"This is one of the best cars I've ever driven" - Topher, guy who drives a lot of cars.
"One of the best"...
There's others like it👾
Its mine too
like what others are like it. Corvette!?
Different day different car 😏
@@minutewithmitch7609 that nose lift feature is key asf
this is definitely my "if I hit the lotto" car.
Take your dreams into your own hands.
@@RAZGR1Z I like that.
You can drive that bro! Just work hard and stay consistent and don’t ever quit!
@@jcal911 yeah im pretty sure hard work isnt gonna grant you a 300k car unless you have some good luck on your side
@@hasaniqbal233 What will get you a 300k car then? Assuming you don’t come from wealth and never win the lottery. People find a way, don’t limit yourself
My favorite thing about your channel is that you're not afraid to really drive and push the car when you review it. As a viewer it is so entertaining and satisfying.
When you know how to drive, you have the ability to push any car you want.
This really feels like a real life hot wheels car.
Oh and you? You’d be da belle of da ball.
@@caglioso don’t drop the soap
Cold wheels
In person it looks like one too
it sure runs through the gears quick!!
8:23 The amount of grip that thing has is insane! He broke the speed limit going around the bend!
My 21 year old mx5 can do that too
@@JacobCryptoBury lol at 112 km/h? If that 20 year old mx5 doesn't blow up mid turn I'm sure it would handle it just fine.
@@grthorn3461 I've cornered harder than that a 160kmh...
@@JacobCryptoBury damn thats really cool dude
xqc car
The position of your GoPro is perfect! The footage really makes me feel like I’m driving. Almost no TH-camr gets that spot on like you have.
Been following him since he started - it’s taken way too long for him to become this well known since his content is vastly superior to all other similar channels. When he’s the face of of automotive journalism I’ll concede that he’s received the attention he deserves until then in my mind this channel and Chris are underrated.
The Juicer brought me here
and he got the 2022 one
Damn, TheTopher is getting some cool cars. Hope you can get your hands on the 992 Turbo S and GT3 and also the Huracan Evo
Kia Rio: Am I a joke to you
@@parsaesteky kio rio: my goals are beyond your understanding
Sveiks🇱🇻
If there's any modern supercar that is a dream car to me, the 720 is it. I was at a stoplight in my miata n told this guy in a 720 i thought it looked sweet with the onyx black paint n did a pull for me. Thing pulled like a jet it was unreal hahaha
its my dream car too, kinda motivates me to do my best at school lol. in my country you have different "difficulty levels" at high school and the higher your level is the higher your chances are at a good job. you have like 3 classes of each of these "levels" in the same year. i'm doing VWO, which is the highest and it's pretty hard tbh, but with enough motivation it really pays off eventually. i know that i can get a supercar like the 720 if i do my best and get a great well paying job.
@@Bearical it’s very rare to become rich through school and employers, much easier with your own business
@@Whito doctor
@@SpinachDaily its super stressful tho
"Get a great well paying job" 😂 goodluck bro
Glad to see reviews still popping up on this stellar supercar! with all the new ones coming out, this beast set the bar High and will always remain something special.
Every single time you accelerate, just watching it alone puts smile on my face. Can’t imagine how much fun you had with this beast of a car. Hands down one of the best reviews on this channel so far. Hope to see more supercars like this.
Mans was seriously happy with this car. You can hear it in his voice
Hmm.. sensing a video that may blow up! Always quality content Chris, thank you!
Helluva McLaren to drive as your first one. That's how you know you've made it!
This is maybe the best supercar review I've seen recently: POV+biaural audio really reconstruct the experience. Plus camera usually disguise the speed, but I can feel the pace of the car/driving in my stomach behind the screen.
I love how when he hits over 100 he blurs the speed out lol 😂😂
Congrats on getting the chance to drive this, you’re killing it!
I appreciate the way you captured it, with headphones on I get a pretty good impression of all the cool induction sounds and cracks on downshifts!
Track portion was crazy
Man it makes me smile every time watching him drive this thing, a pure beast! 🏎💨
Well hey my son, that was quite a ride!
You're really his dad ?
@@raceboy9517 don't think so lol
@@Agent-jf1no how do you know?
