The annoying 'phone' interference on this video was not caused by my mobile (which was switched to airplane mode) but thought to be from a 2G tracking device fitted to the vehicle, causing issues with the main camera mic. Live and learn..

Again Harry, great video until 8:40 when the crappy, crappy, shitty, arsey in-car noise starts again. Spend a few quid and do it right or just give the fuck up. Seriously.

Love the videos! At least it covered up the nasty noise from the engine. I would be very disappointed indeed if I spent so much money and got what sounds like a big turbo 4 cylinder with big exhaust sound track.
Was out riding my Daytona and followed a guy drifting one of these up a tight mountain road with flames shooting out the back. The car has a place in my heart now.
Harry's videos are always a treat.
Great vid Harry, where you excel over others is in areas like a walk around focusing on design details, an honesty about what you’re testing, good and bad and lastly, a real sense of what a vehicles like to live with. Keep up the good work. (PS EVO isn’t the same without your leadership mate).
Always a good day when a link for a new Harry's Garage video appears in my inbox. Especially when it's a Supercar :)
Great video, so much more enjoyable than watching someone endlessly going sideways round a race track.

Harry the Legend!
I've always thought that the McLaren badge was poorly designed and unimaginative. The Germans have mostly got it right. BMW, Mercedes and Audi all have simple, elegant and immediately recognisable badges. McLaren should pay someone to make them a proper badge. As far as petrol consumption, you don't have to be an eco-warrior to want a range of more than 165MPH. I used to have an STI and that had a range of not much more than 200 Miles before I had to start looking for a petrol station that sold super. I loved driving the car but I quickly got fed up of the amount of time I spent in or looking for petrol stations.
If there was only one channel to get my car fix, this would be it. Insight and knowledge nobody else can match. Love it.
I have seen several of your video and I really like your style of story telling. Keep your video coming. Thank you.
Speaking of Lotus, it would be great to see an Evora 400 on the channel. :)
Harry, another gem. Yes I was annoyed by the 2G interference but perhaps as a mark of my high expectations of your professionalism, I checked your comments to see you had already explained how it found its way into the sound track. This car looks magic, sounds magic and I enjoyed the ride (albeit without my derriere being toasted) but loved every corner, every climb, every dip. Thanks for what you do.
Always hit like first before the video starts from Harry's Garage!

one of the best videos you have done, Great Job Harry !!
Another excellent video, Harry. Watching your videos makes me feel I know the car as well as I can without actually driving it.
Love the videos! Can’t wait to see more older stuff!
Great video Harry. You are one of us and just really enjoy driving. Thank you
Another excellent real-world review Harry. Thank you for sharing your experience with the McLaren.
Favourite car and person. A treat. Thank you Harry.
I drove the 570s around Rockingham motor speedway on one of those supercar days, best time ever. So nice to drive, even if it was for only a short time. I did drive the 458 and a Huracan, and a 911S. 458, best sound ever, Huracan, really cramped inside and the 911 easy to drive. But out of all the 570s was awesome and I did extra laps, rear wheel drive and great steering. Top video Harry.
Harry you have always your way to make it clear how each car compares to another.
Waiting for a new Harrys Garage to drop is just as exciting as walking into the news agents and seeing a glossy new Evo magazine on the shelf.
just found your channel excellent content ive subscribed keep up the good work !!
Harry I live on a tiny Greek islands now and miss my performance cars. However your videos help keep me sane!
Great review and video as always Harry, thanks.
Harry is the best at this kind of thing. I could listen to him all day. The 570 looks great. It even sounds great to my ears. I wouldn't bother though with most of the crazy extras and it's a poor show that you have to pay extra for reversing cameras when you get them as standard on superminis nowadays. Small grumble but another Harry classic...

Excellent review. So full of knowledge, insight and a proper feel for the car. The contextualizing of McLaren was very interesting.
Another quality Harry video, top notch review as always. (But, also Harry, we need to talk about this audio quality - I think some R&D is in order for the audio system!)
wonderful video Harry. I can feel your slight appreciation from giving this car your full endorsement, hope 2 c u at pebble in August. Do hope u make the trip out.
Do you want to adopt a son.? I'm a bit old but i will wash and polish and exercise your cars like a faithful child.....
haha, they charge extra to paint the calipers silver... so they look like bog standard unpainted calipers you get on your rental car....
Love your videos, love this car, thanks for giving us your opinion on it!
Another excellent review from Harry. I have an R8 V10 plus and this might be a natural progression for me, but i had to fit a Capristo exhaust as i wasn't happy with the sound, so not sure i could get over the appliance tone of the twin turbo.
Always a big thumbs up from me, been a fan and subscriber since the zonda 760RS/EVO diaries video, remember that one?
Good job, Harry, as always!
Great review as usual, but what's going on with the rear lights, not coming on and off together; or is that the camera causing that?
Great review as per. Entirely subjective but I think the 570S is the best looking McLaren and by some margin. I wonder what is stopping a 570 S owner getting the engine chipped? .. the standard car has brakes and suspension rated for a 204mph car, so if you boost it to 650bhp and fit a titanium Akrapovich exhaust you have saved yourself a fortune. ... better yet, get a second hand 540C and boost it to 650bhp. ... it's the same engine in them all.
Excellent review Harry.
I always look out for Harry when I'm in the area - some truly outstanding roads around Cotswolds, though you have to be careful of potholes!!!!
Another great video Harry! Could you do a review of the GTV? Would be great. I drive a 1972 Giulia Super which you're free to have a go in if you want!
Great video Harry. Amazing car.
Well done Harry, awesome video 😊👍🏼
I moved every electronic device out of my room while watching this video... >
Love your videos please do more of the spectre Defender
Love ya work as always Harry. Do you still occasionally do bits for Evo?
Great video. But how can you excuse shocking build quality (shut gaps etc) on a car at this price point when you wouldn't accept it on a skoda?
Most enjoyable, despite your phone trying its hardest to ruin the (otherwise excellent) audio.

