Join Hagerty Drivers Club: bit.ly/Join-HDC-Henry -- A review of the new McLaren 750S is the topic for this latest episode of The Driver’s Seat. Henry Catchpole spends time on track at Estoril in a coupe and then on the Portuguese roads nearby in a spider. The question is, what’s actually new? Because the 750S looks remarkably similar to the old 720S. What’s more, as the name suggests, it only has 30hp more.
But to dismiss this car too quickly would be a big mistake. For a start, regardless of any familiarity, this is a spectacular looking supercar with features that remain utterly distinctive such as the eye socket headlights and double skin doors. Then there is the fact that it has shorter gearing, which means the uplift in acceleration is much greater than the power hike would suggest.
The 0-62mph time is now identical to the 765LT and although the top speed has dropped 6mph to 206mph, the in-gear acceleration is ten per cent quicker. With 740bhp and 590lb ft of torque helping along a car that has a dry weight of just 1277kg (193kg lighter than a Ferrari 296 GTB), it’s little surprise that driving the 750S flat out feels like piloting a low-flying jet.
Add in improved steering feel, a driving position that was already perfect, incredible visibility and niceties like Apple CarPlay and a nose lift that you can actually operate without referring to the manual and you have a car that is pretty hard to fault. McLaren has even worked on the sound of the M840T twin-turbo V8 in order to make it more appealing, with almighty ignition cut explosions in the powertrain’s Sport mode.
Prices for the 750S Coupe start at $324,000 in the US and £243,500 in the UK, while the cost of a Spider starts at $345,000 in the US and £267,900 in the UK. Considerably cheaper is a subscription to the Hagerty Drivers Club, and it is nearly as thrilling as a 750S.

Henry, I have to say you are the one of the most articulate, interesting & relatable car journalists in the business. There are multiple first drive vids in my KZbin feed today but the Catchpole Hagerty one is my first go to. As ever the videography is also superb. There is a cadre of car journalists I trust & value their opinions. You, Jethro, Harris & Metcalfe - it may be because I always loved Evo magazine- but you guys capture the essence of driving enthusiasm & automotive interest perfectly.

Brilliant review. The difference between this review and the TopGear one is mind blowing. I just watched them back to back, and the TopGear one is completely clueless and misses the whole point of pretty much everything on this car. Couldn't be more different to this. I watched that one first, and while it was obvious the reviewer had no idea what he was on about, it was only after watching this I realised how different and better this is over the 720. Keep up the good work, a good antidote to these people who I find mind blowing how they've even got these jobs in the first place...

As you were going through the various changes in the beginning of the review I was thinking to myself that it sounds more like a 765LT for the masses than an upgrade of a 720S and it was nice to hear your summary conclude nearly the same. For those of us who have driven the 720S, it's hard to even imagine a solid upgrade for that experience...but now we know it's here. Keep on making these great videos and I certainly promise to keep watching them!

Great episode! Great writing. It's hard to transition from page to screen. The words convey so much when writing for print. The screen, however, takes over the major role of conveying the goodness of the 750S. But you did a great job. Wonderful visuals and wonderful editing. It looks like you all had a massive job: all those angles, all those camera setups. Sound design was done really well: you captured Henry's voice even when he was driving the convertible with the roof off. Well done all around. 🙂

Great editing, content, and cinematography. Henry is really a great edition to the Hagerty brand and a great motoring journalist and communicator. He knows what he's talking about, educational, can actually drive, and is objective when reviewing cars . Thank God he's not obsessed with top speed or 0 to 60 times but actually his passion is more how the car drives and feels and present that in a way we can all understand. Easier said than done! Yes, McLaren have their issues but the new 750 is definitely a step in the right direction and improvment upon the previous model. Haggerty, Throttle House and Jay Leno are definitely my favorite motoring shows on KZbin. Maybe Chris Harris should go alone or be apart of something different than Top Gear. Personally, I feel it's wasted talent apart from the times he does reviews by himself. I mean, the new Autotrader is beginning to find its feet with Rory and the team. Honestly can't wait for him and Chris Harris to review the new T50!

