As much as I'd like to drive one and realise the precision that goes into creating these supercars, I really feel that this idea of "creating a sound" is way over the top! Surely in today's world it ought to be more about fuel efficiency and low emissions...
Okay, anybody who upvoted this comment obviously has NEVER heard a 458 revving or actually driving hard in real life, let alone actually sit in one to hear it. The sound is GOD LIKE in real life. Video doesn't do the 458 justice, so NEVER NEVER NEVER compare the 488 with the 458 or the 720s, so NO. McLaren will never overtake Ferrari in sound
legaliciousM you obvious can't read english. he's saying the 488 sound worse than 458 and the 458 is no longer in production so it shouldn't be match up with 720s. the disappointing 488 is the car that is matching up with 720s
ferrari need to take note and learn what innovation and evolution is.This car will break the rules and change the game.actually it already has in every way
Boring muscle car choice of V8 over a V10 or V12 but sounds like THAT? And proper silver rims? FINALLY McLaren you make a real supercar with a proper sound and best choice of colors in and out... This makes a P1 look pathetic, I love it
If we're honest, it sounds a little disingenuous. I know everybody wanted McLarens to sound more like a Ferrari, so y'all did. It sounds just like a 458. That's kind of sad. For me, as a big McLaren fan, the McLaren sound was a P1 roaring through the gears. That deeper clear tone. It was simple yet powerful, and more importantly, genuine. This new car has more pops and whines, and it's still a little unclear. Now I can still hear some of the McLaren sound in there, but it's drifting further to a Ferrari sound. Let's drift a little back with the LT. Everything else about the car is fabulous though. The aesthetic, the performance. This is a car God all the other cars pray to. Now where can I get $300,000?
That's the spirit. They should give some samples for us as a matter of customer quality control or something like that...let's try that excuse, maybe it will work. lol
I love everything but the front end. Sorry. I hate the front end. It should have been an evolution of the styling on the P1 and 650S. The front end on those cars was ICONIC! The 720S's front end looks like an angry little alien insect's face. It just doesn't work.
Okay...I have to admit...the more I look at the car, even the front end, the more I like it. I don't know if I will ever LOVE the front end but it's growing on me. Overall the design looks like the "next step" in supercar styling.
To be frank the old front ends were even worse...just hideous. Still that new one isn't much better. Ruins the otherwise great design..Sure seems to be a pattern with McLarens since the P1.
I think the 720s sound is a bit generic actually. If I was walking on the street and heard a P1 or a 650s I'd know it't a Mclaren by the sound, I's so unique. If I heard a 720s however, I don't think I could make that connection. It's simply not special enough...
Hmmm... that growl... bit of a nice 488 ripoff me thinks lol! Did they really have to? Like with the new "Variable Drift" function (ie Ferrari Side Slip Control). As they say (Oscar Wilde), “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that medioc.... "
Am I the only one who really couldnt give a fuck about sounds? I don't like it when they give so much effort on sound. Sounds like the dumbest thing to me, but hey, whatever sells
![McLaren 720s 342km/h REVIEW on Autobahn [NO SPEED LIMIT]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nat8gkizLuQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Beautiful car and the sound is fantastic. Am I the only one who gets a strong Regera vibe from the rear end? The way it swoops down is very nice
sounds so much better than the 650s!
Balkan88 turbo sound only pagani does it nicely
650S sounds soo much better imo. Soo much more raw and more unique sound. can't believe say it doesnt
Jort 650 sounds like a Vaccuum cleaner in comparison...570 even worse.
kraenk12 570s sound alot less like a vacuum above 5krpm
+McLarenHonda
What do you mean? I hope you don't mean actual F1 cars..they sound terrible as well. Let's hope the new gen is better.
a Ferrari and lambo fan boy, i love this car
holy shit that start up 😍
Addictive sound!
Holy fuck they got the sound spot on, this is the best sounding car for a long long long time
Cottsify * best sounding McLaren
*car
Novemdecillion
This the best sounding car???!
thats the biggest bullshit ever WHAHAHA
Cottsify yeah but carrera GT
M3 lover
whaha in your dreams!
McLaren F1 sound completely detroys this 720S sound. P1 and 650Ssound MUCH better too
Great sound, and not just for a turbo. So many cars focus on loudness but sound so flat and gassy; the AMG GT is a decent example of this.
1:10 😍

