Should I Buy a McLaren 720S? | GARAGE

Should I buy a McLaren 720S? Well it may be a cliché title for a KZbin video but actually it's quite significantly of interest to me. I do not intend to sell my McLaren 675LT Spider any time soon but I am rather interested in experiencing more with the latest car in the Super Series, the 720S. What do you think?
We know that the McLaren 720S is extraordinarily fast, faster even than the 675LT, but through all of the magnificent technology and remarkable new features, there's something that doesn't entirely grab the heart strings at this stage. During a visit to McLaren's Tour in Scotland, I jumped behind the wheel of a 720S to have a second drive and get some more thoughts together about it.
Thanks for watching, Tim

[@CeleryBruh]

Shmee150 yes is my simple answer

[@Rohit-3]

yaaa shmee 👍

[@zombyoli3681]

Looks amazing but too similar imo

[@jappy53]

Shmee150 entirely your decision man, if you enjoy the driving experience and you could see yourself with living with one. I say why not if you are as impressed as you are! 👍🏻

[@madshagenclausen7933]

YEEEEEEES SHMEE DO IT!

[@kerenbanget6565]

just wait for LT version...

[@danielohara2915]

keren banget I agree

[@Shmee150]

I suspect McLaren will not give LT allocations to people who didn't own a normal 720S

[@ermalmorina7261]

Shmee150 that was my guess,so for that reaso only,you should definitely buy it.And it looks amazing imo...

[@randomguyfrominterwebster]

Shmee150 i think you could have some advantage because amount of mclarens you owned previously and still own one

[@srikarvundavalli5934]

Shmee150 But you owned almost all of their other product line. So ask them for that

[@DigitalCarAddict]

You don't have to ask KZbin. We all know you are Shmee lol.

[@jesusmallen397]

@Don DoDat shhh, stop crying

[@TivonSanders]

lol

[@checoutthatrearend986]

@Don DoDat chill

[@ole0510]

What the hell ist the windscreen wiper doing? xD

[@nomnomcupcakes]

2:00 "no parking" sign on the left

[@danielohara2915]

I think you should wait for the LT

[@shubanbhatcar1459]

Dan O'Hara he probably has to buy a 720s to get an allocation for the lt

[@benfarrow2111]

McLaren stated to be allocated an LT you need the 720s which is a ball ache

[@jamiesmith3596]

Dan O'Hara I

[@tmat04]

Dan O'Hara Why?

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Well he had no problem getting allocated a Senna and Ford saw fit to allocate a Ford GT. INFLUENCE opens a lot of doors.

[@bnastali]

This is a MUST BUY! I'd love to see you go across Europe in it.

[@iamDave0071]

For how long do you have to own the 720s in order to be able to get the LT-version in a few years?

[@Vollgasmus7]

This is such a cool car

[@meenalmunshi9488]

Noooooooooo Please place an order for the LT version of it

[@Spaaxy]

I think you should! It looks so clean, love ur vids man ❤️

[@001mrjam]

Love it!! wait for an exclusive series etc.

[@Clover-db2sw]

The 720s' wipers are abit weird

[@timmo3351]

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. They seemed a bit 'jerky'?

[@WoolyBuggerPicker]

I was shocked when they came on, certainly a shed load of gangly obstruction.

[@Kxji]

Still better than the Countach 😂

[@MikiCentury]

Heard the news of McLaren testing like the hardcore version of the HS, but wrapped in one of those camos where you can't see the true shape. But it has a crazy wing, almost looks like a 650 GT3.

[@jordanowens5455]

AWESOME videos Tim. I watch your videos almost every day. Keep it up! Youre A BEAST. Cheers!

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

jordan owens hes a beast?! What are you on about??

[@QuickshiftCars]

Did anyone else notice the 'No Parking' sign at 2:00? The one that's right next the where the 720S is parked?

[@Oldcasiocollector]

Sirpalmtree ....and...

[@danzhangmagic]

Huge fan of yours, but I really think this topic is getting a little bit redundant in your channel

[@RA9gaymore]

Very repetitive You can tell that the youtube money stream is drying up

[@joeywarman]

Agreed.

[@tomhawkey-soar]

agreed!!

[@Jorich196]

It's how Alot of top KZbin's are becoming

[@thomasbailey4139]

He has so many cars it doesn't make sense. Doesn't make sense how he makes any profit with the insane taxes over there. What was the point of the vanquish?!?

[@4wheelsonmywagon733]

Where's Chris Harris when you need him?

[@Kxji]

Trapped with Top Gear.

[@MrJackben32]

When you said let's be careful in the rain I thought you would've Just floored it =)

[@WhatHappensIfIDoThis]

Did you say "firmin it"? Just joking with you, great video!! Keep em coming.

[@samirisaacyuh2248]

No P1 Starboy edition

[@rasmusdimberg7459]

The weeknd has that one

[@kennsski]

Please buy an SLS Black Series in the mean time and wait for the LT version of this

[@earthstick]

Question is weather the spider or the LT version will come out first?

[@iamsideswipe]

Don’t know if it’s true but isn’t bhp the horsepower measured at the crank and ps or hp is measured at the wheel?

