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

[@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.

[@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

[@tel666999]

I'm a brit, always use to love Top Gear back in the 90's, 2000's because it was about the cars. I think Jay's show is just brilliant. Don't shoot me down, its just my taste.

[@nickp1989]

The McLaren guy has a weird condescending smirk whenever he answers a question. Maybe he thinks he is too smart .

[@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

[@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….

I appreciate an owners opinion.

[@herbertwong6007]

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

[@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?”

[@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.

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.

[@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!

[@williamhiller3988]

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

[@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

[@HooviesGarage]

Who else has ad their weekly routing disrupted by this McLaren content embargo?

[@ModelA]

Now that you mention it.... Yep.

[@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.

[@Vartazian360]

750s is the laziest car redesign ever. They changed the front end by adding body color paint to the front splitter, added hdmi shape to exhaust like a p1 then added 30hp and said yep its done. 😂 720s was amazing for its time but dude this is so lazy

[@mac8179]

McLaren owner here. Just want everyone to know.

[@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.

[@KarmaticEvolution]

Jay looking healthy, love to see it!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@cwbracing1916]

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.

[@ezghthrt7733]

So, what's the "unique driving experience" here? What does this umpteenth superduperwhatnotcar do differently than any of the others?

[@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.

[@joepimental6938]

Thanks , BUT missing info - body panels material, number of tranny gears, PRICE, wheel sizes, what is the ground clearance, gas mileage and octane . . .

[@07RoBdYrDeK07]

Despicable how Jamie stares Jay in the eyes and lies about squezing all the power out of these cars in the factory,and saying that an exhaust would probably lose power. Days within the first customer delivery one of these will make 850whp with a downpipe and tune.

[@avsystem3142]

Sure, but how long will it last and would it be Federally legal?

[@defaultname999-ww1dw]

I respect the intracacy of the paint job, but, it's very hard to look at. The 720 and 750 are "cool" looking, but not what I'd call pretty. I honestly miss the 12C..

[@XennialGuy]

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

[@ModelA]

It's so QUIET inside! Nicely done.

[@jerrywarren2007]

Why do they spend so much effort on painting one car when they would be better off by getting a decent quality engineer from Toyota so they don't have to allocate 5.5% of sales to warranty repair costs?

[@jonathanj.4800]

I like Tavarish's better.

[@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.

[@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

I see McLaren is going after the Porsche business model of indistinguishable products

[@Emira_75]

With Porsche it's completely different because they're all 911s, so they're variations of the same model. McLaren call these cars different models and they're even more similar. They can't innovate seemingly.

[@sleep_sounds]

@@Emira_75 it’s not just the 911. Every single product is modeled after the 911. The cayman is a straight rip. On top of that there are 26 versions of each one. It’s bad.

[@hagestad]

Porsche can afford it because they make SUVs and before that their main source of income was consulting not making cars funny enough. What Mclaren is doing is never going to work. No company in the world produced only sports cars and lasted much more than 2 decades.

[@gw7624]

@@Emira_75 Load of crap. Until Porsche ventured into SUVs, the 911 made up the bulk of their line-up, so were Porsche incapable of innovating too? Secondly, McLaren are a fraction of the size of Porsche and have nowhere near the R&D budget. The fact that they've been able to produce so many different models since 2012 means they definitely can innovate. Try harder.

[@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.

Wonderful car but in North America there is not one road that a driver could legally drive the car as fast and hard as it is capable of .

In fact, which prestige manufacturer do we know that doesn't follow this train of evolution? Ferrari. Yups Lamborghini. Yups Aston Martin. Tick. Porsche. Definitely, absolutely, totally! Commercially speaking, anyone who thinks it's good to just start all over and throw away the recognisable features of a brand (that in McLaren's case is also not that old remember - thus still building awareness) is just on dream cuckoo land.
