Is the McLaren 750S that different from the 720S ? [Road and Track Test] - 4K

Is the McLaren 750S that different from the 720S. Is it just a case of more power ? Well I got to drive the McLaren 750S Spider back to back with the McLaren 750S Coupé on the road and on the track. I found the results fascinating !

All the advantages of the 765LT and 720S in the same car. And 150kg lighter than a 296 GTB.

[@larssonk22]

Exactly, I really do not understand some of the critism it has received online. It's due a refresh, this is the best of both worlds!

[@PetrolPed]

Indeed 👍

[@stefanedmeades4298]

Looks like Harry Metcalfe was eager to get in the driving seat. Nice cameo from Harry😂😂. It looks like an awesome bit of kit that 750s!!

[@PetrolPed]

I was just warming it up for him 👍

[@evanjohn503]

I can't believe how effortless that looked, minimal shaking for driver and instructor everywhere and then 'that was 160' gets casually mentioned. No talking necessary, what a car, cheers

[@PetrolPed]

It is incredibly rapid 👌

[@theloneranger2101]

Peter, did you notice that Harry Metcalfe did a small cameo appearance over your right shoulder when you were in the pits, when your door was open on the McLaren, just before the end of another excellent video.

[@PetrolPed]

Oh yes. Warmed the car up for him 😜 He was the next driver in. Had a lovely chat before he went out 👍

[@theloneranger2101]

@PetrolPed One day, Peter, you and Harry should do a sit-down chat video about the passion for cars you both share. I think it would make a very interesting discussion. Just a thought!

[@HQBProductions]

@@theloneranger2101Now that would be an epic video! Two of the best men talking with depth and enthusiasm! 😃😃😃

[@hpman911]

Really loved the video showing what a tremendous performance car this is. But and it’s a big but this manufacturer has been tarnished by very poor reliability, not helped by some under performing dealerships, and the resulting terrible residual values. Hopefully McLaren’s new warranty policy will now support their customers and as long as their reliability vastly improves this car will become much more desirable. We all want McLaren to do well so let’s keep our fingers crossed but only time will tell !

[@stephenwarren9762]

That is a wonderful colour. I remember having a passenger ride in the 720s, amazing. That 750s is a magnificent design

[@supershaun7257]

Always enjoy this guys always love to watch your vids, thanks ❤

[@owenmcdonald5922]

Way above my abilities, thanks for bringing us along. I'm sure you know Harry was lurking behind you.

[@PetrolPed]

I warmed it up for him 😜

[@owenmcdonald5922]

[@user-ei4wk8yw3v]

Looking at the steering wriggle, it’s like a Lotus for feel. This could be my dream car. V8 infotainment system, brilliant. Also great driving, so smooth.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers 👍

Really is a big catch up 👍

[@ginggur17]

Greetings, I adore these. A long way from the 1st McLaren.

[@trev8591]

Had the great pleasure to be taken out in a McLaren a couple of years ago, they are amazing cars and I love them to bits. (I'd probably get my weekly shop in that one!).

[@jimcabezola3051]

I was breathless merely watching you! What a thrill to watch you drive a car like this in its natural environment. The thing I see is that...driving to and from the track is lovely, too. Another great track day for the record books, Mr. Ped! Mahalo!

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it Bud 👍

[@neilpacey]

Really enjoyed this one, loved the downshifts. Great job putting this one together, top quality.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍 The most cameras I have ever used on a car 😂

Excellent...had me smiling from start to finish!

[@mattsmith429]

Hey Ped, the car looks so amazing, what a colour and what lines and have to say that I could see your confidence grow as soon as the tyres warmed up and a truly stellar couple of laps by yourself...

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Matt. I need more courage through Fordwater though 😂

[@beano6452]

Your enthusiasm for McLaren is inspiring. You need to own one I think.

