Alzy - Speaking of which, why have I never seen this talked about? Cops, that is. I’ve never seen so much as a Forest Ranger in Matt’s videos. Certainly there are some California version of ‘Super Troopers’ roaming around these 4-5 roads Matt regularly “drives”? Matt is a very responsible, attentive, and professional driver out there so I’m not saying he deserves nor trying to jinx him into any tickets or whatnot, but I’m curious as to how he does it, anyone else?
I've driven on the roads around where this was filmed in the Angeles National Forest, and if you go midday on the weekdays you almost certainly will not see a cop in my experience.
Me too, The way I see it, someone in this field of engineering should be able to design an ac system small enough to cool the inside of these types of cars. And hey, why not figure out a way to take some of the cool air from the ac pump and help to introduce a new kind of "cool air" intake...seems possible but not sure if the power trade off would be beneficial.
Worst decision ever!! The corolla will be worth half its value in 4 years while this car will be worth more. Plus the McLaren can actually help you get a life, I mean a date.
Possibly overheated the clutch pack from launching uphill. nothing comes close to porsche reliability with dual clutches. the 720s is such a beast though, bit of a supercar bargain.
Yes, I remember when R&T (I think?) did a test of 991 turbo, where they did 50 launch controls, one after the next, and the 0-60 time didn’t change by more than 0.1s 👌.
Zatharos, in the case of a dual clutch it has a clutch pack that resembles two multi plate clutch assemblies in one. as it grabs one set it simultaneously lets go of another, allowing for shifts that are nearly seamless in power transfer. here is a short description that illustrates it well: th-cam.com/video/t8aGgSbtoJE/w-d-xo.html
Love the fact that the interior is purpose built not too many buttons and distractions it actually looks weird to see a such a clean modern steering wheel
Surely the most underrated supercar out there. Those first round of TH-camr reviews and the dipping 2nd hand prices made this car take a reputation hit, but it’s clearly the fastest everyday supercar without compromise.
Don't change a single thing about your review style. The cockpit camera has made watching this review an absolute pleasure. Most car reviews I'm bored after a few minutes but I could have sat here for another very happily watching the breathtaking scenery. most car reviews feel like watching someones else's experience. I feel like I was in the car with you while watching this..
Matt Farah, sir, you are one of my favorite honest reviewers of watches and cars. You’re unbiased opinion and knowledge of high end vehicles is much appreciated and somewhat rare these days. I love all the content and your hard work
the best looking mclaren ever was the f1 the rest look and sound like chinese knockoffs merc is still putting 6L v12s into S classes, mclaren could easily drop in N/A v12s to their cars, but they won't because conspiracy to make all cars worse over time, think about it merc meets emissions with a 600hp v12 in the s600, a 2 ton car mclaren could super-easily meet emissions requirements because their cars are 700kg lighter and so much more aerodynamic............that's how i know its a conspiracy make everything small displacement and gay it up with some turbos and paddle shifters and electric steering you know there is a problem when an e39 540i sportwagon has better road feel than any new mclaren, i'm talking about steering feel and not lateral grip 1 wins as a track weapon, and 1 wins as a drivers car also my 2001 540i sportwagon has a 4.4l N/A v8, so by engineering principals alone it is better than ANY 3.8/4.0L TT mclaren
I think this video is a perfect example of how far you've come/how good a presenter you are. Being able to talk about the car so well at (allegedly) very high speed on a road that isn't closed for your use is really impressive.
The 720s is the best car I’ve ever reviewed. I love that it’s this fast and rear drive. If I won Powerball, and I didn’t care about resale value or reliability, I would buy this car.
I haven’t driven the 720S, but I rented the MP4-12C for a full day in Vegas, and it blew my mind how fast that car was, especially only being RWD. McLaren’s are just so good!! I agree. It would def be a car I would buy if I won lottery
Glenns Car Collection Oh, I think it is the BEST supercar in the world! So, I agree with you. The mega millions got away from me last night. But, I still have a chance in the powerball tonight. Lol. But, I'm gonna go directly to a McLaren dealership to order this car, if I win. That said, congrats to the mega million winner in California.
Wherever you're driving Matt, it looks like a Need For Speed track. Also, really like the picture-in-picture with you talking and at the same time showing the front of the car driving. Most car Youtubbers don't have this, they just show themselves talking and that's it.
