McLaren 675LT Spider MSO Carbon Series - Driving the best McLaren EVER !

[@borinvlogs]

675LT is just an amazing supercar and this is car i used as a example just a few days ago when i was talking to the guys in the Porsche group about GT4 RS. For me this GT4 RS is not worth the price tag they are asking over £250k and Porsche said 7000 units of them will be built so it's hardly a limited edition model compared to really exclusive car like 675LT only 500 of them were built. Rather go for the McLaren 675LT Spider on used market for the same price of the most expensive Cayman. No contest imo.

[@PetrolPed]

[@MW-uy3np]

I traded my gt4 rs in on a 675 LT Spider with 1600 miles. And boy am I happy I did. This car is a lifer for me.

[@trev8591]

Love the "whip-cracks"! I love McLarens because they're not just a thing of beauty, but the engineering behind them. Stunning things.

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@mikejf4377]

That road is very beautiful country side.

[@PetrolPed]

Sure is 👍

[@henryhol8538]

You are right, this is the best of the modern McLarens! For decades we have been waiting for a british manufacturer to take the fight to the Italians; now we have one.

[@TheTmat007]

All McLaren LT cars are great driving machines. To me, the 765LT is even better.

[@timphillips4147]

That's a car and some Pete!!! Picking up the details fine with 4k 65 inch tv Pete 📺

[@PetrolPed]

Great to know 👍

[@MrRoyck10]

The 675LT sound truly insane under full load plus it’s spectacular design and performance to match, thanks Pete I really enjoyed this content please keep them coming!

Such a great down to earth not over the top video of a stunning car! Yes all the big youtube supercar owners are great but there is an honesty and plesent vibe in your video Pete! Thankyou for that you deserve big viewer's so you can afford a car like this! Dont change a thing just be yourself! God bless all🙏❤

Much appreciated!

[@frasermacleod7642]

Absolutely awesome Peter 👏🏻 What an utterly stunning car, I’m sure that in the flesh it’s as breathtaking as it looks in the video. The sheer craftsmanship that’s gone into making it, the carbon weave and paintwork are utterly beautiful. Definitely one of the best 😍👌🏻👍🏻

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers mate 👍

Brilliant car, brilliant overview, loved it when the camera showed full image with you as a small caption in the corner of the film, it made me feel I was sitting next to you and it appears visibility is fantastic …. Stunning car for sure AND ITS BRITISH…

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for the feedback 👍

[@alasdairwilson4806]

Stunning car and well driven as always.Cars like this should be out and driven so congrats to the owner for doing this.Love the colour too.

[@PetrolPed]

I agree 👍

[@ianbanister2027]

Had the opportunity over the years to drive an MP4-12C & a couple of 570s (an S & a GT) on road & track through work & thought they all drove well for their period. They were all spacious & well designed. I always had concerns about quality in the long term though and found signs of wear & tear as McLaren didn't have the experience of manufacturing daily road cars. No doubt as time has moved on they have improved somewhat, I haven't experienced one recently but that one looks amazing...... the colour lacquered exposed carbon is a work of art. 👌🏻

[@1BLUEMEANIE]

A very special car great review all you needed was a dry road with no speed limits 😉

[@ianmcwilliams6453]

Lovely car, lovely road - need to find that one myself!

[@dangreasley7934]

What a car, proper cool there fella. I know the road you were on at the start of the video out of Newbury and across the M4. Some very good bends and twists but a few good straights. Very tempting to go over the speed limit which I'm sure you didn't do!

[@PetrolPed]

It is and I did not 😜😂

[@gruffyddweston505]

Nice video, still really enjoying your content a few years down the line. The balance of driving footage and solo journalisic comment, devoid of any unecessary attention seeking or forced horseplay is fine by me. Enjoy your experiences because you are living the dream of many a petrolhead- oh and have a lovely christmas and peaceful new year.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks mate. Kind of you to say and great to hear. Have a good one yourself 👍

[@briangriffiths114]

I recall you driving a McLaren in unexpected snowy conditions a couple of years ago and was amazed how well it coped with normal motoring.

[@PetrolPed]

[@stefanedmeades4298]

Odd to think that a car that’s so old can be considered to be the best McLaren road car ever made. Hopefully the Artura has inherited some of the 675LT’s dna. It’s about time McLaren had a return to form!! Great video Pete.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks chap 👍

[@johngoodall7097]

Peter I run my I pad through my smart tv on vivid so when you said maybe the colour might not show up well but it is superb and the detailed. What a cheap car at half a million!!! Fntastic video and you are privileged and so are we so thank you so much👍👍👍🚘🚘🚘🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Great video. That road you "came to find" is my daily commute. I don't have a McLaren, but it's a lovely bit of road in my MX-5!

[@PetrolPed]

I bet 👍

[@HQBProductions]

Peter…another of your best reviews…clear feelings of what the car is like to drive and live with. Maybe time for that lottery ticket! My only reservation with McLaren is that some owners are not as good as the cars…a neighbour is going far in the football World but drives a Fiesta ST…his footballer friend arrives in a 570S but looks far from happy in it…I think they prefer the Fiesta! Well…I doubt I will have to worry about deciding if I can afford it, but if I do, your film will have helped! 😃😃😃😃Richard.

Hi Pete. Not really a MK man but l would have this in a jiffy!! Beautiful car. Cheers, John.