[@PetrolPed]

I wish 😬

[@adsdean4159]

One of your best videos You really brought it across and I could see that you were genuinely blown away by it. Obviously far to quick for the public roads

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks chap 👍

AMAZING, another one for the lotto win dream garage 👍👍. Great driving Pete

[@PetrolPed]

Absolutely 👍

[@nickh8296]

Wonderful stuff Pete! One can really get a sense of the immense performance available, absolutely ballistic, beautiful car too. See you at MM no doubt 😀

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it and hope so 👍

[@coltoncleveringa8004]

I think McLaren cars should be the new Batman car. Great video Sir Pete!

That would be cool!

[@PetrolPed]

I think I might do that too 😜👌

[@mrlv8126]

Wow..that brings back memories when l drove a 720s around the Goodwood circuit…. I did find it funny when the man from McLaren was giving you instructions around your home track ..😂

[@PetrolPed]

I always take pro instruction with thanks. Every day is a school day 👍

[@mrmawson2438]

Sounds bloody great on the track

[@PetrolPed]

Oh yes 🙌

[@f35500]

So the big question, now they seem very reasonable on the used market at mo, almost obtainable! (With Man maths! )same as me, would you change your 718 boxter for a 720s spider? Still bit jumpy about depreciation and bits breaking but oh wow! what cars!

[@PetrolPed]

What a question 😬

[@tonytcook]

Thanks. Lovely - what a beast!

[@PetrolPed]

It sure is!

[@thoughtfuldog5424]

Love how you opened it up on the country roads

[@PetrolPed]

😬😜

[@streakyfish]

Was amazing how it made 60mph looks so much faster 😂😂

[@philipparkes5682]

Hi Ped McLaren has always been a favourite in this household. Going back to the 90’s when the F1 was a sight to behold in the Park Lane showroom. I promised Mrs P if she wanted to spoil me we would never lose money.(obviously I was overlooking the small matter of purchase price & servicing) However I was right about the future investment value. Fast forward to Goodwood when the 12C was shown for the first time. Again loved that car. The current cars are amazing and still outside my budget😥 However thanks for sharing, I am “slightly” envious.😉

[@paulbetesta]

Awesome car and sound🎉

[@PetrolPed]

It sure is!

[@mrmawson2438]

I am very fortunate that’s for sure 🙏🏻

[@ipman3594]

Great video as always, I must say I've never been a huge fan of the inside on McLaren's just feel like with the money it costs could be more wow factor about it especially the centre console part. How does it compare to the Porsche Spider

[@ipman3594]

Spyder even you drove recently.

[@PetrolPed]

Very different car really. Supercar versus Sportscar 👍

[@ipman3594]

@@PetrolPed I get that I was just wondering with the noise of the induction on the Porsche, out the 2 which one had you smiling more. 😊

Are there mc claren driving days available any where Pete got to drive one off those amazing cars mate

[@PetrolPed]

Probably. The challenge is they are often quite restrictive about how you drive 👍

[@johnbrown3951]

You must have to pinch yourself sometimes. That is a car on a whole different level to what us mere mortals get to drive. I can't really get my head round that kind of power after driving my JCW with 230ps to the i-Pace with 400ps and that car is twice that. Bonkers is what springs to mind and all the noises of the V8 and the downshifts just adds to the theater. What a car.

[@PetrolPed]

I’m pinching myself quite a lot at the moment 🙏🏻

[@unexplainedwearenotalone3537]

both is the best key of mclaren with out 720s never be others supercar or any 750s the 720s is key of mclaren we all know and both car is legend so this 750s have mix DNA by 2 models not only by 720s ok is first 720s sec 765 lt and now combine make magic of 750s beast.

[@wadehampton4499]

A fantastic car ! Just love McLaren, I'd take one over a Ferrari, Lamborghini etc anytime. Great video but was it really necessary for you to have to drive with an instructor ? You probably know the track as well as anyone and better than most !

[@PetrolPed]

It was a media day with people that have a wide range of experience. From someone like me that know the track very well to people who have never driven on a circuit at all. It’s just a safety and insurance thing. They let me push hard though 👍

[@moa6324]

McClaren over anything Italians or Germans make in my humble opinion