The same aliens that helped humans build the pyramids came back just to help engineers at the Mclaren build the 720s. This weapon is in league of its own and just puts all other supercars to shame.
If that is true they left too early. The pyramids still stand, while the 720S couldn't make it thorugh the press launch without problems. They should have stuck around and tought McLaren to build a car that works for more than five minutes at a time. That said: If they decided to build it properly i totally agree. I love the looks of it, the sound of it, and it's SO freaking fast.
The first reviews of the 720S dropped in may last year if memory serves me right, so the car is at least 15 months old now. ..and this car managed one launch before acting up. McLaren is famous for building cars with all sorts of annoying issues. Instead of throwing new cars on the market every other week, killing off resale values for their customers, i think they would do a great service to the brand, and their customers, if they spend the time needed to correct the problems with their cars. Instead of people going "New McLaren ey? I'll consider it in a year or two when they, hopefully, have got the bugs fixed", it would be great if they just delivered working cars.
This videos makes me so excited about owning this one day, love the way you talk and explain everything it’s really easy to feel your excitement and it’s so infections 😍😍😍❤️
rally road is an abomination to automotive enthusiasts Matt, these amazing cars are meant to be driven not stored away in a warehouse to appreciate in value for not being driven :(
C.T. P two sides to every coin....yes they should be driven I agree but it's nice that some are put up and away so in 10, 20, 50 years down the road people can still enjoy a flawless car built today. Just my two cents.
Absolutely, but the same can be said for the housing market (ie it’s supposed to be a roof over your head and appreciate with inflation or avg income increases, etc. and not 10-20% per year as in some markets). Markets will always correct themselves, for better, or worse...
It's similar to what's happening in the art world. Great works of art are being stored in climate controlled boxes to protect their condition and value, whereas they used to be lent to museums for viewing by us plebes. So now no one gets to see them. Rally Rd. sounds like it's going to take the great vehicles out of the hands of stewards that would continue to use, share and take care of these the way they were intended. It's depressing.
Absolutely love Matt's reviews! He has such personality and brings life to this channel! Inspired me to start a channel of my own! Looking to improve every day
I mean comparing this thing to a Turbo S is not really fair. This thing has a carbon tub. Built more like an LMP car than anything else on earth. What a time to be alive.
I dislike admitting it, but Zach just can't compete with the on-screen charisma Matt brings to driving a better class of car; perhaps any car. I'm not sure about Matt as a person (with the odd person he seems to hang about with), yet his skills and experience make him best to drive great cars at speed and still smartly chat about interesting things throughout.
markw993 I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with him a few times, and he is a super chill dude. I had the privilege of sitting passenger during a few hot laps at Laguna seca in the evora 400 about 2 months ago, and it’s crazy go he can be driving a car to 90% of its potential but still have a full on conversation with you and not miss a thing you say. It’s a crazy skill I hope to develop.
McLaren really should spend some time fixing the McLareness of their cars, instead of throwing another five new versions of their existing cars out per week. I've heard several in the know british people talk about a lot of quality issues with the 720S, which is a damn shame. Great looking, fantastic driving car, but it behaves like a McLaren.
I think for as young as they are, and given all the issues with the original MP12-4C, they've come a long way. There are quality issues with every car in this performance bracket.
Earlier today i googled the production years of the 12C. Looking at the many cars that have come from McLaren since the 12C it seems a very long time ago they made that one, but no.. The 12C was built from 2011 to 2014! All the new cars we've seen from them since then have come within a span of four years! That's even more insane than i originally thought. ..and i stand by my idea: First learn to build cars that work, then look into making a new version of them.
Remember that rhetoric about how people love Italian cars because of these types of quirks in reliability? This is the same thing. Goes to show those people were full of it.
