People online talking bad about the 720s 98% of them never drove the 720s and are just copy pasting someone else that also don't own a 720s or even been near one.

[@designertonio5801]

exactly.

[@stanglvr6781]

Its so awesome that they bring these supercars out for you to drive! You are one lucky guy! Hard work and dedication has paid off for you! Your living alot of peoples dream Austin! And it amazes me you have accomplished all this at such a young age! This McLaren is amazing! I think any supercar looks better as a spyder model. Just my opinion thou! Anyway Happy New Year! Cant wait to see whats next!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Happy new year to you too! I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a nice comment... It really means a lot!! Happy to bring everyone into the driver's seat of these performance cars, because as an enthusiast this is a dream! :D

[@anasmaqbool9119]

i love how you manage to reply almost everyone Love from Pakistan

[@stanglvr6781]

@@SpeedPhenom most definitely! Your knowledge is part of why I started watching your channel a while ago. Its amazing you can cram so much info on so many different cars. As another auto enthusiast, Thanks for creating this amazing channel. Also thanks for taking the time to reply to me when I know your a busy man! Very much appreciated Austin. My name is Will by the way. Great talking to ya!

[@georgecarousos6735]

I was fortunate to drive my friends brand new 720S a month ago. Holy hell, the acceleration curve was insane. But what was even more impressive is how smooth the car is on the road....might as well been driving my Range Rover. How McLaren can make a car with so much performance drive so comfortable should be the benchmark for other OEM's. You could daily drive this car and the wife would enjoy the ride. And I do feel that the 720 looks way better in person than in photos... it was stunning. Only thing I found unusual was the brake pedal feel at parking lot speeds. Way more pedal pressure than what I would have imagined to keep the car from creeping forward.

[@SpeedPhenom]

So cool to hear you got to experience the 720S George! The smoothness of the ride is SHOCKING. Literally the best riding performance car I've been in. I hear you regarding the brakes... Keep in mind that the tuning of the brake pedal really benefits you on the racetrack. Since you need to put significant pressure on it for a hard deceleration, it allows you to finely brush the brake and control meticulously your loss in speed for an upcoming corner. Basically, the set up allows for precise modulation at the limit! :)

[@kiddeadpools2586]

I cant wait to join the Mclaren family

[@zpdgx]

such a beautiful mclaren, the mclaren 720s is my dream car too, glad somebody else is enjoying the car, i cant wait till i get my hands on one omg

[@tmchesney56]

Awesome review. Agree that the 720s is the best of the best.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you so much!!! Yes!

[@barryboyd7973]

I recall seeing a white 720S spyder with a leather interior ( might have been 2-tone) that was up for sale a year or two ago.. I must say, that was my favourite. The white contrasted with all the dark carbon features and the leather interior looked so much more finished. It also had a few, tasteful after market pieces, that looked like factory. For my taste, that was the nicest one I’ve seen. I’d love one like that. I”m all for having a car that is comfortable on the street and highway plus excellent on the track. Of course, the more money you have, the less important that is. Just buy some track only cars to go with your street cars.

[@Juuk-D]

McLaren are known for being great everyday cars, where other supercars are much more track focused and not very nice to drive on roads over longer periods

[@isaiahgarcia4279]

This guy really shows appreciation for these amazing machines

[@savalasnorwood3733]

I must admit, your videos are some of the best car reviews on KZbin.

[@BenjySparky]

Austin,Happy New Year to you and your family! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thanks Benjamin! Happy new year to you too! I wish you the very best for 2022! :)

[@G82Jesse]

I got a chance to zip around town in a 720s Spider a few weeks ago. It's an unreal car.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Glad you had the chance to experience one. Words cannot describe it!

[@richardmorris7063]

Happy new year Austin,the 720 Mac is one of my favorites. Now they need to figure out how to put a roof scoop on a hard top convertible,& it would be perfect! Lol!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thanks Richard!! That would be awesome! Would love to see something like that. Happy new year!

[@marciajames4227]

Very very very good video. Awesome production. I can hear the excitement in your voice. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you very much Marcia for the kind words!!!

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Speed Phenom Absolutely Incredible Review I think it's absolutey incredible that McLaren Sent you that Absolutely Gorgeous 2022 McLaren 720s Spider and I think you should definitely get a 765LT or 765LT Spider and Happy New Years Eve to you and your family and all of your Subscribers

[@BenjySparky]

Thanks Josh Happy New Year to you and your family!

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

@@BenjySparky Your Welcome

[@SpeedPhenom]

Josh you make some of the nicest comments I see on KZbin! Thank you for all you do! Happy 2022!

[@JeffSayYes]

i like how he's going so fast and then there's a minivan tailing him 12:28

[@jeffadams9699]

What a GREAT and detailed video! I saw one of these yesterday and absolutely fell in love! My new favorite supercar!

[@vishwav20]

You are one of the fortunate human beings to enjoy such a machine! Awesome!! Looking forward to my turn!!!

[@gotime1236]

The 765LT Spider is gonna be the one🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SpeedPhenom]

Can't wait to see them hit the streets!

[@1222dan]

I like the looks of the Lambo better but these are growing on me. This color is the nicest I have seen.

