No competition between this and the F8 in terms of driving dynamics. I had a 488 Spider before 720S Spider and the Mclaren is superior in terms of steering feel, ride, body rigidity, transmission, and in another galaxy as far as speed! The 488 was very disappointing in terms of how much flex it had in the chassis..... it’s honestly no better than other convertibles that cost 1/4 of its price and the steering has no feel compared to the Mclaren. I won’t go down the rabbit hole of discussing reliablity (mine has been pretty much perfect) or resale value that everyone immediately wants to bring up in any Mclaren review, but as far as just engineering and driving experience I don’t know how anyone could claim the Ferrari even holds a candle to the 720S.

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 bought my 650 Spider nearly 6 years ago at $219k. Current value $170k. So just over 20% in 6 years. The 911 that I had before the McLaren lost that in 2 years. Recommend you read "Competitive Strategy" by Prof Michael Porter to understand the path that McLaren have been on. The F8 is more a competitor for a McLaren 600 imo; the 720 is at least one step up, without even getting into the antique chassis/suspension and (personal opinion about) styling of the Ferrari. For those of us that actually drive these things, there's a great review in Car & Driver September 2019 as to why I'd ONLY buy a McLaren. In that incident, the car flow nearly 300 feet down a cliff and both passengers were uninjured: a floppy Ferrari with its pasta chassis would have folded after the first impact.

Great choice! Such a shame the 12C got a bashing soon after launch. I guess it wasn't quite ready for market. I did a little research before doing the video and discovered McLarens in general hold their value much better in Germany than the UK and plenty do big mileage over there too.

Has a sniff of the Zonda I think with its cab-forward silhouette - nicely proportioned too (prefer it to the Scud' and Raging Bull tbh). Nice review as ever sir.

Seatbelt Clips... They take their time designing and building a stunning car with state of the art componenets but they install really cheap looking seatbelt clips into the car.. I am so tempted to phone McLaren and ask "why?". Makes no sense at all to me .. let's hope someone has an eureka moment... Thank you for taking your time to review this car .... Excellent as always...

Not that I could afford one, I'd like to see McLaren build a light four cylinder sports car ala Lotus. Something super simple in the Elan tradition ie minimalist. And no whacky body shaping, just a simple form.
@superseven79473 жыл бұрын
Agree with you re light four cylinder sports car but I'd prefer to see Gordon Murry's new company develop an affordable light weight sports car. Instant success story!
@johnsmith14743 жыл бұрын
@@superseven7947 - There is no reason to state it would be an "instant success," nor can I see why it would be preferable to a McLaren, or least of all affordable as they don't have significant manufacturing capability. (PS The topic here is McLaren.)

I actually prefer the styling of the 720 over the f8, especially how clean the side is, f8 looks over styled now.
@Bruno-cb5gk3 жыл бұрын
I feel like almost everything they've released after the F12 has been overstyled. Ferraris just aren't beautiful anymore, they look more like hotwheels now. 720s looks so much better.
