McLaren 540C vs 570S: What's The Difference?

[@seenthroughglass]

Took 7 hours to upload this video via hotspot during the drive back from Monaco to London but here it is. Hope you enjoy!

[@keyansteen7854]

Seen Through Glass great video. I literally just googled what the difference was yesterday lol

[@kimi88cz]

Seen Through Glass great video mate! Love the spec on that 570! And this 540c red is nice aswell, much better then volcano red..try to find a similar wrap;) that 570 driving looked more on limit!

[@johnblacksmith9505]

Honestly Sam, this is up there with your Tenerife sunrise chase video, with Seb. This was an epic watch. I loved every second of this vid :-)

[@alexaxiotidis3854]

Seen Through Glass keep going!! Your work is incredibly

[@sugarsaint]

worth all 7 hours, stunning video you sure you need help with your channel?? PS I can't tell them apart till you showed the rear. Love Mclaren since you all started driving them (they owe you guys a huge debt!!) Right now, Mclaren are making all other super car makers look completely static. Amazing stuff.

[@KINGJADEX]

The 540C is about 88% the price of the 570S, but 99% the experience.

[@SyriusY]

the main difference for me it's the rear diffuser. It's worth every penny. It looks so much better.

[@ph4tboy]

A Toyota Camry is about 5% the price of the 570S but 20% the experience.

[@-_--le3zk]

@@ph4tboy i dont think so it is 20 experience of this.it has no cool factor

[@KD-nm3id]

actually most important thing is 540 has no spider vision or I needn't to buy 570😅

[@2000copi]

this is the hardest any supercar youtuber has driven ever on a public road 😂😂😂 amazing video

[@tredfxman]

Hauroku Wel yeah they usually even dont come close to how i drive my GTI Clubsport, esp if they drive on London streets which are tight as peep & horrid for any form if racing abilities...

[@elibarasch1377]

Hauroku when he was in la he drove a 488 well over 100 mph in the canyons

[@mkelebay]

Watch Matt Farah (Fat Marah), he actually drives quite fast on the mountain roads.

[@dennishillinger8630]

Kinda agree, watch some of Donze93s videos, he also drives the hell out of that cars!

[@astonmartin6527]

You don't know jp performance do you?

[@jsb4771]

Sam reminds me of Stewie from Family Guy

[@smeagol1504]

With less hair..

Joseph Bussa exactly!!!!!

[@RawkustvOfficial]

Ha ha ha! 😂

[@supercarsoflondon]

One of your best videos to date!! So good! Red Rock Road needs to hear a V10 now!

[@mayankbachani7238]

Supercars of London What time we are seeing your Huracan??? Big Fan

[@moifty5483]

love your vids Sam, glad your channel is growing

[@moifty5483]

keep up the great work!

[@RawkustvOfficial]

Indeed! 👍

[@panagiotisathanasopoulos]

This is my favourite video from STG. Proper driving for once

[@CarCharacter]

Liking the video even when I haven't seen it yet, it's STG so you know it's going to be good!

[@BenderWinsSportsBetting]

Just bought a 540c today! I’m pumped!! Thanks for the great video.

[@scruffywuffy8009]

The 570 MSO paint is a £6000 option. No wonder I like it.

[@owenvoigt6394]

tune your 540c so you can get more hp than the 570s. maybe more than the 650s with the exhaust

[@andrei147]

Owen Voigt yeah

[@madkinou]

if it's that easy than why doesn't mclaren include those "tunings"? what are the drawbacks?

[@nicholasloh8342]

@@madkinou they do it's called buying a 570s they both use the same engine the car us just set up slightly differently

[@MrInternFTL]

That voids the warranty making the money saved useless as your going to spend a ton when it breaks

[@stubones]

Awesome :) you could get a sneaky remap on your 540c if you ever felt the need for more power. The engine can obviously a lot more. I suspect it feels pretty darn quick enough though.

[@jamesavickers5961]

I always enjoy it when Jww and your self get together grazie c

[@karlread1595]

How can anyone dislike this pure car open video.top work boys and take me with you next time

[@johnblacksmith9505]

Thankyou Sam for 12 mins of pure epicness :-)

[@pacstan]

Mate your videos are the best on youtube

[@eniojaupaj5615]

Sam,have you considered tuning the engine....since you can easily make power out of that

[@TheFozzy222]

Ow yea, iv just fell in love with the 540c in red.. Been on the configurator and made my own,, ill wake up soon lol. Great vid my friend, think you and James make a great team..

[@MakaKV95]

Mr.JWW and STG are the best KZbinrs!!

[@samsaunders9033]

Marko Lazovic Q

[@dserrand]

Trying to plan my route for my European Delivery this summer, what exactly is this road called? I can't seem to find it under Red Rock Road. Thanks for your help and great video!

[@CaptainPec]

d2202 its the Gorges de Daluis!

[@dserrand]

thank you!

[@squidwardshouse67]

What car are you getting?

