McLaren 750s vs 720s Review: Head To Head Battle! | Driven+

CORRECTION: McLaren 750s has 740hp not 730hp. Apologies for the mistake.
We’ve finally got our hands on the McLaren 750s! And this time we put it up against a 720s, so you can see what’s visually changed.
It’s only really when you put them side by side you can tell the difference considerably!
A big thanks to Andy for bringing his 720s on screen.
Were you expecting that much of a sound difference?! I wasn’t either!

750s all day long..not much of an upgrade but it sounds sooooo much better

[@DrivenPlus]

Totally agree! Sound is an incredible difference

[@lorenzomar9669]

Had two 720Ss including more recently a spider. Also had a 765LT spider and now a 750S spider. The 750 is much closer to the 765 than the 720S. Sounds better, steers better, turns better, quicker rack, much better user interface, and car play! It is a worthwhile upgrade.

750s sounds better. Never thought the 720s sounded particularly good, but the 750s is nice

[@1bluensx]

I have a 720s spyder, and LOVE it. My favorite car ever owned. My 911 turbo a very close second. That said. The 750 is awesome, like the rear wing, and the sound, but not enough difference for me to trade in the 720s. I also like the dash in the 720s a lot better.

[@rookinred]

Trust me if it’s just a trade in get it. It’s like a quality of life update on the car plus the exhaust sounds so much better.

[@1bluensx]

@@rookinred really? Now you’ve got me curious.

[@rookinred]

@@1bluensx you get like better interface apparently. Tighter steering new wing better sounding exhaust and someone said it’s closer to being 765 lt than 720s but idk.

[@rookinred]

@@1bluensx dont take my word too seriously as i dont even have a car myself but if you consider trading in it might feel different so be careful for a while as a lot of McLaren owners crash their cars quite frequently.

[@johnnyboy1586]

It's crazy that an average joe with little driving experience can go an buy a car like this!😮that's of course if he can afford said car

[@cccspwn]

ngl, I think the 720s looks better

[@Hunnan_111]

Bruh

[@chillout1109]

Maybe it's because the 720S is a coupe. The coupe looks sleeker. If the 750S was a coupe too, they would probably look the same.

[@kiwidan2271]

Agree.

[@jmfangio286]

I don't agree, but neither of them looks bad!

[@JRally6]

Excellent vid. Hope you get to do another one in better weather conditions

[@DrivenPlus]

Thank you! We will definitely get another one soon!

[@denalidriven1574]

750 sounds nuts.

[@antwonrichardson9324]

😮 i will have one of them by next year and incant wait🤴🏽🙏🏽💯 love both,but you can't go wrong with either one👍🏽

[@mackenner956]

I have a 720S spider so I'm probably biased, but the 720S wins it in the looks department - it's basically perfect. Love the deeper sound of the 750 though, wondering if they both had the sport exhaust upgrade?

[@visualdon]

Launch control is not complicated on both cars I don't know why spent so long on that, I guess it was just a joke? But I have a 720s and the 750 has the same launch. You need to be in active driving mode, with the Power and Handling set to at least sport (the middle position on the switch) Then with foot firmly on brake, press launch button and which will then tell you to apply full throttle, the car revs up for about 2-3 seconds until it says "boost ready" and then you release brake and and off you go. If you do this one time its easily repeatable in under 5 seconds every time. It can be aborted a number of ways. 1. Remove foot off brake if you had not applied throttle yet. This will reset and you can start again. 2. If you remove foot off throttle (with foot still on brake) after boosting, it will stop the launch and you can try again. 3. If the throttle wasn't fully pressed the car will not build enough boost abort the launch and acutally go into neutral. You will then have to go back into drive mode before trying again. 4. If you keep boosting without releasing the brake the car will also stop reving and it will abort the launch, you have about a 2-3 second window after "boost ready" to release brake otherwise the car will abort for you.

The battery life scale seems taken from Nigel Tufnel in Spinal Tap. "27 is fully charged". "But it is only half full". "This scale goes to 27".

[@francisgallozzi2595]

It's hard to believe that the rear view camera quality is still so bad.

[@sebastianjo752]

I would get the 720s just because of the cool screen😂

[@maroundib5627]

Very true if there was a way to get the screen of 720 to 750 then 750 buttttt 720 is just better for me

[@paulmichael3844]

The McLaren F1 will always be my no.1

[@marktech2378]

Beautiful cars

[@DrivenPlus]

Glad you like them!

[@jerryeriksson1687]

Is it worth the extra money though compared to a 720? Im struggling with that.

[@DrivenPlus]

You can only compare each other for the price they were when new. But you can pick up 2 720s for the price of a 750 in todays market…

[@user-ih2xd8yn4l]

No of course, today best price on 720S !!!!!!!

[@eliotbuffoni639]

Hahaha was laughing in the first 5 seconds

[@lknanml]

The 720s looks better than the 750.... All the 750 has is that exhaust note.. Sounds REALLY good. The 750 looks like it came before the 720.. Exterior wise it's the 720 all the way. Rear End looks better. I like both dash designs but have to pick 720 because moving the tracton controls to the dash left the center infotainment screen looking like a 1990s Compaq pda next to three elevator buttons. It looks REALLY REALLY cheap. They went too simple to the point of MEH..... The performance difference just doesn't matter. I will NEVER be able to run the cars hard enough to notice it. I've been to a TON of tracks with cars and bikes to know I run out of talent before the cars and bikes run out of performance. I thought the 765lt was going in the right direction. I was 100% expecting the 750 to follow that design. For me I would pick the 765lt then the 720s then a Huracan.... LOL I hope it's replacement comes out swinging with the 750 being a lackluster send off for ICE only models. Thanks for the vid!

[@TheTmat007]

People say McLarens don't sound good. They do, to me! Both these cars sound better than a 911 (992) Turbo S, in my opinion. And as to which sounds better in this comparison video, I think it's the 750S.

[@user-vk7vm5yx5b]

How did they f up the battery part?

[@DrivenPlus]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@user-vk7vm5yx5b]

@@DrivenPlus this is why I never bought one. I went to Louwmans here in The Netherlands twice to consider a 720s but I never pushed through. I ended up with a 992 turbo s instead just because of the build quality and, well… these kind of stupidities McLaren always have.

[@tro3y]

Drive one and thoughts of the turbo s will fade quickly away, everything is forgiven when your behind the wheel or a McLaren😀

[@user-vk7vm5yx5b]

@@tro3y maybe true, but I am not like those guys who can buy tens of great cars. I had a budget for one car in this segment and I took the reliability over fun, while the Turbo S is fun as well.

I used to love McLaren’s. But with the poor build quality, reliability issues & their biggest downfall is that all of them look the same, with slightly more power than the previous models.

lol good thing using 2 exactly similar and same painted cars.