It's crazy that with 720HP this car is kicking ass and taking names. While I'm trying to figure out how much my E30-2JZ build should have to be reliable and quick-ish.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!! GO MATT...waited for this video for ages now and then you get a check engine message! DANG IT!!!!!! but it was a cool video!!!
The kid's okay when he's driving something he's really comfortable with like a Mustang, but Matt has more personality and more excitement by a country mile. Glad he's back...ish.
mclaren has been making the best supercars (performance wise not necessarily reliability) since the mp4 12c, its crazy how every car they've made is top of its class performance. Id love to have one one day (even though most likely if I come into some money ill have to settle with a used 570)
Might as well be, that the gearbox temperature went to high with that launch, i think that's why you got that warning. When it cooled down it went away
Damn, it's common for McLaren cars to get fault codes but I wasn't expecting any trouble to come up in the video. good thing he didn't try to do a 2nd launch
When they do things like that just switch ignition on without turning the engine over for 1 minute and repeat three or four times and then start the car properly and it should clear if there isn't actually an issue. But yea like you say it's a McLaren they all have electrical gremlins & the roof glass cracks etc, it's the side of them most people don't see, that and how they tank in value in comparison to other marques at that level.
disinferno06 you're insane if you think the Chiron is ugly. Is it the best looking? No, but it's by no means ugly, and most would say is better looking than the 720s
launch control in these hyper cars may as well be called "do you want to look cool for 3 seconds and then hand your car over to a dealer for a week? Only for them to check the computer and show you went over the speed limit therefore your warranty is void and you are not covered?"
Possibly shifted too short and something went above the limit of some pressure sensor. In airplanes, you can go above manifold pressure and blow something.
I would love to see every new badass car run up Pikes Peak. We know that a new, basically stock NSX can run it in 10 minutes (which is phenomenal!!!) and it would be awesome to see how everything else stacks up.
Everyday Muscle. I doubt you do, and bet you don't even break five seconds never mind 2.8, I could Jaw bone about launching my cheap ass British car everyday, but that wouldn't be the point would it. Let's see him launch an American supercar in the same price/performance bracket, Oh wait!, you don't have one.
I would like to know how does the 720S compared to your drives on the Huracan VF900 and/or the Performante Hypercharger in terms of acceleration and top end? Or simply put, which car is faster?
he mentioned them @16:00 FI boost varies by application and preference - so there is no "it's x amount faster" when you can just increase the psi (and lose some reliability). tinkering with the 720S's turbos and ECU could make it faster, as well. Regardless of how much a 720S is tuned up to make more power, the AWD lambos are always going have the edge off the line because 720 can't put down full power in the first 3 gears anyway, even in stock form. The McLaren has the edge in aero so it will pull as well or better from 100-200mph, even with significantly less horsepower.
Great job Matt! Loved the review loved the car and it's always a pleasure seeing just how much fun you are having driving these modern works of engineering. I think you and Zack should tackle a couple of one takes together where one drives and relays his feelings and then have the other take over and conclude with their feelings. I think it could help Zack feel a bit more comfortable in front of the camera and loosen up a little bit. That being said I still think Zack does a great job but he just lacks in the animation dept that you(Matt) have in abundance. Great job to the whole smoking tire crew you guys all are fantastic and keep up doing the amazing one takes and podcasts that you do. ✌
I wonder if they would do an updated version of this car lile a 750lt... It would be awsome to see a more track focused varient... Just like how the 600lt is the evolution of the 570s...
So I may have missed it but does it still display temperatures somewhere when in "track mode"? Last thing I want when out on track is to have all the vitals hidden...hopefully it at least has some idiot lights or something on the other screen...
Just came here from the 600LT video. Been debating between the two as an enjoyable weekend/semi-daily. The comfort of the 720S is drawing though I feel like its too much of a car to enjoy on the streets of Orange County. The McLaren faults do worry me, specifically considering that the 720 decided to show it's true side mid test.
"Did he just flash me? Does that mean police? ... Alright let's talk brakes"

