- Yes, it’s another new McLaren supercar that looks… exactly like the old McLaren supercar. But the idea with the new 750S isn’t to blow the poor old 720S into the middle of last week. No, the game plan here is to take what was already one of the very finest supercars on sale and fine-tune its foibles. So there’s a little more power from the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 here. And a little more bandwidth in the suspension there. More downforce. Less weight. But none of that matters. What’s crucial is that McLaren ups the fit and finish, irons out the foibles, and turns its brilliantly useable supercar into something you’d really fancy daily driving - even though it’s got more power than a P1 (minus the electric).
A tricky mixture to concoct. Top Gear magazine’s Ollie Kew has driven the 750S coupe on track and the Spider on the road to see if the British Ferrari rival has pulled it off.

I've always loved the looks, sound & terrifying speed of the Mclaren cars but there's very little discernible difference between the now 750S & existing 765LT. The performance numbers between these two are almost identical while the 765LT is 30 plus thousand more. I would take either one in a heartbeat, but I think they're too similar. Just my opinion.
Disagree.
a 765LT is more focused, more raw.
A 765LT will be better for trackdays, or a Sunday blast or an Alpine pass
but not great for daily use and lacking some comfort or long road trips.
However
The 750S is useable day to day
Takes everything that the 720S did well but removes its flaws.
You could do anything in this and be happy (or so they say) even the aforementioned trackdays/blasts/Alpine passes but it won't be quite as good on those as 765, but will still be great.
@@th3b0untyhunter I actually agree with much of what you said, and a good comparison would be the 911 GT3 & GT3RS. When you look at these two Porsches, there are noticeable differences between both iterations, even for those who aren't the biggest gearheads. Looking at the 750S & the 765LT, it's hard to distinguish them if you don't have the well-trained eye. It's why I really love the Senna. it's as raw a track car as they come, and looks like nothing else McLaren makes. I appreciate your response and point of view.
@VK6AB- is anyone saying otherwise ?
But the fact is that little changes can make a big difference - and pretty much every person who has driven the 750S says its much improved.
Odd though that no one whinges when Porsche bring out a .2 version of a GT3 or GT3 RS
This isn't a new version of a gt3 but a new car that looks just like the other 2.
@alexcepile1420 and so is a .2 version of a gt3
991.1 GT3 and 991.2 GT3 look virtually the same.
Just a few changes, mostly under the skin but it drives better.
Same situation here
I'm happy that the 750 is just a facelift and not a whole new car. The design still looks futuristic after 6 years and it's still one of the most usable and compelling packages on the market
100% 👍 this will also make the vehicle hold its value for longer.
Estoril is a great circuit, I just wish they upgraded it to a standard that major championships can race at. It dropped off the MotoGP calendar way back in 2012 due to lack of investment in track facilities, basically falling into disrepair. Once Portimao's Algarve circuit was completed, that was the end for Estoril.
There is only one thing they need to improve, and that is reliability
That and crippling depreciation, although not sure how they would quickly do that..
Build quality aswell they fall apart after 6 months
People who never own a McLean love to make that false assertion
@@nkululekomndaweni they’re great cars, but McLaren does the bare minimum.
I have a 720S. I actually really like the folding display. The rear of 750 is nicer than 720. It does lose a LOT of value but you get a lot for your money. I am getting a EVO, which is much less in may ways but still the same price.
The way they've managed to restyle it whilst still keeping it exactly the same is amazing
More Super Car manufacturers need to do this. Take their pinnacle and tweak it to perfection.
I did not know top gear was part of the mclaren sales team… its getting hard getting a true and honest review these days
Just watch my video on the 750 instead 👀
You’ve obviously never driven a McLaren.