@@Agent-jf1no oh wait they probably just have the same back never mind🙄😂😂😂
@@raceboy9517 yeah lol
The cracks and bangs on the track… incredible!
Literally the best POV car video out there. You took her for a real ride.
This was a very good review 👍 it was in depth in pretty much everything keep up the good work 👌.
One of my dream cars… congratulations on getting one on the channel
You are slowly becoming my one of my favorite car reviewer and that's saying a lot! keep it up homie!
This might be the best car review on TH-cam
Our juicer's new car Pagman, what a beautyyy. Congrats felix!! daaamn.
No license PepeLaugh
@@maur7432 didnt u see his INCREDIBLE maneuvering skills in horizon 5?? he's an IMMACULATE DRIVER
i think i loved that car. it's amazing, like a dream car.
Saw one of these at the beach about a month ago, such a beautiful car!!
So simple and classy, yet comforting. Would be an honor to own this.
Wow, great stuff!! So appreciative of Mclaren for still running hydraulic steering in their cars. Very few companies have properly figured out EPS (Porsche’s one), but Mclaren knows the importance of good steering feel. Also, the performance is just insane on this thing.
Love the power oversteering out of the corners on track!! Best feeling on four wheels.
Your control on the track was incredible. The steering wheel was trying to do CIRCLES and you never lost control once.
I was lucky enough to just sit in one of these and I was fascinated. The smell, the fit, the style. I thought about it for a week straight. It's something really special. Awesome review as always..
That infotainment and interior is laid out amazing !! What an amazing car. Nicely done on the review / video
What an awesome review. So glad I found this channel. This is what I want to see. POV of a cool car. Really entertaining.
I've never been a car enthusiast since I've only ever driven hoopties or 4 cylinder gas savers.. but I stumbled upon your page a couple weeks ago and have been addicted to watching you drive and give your opinion on a crazy amount of cars. I am in college right now but it's safe to say once I graduate and find a better job, I am making it my mission to find a car that is fun to drive with a little bit of speed. Luckily I have your channel so I can get a good idea of what I want. Right now I am leaning towards a '22 si. Thanks man keep it going!
get a mustang
Man what a great review and you have some serious driving skills. Thanks for sharing.
the 720s is my absolute favourite car, loved this video so much, gave me a huge huge smile. Subscribed, love the content
I’ve been waiting for this for a full 2 years
The respect you have for this car by clicking your shoes to get dirt out every time you get in the car is a testimony to how gorgeous this car is.
this man just put 720S, civic type R, corvette, GT3 in the same sentence as a thrilling car thats very practical and easy to drive. amazing. you are a true car guy my man. too many fanboys that will only keep cars in categories that they choose. they never leave what they love nor understand or care to understand other amazing cars out there. so glad you're not one of them.
You truly have one of the best jobs ever! Kudos Topher!
prettiest mclaren ever imo. above the p1.
Check out the 765S
@@AthwalJag 765LT*
P1
The P1 is the sexiest car ever made IMO, but this one do be lookin pretty nice
@@AthwalJag 765s is a sport bike. Prob meant 765LT
Wow this was seriously so cool to see. Awesome video! The acceleration on this freaking beast! Definitely have to have a grip behind the wheel
Man this by far has to be the most beautiful car I've seen the interior is unlike anything else
Yessss you finally drove one of the exotics.
Good for you man, I'm a mopar person until I die but I've always liked McLaren's if I ever hit the lottery it would for sure be my first purchase
Out of all the videos on this car, this one is by far the best!
Amazing review with an amazing car, well done!
any juicers?
I really like this car. I know McLaren gets a lot of flack on different levels. However, they really should get credit for their innovation. I hope one day to be able to drive one. Thank you so much for this review! Looking forward to a 765LT review. That car is insane!
love your videos my man! Keep up the good work!
The pops are amazing i now see why so many people love mclaren
I like the blurring of the speedometer when you open it up a bit on freeway ramps, etc. Bonkers!
You seriously have thee dream job!
Your channel is going up!!! Glad to be here for the ride.