treebrench cops don’t really patrol wealthy areas much if at all.
We have the California High Patrol (CHP) and it seems they are always there when i go to these roads lol.
there's a lead car that goes ahead and checks for him. How do you think they get the outside approaching shots?
I was planning on buying one.. the AC is a deal breaker. Guess I’ll stick with my corolla
Me too, The way I see it, someone in this field of engineering should be able to design an ac system small enough to cool the inside of these types of cars. And hey, why not figure out a way to take some of the cool air from the ac pump and help to introduce a new kind of "cool air" intake...seems possible but not sure if the power trade off would be beneficial.

Complete reliability....oh that's why Americans buy more Camrys....yawn
Don’t forget rolls Royce !
Possibly overheated the clutch pack from launching uphill. nothing comes close to porsche reliability with dual clutches. the 720s is such a beast though, bit of a supercar bargain.

Yep, unfortunately you can't have everything in one car, unless you build your own.
Correct me if im wrong, but only true automatics have clutch packs and not DCT’s right?
Zatharos, in the case of a dual clutch it has a clutch pack that resembles two multi plate clutch assemblies in one. as it grabs one set it simultaneously lets go of another, allowing for shifts that are nearly seamless in power transfer.
here is a short description that illustrates it well:
th-cam.com/video/t8aGgSbtoJE/w-d-xo.html
"You'd swear it makes 800 horsepower"
Dyno results show that that's about right.
Love the fact that the interior is purpose built not too many buttons and distractions it actually looks weird to see a such a clean modern steering wheel
Awesome video, thanks for that. I have been shopping for Mclarens lately and loved the 650s but feel now that the 720s is worth saving for.
Surely the most underrated supercar out there. Those first round of TH-camr reviews and the dipping 2nd hand prices made this car take a reputation hit, but it’s clearly the fastest everyday supercar without compromise.
I like when Matt says Performante
Tedward perFOURmante
Perform atay
Thanks Matt. The most comprehensive, incisive reviews of any auto vlogger. You do your homework man. Keep it up.
WE WANT THE BALL SHAMPOO ADS BACK MATT, STOP PLAYING
I'm actually trying to get the name of that stuff because I've only seen the add once and cant remember, lol.

This is like when the 919 evo ran at the Nurburgring and everyone posted that the video looks like it was on 1.5 speed. Lordy this 720s is fast.
Now imagine a tuned 720S.
Also...pictures don't do this car justice. I just saw one last night, it's difficult to capture this car's beauty on camera.
I feel the opposite. Don't like its looks in pictures or in person. It just looks over-done to me.
the best looking mclaren ever was the f1
the rest look and sound like chinese knockoffs
merc is still putting 6L v12s into S classes, mclaren could easily drop in N/A v12s to their cars, but they won't because conspiracy to make all cars worse over time, think about it merc meets emissions with a 600hp v12 in the s600, a 2 ton car
mclaren could super-easily meet emissions requirements because their cars are 700kg lighter and so much more aerodynamic............that's how i know its a conspiracy
make everything small displacement and gay it up with some turbos and paddle shifters and electric steering
you know there is a problem when an e39 540i sportwagon has better road feel than any new mclaren, i'm talking about steering feel and not lateral grip
1 wins as a track weapon, and 1 wins as a drivers car
also my 2001 540i sportwagon has a 4.4l N/A v8, so by engineering principals alone it is better than ANY 3.8/4.0L TT mclaren
@@AdolfHitler-xp1nx McLaren is about lightweight stuff. That company was built on the "lightweight"-ness. It was founded on carbon fiber.
Adolf Hitler mclaren don’t have a v12, why would they develop a new engine when they already beat the competition?
Dennis Hena that’s so dam true
I think this video is a perfect example of how far you've come/how good a presenter you are. Being able to talk about the car so well at (allegedly) very high speed on a road that isn't closed for your use is really impressive.
I’ve been obsessed with McLaren since I was 9. thanks so much for taking this out!
This is the video I was waiting for. Have a nice day everybody!
I’ve driven this road in a manual 99 Tacoma and felt queasy in some places so Matt’s confidence talking and mobbing very much impressed me.
The 720s is the best car I’ve ever reviewed. I love that it’s this fast and rear drive. If I won Powerball, and I didn’t care about resale value or reliability, I would buy this car.
Glenns Car Collection same man, but after a new Ford GT
I haven’t driven the 720S, but I rented the MP4-12C for a full day in Vegas, and it blew my mind how fast that car was, especially only being RWD. McLaren’s are just so good!! I agree. It would def be a car I would buy if I won lottery
You should drive anything naturally aspirated... before you choose.
Glenns Car Collection yeah depreciation gona be like huge on this

