I would go with the 12C - it’s a timeless design with carbon tub, F1 chasis and much better tech. Now with McMedics being the best 3rd party option for maintenance it’s an astonishing value and a true exotic. The Gallardo does sound much better but also screams Look At Me Officer! All that said, a video comparing these to your GTR, a C8 and Evora would be great!
Yeah the 12c was fun! Just sold my GTR. Looking to by a Gallardo now. Reliability scares me on the 12C. However maybe a 570S one day would be something I'd buy. But for now I wan the Gallardo and then I'll probably go to a Huracan after that. Can't beat Lambo reliability and the V10
@@BrosFOURRSpeed mp4 reliability problems are way overblown, plus you can still get a bumper to bumper warranty on the car from mclaren. Very well worth it.
@@curveofsound Oh that’s cool. I’d still go 570 tho. Has much more character and I enjoyed it a lot! I’ve heard much better things with reliability of the 570 and same on the warranty which is cool
Having owned both a 12C (2012) and a Gallardo (2005), the 12C is in almost every way an objectively better car. Obviously it's much more modern, so it has that advantage. It handles better, is much much faster, is less finicky. You have to drive Gallardos in a very specific way to not cause problems over the long term. Don't get me wrong, the Gallardo is a beautiful design all around, but from an ownership perspective, the 12C is a more enjoyable experience in my opinion.
Yeah for sure. McLaren is definitely better. Aside from reliability. I just bought a 2014 LP550-2. Absolutely love it! The character of how it drives sold me. With my GTR, I've already has a super fast car. So the G is just so perfect since it is so unique. Love the old school feeling and how it sounds
@@BrosFOURRSpeed that was exactly why I bought my Gallardo haha. The raw, classic Lamborghini feel is just something you can’t get anywhere else. And the sounds of those engines (I had the 5.0 instead of the 5.2) is just incredible!
I forgot to add if I had the choice between the McLaren 12 C and the Lamborghini Gallardo I would choose the Gallardo due to the fact that Lamborghini has proven it can hold up and especially with the Revise engine which was change from a 5 liter to the 5.2 liter V10 in the 2009 you can’t lose and the car is pretty much bulletproof just make sure you drive in manual so make the clutch life last longer
The best choice is the one that you want, I personally like the Lamborghini more than the McLaren even though the former is faster. The style of the Lambo never gets old for me, always beautiful!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed The Lambo has it's bad points too, like the clutch on that one in the video needing replacement after approximately every 20K miles in addition to 7 oil drain bolts. If you are okay with all of that then you are ready to own one for sure.
Oil bolts I'm not worried about. Same oil change as my brothers R8. The second gen Gallardo has a much better clutch compared to the first gen. But I plan to get a lower mileage car, and it should last about 40k miles to be honest
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Looking forward to watching videos of you driving your own Lambo! I can't imagine owning one myself and using it as a daily driver, would be attracting attention from many other drivers on the road (not really a good thing to happen in Orlando, FL). 🤗
I overall prefer McLaren to Lamborghini in the newer models (driven both plenty of times, even today). But I am not a fan of the 12C and would gladly pick the lambo in this comparison.
Yeah the McLaren are pretty cool. I do like the blend they offer and how good they are. Just reliability is a bit on the poor side. I like working on my cars myself and Lambos are very easy to work on and don't brake down. So thats my biggest reason to go towards the Lambo
@@BrosFOURRSpeed for sure! I’m about to get the Huracan Evo Spyder I’m pretty excited for it! Waiting 4 more months then i’m going to pull the trigger on it.
The McLaren is a fun and good modern supercar you can but as far as reliability with McLaren on some of their models is kind of questionable but here’s and interesting fact that the motor doesn’t inside the 12 seat it’s also was used in the McLaren P1
Gated manual option. HUGE power potential by adding supercharger or turbos, and the 5.2 is nearly bullet proof. It will let you know you’re riding a bull, not a sterile experience. Lambo for the win.
I don't fit well in the Spider. It takes away about an inch of headroom and almost 2 inches of room for the seat to slide back. My head touches the ceiling and my legs are way too bent.
I do like the character of the E-Gear to be honest lol. Just drove a 570S and another Gallardo now that I"m truly in the market. Loved the 570 as well!
It's a fun car! I recently checked out the 570S vs the Gallardo and GT4. Ended up buying a 2014 Gallardo! Really liked the 570S, but the reliability and maintenance just seemed like a big un known
Thanks! I'd love a McLaren at some point. Feel like I need to learn more about them and what it takes to own one. The Lambo is a simple Audi underneath lol. But has all the excitement. Maybe a McLaren will find its way to me. They are a blast!
Technically. However the 570S came in closer to the price point of what the 12c was. At this point the 650s and 570s cost the same on the used market. 570s is a more modern and reliable car. So I'd go 570 all day for that reason
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I had a 12c, owns a 650 & 720 currently at the same time. Also a 488 & an aventador. You review other people’s car for a living. I own them drive it daily. But go ahead & argue
My 2013 12c coupe msrp was 294k. & there are many with a much higher price. My 650s msrp was 310. My 720s launch edition msrp is 345k. 570 is nowhere near 290k sticker. Again I own the cars & you google them. There is a difference.
@@KingKenKen You do realize I’m talking about the used car market right? A 12c can be bought for about $110k right now. A 570s can be bought in the $130k range. The 650s is also going for the $130k range. I’m not talking about when these were all brand new. Didn’t you realize I was filming pre owned cars? Regardless, currently looking to buy a Gallardo or something similar in price. And both the Gallardo and 570S are going for around $135k on the used market. No need to be so defensive. However original base MSRP on the 12C was $239k. 650s was $269k and 570s was $192k. So pretty even spread Not that any of that is relevant to this video. I’m driving two used cars that cost about $120k with mileage and age.
McLarens are just bad buys. They are notoriously unreliable and I'm not a fan of the interiors. The newer Lambo's feel to Audi-like for me. I like the idea of an Aventador but it's way out of my price range and too flashy. The Gallardo sounds cool and I've loved that car since high school but it feels so slow compared to my modded GTR and the prices have shot up through the roof. It is a timeless car however and will always look great. However now I'm thinking that I'll just get a 458 Spyder instead. Decisions, decisions...

In other words…. Black, white, interdigitized camo or gray is best
Colors are a preference..
These 2 are timeless, Truly beautiful but… GTR ALL DA WAYYY 😤✌️

You might as as well be paying for that clunk Mystank (Mustang).