[@dserrand]

BMW M2 ;)

[@andsoutham]

enjoy the M2 :) i have the M235i and am hoping to take it to the Alps later this year. thinking of going through the black forest and on to around geneva

[@guillaumed1691]

Massive thumb up! Just drove back from the alps where I had an amazing time snow boarding and hooning my car, wouldn't have mind a 540c !

[@eddiefara]

amazing video Sam, I love the look of that 570S inside and out! Can't wait for the videos of your 540 through the alps

[@freddiebrookessmith]

Almost perfect video but you should have said what the track pack adds to the 570S!

[@ANDRE_675]

The spec on the 720s it's amazing that MSO Ceramic Grey looks amazing.

[@sigilwig444]

I'm glad you're getting an aftermarket exhaust rather than the sports exhaust. Even that 570 sounded a bit muted...

[@tapankamath]

"Abarth's grand daddy" @ 7:06 😂😂😂

[@razvansas4443]

bloody hell the editing is just amazing

[@CinemaUnited]

James is just the better driver. 30hp is not that much on twisty roads where driver skills are the most important factor. Even the tyres if one of the two had different tyres could make a huge difference.

[@FormTrends]

Sorry to be pedantic, but PS is not hp. The 540 pushes out 532hp at 7500rpm while the 570 generates 562hp at 7400rpm. The difference is actually 29hp, not 30 ;) The change you're most likely to feel in road driving is torque -- 398 lb-ft (available from 3500rpm) in the 540 vs the 570's 443 lb-ft (at 5000rpm). Worth the £17K difference?

[@timothysfather5496]

You should re wrap your 540 in red. That would look ace.

[@S0UNDWAVE]

Timothy's sister he is

[@timothysfather5496]

davidmahg Really... that's great, I'm glad he's taking my advice. It will look ace.

[@97JGK]

this is a bit like the jaguar f type v6/v8 argument. I've heard from owners that the 4wd and heavy engine block in the front of the car can actually make the v8 less enjoyable to drive than the v6 and on normal roads you wouldn't appreciate the extra power anyway

[@4SmokingTailpipes]

Fantastic Sam. Loved this, I said to James that the RRR videos have inspired me and I'm off there in September. Cannot wait!! Thanks for this man.

[@connorousey4149]

Hi Sam, love your vids man, keep up the good work bruhh, by far one of the best car youtubers!!

[@stefanlethelbk3337]

The filming is starting to feel like a modern, fresh version of Top Gear. Another killer video - keep it up! 😊

[@where_s_wally]

Great vid Sam, nice road and awesome tunnel soundtrack.

[@JaysEyeView]

Another great video Sam - The cinematography on point as usual.

[@misterioso0123]

Now do the same, but with the Porsche line up

[@kurthabgood7989]

By far one of your best videos

[@helldriver64]

Does anybody ever come across any large rocks or boulders in the road, looks scary to drive, great vid again sam, thanks.

[@fedebenavides]

mr JWW laughing in the beginning lol

[@skylordawesome9547]

Finally! I thought I'd never know!

[@lombardy192]

From 8:09 to 8:12 MCL 570S i love this tight turning radiuses. I mean perfect car *-*

[@ferritruck3355]

What an amazing video Sam!! So freaking excited for the new exhaust on the 540C, oh and for the rewrapping! Could you tell me when all this is coming aproximately?

[@Mykehawke]

Hello one and all welcome to Seen Through Glass.

[@rutgerhoekstra1666]

i love your reactions on these kind of videos

[@bladeh12]

Winter tires suck on temps above 5c, become squishy and you just don't feel confident as when with proper summer tires.

[@TheNorville2]

Thank you, made my mind up. The 540 it is then.

[@MTobin1000]

Sam, great job on the video. one of your best visually. Those tunnels were pretty scary at the speed you and James were doing. (Mike in Ohio)

[@RawkustvOfficial]

Amazing content as always Sam, keep doing what you love.

[@KunalGautam101]

Awesome videos buddy! Your channel is brilliant, been a follower since around 50k subs, I have seen how much this channel has improved! love it!

[@ph4tboy]

At moment in my country each model has another 10% increase, eg from MP4, to 540, to 570, etc. Which should I get?

[@Jack-cu7rl]

differences - sam owns a 540c , he doesnt own a 570s

[@maneetahlawat]

Jack Newman nailed it!!! 💁‍♂️

[@HH-xf9il]

Jack Newman Jack doesn't get it !

[@makemeasandwich1145]

every time I watch one of your videos I have to adjust the volume constantly because it sounds like I'm watching retro porn from the fucking g 70s

[@andrewbell7217]

another great video, keep it going... also would you consider an engine tune? Assuming you could get close to 600bhp!?

[@MRVSKIN]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO well done Sam

[@greenchilli6660]

Thank you SO much for this comparison, it was REALLY helpful

[@gregmayled]

wow I have never seen you drive that fast before, great video Sam!!!

[@elibarasch1377]

LOOK NO BRAKES check out the video he did in la with the 488 he drives way harder

[@gregmayled]

Eli Barasch yeah I've seen all his videos and considering these roads, it was pretty impressive

[@SWatchik]

It would look so much better woth some colour running through the back, just under the headlights. It would break up the blackness and such. I feel like ATM if looks like the rear end is falling out of the car.