[@eyeofthetiger6002]

Mclaren must have the coolest factory and HQ for a supercar manufacturer, it looks like an Apple HQ than a car factory!

[@ben7785]

That red with spyder looks amazing.

[@AntiMatter305]

OMG! What a perfect, perfect car!! If only I could afford one. So perfect 🤩 !

[@lylelogan4910]

Nice whips and chains ASD

[@CarvingCanyons]

Love the 720s! Great video!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you very much!

[@costafilh0]

Great car, freaking love it! I see you live in Mexico judging by the 100+ speed on open streets 😅

[@BossPau]

Happy new year bro!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you!! You too!

[@dnice362]

Mclaren are without a doubt the best cars not only are they the fastest under a million dollars are the road and zero-60 and straight line acceleration but how comfortable they are. Only problem is the reliability of them outside of that you can’t buy a better exotic sports car

[@SpeedPhenom]

Happy to say reliability for me has been PERFECT.

[@Batdanceohio]

@@SpeedPhenom Please keep us updated on reliability so we can see if it is myth or reality. Enjoy !!!

[@arianadavis5224]

why do you shift your paddles like that? 😂 beautiful car

[@ARlELATOM]

Congratulations on your new car!

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

He was only test driving it

[@SpeedPhenom]

Haha I wish!

[@djkenneyhollywoodhart]

Very cool. Thanks for the ride. Great review.

[@gorgemetz8062]

My adrenaline levels are spiking from just watching.

[@drsimonds]

Great review! Maybe someday! For now I’m loving my ‘21 C8 HTC 3LT and could not be happier. Keep up the good work!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Great buy! This is your next evolution maybe from your current ride being a Spider! Thanks Ross :)

[@lilray7210]

Man I wish that I can have a car like this. Maybe one day when I win the PowerBall jackpot 🤣

[@Juuk-D]

You can get a 720s for 150k in the UK

[@graemekrone6436]

Hi Austin, happy new year to you sir! So, I gotta question for ya.....are your trying to be a McLaren salesman or a ad director? Man, I want one of those so bad, what a cool car!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Haha 😆! One thing is certain, I'm not being paid to say good things about ANY car. This is honest and my pure reactions.

[@bertoray5497]

I know you don't like to push it too hard on the street, but I did note that the MPH was blurred out while you spiritly drove it. 😊

[@SHELBY13GT500]

That was great! Love the car! Maybe your next purchase! This or the 765 lt. Either way both are insane!

[@SpeedPhenom]

We shall see!!!! Can't go wrong with any of them.

[@markholt1073]

Yooo who does your videos the intro was sick !!

[@RemainedAnonymous]

Good stuff buddy!. Maybe I'll see you out there one of these times🤝

[@the_Carthaginian]

mind blowing! hope one day to have one!

[@amazingproducts3261]

This is sick dude, that engine sound. Oh.. man

[@Emadavid]

I just got a 650s, this looks like a good future upgrade

[@skip741x3]

knew u would love driving one of those!

[@ItzMonta]

my fav car im get it one day mark my words 🤞

[@cristopheralexander1583]

I thought this was the 765lt. But it's still cool asf

[@alphaomega2524]

Unlike the 720s, The Supra s active suspension is directly welded, bolted 2 to it's transaxles

[@msshelby8843]

Dream Car there man!! Exact specs!!😛😛😛😛

[@SpeedPhenom]

The spec is STUNNING!

[@graybeardsage]

You know you're in a Texas canyon when you see orange traffic barrels everywhere.

[@nicksylvester7546]

Super review of a gorgeous car. I'm now in the market 😃

[@RUFFTOYZ]

Great video

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it!

[@embakubmotoring]

Damn that's Insane

[@BTCNSDAP]

Would you rather have one 720s or four C8's

[@SpeedPhenom]

That's an easy one! If I took 4 C8s I'd have 3 just sitting and not being driven (basically being wasted). So I'd pick 1 720S!

[@BTCNSDAP]

@@SpeedPhenom interesting. Would you rather have one 720s Spider, or a 2021 McLaren 600LT Spider and a base spec C8

[@ShelbyvsViper]

@@BTCNSDAP Me being his followers would rather him have a McLaren 600LT and a new Corvette Z06 with Z07 package.

[@SpeedPhenom]

haha now you're speaking my language!

[@Mechaniclemaniac]

I think I saw a double rainbow.

[@BobBroeking]

Nice using some new video techniques...well done! Music, slo mo....etc

[@SpeedPhenom]

Glad you noticed! Thanks for watching!!

[@jeffadams9699]

This isn't a real car....It's the new Gran Turismo on the PS5! Who are you fooling? LOL. Amazing shots man!

[@trentcardwell8620]

No we gold watch

[@SpeedPhenom]

Lol it's just painted.

[@Jstall7543]

This Car is so Amazing!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Couldn't agree more!

[@MarchedYeti96]

would you pick this over your 600lt?

[@user-nr2ku9dk9b]

You have a fun channel

[@lkjanuary0323]

wow!! How I wish I can achieve it in my life!

