EXCLUSIVE: First Drive of the 2024 McLaren 750S - Jay Leno's Garage

[@lockingdiff]

McLaren owner here. It's my daily driver and it's been absolutely fantastic. Jay is right, you have to drive these cars, otherwise they sit and rot. I'm a fan for life, coming from an R8 & Huracan.

[@barath4545]

Congrats man, I can never get near em, even at over $100k a year. In Europe they are $8k a month to lease and buying is $500k+

[@mfc4591]

I guess if you can afford the car, you don't worry about having to remove a panel to check your oil.... Even if you are incapable of removing the panel yourself. Fortunately, since I can't afford one tyre, I have no concerns about that!

[@ChrisJones-yu9rz]

Yeah, and I’ve got a Rolls-Royce coming from Cadillac and Bentley….

[@keithjackson4985]

I appreciate an owners opinion.

[@herbertwong6007]

How is your ownership experience as a daily and how long have you owned the car?

[@dennisdose5697]

I had just watched the next episode with the 1911 EMF. Nobody has the same bandwidth of enthusiasm that Jay has. He is the perpetual kid in a candy store. Hope we have him for a good while yet.

[@kinosgarage]

On my second 720s and seeing this video and the 750s get me quite excited. The Lantana Purple is one of my fav, same color as my current 720s Spider. Those cars are meant to be driven and the more you drive the better they are. My fav car brand and I’ve owned many 911’s, Huracans and everything in between.

[@kawasakiwhiptwo5821]

Congratulations. What do you do for a living?

[@aaronjones4208]

yo, looks like you're in austin as well. really nice 720s you have, what was your first supercar & when did you know to make the jump?

[@kinosgarage]

@@aaronjones4208 loaded question. Yes, been in Austin most of my life. First “Supercar” was a Huracan 580-2. Aside of its super looks and amazing sound, it didn’t deliver for me. Coming from a few 911’s, especially GT3’s, I wanted more out of car. I went for McLaren and it’s been the most engaging and satisfying car I’ve ever owned.

[@kinosgarage]

@@kawasakiwhiptwo5821 been practically retired for a few years.

[@MimicoBungalow]

I very much like the incremental styling increases and changes in the McLaren. This car is as beautiful and muscular as it was 15 years ago but somehow a brand-new car. Now that is amazing!

[@stankygeorge]

J, I enjoyed your guest very much, he was an engaging conversationalist without being pushy or a know-it-all. A proper British gentleman!

[@jimchik]

Man… staging the McLarens in front of the 100 year old (or more) automobiles is surreal. It’s easy to keep coming up with bubble ideas for what those older cars might be thinking, while they’re staring at the McLarens.

[@Jaebird82]

What do you think they're thinking or would say aloud if they could?

[@jimchik]

@@Jaebird82 Heh… maybe starting with, “if it weren’t for us, there’d be no you”… Take it from there… ;-)

[@stankygeorge]

They a probably arguing over who's offspring it is!

[@jimchik]

@@Jaebird82 or.. “Who’d-a-thunk.. 100 years after our tires hit the roads, that there’d be this?” “How can anyone see anything at night with those little slivers for lights? Are they even headlights?”

[@LetMrAL1]

I had a 2013 Mclaren MP4-12C. Great car was very reliable. Put 12,000 miles in 5 years. Had a power top sensor go but that was it. Myself and a buddy with a shop changed the oil and brakes.

[@dletendr]

Thats the road I test drove all my McLarens on. They are SO good around the corners, it's insane. And people move out of the way for you when they see that in the rear view

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

That paint job is an amazing montage. Always great to see an art car. I can almost imagine an animated version of it which would be wonderful to see digitally.

[@edrcozonoking]

It may be a tribute but damn it looks ugly and disconnected.

[@bradj78]

Yep incredible talent, but incredibly painful on the eyeballs.

[@WhiteOwlOnFire_XXX]

[@ivofixzone6410]

A mishmash hurting the eye most likely .

[@my31and37]

I thought that wild paint was a wrap...very impressive. And I'm sure Tavarish is feeling attacked about McLaren modding...lol

[@kieranjamieson]

Jay Leno literally said he doesn't know anyone who has bent a rod in their McLaren engine...

[@cmdrdredd]

@@kieranjamiesonand they both tried to say “you can’t get more power than from the factory”. Outright lie lmao. Now you get no warranty but some people don’t care.