Oh, I think it is the BEST supercar in the world! So, I agree with you. The mega millions got away from me last night. But, I still have a chance in the powerball tonight. Lol. But, I'm gonna go directly to a McLaren dealership to order this car, if I win. That said, congrats to the mega million winner in California.

Spend over $300k on a car and hope problems get fleshed out in some years... you're seriously defending that?
Stephen Batley warranty fixes it for free, and how can you complain anyway if you’re paying 300k for hyper car performance?

Shout out to Drag Times for destroying every car, modded or not.

Jeremy Stig except for next year when they bring out the 992 hybrid 911 Which will have instant torque and most likely decimate track times
Glad you’re back Matt.
I haven't seen Matt in a while, on the streets. I thought you weren't coming back to the roads. I will resubscribe.
Glad to see there was some video with this ad.
It's crazy that with 720HP this car is kicking ass and taking names. While I'm trying to figure out how much my E30-2JZ build should have to be reliable and quick-ish.

Unreal Machine, can't wait to own one
Wow that dash is cool switching out the gauges like that.

mclaren has been making the best supercars (performance wise not necessarily reliability) since the mp4 12c, its crazy how every car they've made is top of its class performance. Id love to have one one day (even though most likely if I come into some money ill have to settle with a used 570)

Such a bonkers car. Love how it looks, goes and sounds!!
Quite simply the best car money can buy bang for the buck.Head and shoulders above the much slower competition.
Ordering my 720s spider and I have to say you did a very good review 👌
Hey Matt, you should add a polarizer to your lens to get rid of that speaker reflection on the windshield.
The the 720s is one amazing machine. Its bends the laws of what we think is possible by a supercar.
Saw a 720s in a mclaren dealershio in london, its such a nice car damn
when i see Matt driving instead of the others, I click "like" !!
Might as well be, that the gearbox temperature went to high with that launch, i think that's why you got that warning. When it cooled down it went away
Damn, it's common for McLaren cars to get fault codes but I wasn't expecting any trouble to come up in the video. good thing he didn't try to do a 2nd launch
Aye he watches DragTimes
A polarizing filter on the front faing camera and this video is perfect ;)
That evil laugher pretty much sums up the car 5:53
When they do things like that just switch ignition on without turning the engine over for 1 minute and repeat three or four times and then start the car properly and it should clear if there isn't actually an issue.

