'd be a good person to explain the differences between the 2😉 thanks again for the awesome videos👍👍
GaPyro 81
I prefer the 720s better than the 675LT both in terms of its looks and performance. But I like the 675LT a lot too!
I cant believe how my opinion on the looks of this car has changed since launch
Thank you Shmee im from NZ hope you liked my country please more cars i love cars keep it coming love what ur doing peace out
Same mate
That GT4 wing on the 570 is to die for!!!!
I love your camera. It's very "true to life" almost feels like your next to the cars :)
Not enough RUclipsrs spec there cars with saddle brown interior! That’s one of the best specs I’ve seen on a 720s.
Tim is the real Legend hats off to him bro
I've seen 720s many times, but for some reason that one from those angles looks fking gorgeous
I love all of your mclaren videos
Oh I love this car so much , when LT version will comes , i will find my love.
Great vid as usual but... The M23 chassis was driven by Emerson Fittipaldi in 1974 when he was world champion. James was WDC in 1976 - but yes still in the M23 chassis...
I would wait for the LT version of the 720S shmee
Toby Williams They aren’t making an LT variant of the 720S... Senna would be too close to it
I bet they do. I have no knowledge whatsoever to back that up, just think they will.
Carspotterfranschhoek _ I think they are but they plan to slowly release new models to slow down depreciation
760LT! ;-)
Current McLaren boss confirmed that they aren't
He surprised me in this video... well done Shmee!
Can't wait to see you in Christchurch tomorrow !
Not sure if you know .... both Denny Hulme and Bruce McLaren passed away, while racing, behind the wheel. Bruce at the Goodwood racing circuit behind the wheel of his McLaren M8D CanAm racing car. And Denny Hulme at the Bathurst racing circuit behind the wheel of a BMW M3 ....an often forgotten McLaren test driver Timmy Mayer, Teddy Mayer's younger brother, also passed away behind the wheel of a Cooper F1 racing car at a racing circuit at Tasmania, Longford ...
It's great that the Kiwis love their McLaren cars, it being their birthplace and all(well, the founder anyway). One of the many things that tie the UK and NZ.
A trip like this to South Africa is truly needed 🙏🏾
Good idea! What other countries should I visit?
Shmee150 CHINA 🇨🇳 😃. I’ve been studying here for 3 years now and I have to say, the supercar scene here is beyond belief!
Definitely! I would love to go there. Only issue is getting the content uploaded on RUclips ;)
If I was a new customer wanting to buy a McLaren and had no bar on money, I would have a bit of trouble deciding between the 720S, 675LT and 570S. All 3 of them are awesome in their own right as cars.
Wow I’m amazed at how that 720 looks in that color. It’s not white but not grey either I really like it.
I’ve never been so excited for each of your videos. I just can’t wait until you try out some Aussie v8s!!
I'll probably never drive either one to compare, but for looks, i prefer the 675 over the 720. Quite a compliment for the instructor to say he was able to relax a bit! I guess your turn in the TT races helped!
Winnipeg Car Life
I like the looks of the 675LT. But, I think the 720S looks even better!
Winnipeg Car Life because you said it you probably never will. Be more positivity and hopeful, say “one day I will be in this or own it” and really try and then one day I bet you will, just don give up from the jump. There’s no point in that
Malik Robertson thanks for the vote of confidence, dude
Winnipeg Car Life you’re welcome brother. I hope all your dreams and aspirations come true, with hard work I know they will!
720LT is coming in late 2019-right?
THank you Shmee for actually driving the 720S on the track unlike some RUclipsrs !
*I'm obsessed with it too, it's as fast as a Mclaren P1!* #Shquad
McLaren are made for racing! 😀👍
I love ❤ New Zealand! 🌏
Hampton downs in reverse, awesome :) cool interview with Dave from TarMcDownunder
Only the drag racing at the start was in reverse direction. All the rest of the track day was in the normal clockwise direction. They cannot run the full track in reverse.
I'm a simple Shmee. I drive a McLaren, I want to buy it
TIM I THOUGHT YOU'D BE IN A 720S BY NOW . BEST SUPER CAR OUT THERE IN MY OPINION .