@ksm1985 Since when has height got anything to do with being a good motoring journalist. Hammond is hardly a giant! Chris may come across as ego driven. However, TG needs all the help it can get, and whatever you think of him personally, he knows cars, how to drive and express that to his audience. I think sometimes people can mistake ego for raw passion. Him and Henry are very different but good in their own right!

As of this writing, the best supercar filmed by the best source of car review videos. And I'm not even a McLaren fan. Credit given where it's due, the 750s is objectively the best choice of series production supercar for enthusuasts with its superbly tailored feel through every control, no hybrid nonsense and the finally, legitimately sonorous exhaust.

This car makes me happy. When I first saw the 765LT, I was worried the 720 was reaching the end of the line. It's such a beautiful design, which doesn't look a day older now than when it released in 2017(!). Seeing the single flaw many reviewers pointed to be corrected with the adjustments to the steering, make me appreciate McLaren even more.

it was their best most sorted model. Not too much needed to be done. Why spoil something so good? They took the best from 675LT and senna (steering, brakes, optional seats etc) and used it to improve the 720. Those weight savings are not to be laughed at either. In an already light super car they improve the handling, braking, accel noticeably. And such weight savings are hyper expensive options on other super cars, but built in with this. It's a car that does GT and track very well. To improve from the 720 was great.

Almost all of what you've said are common problems amongst plenty of supercars. My chief cardiologists 488 isn't even that old and his seat stitching came undone and has a huge gaping hole by the bolstering. His dash creeks, leather is faded and had electrical issues which would cause a CEL then suddenly resolve itself. Not that I could afford one, but McLaren shares its problems just like any other manufacturer in its category.

A few modded their McLaren’s and then blame McLaren…Sure they have small annnoying issues which mostly stemmed from them sitting for too long in forecourts. In the UK Porsche had the most warranty claims per vehicle out of every manufacturer this last year! And people are led to believe they’re perfectly engineered… we live in a backwards world lol.

The one thing Mclarens have been praised for ever since the MP412C is the steering. And now they’re going to ditch the hydraulic steering after this car. Great job McLaren.

McLaren seems like they are always a notch off the best-of-best when it comes to building a complete supercar. A refinement iteration appears to be their way of catching up to the competition.

I'm fine with McLaren basically keeping the same body... They're not a financial powerhouse compared to their rivals, so eliminating the development costs for a new body makes sense if the old one still looks great. I think the looks of the 720S have got better with age, to be honest.

The touchscreen is the only part that sucks, it's slower than some you can find on budget hatchbacks. And those tires get thinner and thinner. Now road tires are thinner than racing slicks!

Performance road tyres are always going to have thinner sidewalls than racing slicks because the contact patch of a racing slick is one massive monolithic tread block that will reach peak slip angles too quickly with a narrow sidewall. It's nothing new.

The C8 Corvette can raise the nose 2 inches in 2.5 seconds, and the GPS can remember up to 1000 places that the lift is needed and will automatically deploy at up to 24 mph, and will lower automatically on accelerating back past 24 mph. This is in a superbly capable car that sells for under $80,000USD, and runs 0-60 in the high 2 seconds...

I thought McLaren were moving onto V6 hybrid drivetrains to replace the turbo V8s going forward…what happened? I’m not usually into open-tops, but the Spider here is so much more of a looker than the coupe.

I like it, I'm ok with minimal styling changes...but nobody is making those seats any lighter and it's still over 50kg heavier than my massage-seat equipped C-segment hatchback. Not that the weight of this is an issue, I'm just thinking I'd probably rather be 20kg comfier. Edit: No I can't afford this, but neither can you 😄 I'd love a McLaren, if they released a problem-free 570S replacement that'll be a dream car. Until then, nah.
