car "enthusiasts" on RUclips: "I've taken this car out of consideration because it's not available with a manual. I'll stick with my manual 2003 Corolla."
I have to agree. I was looking at 911’s but the only one that you can get is the GT3 and I could not get one configured the way I wanted for anything under 176,000.00. So I settled ordering a Mach 1 Handling Package that will be redesigned and get a Whipple. Keep doing what your doing Joe. I love your videos.
As much as I appreciate you reviewing the more mundane, " everyman" cars, I must confess that I especially looking forward to reviews like this. This is perhaps one of the best parts about this channel, you don't discriminate. God, I love the GT cars!
The McLaren GT might just be one of the best daily supercars. An interesting comparison would be between the McLaren GT and Porsche 911 Turbo S, as the 911 offers the same level of supercar performance and many claim that the 911 Turbo S is the ultimate daily supercar. It would be a tough choice between the two, but even though the 911 Turbo S is faster, I just can't resist that flat plane crank V8 engine in the McLaren.
Whoever daily drive this car must be the luckiest guy on earth! It's a gorgeous looking car that's why it's hard to daily drive this without gathering much attention. I would personally go with a used McLaren Lp4-12c or a corvette if I just want to have fun without worrying about my car.
Was thinking the same thing. I’d probably go with the Turbo S just because I’ve been a 911 fan since I was a kid. But V8 with scissor doors would be very tempting
IMHO beyond a certain point, extra speed is not usable and just no longer matters. The GT is WAY better looking than the Turbo S, plus it comes with those unique dihedral doors 🙂
The aluminum panel you “zonked” over the glove box…is an option. You can get that with backlighting and things like the McLaren logo and writing on it.
By the way, the "random" aluminum strip next to the glove box actually says McLaren and lights up in different colors but only is available on the highest spec. For the top glass, there is a button that can dim so that less sun light can get through.
Hey, i love your commentary during reviews lol. One thing to mention as far as this model goes, there is a button to change the transparency for the sunroof, so it wont bother you as much
The GT is like the forgotten McLaren which I think is a pity because it's one of the prettiest cars they make. I'd definitely consider one if I could afford one. Nice work Joe, and great job as usual Lori!
Very cool car! The only negative I have heard on this one is the ride quality is firmer so if you are looking for a soft GT car, look elsewhere. McLaren is also still battling their reputation for poor quality control. I hope they have fixed that because it is a requirement in this class of car.
@@investigativereports1622 what are 12 years old triggered over a comment. go away. While I’m at it the GT will tank in value compared to the other two
You're absolutely right about those doors. After pulling up at a gas station (570S Spider), a woman pulled up in an SUV and complimented me on the car. As I entered the gas station building, the teller said "Nice Ferrari!".🙄
McClaren has continued to improve the usability of their cars, and also their production numbers are steadily growing. I hope they continue this trend, because as their production numbers go up, eventually their prices can come down to a more attainable level.
I've been down with y'all for years. I really like the McLaren video. Joe your hilarious and your camera woman is always on point . Keep up the good work.....LOVE YALL CHILLWILL!!!!!
Raiti you’ve got these reviews down to a science. Fun technique drive experience and that oh so sweet on throttle. I was actually surprised to see Mclaren build a true GT car when everything else Is absolutely crazy supercar with a nice interior yet not the luxury which has been added to this GT.
Joe's happy face SAYS it all! Gotta win the lottery for this one for sure......great review and I especially enjoy the history of the subject car... wonderful job Lori - this one looked tough.....
The C8 corvette rear was designed by a group of guys stuck in the 80s era... Camaro, firebird. did I mention those designers Don't have elbows and can only draw straight lines 😅😂
Great on-throttle action!! It’s blue towel season in Florida!! Gotta have the towel ready when you’re reviewing McLarens and other 600 hp plus supercars. Love the videos!!
Expensive "auxiliary twinkie net" as Joe stated for sure. Man, I think if I had to choose in the supercar category, I'd have to go with the Porsche so I could still get my manual transmission (in some cases) and can actually see the engine, unlike the Mclaren. 2nd pick for the same price point, I'd have to go with the Acura NSX for styling and Honda's true reliability. Thanks Joe and Lori for another great Vlog!
Love to see a long term review from you, maybe even your own personal cars and more serious you. Glad to see McLaren bring this to market, sure is sexy grand tourer
This is such a beautiful car love the design, the sound, the speed, the color selection inside and out and sparkles. Oh yeah and the practicality lol 😆 I love it. Definitely in its own lane compared to the Aston and others. No comparison 😄❤
EVs should be required for the high volume sellers. Cars at this level should be exempt from that requirement. I don’t care what they say, the sound on a car like this is part of its personality.
Wow freakishly nice car awesome review Raiti’s rides as well as the camerawork from Lori the champ Always remember these words ON THROTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One word.... WOW. Great work McLaren. Those rims aren't my favorite though Joe. But I know it's not about the tech but for 256,000 you can give us a little bit bigger infotainment screen, just saying, but I get it. Lori great job as always I know you had a challenge with those vertical door panels! Lol. Raitis Rides first!
I didn’t come here to compare this to the C8, but the more you did the more I realized the Corvette is better in pretty much every way except brand name.
Ahh!! The mighty McLaren love every model but this one it's so sharp no cheap materials learn from this GM, Ford!! Pure simple luxury design not to flashing like Aston Martin, Bentley or Rolls-Royce. Good review raiti's 👍!!!
Joe you make awesome video with full details I love it 😀 😍 ❤ but giving up to the man behind that camera though.... the smooth in and out movement 👌 😎 love you camera man
If you had $250,000 plus in your pocket, would you buy one of these, Joe? Surely, the dealership would throw in a free Twinkie (and maybe even a Zagnut).
nice review. anyone having issues with brake noise? i do not see any mention of brake issues anywhere. my 2022 GT makes harsh groaning noise which mclaren says is normal noise. a squeal here and there us fine but sounding like a UPS truck just pulled up is nuts
A very special review indeed but RUclips won't allow me to like this awesome piece of work of a video more than once so here's a few more. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks again for sharing Team Raiti.
I’d take this over an mclaren tbh. Just like the mix and how u compared it to Bentley and Aston. Those imo depending are more lux. And I like this because it leans more to the super car style. Performance and I’ll just have to take ur word which I do on ride quality

