I like that mcclaren is being super bold and daring

[@johannesmaximilian848]

They are really taking radical car design on a new level!

[@bloodydior]

When it's blacked out (on the configurator) the car looks BEAUTIFUL!

[@TheOtherNeutrino]

The design reminds me of the Zenvo ST1. Personally, I still find the old (MP4-)12C to be the best looking McLaren road car. Although it's pretty damn good from the back.

[@jackevans9406]

Trainers don't work with the suit my man

[@KopaszJack]

Shell toes go with everything ;)

[@ajosanchez1]

He probably needs them. Working the floor of a car show is really hard on your feet.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

it always worked and will work if you have money, of course

[@Nemoticon]

There are no rules as such... but wearing trainers with a suit always makes you look like a moron.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

Jeremy Stig these are poor man rules

[@z-collector7518]

Awesome design this time McLaren! I really love it. Congrats!

[@the-boring-car-guy]

It looks like it's got two black frog eyes. I love it

[@AsianNationGaming99]

at first the large eye socket is a lot to take in, but seeing the functionality and digesting the overall look has converted me. I'm in love with this design evolution already

[@BinaryReplicant]

This is a beautiful design! Polarizing for sure and it looks like nothing else on the road. Unique, efficient, exotic, and stunning.

[@sneaky_krait7271]

WOW this looks sooo good, was worth the months of waiting for sure!!!

[@V8Tomek]

The door and interior Whoaa

[@andreaszehentbauer9997]

Oh my god, it is soo beautiful!! 😍😍 Great video, man! 👍🏼

[@tyler9703]

Mr Melville, you guys really knocked it out of the park on this one, what a stunning car!

[@chicity4455]

That's an incredible machine!! Good work McLaren!!!!

[@BenJamin-rt7ui]

Wow factor. Beautifully detailed inside and out. Looks very different to the competition, which some won't like. But this a now a generation ahead

[@sgharris456]

Never been a fan of McLaren's looks until just now. This vehicle is stunning.

[@DavidGarcia-cj7gl]

wow wow wow Mclaren what a design, what a car!

[@jordanzimmerman4369]

This Chanel has been on point lately

[@yaakovha1948]

"Chris Harris mode" hahahaha! A very good one!

[@Yathuprem]

That's one nice car.. !! One question can i use that headlamp thing for towing ??

[@peter5500]

Mclaren just stepped up the game .Wow was expecting a fave lift but this is the real deal. !

[@TheDancingGamer01]

''Chris Harris Mode'' Enough said

[@recardooneal9900]

Perfect profile pic pal

[@emantabrizi]

What a stunning design! Absolutely gorgeous! Bravo, McLaren!

[@jo23bulls]

Beautiful!

[@Eyeball1980]

Wasn't sure at first but I think this is one of the best looking McLarens 👌

[@rhymeforever]

god DAMN McLaren has done it again!!! Also, looking good in the superstars bro 🤘🏼

[@itmustbelove08]

The rear end, taillights are gorgeous.

[@CrossWindsPat]

Wow I gotta say that thing is pretty amazing. Its so bonkers!!! I bet in person it really must be nuts!

[@dkpirie]

Wow that is some super car & it's beautiful.

[@ashishpatel350]

"track use only" WINK WINK. lol

[@gravit8ed]

obviously

[@sinjisdf1]

Ashish Patel except if you put a Honda engine on it.

[@ztech-consulting]

Nice Bell&Ross watch, and oh yeah the car is pretty epic also :)

[@DrPittenstein]

Impressed that they've been bold and done something original. Not to my taste in white. Reminds me of the 2000 Pontiac Trans Am. I think it will look much better in a dark colour on a dark night!

[@alasdairkerr258]

Cool mix of F1 and P1 styling cues. Right spec and I think the 720S will look stunning, particularly from the rear with that wing! 'Eye sockets' will be divisive, but I think the overall design will grow on people - not everyone was convinced with the 12C when it came out remember...

[@BurtSampson]

That folding display is pretty fucking cool. Really digging this car.

[@rumbepack]

it looks fantastic.

[@iloveqatar]

My issue is with the many gaps. While functional, I can imagine it'll be a pain to keep clean. And wrapping this is the ultimate challenge.