I love the mclaren 720 like its my fav car not even lying
One of my dream cars still 😌 the styling is so elegant and everything about it is soooo good 🤤
Hopefully you get it buddy
@TheTopher You're videos are great, the pov quality feels me like I been onboard of that 720s. The natural sound of acceleration with turbo spools allows me having an idea of the throttle capability.
Wow this made me set new goals lol This was the best Supercar POV ever.
That was the best video I have ever seen in my lifetime! Dream car amazing video!
Luv it! I know it’s a totally different class then Nsx( price ) but what are your thoughts in terms of Nsx for its price, vs this for its price? Both daily driver friendly, both unique, …interiors room?and who has better stereo? Nsx is a big stretch for me, and this impossible…but could you contrast thoughts in various modes….thanks again.
Loving the occasional speed indicator blur ;)
Topher’s reviews are just so enjoyable
The rack and pinion steering just makes all the difference!
I had the pleasure of racing one of these on the street, incredible how they continue to pull even after 130. Its the only thing so far to have beaten me
What do you drive?
What's it like knowing you can get any woman you want?
I like how you push it to the limits. Acouple times I thought you were gonna lose it lol.
I watch this video religiously once a week.
The wing popping up was so satisfying
What a freaking gorgeous, amazing car….
Bruh u can see the violent shaking of the wheels force feedback so clearly on that first onramp pull 😳
Holy shit dude.
I grew up around Northville and live in Ann Arbor now. I was NOT expecting to see the roads I grew up driving / still drive every day on a random video I clicked on!
Small world, that's insane! I'm literally know all the places in this video like the back of my hand. good to see some michigan fam out here! Made my day!
best review i have ever seen - guy who watched a lot of reviews
Upshifting before passing those cars is ultimate respect
Is this what the juicer is getting?
Had mine for 4 years (2018 model) and just got the base model with not too much added on. Only had one issue with it where the HUD kept coming up with a message telling me to take the car back to the dealers after only about 1500kms which McLaren were able to fix. Been brilliant ever since.
Like someone in the comments mentioned. Your GoPro is so satisfyingly placed that it gives the true feel for a viewer. Hell I can even see in the rear view mirror. Crazy stuff.
God damn those downshifts around the 20 minute mark were CRISP
murica f... yeah. That is Graziano/Dana transmission connected to nissan derived engine. So very British car ;)
the number-by-number climbing on the speedo is actually a huge thing that i miss quite a bit - dodge does it as well and I never really thought much of it until I bought my scat pack widebody, and now that I'm out of that and back into an audi, I kind of miss it. Something super satisfying about it.
Told us what kind of dodge you drove but not what Audi
@@M5Ak stage 2 RS3
7:25 when he revs it, my heart sank.. oh god its so amazing! 🤩
Wow great job handling that beast on the track!
Dream dream supercar! I'd take this over a Aventador, 488 or any other supercar.
I found myself squealing like a school girl just watching you take that entrance and exit ramps! Those sounds and that speed and those shifts!
I love seeing the road signs of your drives, because I grew up in Saline, Michigan (which is very close to Ann Arbor). Your channel is awesome.
So useful thanks for your review on this monster!
I would buy this car just off of this review!
God, please somehow someway get this car into my life 🙏🏼
make it happen
Yes you have to make it happen. For example im 25 and have 4000 pounds salary. Each month i spend like 2000 pounds so im left with 2000 per month. Per year its 24000 pound. And if i save up 10 years ill be 35 and have 240000 pounds. 240000 pounds is 331000 dollars.Like i said you make it happen
This is a alien spaceship, it looks crazy 🔥
By far my fav TH-cam channel
"so if you're in comfort mode, just relaxing, want to commute to work [...]"
My friend, whoever affords this kind of car, does not do the whole "commute to work" part.
Lovely review, as always.
P.S. Nice short-shifting on the track.
I do
16:00 best
The curves make this McLaren look so suave!
that baby blue color goes so well with the 720s. If I had a dream car, it would be this one for sure.
xQc just bought one of these. PogU
Any juicers here?
yes
Seriously one of my dream cars
My favorite hobby, watching g things I can’t afford 😊
Nice piece here, glad my trade portfolio is growing. Getting this baby soon