With the 488 sounding much worse than 458 you might overtake Ferrari in sound

Robert Smith Maybe Ferrari, but defo not a Lambo
I think you meant to say the 488 because the 458 has one of the best sounding V8
The 488 isn't meant to be loud I believe. It's not naturally aspirated which makes it sound more silent and not as aggressive
legaliciousM you obvious can't read english. he's saying the 488 sound worse than 458 and the 458 is no longer in production so it shouldn't be match up with 720s. the disappointing 488 is the car that is matching up with 720s
Ωραίος Αντρέα!
Not evocative, but purposeful. Exactly what one expects and perhaps wants from McLaren. I like it.😎
Sadly, it sounds much better than the 488.
Γεια σου ρε Ελλαδάρα! :)
Μυαλό ο Ανδρέας μας!
You've put "www." in the url so the link to the website doesn't work
What is this beautiful circuit called?
can someone explain me the mclaren lineup and where does the 720s stand
Juan Velez Super Series (supercar market)
in what track was this filmed?
where is this track?
what's the name?!!
what about the p1 sound?
How is the engineer so young
ferrari need to take note and learn what innovation and evolution is.This car will break the rules and change the game.actually it already has in every way
Why 720S is not All Wheel Drive ???
Sidhant Megh9 why does the ferrari 488 not have all wheel drive?. Because cars like them dont need them
The prototype headlights look better than the "eye sockets" on the finished version.
Can't wait for 770S in 2 yrs with a different front end.
Let's f'in hope so.
Thunderbolt Calgary prefer a different rear end
Let's just wait for the Long Tail version of this car.
sounds like a lambo with armytrixx
Fredrik Bengtsson
whaha not at all.
Just wait till they make the 720lt
Boring muscle car choice of V8 over a V10 or V12 but sounds like THAT? And proper silver rims? FINALLY McLaren you make a real supercar with a proper sound and best choice of colors in and out... This makes a P1 look pathetic, I love it
MINE!
Its got nothing on the 730 S. Only full enchilada fans will understand
You know it's a good sound when you get an Italian to design the exhaust lol
George Ken Incorrect Andrea is Italian. Can't you tell by his heavy accent and name?
Andreas Rousounelos is a Greek name.
giteart You guys are high
I am Greek and I can say with 100% certainty that the name and last name is Greek. He might have been born or raised in italy though, who knows...
He is greek 100%
how did he get that job i wanna work as a NVH engineer too :D
Filippo Hjalmarsson Just work to it, I believe one time you will work at Mclaren.

yes the 650S with Sports exhaust and P1 sound million times better than these new flat, weak sounding models
Totally agree with you. It sound quite generic.
1:11
Yeah, they sound fine...can i have one, please!?
Bona I can't give it a good sound review mabey if they send me one to drive I could give a more accurate statement 😉.
That's the spirit. They should give some samples for us as a matter of customer quality control or something like that...let's try that excuse, maybe it will work. lol
Bona Just tell them it's racists if they don't 😂.

TBH This car is growing on me the more I look at it. I think I found my new dream car! :)

Where is this track? Whats it called?
Looks like Spain or Portugal.
The sound of my voice is not part of my character.
I think the 720s sound is a bit generic actually.
If I was walking on the street and heard a P1 or a 650s I'd know it't a Mclaren by the sound, I's so unique. If I heard a 720s however, I don't think I could make that connection.
It's simply not special enough...
No sound is better than the F1
It wud be such a heck easier with a Na power..but still..a good job managaing engine power effiency and sound togetjer

McLaren should focus on driving if they're going to put turbos on a v8. If you want a good sound you need an AMG v12.

Never trust someone that doesn't take care of their teeth!
Get your F1 engine right!
Sounds too tame. Needs to sound like death!
Huge Disappointment!!!!!!!!
It's not enough to have such a car if you don't have a qualified reseller and workshop to deal with it.
loud ? yes, clear? yes, any special? hell no.

Sounds much like ferrari 458 sepciale
Am I the only one who really couldnt give a fuck about sounds? I don't like it when they give so much effort on sound. Sounds like the dumbest thing to me, but hey, whatever sells
i thought Mclaren didn't care about the sound! copying Ferari! yurbod never better then a ferrari v12.

sound is fucking horrible
Unfortunately, Italian cars are unbeatable in the matter of sound. Ferrari and Lamborghini have the best sounds of all super cars...
CrimsonRider well Ferrari sure failed on the 488
Still sounds shit. V8 turbo sound you have to ask Audi.