[@kieranjamieson]

The only reasonable explanation is that this was filmed before the episode with Tavarish, if not Jay Leno isn't as impressed with Tavarish as he said to his face.@@cmdrdredd

[@pierheadjump]

⚓️ Apples and Oranges guys … Tavarish has SALVAGE titles. Totally different mindset. Salvaging a salt water submerged super car is a bit off from writing a check & drive off the showroom floor 🌈

[@kieranjamieson]

No, we're comparing Mclarens and Mclarens! The engines don't know if they're salvage or not.@@pierheadjump

[@cwbracing1916]

The McLaren 750s is a Times Peace of Engineering But i love when Jay had enough Talking and just wants to go for a Ride the true Definition of an enthusiast.

[@extra-dry]

Hopefully, the center vertical screen, is finally polarized the right way. On earlier cars, the supplier of the "IRIS" screen, polarized it for normal horizontal installation. In my 570S, when wearing normal horizontally polarized sunglasses, the IRIS screen looked black, unless I tilted my head.

[@mac8179]

First world problems.

[@WHDRWN]

yeh cry me a polarised river

[@ducati848harris6]

I have a 570s as well, and I couldn't care less about that. Also, satellite radio has never worked despite the dealer trouble shooting it. Again, couldn't care less. Such a fun car. Have put 5,000 miles on it in 10 months, have loved every one of them

[@extra-dry]

My check engine light came on at 8700miles. I bought the car at 8640. Fortunately, the warrenty paid $91,876 for a complete engine replacement. Sadly, it took 7 months. They test drove it 258 miles and I sold it three months later. Never again.

[@povertyspec9651]

​@@extra-dryI run the hell out of my Nissan 370Z and it is bulletproof 😅

[@KarmaticEvolution]

Jay looking healthy, love to see it!

[@busardr1452]

A lot of people don't know this but the McLaren V8 is actually a Nissan design. Nissan's R390 GT1 Le Mans entry in 1997 had a twin-turbo 3.5 liter aluminum V8 the VRH35. The McLaren V8 is based on. McLaren chose the VRH35 for the basis of its engine program and bought the rights to it from TWR. McLaren named it the M838T and it was first in the MP4-12C in 2011. Just an interesting fact.

[@matthewkershaw8341]

Another great show Jay. Are you going to get a GMA t50 on your show when available? I know what a fan you are of the McLaren f1 so it would be great to get your take on it.

[@kinneyyee3495]

Thanks Jay! Love your videos, shows and knowledge sharing! You're the ultimate car guy! Also, nice 1969 Camaro at 23:45.

[@bharathnaveen8870]

That purple works really good on the car. That 750s looks really good!

[@ENGBriseB]

Just goes to show lookafter something it will lookafter you for years. Thanks for sharing.

[@williamhiller3988]

Have my subtitles on. When you stomped it, subtitles said "Music".

[@dsimon9s29]

Thanks for posting. Jay must have tremendous discipline. Even though he displays and have company reps visit and show off their greatest/latest cars, he does not fall into the "the car is beautiful, I want one" trap. He sticks to his collection and does not deviate from it. kudos.

[@doublestrokeroll]

What are you talking about? He buys cars all the time. When the NSX came out he drove it on his channel and decided during the video he was going to buy one because he liked it so much. His collection is not static.

[@4Kandlez]

Of course he adds to his collection, he just doesn't brag about it. Seeing how much he loved this car I'm sure one will find it's way into his garage

[@heatherwhatever7714]

I said first I liked the blue but the beautiful history design blend is just gorgeous. Wow.

[@jb678901]

Yes, but not very useful as a driver's car...a collector's car for sure. Imagine the repair costs to restore the paint scheme. 1600 man-days. Good grief! It would be akin to driving with investment art taped to the bonnet.

[@edrcozonoking]

Really? I find it ugly as hell. To each his own.

[@Red6er]

Excellent car and video. If i was in a higher tax bracket I would definite swoop on one of these. Would be cool to see what the wing looks like in track mode.

[@ronnie5129]

I always have to Laugh when Jay says can we take it for a Ride, Who in their right mind is going to tell Jay Leno, NO, Cousin Figel

[@XennialGuy]

This video conveyed the engine sound better than the other reviews.