[@apexak]

Sup happy New year!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Haha thank you! I wish you a happy new year as well!!

[@pterod4ctyl]

Great video !

[@SpeedPhenom]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@Brooks22n]

Beautiful Car

[@joedirt6222]

Oh if not for the plethora of QC issues... However, I wouldn't say no to one. Lol

[@SpeedPhenom]

The issues people speak of are completely blown out of proportion and are usually from non-owners. Every owner I know loves them. All I can say is that mine has been perfect. Though, I cannot speak for owners who modify and tune. Thanks for watching! :)

[@kenmcgowansze4572]

Watch out the Corvette Z06 is coming.

[@colinwood8376]

I need this car, I need the cheat code for life to get one. Gotta get real estate to buy one of these.

[@bogeyman9979]

Gonna buy me self one of that things I swear

[@derekbaker777]

I wonder how fast he was banking those corners?

[@MV-yp8il]

The best supercar now avaible. This is a fact

[@9csvt9]

Is he going to be able to shoot blue flames without catching his car on fire?

[@SpeedPhenom]

I've been doing that for ages!!

[@LyricalMirage]

Nice 👍 video 👍

[@scoobydoo5164]

Get the 765lt it's a big step up from the 600lt

[@Darth_Arashi]

I’ve been watching your channel for awhile now and I don’t want to feel like a stalker but I’m recognizing a lot of areas in the background of your videos I’m beginning to think we live in the same city 😂

[@SpeedPhenom]

hahaha thanks!!! Maybe!! 😆

[@Tential1]

The algo does location based recommendations. You'll get recommended people in your area and then it will radiate out. There are tons of car content creators and I don't get recommended people with far larger channels (same with other types of content). That's just my personal thoughts, can't verify, but that's what I've noticed the algo seems to do.

[@hectorfabio4149]

Did you say how much it was? Can't seem to find a definitive answer on Google.

[@bradleyfurer7847]

Am I the only one that sees a 1996 Camaro when you see one of these?

[@SpeedPhenom]

haha !

[@johnfullmer7659]

The Red is awesome

[@SpeedPhenom]

Yes it is!

[@youngkoza508]

This is my dream car 🚘

[@alphaomega2524]

Basically acts like a reinforce roll cage also

[@brianiswrong]

The 765LT Spyder has got to be some machine to compete on " bang v buck" against a lightly used 720LTspyder. Not sure other than a " flex" or " Willey waving" it can be such a quantum leap in performance 🤔

[@SpeedPhenom]

I've been in a 765LT coupe on track and have to say the on-track sharpness of it is breathtaking.

[@drdavediehl1]

I had a chance to drive the same car a few weeks ago. I honestly thought it was the best car I have ever driven. And i only used it on public roads for 40 min. where was this video filmed? Curious. It looks a little like Santa Barbara?

[@SpeedPhenom]

Great to hear you had the chance to drive one too!! Unreal experience! This was near Irvine! Weather was unreal!

[@princesone1961]

1 thing i am curious...if on a rainy day how are you suppose to clear the back window to look out for the car behind?

[@whoameister]

this window rarely gets wet

[@cruisemansfield8949]

Love the color

[@SpeedPhenom]

McLaren makes the BEST colors in my opinion!

[@neilclarke1498]

Sweet car Austin

[@turdferguson-]

Why do KZbinrs insist on flicking the paddle shifters like that??? Just stop, it looks stupid.

[@blackouthemi6667]

Get the 765lt 🔥🔥🔥

[@jusrarsh4109]

*For some reason I like the looks of this more then any Ferrari ot Lamborghini

[@johnfullmer7659]

I'll have to say that is a great car but there is no dealership in Idaho

[@SpeedPhenom]

Sorry to hear... I think there is one in Utah? Not sure to be honest...

[@adamlong54]

Ok but can it drive safely in snow and ice?

[@deankim6687]

Cool intro bro.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thanks Dean!

[@alphaomega2524]

Z y'all would have thicken, stabilizer ect.........

[@jeaniecathers7506]

I need that car

[@theRealLeperchaun17]

What's the point in up and down shifting like that

[@SpeedPhenom]

Creates epic gear change noises and is more fun!

[@djrv3n423]

'son, may i see your learner's permit'

[@StreetCars101TV]

I did not know this car has to be charged. I just did a behind the scenes photoshoot with one. He had a red interior, it is an amazing machine! More and more the STO is losing my interest

[@randyabney7834]

That roof. wow

[@deghihderaman3572]

Kereta macam ni layak duduk dekat MotoTrader Magazines.

[@menschmenschson7504]

Gordon Murray the legend himself called the 720s the most capable all around supercar he’s ever driven. And he claims he’s driven every modern supercar.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Can't believe how much it can do...

[@AaAa-bp9zf]

What country is he in?

[@bluejayrover]

How do you compare the 720s to your 650Lt ??

[@SpeedPhenom]

600LT is more raw and more of the "track car". 720S is the all-around Supercar, that is ready to handle all sorts of roads you throw at it. Depends if you want emphasis on the most track focus possible, or a jack of all trades! For example, a key difference are the vibrations for instance in each.

[@claudioagmfilho]