I have driven a 720S on a paid car tour. And it was the most insane mental car I've ever driven. I drove the Ferrari f8 after the 720S and the Ferrari felt like I was driving smth normal. But that McLaren, it feels like it's out of this world. Especially the power, chassis, looks and the handling it was next level. Granted it wasnt put together with the most care but still a surreal experience
I used to be a Mclaren hater. Then I got to ride in a 900ish HP 720s. Haven't stopped thinking about it sense. Amazing car.
McLaren have obviously been watching Tavarish and decided to beat him to the 'what if the P1 didn't have a hybrid system'
Did they improve the effects of gravity on the depreciation?
McLarens are cars that one could stare at for hours and never get bored, but would hesitate to actually own one, even if they had the money.
That's a bloody brilliant review, that. 👍
Ferrari is out here playing chess while Lambo and McLaren are still playing checkers.
Thanks for some quality drone and external shots. That 750S is pretty lean and mean!
@Taverish it looks like @McLaren is doing exactly what you are doing with the P1.
Freddie,
I want your P1 to smoke the 750S. 🙏🏼👊🏼
I'm sure he will now he has a benchmark to compete with
Bro the 720s is faster than P1 750S 765LT
AutotopnL tested it on Autobahn look at numbers 1/4 mile 1/2 mile 1 mile 0-100 0-200 0-300 kph top speed everything the 720s is faster than McLaren P1 those numbers verified by VBOX and DRAGY
765LT and 720s were similar from 0-250 km/h
After 250 km/h 720s was pulling away in side by side GPS acceleration comparison
Pity that owners will spend most of their time in the seat driving back and forth to the dealer to fix it.
Driving? Getting towed more like.
10k miles on a 720s in almost 5 years now 0 issues. Same with the elva.
I wish it was more of a radical redesign but it’s pretty neat. Love the 720s and it’s more extreme variants
1:35 Most people say the P1 without the electric bits would be the 675LT, and that’s the closest thing to one. It’s interesting that a 750S is compared to a P1. Must be that good.
@@MrIke303
I thought McLaren don’t even make their own engines?
Facts ❤❤
@@MrIke303they’re made by Ricardo based on a design licensed from Nissan.
@mquin359 pretty sure it was the rods in his 675LT that shit the bed
@@MrIke303I guess you never owned or driven one, because if u had u won’t make stupid comments like that 👍
That's a nice track to test it! Estoril in Portugal! 🇵🇹
I take it the next higher spec will ne the 800LT?
I guarantee you McLaren would use the same exact sized rods and the engine would blow up left and right. McLaren is lazy, even though I love their cars, the effort they put into the engineering/design of new models is pathetic.
No I’m guessing this is the final fully combustion super series car so it will be replaced with a brand new hybrid
@@annonymously331 Sounds about right. I agree.
Tavarish is about to answer the un-hybridized P1 question. Should be pretty light.
This Guy is great :D and he absolutely makes a good Job on the Review
People who say that 911s are all the same will be the same people who will say that the 750s is the same as the 720s.
Porsches evolve, and most today are iterations of one model (992). McLarens are actually branded as different vehicles, yet look nearly identical.
Where's Chris Harris? He is the only who knows this machine well enough to tell the difference.
Love it that top gear is making in depth car reports again. Thanks Top Gear! Been a fan since the Tiff days
How long are Brits going to continue calling antennas "aerials", considering no one has made one stick up into the air for at least ten years?
We never will 😂
That's so fire 🔥
What’s the actual aim with this car given the existence of the 765lt? Is this better?
This is the base car, the replacement for 720S
More driver focused than 720S but less raw and unrefined than 765LT
Day to day, or for road trips yes it will be better than 765LT
On a track day or an Alpine pass the 765LT will be better.
only made 765 of the lt , it was a limited edition , this is readily avaliable . Also has a next gen interior vs 765
Love it already 😁
Adhesive aeroplane wires would shed a lot of weight off the vehicle as well. In fact, aeronautical materials would help reduce weight significantly.
This is exactly what Porsche have been doing with the 911 for years. Small incremental changes.
does it come with upgraded rods and pistons cuz the old ones were too weak
When something is so perfect why do you need to change so much, these are at last getting the recognition they deserve.