[@shirleyvega5111]

Love the purple my color. Go Jay

[@bryanhoward358]

Thank u Jay u always put a smile on my face somehow or another, u got me with the 6mm thing, coolest guy in town!

[@누구일까나는-t5d]

25:06 i love how Jay talks about broken con rod and he just release tavarish’s 675LT video a few weeks ago

[@costafilh0]

The McLaren 720S Spider was my dream car until they released the 750S Spider, which is now my new dream car! The only thing I don't like is the look of the exhaust. The previous double split looks MUCH better, imo. I will choose the black exhaust option and leave it unchanged.

[@darriuspeterson9165]

It’s the interior that I don’t like. I want more from the interior

[@ninzaa12]

6:34 *Jay Leno*: you can get more power than a car from factory *Tavarish*: Hold my wrench 🔧

Love Jay but it really makes me so sad to see him getting so old so fast. Stay with us Jay we all Love You!

[@1ls376]

Jay's gettin' ripped, glad to see he is taking care of himself.

[@Joe_likesthepump]

Sounds absolutely insane!!

[@uncledriver4054]

11:45, Jay is awesome but clearly people can tune these and get very impressive gains.

[@thomassmolinski5733]

Agreed. As soon as it was said, I couldnt believe it. He just had Travarish on. I'm sure he heard that and laughed.

[@SmithCommaBenjamin]

Jay's right for the most part. Any "tuning" to these cars makes the undrivable on the street, which is their primary purpose. There isn't any car in the world the 750 can lose to, given the right driver

[@shirleyvega5111]

Wow now outside it’s electric blue beautiful.😊

[@melvinburwell8202]

Very nice. A real exotic sports car. New. Sounds beautiful. Not a stinkin hybrid. Love those McLarens. ❤️💙👍😎

[@fishhuntadventure]

At ANY price point I’m pretty wearied by the hybrids and electrics. Hopefully corvette design peoples have a change of heart.

[@terryeustice5399]

Beautiful Car Jay . Loved seeing the 2024 McLaren. Thanks for sharing. ❤️💯👊👍

[@brucehayes3573]

all gas!!!! thank you McLaren!

[@lesflynn4455]

Actually Jay knows a guy with a McLaren with broken conrods. His name is Freddy Tavarish Hernandez. He souped up a 675LT , drove it hard and blew it to bits.

[@doublestrokeroll]

which is why he said don't mod it.

[@karespratt5131]

That’s because the stock connecting rods can just barely handle the power they’re subjected to.

[@th3b0untyhunter]

3 things. Sorry Jay, but tuners can indeed up the power considerably - especially on turbo carx Wont be as long lasting, may well go beyond what the tyres can handle, might not be as smooth power delivery But it def can be done Why Pirelli only ? Michelin are head and shoulders better Spider is lovely, but dont dsregard the Coupe Coupe is a whole lot easier for taller or disabled (and im both) to get in and out of if roof closed due to those cutouts in the roof. Plus a dog fits nicely on the parcel shelf ;)

[@Krunch2020]

Would you buy a tuned car? I guess it depends on the reputation of the tuner. I certainly wouldn’t want a car that was modified by the dreaded previous owner.

[@_VelociDad]

Such an enjoyable review to watch!

[@davenz000]

Wow it looks like every other McLaren from the last 15 years.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

They only have 1 mold.

[@Captain_wolfman]

Probably the same engine just a bit more power

[@jameslynn1255]

Aero doesn't lie, and all their cars are sexy, too.

[@eltay3]

Changing looks, per se, does not improve performance.

[@Gaudine]

Interesting cos when the 720s came out it was considered controversial because of those headlights.

[@bobhill3941]

Great video, I was hoping to see a review of the '24 750S and Jay does one of the best. My favourite part is that the McLaren model name numbers stand for PferdStarke (PS) metric horsepower, exactly like the 456 which was the final Ferrari named after the volume of a single cylinder in cc.

[@richardvervoorn6626]

With all the super/hyper cars that Jay tests out, it’s obviously becoming difficult to come up with different words to describe speed, handling, feel etc. I guess this shape is what McLaren is happiest with, similar to earlier models. Must be nice to test out all the latest in automotive technology on California back roads… keep up the great videos Jay ! All the best from Toronto, Ontario, 🇨🇦 ❤

[@davida.737]

But he doesn't 'drive' them anymore! He putts along and says it's "nice-relaxing" A 750S McLaren is anything but nice and relaxing. Imagine someone shelling out near a million bucks for this car, they do not want nice and relaxing.