Mclaren 720s is beutiful, would love to drive one on the track👍😁 thanks for a nice video👍
Thanks Tony Quinn for turning Hampton Downs into what it is today. Been there a bunch of times before the renovations, and it was fun seeing Ferrari F1 cars and superbikes blasting round, but it's much cooler now
Yes definitely should have one as it is a lovey looking car and is really awesome in general

Ooooh! Shmee sitting on the RIGHT side this time! ;-)))
I'd love to see somebody in the RUclips set but a 720s. They are so epic, so dominant, so everything you ever need.. do it Tim. Be the first
Not even going to watch before I comment. YES. You should get one....
When the 720s first came out, I thought it was ugly and that McLaren messed up. Now, however, I think it looks incredible.
That white R34 though
Got to be the 720LT or the Spyder version👍 Get rid of the dated LT. GREAT CONTENT TIM🎬
Just insane!
can't wait for the lambo video haha ;)
McLaren's are the best and you're best at differentiating these machines mate. :) Waiting for you're #720s :)
That angle on the thumbnail 👌🏼
Always thought you would wait until the 720 LT, was released
i want that 720s!!!!!! It is like the new adventador: it never grew on me until the last few months.
1:42 we can clearly see the highlight of the paddock, the r34 gtr
I did notice it also!
If the 720LT comes, I'm sure you'll buy one
I prefer the r34 in the background 😍
Up at 3 AM to catch a new Shmee150 video 😎
Great :D Enjoy
5:49 THIS ONE. Anyone know what the color is?
What a heaven 👊
Tim, have you watched the top gear on track comparison between the 720 and P1 from Chris Harris yet? nearly identical lap times, very impressive from the 720
I think the future Lt version of the 720, has your name on it Tim lol!
I know what you mean Shmee I had the oppotunity to be taken around track in a 720s by a race car driver and the 720s ability is insane.
Love the Glacier White
Simon who was with Tim in 540c, is a touring car and GT3 racer. And his brother is Jaguar Formula E racer Mitch Evans.
Did you check out Shed 47, the McLaren Trust, at the track?
I love this 😍
Love the GT$. Shame I didn't know about this event in advance :(
Mentor me SHMEE150!! this is just #goals
You and Doug demuro are the best
AT eating ice cream cones..!!🍦
5:05, The automated closed captions translated "this thing is so fast" to "this ni**as"....
Holy shit. Had no idea there were this many McLarens in NZ.
YES, YESSSS! FINALLY! Add the 720s to your 'Shmleet' Shmee! Have to say a black satin version would so tasty I'd put it in a sandwich.
Would you happen to know whether the 720s is coming as a gt3?
I have a new Nickname for you Tim ‘Short Shift Shmee ’ 🤣🤣🤣 Hope one day you find the red line mate but by far one of my favourite RUclipsrs.
LOL you don't watch enough of my videos ;)
Shmee150 I never miss a video Tim It’s a part of my evening schedule
Great vid but sad there’s no Wellington visit
I be pleased to see that gt4 in orion purple 😉😉
720s is a potential replacement for your 675LT! Sir Shmee I highly recommend that you buy this car! 720s is one of my DREAM CARS.
That white Nissan Skyline R34 GTR in the background at @2:09 though
Hi Tim
Does the 750LT will replace the 675LT ?
How do you get them to give you a test drive? Does mclaren offer it to everyone?
el yyeal mate keep it up nice video
What a content😍
720S in MSO Amethyst Black would look amazing
What happened to running the new engine in Shmee?
Looks so funny in his helmet.
Maybe APEX will have theirs by the time you get there with them for the track event. As Robert is getting one, it will be a good chance, if its there anyway. Then you can go back to back. Though, I think you should get the LT version when it comes around. You should have enough pull to get one.
Wait for the spyder version. We know you like those spyder versions.
Same here obsessed with 720s and defiantly in liquid titanium
Shmee was the 570 stable at high speeds?
hold on to the LT, and wait for the 765?LT it will be an absolute beast with the tech from the senna and bp23 trickling down to it by then.
Get the next lt version of the 720s. That would be fantastic when that comes out