1:40 the moment he started talking about the Jag the cat meows in the background.
One take is back? Hell yeah!
I now recognize and know these roads from assetto corsa’s LA canyons - ironically enough I just drove a 720s on it
You're back Matt!
Best looking Supercar out, bar none.
disinferno06 hahaha you serious? Its ugly as hell
918? Ford GT? 488? Bugatti Chiron? It's very nice and the performance is unreal but there are far more aesthetically pleasing cars
I can't take you seriously, the Chiron???? That thing is ugly as sin. 918....close. 488? Yawn
disinferno06 you're insane if you think the Chiron is ugly. Is it the best looking? No, but it's by no means ugly, and most would say is better looking than the 720s
I actually really like the looks of the 720s and think it's one of the nicest cars, but it's definitely not anywhere near a unanimous number 1
launch control in these hyper cars may as well be called "do you want to look cool for 3 seconds and then hand your car over to a dealer for a week? Only for them to check the computer and show you went over the speed limit therefore your warranty is void and you are not covered?"
God damn.
Possibly shifted too short and something went above the limit of some pressure sensor. In airplanes, you can go above manifold pressure and blow something.
I would love to see every new badass car run up Pikes Peak. We know that a new, basically stock NSX can run it in 10 minutes (which is phenomenal!!!) and it would be awesome to see how everything else stacks up.
Great video Matt I love the one takes
5:55, that was a witchy laugh Matt!
Beautiful Grand Seiko you have there on your wrist Matt!
engine fault after a launch lol
Art Vandelay. Coming from a Yank that fucking hilarious.
Lol i couldnt believe it, i launch my cheap ass dodge hard every day and it has no problems, thats “cheap” American stuff for ya lol
Everyday Muscle. I doubt you do, and bet you don't even break five seconds never mind 2.8, I could Jaw bone about launching my cheap ass British car everyday, but that wouldn't be the point would it.
Let's see him launch an American supercar in the same price/performance bracket, Oh wait!, you don't have one.
Tony yates we have cars that work though..
bbsp. Thats because their either Japanese or German.
McLaren makes very good road cars nowadays, but their F1 team is garbage
Naufal Kusumah that's probably the reason their race team is suffering
Ayrton Senna didn't win all those races because he was lucky......
Not garbage, however the top 3 teams have more downforce therefor are faster around the track
GLR where did you find the statistics for that? Companies don’t normally publish that kind of information.
Welcome back Sir
I would like to know how does the 720S compared to your drives on the Huracan VF900 and/or the Performante Hypercharger in terms of acceleration and top end? Or simply put, which car is faster?
Alex Fu dragtimes had a few races with turbo and supercharged huracans ranging from 8-900 hp
The Big Mac was faster
he mentioned them @16:00
FI boost varies by application and preference - so there is no "it's x amount faster" when you can just increase the psi (and lose some reliability).
tinkering with the 720S's turbos and ECU could make it faster, as well. Regardless of how much a 720S is tuned up to make more power, the AWD lambos are always going have the edge off the line because 720 can't put down full power in the first 3 gears anyway, even in stock form. The McLaren has the edge in aero so it will pull as well or better from 100-200mph, even with significantly less horsepower.
Alex Fu listen to z30. Check out a channel called dragtimes, brooks destroys everything lol
Dude, both run high 9s. That's really all you need to know, if you know anything about performance cars at all.
aiGeis Look, if you don't know, just say you don't know. Don't pretend you know it all.
Check engine lights are life!!
I just love that car sooo much, thanx for the great drive
Cheers
Great review after owning one for the last 6 months I agree with near all of it
One of the nicest cars I’ve seen.. breaks in 15 mins wow
yesssss, matt you back for good?
Great job Matt! Loved the review loved the car and it's always a pleasure seeing just how much fun you are having driving these modern works of engineering. I think you and Zack should tackle a couple of one takes together where one drives and relays his feelings and then have the other take over and conclude with their feelings. I think it could help Zack feel a bit more comfortable in front of the camera and loosen up a little bit. That being said I still think Zack does a great job but he just lacks in the animation dept that you(Matt) have in abundance. Great job to the whole smoking tire crew you guys all are fantastic and keep up doing the amazing one takes and podcasts that you do. ✌
Most likely did that because it overheated after the uphill launch. Went away after it cooled down a bit.
Matt you make really good videos. Thank you
What do you think of the 600lt
I wonder if they would do an updated version of this car lile a 750lt... It would be awsome to see a more track focused varient... Just like how the 600lt is the evolution of the 570s...
Good stuff as usual Matt, I liked how you didn't pull punches. Peace!
oh man, so thankful its Matt
What a great looking interior to an already great looking car such a fan
That color is so sick
Missed you Matt. Love Matt
My fav review of this car. This guy is the American Chris Harris, for me.
This thing would batter that supercharged Performante as well. Once this thing catches wind there’s no stopping it.
So I may have missed it but does it still display temperatures somewhere when in "track mode"? Last thing I want when out on track is to have all the vitals hidden...hopefully it at least has some idiot lights or something on the other screen...
Just came here from the 600LT video. Been debating between the two as an enjoyable weekend/semi-daily. The comfort of the 720S is drawing though I feel like its too much of a car to enjoy on the streets of Orange County. The McLaren faults do worry me, specifically considering that the 720 decided to show it's true side mid test.