This guy's funny - he needs to be in more videos!
From all of the TG staff, they choose the worst one to test a brand new super car. Good thing Catchpole has done it on Hagerty as well, I didn’t even see it but I already know it’s on a whole new level.
Watch mine on the 750 😁👍
Amazing, McLaren 750s 👍👍👍
How can the manage to grip which such a tiny 245 section front tyre😮😮
So basi ally what you are saying is @Tavarish is right all along and removing the hybrid system and having a more powerful IC engine is the way to go to make the best P1
And he got so much grief for going that way. Freddie is a top man and I suspect he will create something more spectacular than this 750S
Glad to see the wheels not come off during the show.
Very cool 😎
I love it ❤❤very much 😍 750s
News Flash: the seats will still rattle, so will the dashboard. The radiators will pop after two laps and god forbid the a/c keeps working after a year.
Im expecting huge drop in 720S price so finally I will buy one.
still beautiful
Will it breakdown, blowup, go on fire like all other Mclarens, highly likely? Yet to do a track day, car meet or organised drive without seeing a Mac get recovered
Why isn't Mclaren calling this a mid-cycle refresh of the 720S?😕😕😕
They said the build quality was something they really focused on with the Artura and look where that got them. It's the only thing holding them back
I have several McLarens.... all are very reliable so far.... i believe the export cars are well built compared with those sold in local uk market 😂
Blud i have 10 mclarens and i hate them
The t50 review is out but when is the video coming out
Nice time to launch car, McLaren is doing so well in f1 now
Great car...
You didn't mention shorter gears it one the most exciting things in this upgrade
Do they still catch fire?
Surprised the previous models never had forged wheels, thinner glass, and seats dripping in carbon.
I wish it was a hybrid...even if it had the exact electric motor and batteries from the Artura
I love the way he talk about this car 😂
Freddy's P1 will be awesome!
What would it be life is a P1 wasn’t a hybrid? Literal Freddie Tavarish is showing us with his.
Everyone giving it to McLaren for the looks when the 911 hasn't changed for 30 years
What a beauty😍
So basically 750s is a more affordable and a less exclusive 765lt !!..
1:27 tavarish is working on that
In the states we call it a mid-cycle update.
Try the Regera from Koeningsseg, 1500 HP, 500 petrol, 1000 electric, cluch less tranmision, and so on.
Not its 1100 petrol. 707 electric
@@davidkato1150 ty, and Sorry for error.
Let's see if Tavarish can top this with his P1 salvage rebuild. Im sure he will
The silver is beautiful
Opening joke wasn’t funny, heard it a billion times already
Beautiful car. McLaren do make some absolutely wonderful driving machines it has to be said.
They really do.
The only place where I think they lag behind a lot of their competition are the interiors.
Take something like an F8 Tributo for example.
The interior is just a wonderfully sculpted, refined and elegant place to be, with the finest materials all mated together with the eye of an artist.
Even Mercedes are miles ahead in their higher end cars.
McLaren's interiors are still a little too humdrum for my liking yet, and it's something they need to work on.
After all, realistically, the percentage of people who will buy a 750S purely for track days is extremely small.
Yes, it's about the driving experience. But it's also about the living experience too.
It needs to be a place people are happy to be in and happy to be seen in.
F8 is a shit car, you don't have to believe just test drive both or at least get in the co-pilot seat & yall get it.
@@billionaire1159 the drive is irrelevant as I was talking about interior quality.
McLaren need to step up on theirs.
Let’s guess the name on LT version. My guess is 789LT😂😂
Wasn't the 720S' rear wing already carbon fiber?
To compare the all mighty new 750 with a 10! Year old p1 is pretty fun. The p1 who even did the new thing all new hypercars do now, Electric.. come on, no one choose a 750 over a p1.
We need Chris Harris reviewing the 750s.