[@paulmorris5866]

Mclaren well done. fantastic aerodynamics integrated into the front well though out pushing the boundaries in car design a pretty car to. Wish I could stand next to one and dribble never mind drive or own one haha.

[@romancarp6427]

it looks good but slightly strange. I hope it grows on me

[@TheTmat007]

gzilladude Yeah...Its design is unique and different, especially the "eye sockets." But it is also very beautiful, in my opinion. There really isn't anything like this car on the road. And I love about it.

[@jafooli]

Did it grow on you? It grew on me, wasn't sure at first, but love it now.

[@romancarp6427]

@@jafooli yeah looks much less strange now. Yet it's very special every time I see one in person.

[@diegocabrera4322]

aerodynamic , performance body kyd and interior is just awesom, nadin miss

[@p00pie]

Many brake lights have become so beautiful in recent years.

[@MiningLegendzYT]

I dont like the headlights but the rest of the design is lovely

[@RDMracer]

Great reminder of why they called it a number. 1:13 "A brand new feature, we call it the eye socket."

[@DarthDragos]

I really do love you as a presenter, top gear is missing out!!!

[@dorianreyes2373]

extremely beautiful car

[@alexanderthyrrestrup6184]

Those headlights fucks every thing up!

[@SnakeyUk08]

Love it!

[@alec17ify]

that is one of the most beautiful cars i`ve ever seen

[@doubletee5250]

McLaren have really nailed it with the looks.

[@anshuljain8515]

I think the best thing about this car is how McLaren is unapologetically pushing its car's boundaries in terms of peformance and design.

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

people can complain all they want but in reality it probably looks better than what they drive. sexy car mcleran!

[@anotherone10]

I think the front would maybe look better if the lower half of the 'eye socket' was painted body colour

[@HilleCine]

UzzyFuzzyy A good solution indeed.

[@BomberAl123]

Agreed, but it looks a lot better with the headlights on

[@faitho]

gorgeous

[@DIINj27]

when is the facelift version of the 720s coming??? ...I HOPE SOON ENOUGH!!!

[@Tj930]

Nice work. Surrey's finest

[@benkrapf]

Car of the show, hands down. Amazing in every way.

[@jdmuscle1015]

The whole car except the front end looks amazing imo.

[@BillyHighlightPics]

I love this

[@hakuroo1]

Not sure if I can consider it beautiful, but it is incredibly interesting and different. Maybe if the Eye socket were in the same color as the other panels it would look better

[@pennfootball71]

I hope they improved the power seat controls and the reliability of the thing

[@giraffegeorge8142]

The more I see that front end, the more it's growing on me. It's still a bit funny to look at, but it looks slightly better and better.

[@imwherenow]

this car is so cool and awesome I want one

[@viniciusmacie1]

When the sport series came out I used to hate it, but now I thing it looks way better than the 650 and 675. Right now, I'm not very pleased with the 720s visual but I won't be surprised if it, in the next couple months, became to me [british car journalist accent intensifies] ~the most beautiful current McLaren~.

[@monopolybillionaire5027]

Vinícius Maciel I hated to the P1 when i first seen it, now its my favorite car ever. i dont hate this car i just wish they kept the logo lights it was "there thing" but it'll grow on me and others, usually does.

[@Ultinarok47]

Me and just about everyone else I know who has seen this car thinks it is the best looking mclaren yet and is a huge step up from the 650. We also have all liked the front. Don't know why anyone wouldn't like that aggressive and well detailed face.

[@olafurhelgason3012]

I admire your reviews been watching for many years. But regarding the suspension does it have the same hydraulic suspension as it was in the 650s , what i´m basicly asking can we expect the same ride comfort in the 720s ?

[@a_wise_young_man752]

I have owned this car. It is good bit not as good as my current car which is a heavily modified Citroen Saco. My uncle is a mechanic and he has modified the Saxo to make it faster than a Formula 1 car. It surprises many people, I must say.

[@wm462]

This is the most beautiful car I have ever seen, I will own one

[@PwnageJ]

my new dream car

[@dalevelasco9348]

Will there be a hybrid version like the p1 or an LT version of this car??

[@devilgames2217]

LOVE IT

[@Supercarsfromeu]

This is by far the best looking Mclaren of all! This is the definition of carp*rn!!! Hell Yeah!! Those looks and detailss damnn!!

