McLaren 750S review - as good as it gets?

[@carlrea]

Sutcliffe is right up there with the very best road testers and is under utilised imo. His grasp of car control and how he relays that info across to viewers is astonishing. Let's have more of him please. Car is epic by the way.

[@deldridg]

I fully agree with your statement. I've long been a fan of Steve Sutcliffe, largely because he is clearly the real deal, has personality and a good sense of humour - and as you say, his ability to convey the full driving picture to the viewer is really second to none. I'm also a bit old school in my driving tastes - ie. no lines of code overriding my inputs thank you very much! For some years I got my raw driving pleasure from a 964 (which I foolishly sold in 2007), nowadays, I get it from my superbike. Cheers - Dave

Please don’t come and comment “it’s just another 720S” then go praise the GT3RS. Both McLaren and Porsche are entitled to improve on what was once considered perfection. Just be happy these manufacturers are still willing to produce these cars in an ever hybrid/EV pressured industry for one last hurrah.

[@GeordieAmanda]

Yay, more Steve please. Superb video as always. Great content, the world's finest road tester and lovely videography :)

[@ZondaF355]

Steve is such a legend. He has brought up this generation of truly skilled auto reviewers including Mr. Harris and Bovington to name a few. I personally would love to see POV footage of Mr. Sutcliffe ripping a 750S down a B road with the leash let off fully and no talking necessary. Such a highly skilled individual and his Mclaren F1 GTR video is one of the best ever made. Epic and thank you for your work sir

[@gonncalomariamonteiro4176]

The cinematography is just off the charts... Bravo!!! Steve never disapoints, the "GOAT" for all that I care. Cheers and keep it up!

[@drzoidbergmd3200]

What a great video and the car is sensational too. In an age of tedious drag race videos its great to see Steve on a proper track

[@anthonystevens8683]

Not only are these 'old school' super cars brilliant but the presentation, production and editing are just epic.

[@DonLee1980]

On the same tires, the 720s was actually faster than the 765lt around the track. The 765lt was a rocketship but had nowhere as good of balance and handling. I suspect the 750s probably has the 765lt engine but just call it 750s to not upset those who paid the premium just like what they did with the 570s and McLaren 12C. It had every bit as much power as the 612PS 12C but just called it less to say it’s more entry level. The 750s will be mighty on track

[@SauloMogi]

How about the quality, have they improved it

[@milootje007]

The 720s looks a lot better imo. I can't pinpoint what it is but i'm not really crazy about this one..

[@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines]

It’s the coloured front bumber where’s the 720 was black or mesh. I like this now after seeing it a few times! I remember thinking the 720s looked odd 6 years ago at launch! I now think it’s the most beautiful timeless design ever created!

It won’t though! I’d guess the straight line speed will be near identical. 750s will probably pull midrange as the 765lt does and that has more drag than this! Was there any factual thought processing going on when you wrote this comment? Or was it born out of pure fanboyism?

SS is da man! TBH, not a fan of the McLaren design/style. Front end and rear lights always look like an insect. The dash looks like a kit car? Questionable reliability, poor resale values, & too few dealers are also a big negative for me… performance is immense- no argument there. At the end of the day, I chose an Italian brand over McLaren. YMMV/Cheers/B

How much is Steve getting paid by Mclaren to give this review🧐🧐🧐. It’ll break just like every other Mclaren before it 😂

[@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines]

Interestingly here in the UK Porsche had the most warranty claims per vehicle last year! Absolutely crushing McLaren…. McLarens were not nearly as bad! They had a lot of issues in 2020 due to over production and many just sitting for months unsold which is never good for a car. Macs suffer from mostly annoying little issues but rarely spectacular engine failures like Porsche have been famed for. Sure the odd KZbinr has had issues after chipping a Mac to 900 odd hp and thinking it will still be as reliable…

[@paulshepherd8295]

​@pevvex4452 You're getting your definition wrong. Things have moved on, and the likes of Pagani, Bugatti, Koenigsegg and certain niche models from Ferrari, Lambo, etc. are now classed as hypercars. The 'standard' models from McLaren, Ferrari, Lambo, etc. are classed as supercars, and that's the category the 750S falls into. This is from the JD Power website: 'In terms of performance, hypercars have higher top speeds than supercars. In general, supercars can reach 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 200 miles per hour, while hypercars can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than 3.0 seconds and a top speed of over 200 to 300 miles per hour. In terms of exclusivity, both supercars and hypercars are limited in production. However, hypercars are rarer than supercars. The production units of hypercars can range from as low as 1 to 1,000, while that of supercars exceeds 1,000 units.' It goes on to talk about purchase price, insurance, etc., but hopefully you get the point.
