Is the McLaren 750S that different from the 720S ? [Road and Track Test] - 4K
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Is the McLaren 750S that different from the 720S. Is it just a case of more power ? Well I got to drive the McLaren 750S Spider back to back with the McLaren 750S Coupé on the road and on the track. I found the results fascinating !

All the advantages of the 765LT and 720S in the same car. And 150kg lighter than a 296 GTB.

Looks like Harry Metcalfe was eager to get in the driving seat. Nice cameo from Harry😂😂. It looks like an awesome bit of kit that 750s!!

I can't believe how effortless that looked, minimal shaking for driver and instructor everywhere and then 'that was 160' gets casually mentioned. No talking necessary, what a car, cheers

It is incredibly rapid 👌
Really loved the video showing what a tremendous performance car this is. But and it’s a big but this manufacturer has been tarnished by very poor reliability, not helped by some under performing dealerships, and the resulting terrible residual values. Hopefully McLaren’s new warranty policy will now support their customers and as long as their reliability vastly improves this car will become much more desirable. We all want McLaren to do well so let’s keep our fingers crossed but only time will tell !
That is a wonderful colour. I remember having a passenger ride in the 720s, amazing. That 750s is a magnificent design
Peter, did you notice that Harry Metcalfe did a small cameo appearance over your right shoulder when you were in the pits, when your door was open on the McLaren, just before the end of another excellent video.

Had the great pleasure to be taken out in a McLaren a couple of years ago, they are amazing cars and I love them to bits. (I'd probably get my weekly shop in that one!).
Looking at the steering wriggle, it’s like a Lotus for feel. This could be my dream car. V8 infotainment system, brilliant. Also great driving, so smooth.

Hi Ped McLaren has always been a favourite in this household. Going back to the 90’s when the F1 was a sight to behold in the Park Lane showroom. I promised Mrs P if she wanted to spoil me we would never lose money.(obviously I was overlooking the small matter of purchase price & servicing) However I was right about the future investment value. Fast forward to Goodwood when the 12C was shown for the first time. Again loved that car. The current cars are amazing and still outside my budget😥 However thanks for sharing, I am “slightly” envious.😉
Thats the one! In that blue , what a privilege to drive those, thanks for sharing Peter, just off to buy some scratchcards 😊

both is the best key of mclaren with out 720s never be others supercar or any 750s the 720s is key of mclaren we all know and both car is legend so this 750s have mix DNA by 2 models not only by 720s ok is first 720s sec 765 lt and now combine make magic of 750s beast.
So the big question, now they seem very reasonable on the used market at mo, almost obtainable! (With Man maths! )same as me, would you change your 718 boxter for a 720s spider? Still bit jumpy about depreciation and bits breaking but oh wow! what cars!

You must have to pinch yourself sometimes. That is a car on a whole different level to what us mere mortals get to drive. I can't really get my head round that kind of power after driving my JCW with 230ps to the i-Pace with 400ps and that car is twice that. Bonkers is what springs to mind and all the noises of the V8 and the downshifts just adds to the theater. What a car.