[@mac8179]

[@iEduin]

1 Thing i love about All McLaren Convertibles is That They All Have a HardTop and The Doors That Go Up and That Combination is NOT easy to Find for example, Lamborghini Revuelto Has The Doors But it is NOT available Convertible, Only a Removable Top

This is so much better than the Yugo video! 😂

[@costafilh0]

Sounds good, but the 720S exhaust looks MUCH better! You should have offered the old look as an option, maybe with a titanium exhaust or something. Or AT LEAST a double tip option. Not everyone wants to go to aftermarket on these things.

[@johnnyboy1586]

That exhaust set up is probably the reason the 750s sounds much better than the 720s

[@HighOctaneSpeedShop]

I'll say it once and I'll say it another 1,000 times the McLaren 720s, 765LT and 750 all look like space ships. 🏁

[@angelzaragoza9952]

-WOW!! That’s one cool looking paint job. Wonder if GM could pull that off for the Corvette’s 75th anniversary?!

[@RadDadisRad]

That’s a beautiful tribute car. It covers 3 iconic wins in one vehicle. Has mementos all over that must be studied to find.

[@MaximusMerideus]

Too bad it's over double the price and they only made 6, which, of course, are already sold. I had my 700k sitting in my pocket ready to jump on it.

[@eldonnparks8059]

Seven years ago Jay said in his restoration blog the Detroit Electric was almost done. Of the many car reviews Jay has presented this one intrigued me the most. I have waited patiently. Possibly there is a reason for the lengthy delay. Jay, have you lost interest in the Detroit Electric restomod? You have received many cars donated to you over the years. But, how many have you donated or given away? I offer myself as recipient to the Detroit Electric in it's unfinished condition and promise to complete it and come back to give you a ride.

[@badapple65]

Jay is one of the most charitable stars while wanting no publicity. Mainly donates to veterans. Every now and then we hear the rumors of the latest incredible thing that he’s done for a injured vet & family.

[@steveshoemaker6347]

[@zukacs]

13:02 You are pushing maximum within some certain budget or you would have a koenigsegg. Thats why tuners come in and make better rods or camshafts with more exotic materials and get more horsies

[@freshvintage]

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

Perfect, I’ll have mine in orange. 2 cars in one with the folding roof.

[@cwsmith7366]

I'm not really a fan of the backfire-ish sound that seems to be the trend these days when a car is set to "performance" modes, and frankly this concept, on this car for sure, just sounds a bit trashy.. I personall love the sound of a car smoothly reving down from higher RPMs. And on another note, the last couple of Garage road videos seem to show Jay paying more attention to staying between the lines rather that wandering aimlessly around in one lane. Thank you Jay for that as it has bugged me for years.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Agreed. I like my cars smooth, quiet and comfortable, which is why I drive an S-Class and no longer buy sports cars. I'm getting bored with supercars anyway. Too expensive to buy, too expensive to insure, too expensive to maintain and you can't drive them anywhere for fear of bottoming them out, having them vandalized or getting a speeding ticket. Too noisy, cramped and stiff riding too. Would I love to drive one on a closed track? Of course, but I have no desire to own one. The craziest I'd get is maybe a 991 Turbo of some variety.

[@bestprice1776]

I love the pop and crackle of my Jaguar. Better than any song on the radio.

[@batboy-xf3ki]

Lol they saw Tavarish rebuilding McClaren and interview. Cheeky smirk "garage guys" For less than 3000 £ I'll buy one!

[@ricklotter]

McLaren had gone a bit far into driver assists and engineering with the first versions of the 570 and 720... doing something like tuning one of the few remaining V8s to be audibly enticing is important to the people spending megabucks to drive this car.

[@johnkimbrell2378]

Lame comment. Lame "caps".

[@SmithCommaBenjamin]

Of all the Hyper Car companies, I believe McLaren is the best. There's no "exclusivity list" -anyone can buy one. They have top technology, performance, and reliability. Their cars are made to be drivable, and high performance numbers are an afterthought to design. Are they worth their price tag? Who knows, time will tell. But the 25 years have been owned by McLaren