They just love rebranding the same car. This is partly the reason they depreciate so heavily, a losing formula similar to jaguar.
So so difficult to improve on its stupendously delicious predecessor; but I'll take this 😉😉
What angle is bad on ehat is onebof the greatest looking cars ever... up there with the E-Type
This is a 720s with a bodykit... funny how Top gear's cynicism disappears when its a British brand. Unlike their Ferrari reviews.
Ollie beeing cheeky and at the start of the video obviously not realising or maybe can't refer too, that Tavarishs P1 Evo is what this is. He is making a way better road car, than this pricey 750S imo. I think it is a pricey markup for a facelifted car......Mclaren plz update that 15yr old steering wheel plz 😢 my question is when is this car coming to GT7....😅👍
270 mph! Wow!
It's more likely kmh. This was in Portugal.
Still got those horrifically gopping front light sockets.
Probably the best supercar on sale. The hybrid cars are way too heavy
Cool for car boys
The 720S came out 6 (yes six!) years ago and has not been very successful. If this is all they can muster in that time then I'm extremely worried for McLaren.
You've got something seriously wrong with you if you can say with a straight face that the 720S isn't the greatest supercar of all time. There's nothing even close to a 720S, it's the pinnacle of engineering.
They simply can't afford it, they spent what little money they had on the artura, they have to keep rehashing the same car over and over
@@Tj33333Porsche have been doing that for over 50 years and it’s been very successful for them.
@@SICsupramanThe engines are from Mercedes and the electronics break down once a week 😂. How could you possibly believe that
@@markoon139Mercedes? I thought the engine was their own design
Why do people hate on the McLaren updates as 'looking the same' as the old model? Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini have been doing it for even longer.
I know of a flat plane v8 that sounds good: GT350R
Ferrari?
Just saw Jethro's review on evo, no comparison.
This looks mega. target audience is people with millions - who wouldn't consider a *used* 720. Nice product
Let's hope the build quality improves greatly. I've been in 3 McLarens and they've all had terribly built interiors
10:39 plugged in car play? you mean there is no wireless?
Please come on... don't expect too much
sorry, which McLaren's drive the same??
Why do all car reviewers put out the same old diatribe about McLaren's not being different enough from each other, yet other manufacturers appear to always get a pass eg Porsche, Lamborghini etc
Looks the exact same as every other boring McLaren with the smae Ricardo V8 with a slight tune
Still no easy button for the lift 😅
I'm sure the car is amazing...but I really struggle to get excited by McLaren's design language (inside and out). It looks a bit...underwhelming inside, and the exterior looks very generic...supercar? Again, probably a brilliant drive, but I can't see being won over by this car. I admit I couldn't tell you one McLaren from the next - they all more or less look the same to me.
That’s because they literally use the same damn parts on all of their cars. The P1 shared an ungodly amount of parts with their other cars. Laziest supercar manufacturer out there.
@@MrIke303 While you are not wrong, I can understand them. The development of different cars just costs sooooo much money. Every little piece is tested to exhaustion. And when you can spread the development costs over more cars, you can have a - ok that sounds absurd - reasonably priced super car... And well, they are if you compare price vs. performance to other manufacturers.
But tbh... I'd still probably settle for a new Porsche instead
Mclaren looks awesome but build quality is soo bad.
i want to see
750s x 296 GTB x Revuelto
I'm mind blow that my AUD $711 Kenwood touch screen stereo has WIRELESS Apple Car play and Android Auto but McLaren can't do this for this several hundred thousand dollar car.
Wow it’s AN Mclaren! I’m losing track of all these cars because they look identical and have slightly different numbers on the badge. I’m sure it’s an incredibly machine and driving experience though.
Same as Porsche 🤔
the names, numbers as names thing really does get confusing
I will take 2 please 😊😊
There are some changes from the 720S but the whole profile of the car isn’t the next generation and that’s ok because the 720S isn’t that old until now.