[@philipparkes5682]

Hi Ped Taking into account the limited time available to you with this car, you certainly produced an excellent video. The close up hand held camera shots captured the carbon detail and the fantastic colour. Great looking car and soundtrack to due for. Like yourself I will have to wait for the lottery numbers to come true, before even contemplating a purchase in this price league. Now to be controversial, I would be very nervous in buying such a car, with the current financial shape of McClaren (note recent sale of further assets from the car collection) . The engineering and design skills cannot be questioned, but some aspects of the dealership network and customer service could be improved.😥

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@seanausten758]

Excellent video as always buddy. Much like the GT4 vid, you looked like you were enjoying it far too much!! Amazing car. Phenomenal craftsmanship from the team at Mclaren and MSO. £500k?!?

[@seanausten758]

It's certainly one of, if not the best Mclarens ever made

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 👍

[@fishtigua]

Ahh...Pete, you jammy git. That's on my Lotto List of cars. I think all men have a mental list of the perfect garage, that's very near the top. A perfect road on an autumnal day in the English countryside, proper wobbly-knee stuff.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep. It would be in my dream line up 👍

[@guylambrechts2303]

Looks very special in this blue with black wheels. Luckily I can't afford one, my neighbors would hate me for the noise. Huge amount of respect to you for sharing this!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 👍

[@johnbrown3951]

Now that is a car and that exhaust is unbelievable and on a sunny day that is just perfection. I have never driven or owned a soft top, but if they made an i-Pace soft top I could be converted but that is unlikely to happen, unless of course you count taking the roof panels and back end of a SWB Freelander which I only ever did once. Far too much hastle and not cool in the countryside.

Thank you for a great video and beautiful car, did you conclude it is the best Mclaren or do you prefer the 765LT?

[@PetrolPed]

Not driven one yet. Awesome things no doubt but I think it might be too much 🤔

[@gazzabrownhigh8891]

Have both and 675LT spider still pulls my heart strings every time. 765 is newer and faster but for my driving skills that extra is not accessible on a public road

[@davidw5662]

Thank you for your replies, it seems like less is more - for the road anyway 😀

[@vintermussen]

everybody says that a Ferrari or a Lambo or AMG´s are the most beautiful cars in the world - BUT hands down McLaren IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL i would cut of both my arms just to drive one ;-)

[@PetrolPed]

I agree 👍

[@funkychucker]

Hi Ped, another great review. Always look forward to your latest content. I treated myself to a 675LT spider when I sold my business, fantastic car. Recently sold my 765LT spider which I have to say having had all the cars you can name sub £500K is by far and away the best car I’ve ever driven. Try get yourself a drive in one, you won’t believe how good it is. Decided to move it on sadly as I’m not convinced McLaren Automotive will survive too much longer. Keep the great videos coming.

[@PetrolPed]

Would love to try a 765LT 👍

[@jameswillard1]

@funkychucker can you comment on how 765 competes with 675?

[@funkychucker]

@@jameswillard1 first off the 765 is significantly quicker. Haven’t seen any real world performance tests that compare them but the 765 is without doubt on another level. The acceleration felt bonkers. Noticeably quicker than any other car I’ve owned (Pista and 992 Turbo included) but it’s the ease of driving that really stands out, more comfortable than the 675 and generally easier manoeuvring it in everyday traffic. Both ride and handling are massively improved over the 675 so you can move at speed with more confidence. The cabin feels roomier in the 765. Easier getting in and out the car as it doesn’t have the huge side sill that you have in the 675. That was a pain in the arse, literally! I’m well over 6 foot and I always felt I was sat up too high in the 675. Still an amazing place to be but a little cramped for me compared to the 765. Overall the 765 is a much more complete car. I thoroughly enjoyed the 675 and have some great memories of my time with it but would never choose one over a 765. The 765 does absolutely everything better than the 675 and feels less intimidating at the same time. Personally, having owned most and driven virtually every sub £500k supercar I believe the 765LT is the most complete and smile inducing car you can buy…………. just tread carefully and don’t buy one without a full extended McLaren warranty and a big bank balance.

[@jameswillard1]

@@funkychucker thanks for taking the time to write that review 🙏 I currently have a 675LT Spider that I purchased a fairly short time ago but was wondering how much better the 765 could be but you helped answer that. Thanks again!

[@funkychucker]

@@jameswillard1 my pleasure. Hope you enjoy the 675LT Spider. Have some fantastic memories of mine (volcano orange with full gloss carbon including the rear wing). Always an event driving it and a massive head turner. A very special car, enjoy every minute of it 👍

Both the 675 & 765LT's are proper McLarens for SuperCars, are great for sub £450K or so depending on Spec. I'd have either with a Lotto Win too. P1 & Speedtail are awesome too, but these 2 are in a different League.

Beautiful car but if it's anything other Mclaren cars, it will start to fall apart in 3000 miles or less. The interior quality and finish is not on par with Ferrari and it won't be worth anything like the value of the Ferrari if you want to sell it.

[@bispal]

Had mine 3 years and 10k miles and nothing has gone wrong. Quality is way better than the Ferrari I owned. Not that it matters but 675LT values have been increasing around 25% in past year and hardly any availability. I know most of the UK owner's and there are barely any issues with the 675LT, its a quality car snd the owners use them, unlike most Ferrari's

[@andrewdent696]

@Paul Lewis very good, enjoy, but I'd still have the Ferrari if it was my money. My opinion.

[@bispal]

@@andrewdent696 I would like to know what experience you are using to base your statement on that the quality is not on par with a Ferrari? My Ferrari interior melted, my dash started peeling, my interior leaked and my wings started corroding. My 675LT has been faultless and the interior very robust.
