Chris Harris vs McLaren 765LT - outrageous 750bhp track special tops 200mph! | Top Gear BBC Studios
Ойын-сауық
Expensive, intense and shockingly fast: the McLaren 765LT is no friendly supercar. Chris Harris is kept on his toes by this 750bhp track special with monster racing pedigree that's capable of speeds over 200mph. Definitely too fast for the road - but is it a fair contest when up against the Aston Martin V8 Vantage F1 Edition and the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm in a Top Gear drag race?

@@Robert-Cinque777 Unfortunately, Aston have really let themselves go in terms of total performance in their road cars, especially the last few generations. Yes, they're big, bold and beautiful, and make a beautiful noise, but they are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Their DBS Superleggera still won't beat my stock McLaren 570S Spider. I don't even think it'll beat my 2018 Jaguar F-Type SVR Convertible, except maybe at top speed. Don't get me wrong: I 'love my little 2016 Aston Martin V-8 Vantage GT, but mostly for how it sounds, drives, rides, and looks... but if I want speed, there are better choices in my Garage.

When chris drive the gt3 as the racingdriver he is he has done the comp against the senna before. Senna wasnt in near so fast round the track.
I'm sorry, but the most impressive thing about this episode of Top Gear was Chris coming within _one second_ of Lando Norris's time in that 765LT... after not only had Lando done his lap, but then done some egregious doughnuts afterwards, to cook the tires some more. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Harris could have _beaten_ Norris's time if the laps had been done in reverse order.

You have to spend more? No you don't, Car & Driver just did their 2023 Lightning Lap testing and the C8 Z06 did a lap time within .2 seconds of this very car, and significantly faster than the latest GT3 (2 seconds). And not only is it a LOT cheaper than the McLaren, it is naturally aspirated, and it is also considerably cheaper than the GT3. They are also working on a forced induction version of the Z06 (ZR1 version), and one with the forced induction flat plane crank and an electric drive front thousand plus HP Zora version. That should be competing with hyper cars only for a LOT less money. I watched a video about the production line for the C8 Z06 and they had some right hand drive Z06's being built, so you should start seeing them in the UK and Europe soon.
765LT is simply awesome 👌
It would have been good to have a 911 turbo s in the lineup.

McLaren Speedtail enters the chat
I like Chris Harris so this is why I watched. But for some reason, I’m starting to feel like “the latest super car” is just another number on a piece of paper. The manufacturers better hope and pray the buyers of these cars don’t start to feel like that.
Do I get it right that only Chris is able to handle supercars in the corners properly, and the rest two Top Gear presenters can only drive cars in a straight line?
The 765 LT is the white shark
Chris I know you can drift for the camera, but could you please do a proper lap instead of this showy stuff just once and then sure ŕeturn to the showy stuff. Thanks you do great reviews