also, the Mclaren is just plain cooler, if i'm spending $200k the cool factor for me is very big. 911s are a dime a dozen, mclarens not so much

I love the way n/a engines sound, but my goodness those turbos unwinding was magical
Might be the best supercar bargain on the market. Looks, luxury and performance plus the noises from that V8. Perfection
Bargain LMAO

what i love is that it doesnt stand out like the other mclarens but still just as powerful. its a "low key" supercar like the R8 and nsx.
So very true!
But will be in at the dealer often not like the NSX and R8
@@paladin3116 WRONG!!!!!! You must be a jelous HATER!
Not So Low key. I get too much attention in this its actually alarming. Came out of store the other day with around 15 guys surrounding it. CRAZY!!

Over the years McLaren has become my second favorite car brand right after Porsche
Their performance and stylish designs are superb!
Another great car made in Great Britain we haven’t lost our touch
This is so very true!

This seemed too high priced until he got to the auxiliary Twinkie net. Once I saw that I was sold.
TO THE VERTICAL DOOR PANEL 😂
That sound does it for me! V8 Twin Turbo, that's my kind of party Joe!
This sounds absolutely wicked! I was wondering if this car feels faster than everything else you have tested ??

Thanks brother! I am so glad that I could share it with you!

One of my fav supercars right now. As usual you eloquently reviewed it! Also, big shout out to your wife for being such a great camera girl!

Joe's happy face SAYS it all! Gotta win the lottery for this one for sure......great review and I especially enjoy the history of the subject car... wonderful job Lori - this one looked tough.....
That car DEFINITELY moves your soul!!!! THANKS for bringing it!!!! That’ll be my dream super car….the color and EVERYTHING …I’ll take it!!!!!!!!
What a beauty! The auxillary twinkie holder is a big plus!
I appreciate videos like this, best of both worlds.
That was great - nice to see a "dream car" from time to time. ..hope you let the Pinellas Park PD know what you were doing. Great job.
I love those wheels with that colour. Beautiful spec
Joe, imagine Toyota use this exhaust on the GR Corolla! 👹
I like the way that you think!
It's perfect Joe. Great review. More of this!

That camera view is on point Joe! Great on throttle 👍
Riff Raff has this car, it’s called the Lilac Lightning!
Getting one of these wrapped soon. So stoked!
5:39 i like the way the front end has kind of a Mako shark look, from the side anyway
I like the way that think!
Such a breathtaking machine. McLarens are beautiful and insane too

I can only imagine. Only addition I would want is the flame throwing exhaust.
Now we are talking Toby!
Nice Body Line. The Nicest Mac Laren Car Design Yet
I agree the center console needs to be done in matte carbon not gloss black.
That car is super nice in person I’ve seen a couple so far, 1 thing I’d do is modify the exhaust so it’s even more engaging
You are so very right about that Alex!

Really clean classic design, but nothing will ever top the beast that was the P1.
That was Awesome !! I can not believe how it accelerated
I love your raiti
Thanks for the support Mack!
Never clicked on a video so fast! love the videos man these reviews are my only entertainment lol
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
I feel like I just watched a QVC channel McLaren sales pitch. I kept pulling my credit card out of my wallet for some reason.
That aluminum strip on the passenger side dash does light up and say McLaren, it just has to be in the dark to see it.
You were having too much fun hahaha
Keep the hot rides coming, I can see you driving this🚗🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man you got it!
This is one of those "Just write me the damn speeding ticket and I'll be on my way" cars.
You better believe it David!
Lol.
i cant start my day without watching your video.
This is a great, great vehicle. I'm not usually much of a fan of McLarens but if my lotto numbers come up, I'm going to go looking for one of these.
Looks verrryy modern and updated stylingggh
i love that color. It's almost like Fords Kona Blue..Metalic blue
I like the bright sunlit interior. 👍
Nice to see you reviewing drool cars Mr. Raiti!
The blue towel makes an appearance! You know it’s serious when Joe brings it!
Wow! That looks 🔥
Brush aluminum cover on the passenger dash. Lights up with ambient lighting says McLaren

Lori great job as always I know you had a challenge with those vertical door panels! Lol. Raitis Rides first!
People complain Turbo-charged engines don't sound good (which I agree for the most part), but thus engine sounds great!
For the price point, you should have compared this to the NSX!
Really would have liked to hear that comparison ..
I’ll simplify it for you! I’m going NSX Type S.
What a beast! I’ll love the color in red 🫣🔥
Wow! What a beast! That exhaust was 🤌🏼
I didn’t come here to compare this to the C8, but the more you did the more I realized the Corvette is better in pretty much every way except brand name.
Personally my favorite model from McLaren is the Senna. This one is great as well.
Would be nice to have one of each! LOL
