They BOUGHT the FIRST New McLaren GT!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The brand new McLaren GT is the latest addition to the Auto Vivendi Clubhouse! They've taken delivery of one of the first, if not the very first, new GT in the UK to add to the fleet so let's check out all of the cars on display and then go out for a drive in the McLaren GT too.
I'm joined by my friend Craig from Auto Vivendi, who founded Vmax200 before the two companies joined. After seeing they took delivery of the new McLaren GT and having not been able to film with it properly before, it seemed the perfect opportunity to head over and catch up, plus find out a little more about it.
The McLaren GT is effectively a more luxurious angle on the supercar for grand touring; competing with the likes of the Aston DB11 and Bentley Conti GT. In this case it retains the familiar 4.0l TT V8 mid-engine layout with a carbon tub and 7spd dual clutch but with a softer setup, more luxurious materials and a much larger luggage space that typically found in such a car. Producing 620hp and 630nm, it's no slouch with a 0-200km/h (124mph) time of just 9.0 seconds.
Auto Vivendi operate a supercar club with a gallery of amazing cars on display including their McLaren Senna and Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake amongst plenty of others like the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, Aston Martin DBS and McLaren 720S. They also run the AVmax200 events where in the past I have frequently attended and shot many videos you may have seen on the channel!
After catching up with Craig and pulling the covers back from the Zagato, let's go out for a quick run in the McLaren GT to run through some of the features and see how it stacks up as a 'daily driver' supercar and what it might be like on a long run.

Auto Vivendi are one of the very first to take delivery of the new McLaren GT so I had to pop over and check it out! After admiring their amazing collection and Clubhouse we catch up with my friend Craig to take out the GT and see what it's about. Are you a fan? Thanks to AV instagram.com/auto_vivendi

Love your channel Tim. Been following from not quite the beginning, but probably 8 years. Looking forward to you getting the private storage. It will be awesome I'm sure. Btw, do you have a list of all your car purchases since you started 10 years ago? I've never seen it, if you have published, but would be awesome to view "The List." Happy Holidays!

Tim, in all your videos where there is no loud engine sound there is an annoying background noise, similar to a ventilation system. I reckon it must come from the camera itself. It's difficult to ignore it once you hear it. Do you think you can do something about that?

Exactly, and that is one thing Schmee does not do. to him, cars are a short range transportation appliance or a track toy. Even in the USA recently, he did not drive his Ford GT to any destination that was more than 100 miles away, nor did he take any cross country trips. I think he thought it too boring. So he flew and had the car trucked. WTF? An attitude of a Prius or Tesla owner. This is where Schmee really strikes out as an automotive journalist. They might as well be Hummel figurines to him. They are collector's items to him, not sources of open road touring joy. Freude am Fahren? For Schmee it is the Joy of Looking Cute.

@@maxnix346 he explained why he didn't drive cross country in the GT and towed the car from City to city. The mileage would be stacking up stupidly and hurting the value, plus the not so practical fuel tank in the gt, no luggage space and having to carry his girlfriend + luggage for 2 people.

Shmee I look forward to your videos. Thanks the work you do. I love cars and you get me that much closer to the ones I love.
Shmee I approve of the painting on the wall at. 19:53!
Wasn’t the title “ I bought the first McLaren GT” 🤔
Hello Shmee! Amazing content as always, thank you for all of your reviews. The GT is amazing piece of machinery. I love skiing and I really enjoyed watching the AMG GTR packed for a ski trip. I haven't seen anywhere is the luggage compartment of the GT actually able to accommodate the ski equipment of two people. I think it will be really interesting to see :) Keep up the great work!

Intresting engine note .compaired to the other models in the range
I've been waiting to see some real world driving of the new GT. Hopefully you can go back once it's broken in and you can do some more spirited driving to see how it responds.
Love your videos shmee! 🤚🏼
that rear hatch luggage area over the engine is smart engineering. -sublime. elegant with a real aspiration of glory after the chorus you get the tenor of her.
Who else thought the Senna at the end was on fire?
Would love to see you two review some other cars in the future
The layout of this place reminds me a little of Alastair's. Very, very cool
Always like too make a cuppa and watch these videos!
Nice video love the McLaren GT. Shmee are you getting one.
I am sure your taking notes for when you do your own garage looking forward to it.

I was looking at the cars by the marvel wall and thought how much effort it would be to get them out to drive!
Can’t wait for your review on the new Maclaren 620 Pro
That graffiti as an accent wall to go along with all of the different color cars is such a fantastic idea. With your collection having multiple colors, are you considering having an accent wall like that? Maybe you could do a collage with photos of some of the places you've traveled to that you're most fond of. For example, skyline views of the UAE, various tracks you've been to, car events in other countries, and maybe some of the more notable scenery from different parts of Europe would be pretty cool. You could even do the accent wall in black and white. Either way, I imagine that your garage is going to be a pretty cool place and just think, one day an up and coming KZreadr will be contacting you so they can tour your collection to use as content.
Very efficient and quiet car!

That Senna’s spec is clean!
Hi Shmee, it's worth a look at Harry Metcalf's drive from the UK to St Tropez in the McLaren GT back on 5th Dec, he really rated it as a true GT. Regards.
Taming wild beasts like McLaren has done here brings a buyer who wants a McLaren but does not want to look/sound like he/she is Racing. Subtlety is not lost on the beauty of the design, she is still a Beast just more refined. The rear storage looks great for hanging clothes bags.
I’m never negative .. but the glue and ripples on the passenger side dash at 7;42 would drive me insane ... lovely car though. Can’t drag me out of Astons but still a lovely thing.
We need a Shmee and 44Teeth video.
Beautiful car 😍🔥
The button to open the rear and thư front of the GT is on the same button. The half lètr open the front and the half right open rear
Sweet showroom but,looks a git to get out a car from the rear. It's a bit narrow to park them on both sides.
Will there be another Christmas supercar delivery?

Hell look out, that Senna and Roller are on fire 😂😂😂😂

If you are buying your first mid engine super car you might as well buy that one. It will be a rocket performance and you can take it anywhere.
Mclaren gt’s have been delivered for a few months in the US
Beautiful car
Shmee sei fantastico!
I really like the new display.
GT with the AP. Levels of wealth.
Wonder if the GT will have the quality issues all the other owners complain about...check engine, pieces falling off on the interior, etc. Been hearing about that a lot lately, that’s why ss717 sold his new 600LT.
Man really said 21st car this year with chest - rich rich 😂😂
Man you are awesome.
I saw the GT a week ago in Autoworld Brussels. Does that means I saw a car earlier than Shmee did? 😯
Nice AP
If you has the opportunity to buy the old 675LT back again, would you? Would look so sick beside the Senna💙
Not sure it's the first one... Black one rolling down Brentwood High Street on Thursday
luv it luv it wish i was a footballer instead of working for the council xx
Congrats
The Elva has come to London, when you will meet her hahaha
I had a little heart attack when I read the title...
Wow, such a late delivery in the UK. They have been here in the US for over 2 months already!
McLaren are really shaking up the SUPERcar world with leading edge design and engineering. Makes Lambo and Ferrari latest offerings look so out of date already eg F8 Tributo = a facelifted 10 year old 458. The pick of the McLaren bunch is still the 675LT spider for me though especially in Napier green