Great video as always Harry. Impressive car, stylings a bit dare I say it bland in some areas. Nice to see the GMT getting an outing again!
Great video harry. Anyone know how reliable this 570 long term??
top video as always harry .
Mega review as always sir!
Old boy harry Great video buddy.i love the car and the looks are very modern
Great video Harry. What happens to the press cars longer term? Out to the Retail market? Would you buy one or do you think they will have seen too much abuse? Cheers
Nice video! Not sure whether I'm sold on the look of the 540/570 series - they're interesting, but strangely they don't look like exotics for some reason, esp. the rear view. The Porsche 911s and AMG GTs have a clearer identity to me, as luxury sports cars that are more 'normal'.
@13:55 why are the breaklights in this weird time delay sequence? it seems as if left and right don't blink at the same time somehow?!?

Superb video again Harry - keep up the great work - MANY THANKS... (and of course, ignore the idiots who couldn't read your pinned comment at the top, which tells people who can read, that you were not to blame for the 'phone' interference)!
Harry can you do an update video on the new '18 LR Range Rover Sport SVR? Curious the differences between the previous years and this new one.
Question Harry, have you ever done a valve adjustment on the countach?
Top vid as usual harry.
Looks sensational to drive at speed but is it one of those cars that feels dull when you are cruising?
Love your videos very much - always a treat when I get the notification. However......please....airplane mode on your phone?

What's with the back lights going on and off? Is it an effect of the video or the car? I'm in my mid-forties and don't even drive - or even have that much interest in cars (I'm a cyclist) but I do love these videos Harry. It's a joy to behold your enthusiasm and I love the techy detail even though I don't understand it!
Lovely car, would it be possible for you to test a 540c I would love to see how different that is to this car
No trademark entry shot :( Despite that and the phone interference excellent and to the point review as always, keep it up!
Great review
I couldn't tell what he was saying a few times, so I put on CC and it was so funny. "five six pound full of torso Sibley Walmart murdered or is 132"
Apart from the McL vid which is awesome, it that an original Paris-Dakar Tenere Yamaha in the first few minutes of the video? Drooling all over the place here !
Love it, Harry!
Best motoring channel on KZread
Same car used in the MT Ignition video.. There's a moment when he jumps and scrapes the road, you can now see the fender well is broken
Mr. Harry...you are the best!
They remind me of Noble but massively expensive for a flimsy, home made thing. Bomb proof Porsche everytime. Great vid though H
Great video harry. Having just bought one of these myself, cough, cough, cough. The way to gain access to the engine bay is has follows. Under passenger seat is a plastic panel, lift panel, bit tight but use a screwdriver if you must, does hurt your Pinky's a bit. Retrieve estwing claw hammer, clad in blue leather, £2700 extra, go to rear of vehicle and smash the hell out of the engine cover revealing the gorgeous engine in all its glory. Hope this helps. :-)
The most 'exotic' car I'd driven before this was my STi. Did a track day in the 570s and will be in love forever. Except for the seat adjustment controls, which randomly reassign themselves and are located in a place suggesting they were deliberately hidden for extra 'fun'. But...what a car. *Edit: Also, I'm close to 6'4" and north of 250lbs and I fit - with a helmet. Bonus!
keep up the good work thank you sir
I have never found these cars particularly attractive. But as always, a great video by Harry. Just waiting for the Ferrari 512BBi - that should be interesting...
Your thoughts on the Kawasaki H2 Triple in the background would be interesting.
The blue and the headlights makes it looks like a BRZ
Thanks Harry. Travel and a crashed laptop have meant I'm late to the party. I was disappointed by the interior, which I thought looked cheap and, as you pointed out, the panel gaps aren't the best. Shame, I will be taking this one off the Christmas list ;-). Cheers
The exhaust sound puts me in mind of an early Lotus Esprit. When he lowers the rear screen, the engin note transports me back to the car chase in The Spy Who Loves Me. Just a pity that the car itself leaves me a bit cold. Sorry McClarren, there's just no want-one-factor.
"The karaoke mic on the dash" 8:53 That cracked me up, and then kept on cracking me up. I couldn't un-see it as that.
Hi Harry, is the sound insulation of this car good? It sounded like lots of wind noise coming in. (phone interference no big deal for most normal youtubers)
What's going on with the brake lights? They alternate instead of activating at the same time with same duration. Is it something between LED's and the camera speed?
Sir Harry genuinly LOVES heated seats in cars
Harry, any chance of a review of the new baby Jaguar SUV, the E-Pace
I love these supercar reviews. I think I bought my last car (a whole car) for the price of the paint of the brake calipers on this. Don't get me wrong - if I could, I would. But I can't.
Great Video as ever (annoying phone interference aside). Was it me or did the brake lights some on independently of one another toward the end for the clip?

Whoops just seen another comment saying it's something to do with the LED lights, though they usually flash very fast on camera but at the same time.
It's strange to see both imperial and metric readings in one review. Here in Canada we are now 100% metric, however, I started life with imperial until I was 18 when it was changed to metric. I expect in time our golf courses will change from yards to meters. Thanks for the great review Harry.
Great review as always Harry, very insightful. Cannot see or hear the engine, I think this is a detriment to the car.
Will you be trying out any of the other McLarens? 600LT 720S the new GT maybe would love to see a fresh McLaren video
Well for £200k is a lot for a Mac. I’d rather have the Ferrari Portofino for that. Love the videos Harry. If you want to review my Speciale let me know!
I wonder if a real diff is an option too?