[@C42ST3N]

To my eye the fronst never looks worse. The front of the 750 was way better.

[@15Kosta]

570*

[@Gungarr]

True this front isn't that good. The back on the other hand omg i love it x)

[@CammieGee]

Best looking McLaren since the F1

[@kraenk12]

Just sooo sad the again messed up the front! The rest is really nice

[@na4tocka325]

This somehow reminds me of the F1, when you are looking it from the center front especially the frunk area.

[@MrInternetDude]

Wow what a car

[@Jmansummers]

Why so much hate, beautiful and functional...

[@kyleeaton2717]

They're gettin better lookin.

[@chbrules]

Except those damn headlight. Ugh.

[@jpracingph]

If you think that's good looking, I'd hate to see your girlfriend or wife.

[@KPKonliner]

And ferraris are getting ugly.

[@timmietz]

KZbinKZbin you're right. This new 812 is it humungous disappointment!

[@HypnOlli]

If you mean the trainers with that suit...Almost as good combo as those headlights with that car...Just NO!

[@geriatricmotorcars9516]

McLaren , keap it up chaps , taking it to the Wops ' cutting edge tech ' proving that industry in the UK is flourishing ' proud Englishman ...

[@Jovaunmyers]

Hate the head lamps, look at his shoes tho lol

[@shoutykat]

I kind of like the front end treatment. There's a sort of Jack Skellington vibe there. I just wish they'd got someone from a department other than marketing to talk about it.

[@RoshanTorcy]

Seems this new design is quite a polarizing one among people. Some seem to hate it but I personally think it looks super mean, would look like a damn xenomorph if it were in shiny black. Must say, it does look quite elegant in this white too. :D

[@gothops154]

All I can think about is how much snow and leaves and even rain will fall into that huge gap in the door in the real world

[@simp2234]

Nice shoes

[@caleb180]

It always amazes me how much more exotic companies can do with 700+ hp when compared to companies like dodge

[@TomHenksYT]

"The biggest story, though, is its new twin-scroll turbochargers. Now that's something not even the P1 got" - yeah, but BMW puts twin-scroll turbos on every car they make, even the 1series comes with a twin-scroll turbo. Point being, twin-scroll turbos aren't groundbreakingly new or super exotic. Still, I like the new design a lot better than the old one and I'm looking forward to see what this beast can do!

[@Gitohandro]

I wish the infotainment screen was landscape rather than portrait

[@bulok69]

that all looks good and all but where's the cup holder?

[@Lax10000000]

So is this in between the LT and the P1?

[@juanvelez5699]

can someone explain me the Mclaren line up...

[@inchskater]

The front reminds me a bit of the Zenvo

[@voidgivenfocus]

Is this the fabled p14 then?

[@jl1rp]

The eye sockets kill it.

[@beau2047]

What's up with the angle of that mclaren interface stuff

[@monopolybillionaire5027]

Beau Braekeveld Its probably for shade from the sun on the interface. but im with you the angle looks strange.

[@Valks-22]

i can't get over all the new hyper/super/regular performance cars going for digital displays instead of classic analog dials. partially why i love the porsches with all the dials galore it just ruins the interior sure it's probably a bit more accurate and on the cars such as the LFA more purposeful but nothing makes my heart skip like the dials doing the full range when starting and seeing it climb and climb rather than pixels going blue-red and jumping about.

[@abhishetty2637]

i dont get the slight hate on the looks , i love it , it doest look like the others in the line

[@alexandruf9408]

The rear is Flawless. Much better than the P1, almost as sexy as the LaFerrari!

[@benim3166]

but the laferrari is ugly

[@lewis7987]

fucking insane. haven't been this excited about a car sine hyper 3. ferrari and lambo are going to have to step it up big time

[@youtubezone7074]

how about the aerodynnamics ?

[@SaganNotPagan]

"how do you feed air without side vents?" just keep the side vents. not keen on the lights/eyes, and the side looks a little bland but the rest is lovely and I'll bet it's incredible to drive.

[@leinadem2]

It looks and sound amazing; However I would go for the new GT3. It would feel kind of weird driving that car daily, that it is a weekend or track car; Imaging a manual GT3 on the canyon.

[@galenchen1591]

what a good ET like

[@COMMANDERHAWK22]

im not a fan of mclarens designs but this thing is very nice inside and out.