[@AstroDavid04]

The editing is absolutely amazing!

[@icebreakertech]

Great video, never noticed some of the differences.

[@Gavownian]

Epic shots and cars! Do you know Sam, if McLaren still plan on bringing out a 570S Spider?

[@tim2468]

Nice comparison. Hp is of course not as important on the passes. did the Silvretta in a 911 and 911S and the 50Hp more of the S wasn't useful. wish they sold the 540 in the U.S.

[@Kxji]

I guess there's not much difference if you tune your 540C.

[@brsseb]

Is this the "Gorge du Cians" road? Looks awesome. I want to add it to my summer road trip :)

[@slinglong76]

Great video, looked like an awesome day very jealous.

[@gpmmusicjunkie]

Great video, love both cars! Where is the music from in the video though? I want both tracks

[@arnaudcampion]

More over, the red paintwork is beautifull on the 540C. And you know what, I would dye to own such a car ! thanks Sam

[@spadgm]

I certainly wouldn't feel short changed by the 540C, I think it is a brilliant choice!

[@alanjackson526]

spadgm Think I'd go for the R8 plus than the 540c

[@spadgm]

R8 plus is a pretty mad car!, I can see why you would!

[@randomcarguy1656]

+alan jackson you are comparing two cars in an entirely different price range. the r8 plus costs more than 195,000GBP and the 540 is around 125,000GBP. your comparison doesn't make sense. performance wise the r8 is better and sounds better. as a daily driver, the mclaren is better. reliability wise, audi is easier to maintain (in the US) although the mclaren is cheaper to maintain. if you really want to compare cars, compare the 540, amg gt(base model) or the lower porsche 911 models.

[@alanjackson526]

Matt S Unfortunately you are wrong. In the UK a new Audi R8 V10 plus is £129000! Hence why I'm making the comparison.

[@anzes]

i smashed that like button after i heard the pop at 9:15 :D

[@robertjdm]

If you truly wanted to, I'm sure you could easily make up that 30hp and then some by a simple tune.

[@ambasadororientu]

I like the 540c's back better, looks cleaner. The 30hp diffrence is not an issuse a little tune wouldnt fix.

[@thodore1]

[@keitumetsem1344]

really really enjoyed this video

[@chrisjenkins1]

Kinda sad there wasn't a drag race. Opportunity missed?

[@WillertMorris]

love your choice in background music. LOL

[@lockedoutofaccount]

I wish we got the 540c in the usa

[@obakenglenong1864]

Where do you get such good music?

[@andyw3152]

Is the 540C aimed at people who want a more chilled out McLaren, more as an everyday driver?

[@Mexxy]

Nice vid Sam!

[@ignaciofelipe2826]

Man! That road seems dangerous👀

[@Supercarsfromeu]

Love your videos!

[@scruffywuffy8009]

FYI I think the 570 is in MSO Defined Ceramic Grey.

[@permatiasbustnes1206]

I think all the cars in this class (570s, 570gt and 540c) are way more attractive than the 675 line.

[@32wajid]

600lt though

[@francisowusu8031]

4:41 "However James is all over my bum!" Cheeky James lol, but really awesome content.

[@harrykeeping4922]

Absolutely great video

[@wildan2136]

idk the feeling of the difference in supercars but it much much different in a small hatchback

[@MrTw2009]

Great video! How does the new mclaren 720s fit in with these cars?

[@mrharri92]

@seenthroughglass WHAT A VIEDO ! one of the coolest so far for sure ! (follower since very begining) Hope you are in London on saturday ! If you could do a meet up in London on saturday it would be perfect ! i'm coming from France this week end ! thumbs up

[@scottdave28]

Wow, those blind tunnels where a little bum clenching!,

[@abdullaalmidfa6065]

Sam you're totally biased on this one, I usually agree with you on every video but i'm not sure you're totally right on this one. Im a 570 owner and ive driven the 540c many times. In the UAE, mclaren dubai has integrated many beneficial options as a combo package and has made the 570s a better moving car in terms of sales too. Theres not 1 540c thats been sold in Dubai btw.

[@massiveglove5334]

I thought the main difference between them on the road was the suspension set up?

[@MrInternFTL]

The 540 has a hatch from my knowledge

[@odenms258]

Finaly someone tell it.. i always confused to tell the difference between them..

[@timcasey52]

Great vid Sam - you looked like you were having a right laugh !!:)

[@IzzyCooks]

The 570s also has actual carbon fiber EVERYWHERE which is why is weights way less

[@73garretfields]

which would you say is more comfortable? If you had to daily one or take a 3-5 hour road trip which would you pick?

[@sgdtv1368]

Can you tell us the location of the Red Rock Road on maps would love to drive it

[@olibtommo6063]

why is the road infamous?

[@TweakedAutomotive]

Good comparison, thanks!

[@AutomotiveMike]

When does your Mc get another exhaust?

[@MrLalasd]

What is the name of that gray ... love it ..

James is just a much better and experienced driver is all