[@lsjess4147]

Nope wait for the lt version or whatever it's going to be called

[@alexevenson8435]

Wait for the 720LT

[@JohnSmith-xs4fq]

Do you have any weeks without asking if you should buy a car or a video about a car you just bought also wait for an lt version

[@shiznuts]

'Needs an exhaust system'... :P Otherwise, pretty cool car! Just now that autumn is upon us, I'd be very worried about scooping out leafs and twigs from all those ducts and openings and such. Or maybe the idea is that you accelerate soooo fast that they won't stay there for long. xD

[@domonkoskiss5952]

At the monent you dont need it... you should wait for the LT

[@MK-fy3hf]

Your LT is better because... 1. it's a spider 2. it's more special 3. it looks better 4. it sounds better 5. too many youtubers have one (mrjww, tgi) Althought the 720s is a nice car

[@TheTmat007]

First of all "looks," is subjective, my friend. Not everyone will agree with you that the LT Spider looks better. Secondly, why does "looks" have to matter so much? I, mean, this a SUPER CAR.....People buy it for its PERFORMANCE. Are you considering buying a super car just to admire its "looks," or to help you feel better about yourself? Just asking!

[@MK-fy3hf]

Tyran Mathurin for me, the look and the sound of a car is the most important thing, of course the Performance has to be good as well.

[@TheTmat007]

Max Kayser Well, that's you. And I respect your opinion and choice. But, for me, It is the performance of a car that really matters. And I don't judge according to "looks." Why? Because the looks of an object (and even that of another human-being) can't really do anything for me.

[@jesusmallen397]

@@TheTmat007 don't buy a super car then, buy a evo tuned and that's it

[@mikev6046]

Tim, from my perspective, if you like Drama, that's what your GT8 is for. The 720s is for the bloke working on Downing street who wants to peacock with his doors up. Great car, but too redundant in your garage.

[@peterbalint311]

Is it possible to get it as a long time loaner?

[@94mikyyy]

From mp412c just a few years ago, to this. What a great company because they don't have cheap cars to make money like VW AG, nor rich history of road cars like Ferrari, but anyway they make as good cars or even better than Ferrari or Porsche. Mclaren has my big respect but I would never buy it 😁

[@TheMpofu]

Really hate the cheap click from the shift paddles

[@dirkleineweber]

How does the 360 Camera works? With sattelites? 👀

[@mikestone7551]

I like the shapes and the aggression of the body and I like the performance numbers but what is that exhaust note? Not the same passion as the exterior suggests. My bet is the LT will be awesome.

[@Chemari-zv7jy]

2:00 no parking , mmmmm Shmee you naughty boy

[@Keepyourfootdown]

shmee if you don't get that 720s in blue you are fake shmee

[@atvatedzone154]

Hey would you be able to do a test drive of the new lotus Evora GT430 sport ?

[@mikolajberesniewicz6943]

No Sports Exhaust option on the Mac720? I'm surprised, a lot of people complained about the lack of sound.

[@Teamshmo]

Obviously don't buy it. That is one thing I like about you is you actually use your brain in buying things. These other KZbin guys buy whatever they feel like and lose insane amounts of money on it. You at least actually think about it being a good or bad decision first.

[@pherron7471]

Team Shmo He rarely loses money on cars. He explains how he does it in an older video.

[@Teamshmo]

Ya, I know. That is what I am saying lol

[@SynergyShade]

720s more like 720yes.

[@lilsquid5405]

What do u do to just buy all these new cars??

[@darrenlingham8714]

Your conclusion is spot on!

[@BozoMedia]

I'd bypass it, amg gtr will bridge the gap something else will come along

[@PHOENIXxImPaCt]

The simple answer is no. Although the 720S is incredible! Wait for the LT version of the 720S, im sure it will be mind-blowing!

[@MonaichFother]

The Mc doesn't excite me, he's be better going for a Arrinera Hussarya, yeah like your saying a Hussarya? Wow?!? See?

[@benfarrow2111]

What you and most people don't understand is that mclaren is only allocating the LT version to people who have bought a 720s. If that wasn't the case I'm sure he would just do as you said and wait till the LT version is released

[@Navagiasostis]

Ben Farrow Not true, James(Mr JWW) got his LT without owning a 650s or any other McLaren. Maybe you are talking about the P1 GTR, that was only available to P1 owners

[@kshitijkhaladkar1200]

last time i was this early...tim was still driving 650s cheers on the good content

[@Shmee150]

Haha, a few McLarens since then!

[@kshitijkhaladkar1200]

+Shmee150 and u keep getting better and better everyday...keep up...one of ur biggest fans.. m hooked to ur videos..plz dnt ever stop

[@Shmee150]

Thank you so much for the support

[@nicholasrampersad1820]

What's wrong with the wiper blades? With the stuttering at the end.

[@thugnasty8400]

No don't. But it would be cool to see an LT version on this channel. Although I imagine Mclaren will be like Ferrari where they will take orders from 720s owners first.

[@zzzozzz3516]

no.

[@leecheeseman5900]

Hi Tim, Is there any way you could make your 675LT more insane? Something like that 1200bhp 570s.... in an LT? That way you can keep the sound + open top fun! :-)

You do need a daily driver, most of the cars you have are track focused so maybe this and the new e pace to replace the ff the focus the virage and the mini. This will get you a couple of cars to take the brunt of the miles for the exotics

[@AshwinKrishnanAK]

Essentially it's a Mclaren Turbo S

[@stubones]

Yeah its AWD. Amazing huh?

[@AshwinKrishnanAK]

You get what I mean.

[@benmiller3882]

Its actually RWD at least I’m pretty sure it is

[@sohaibshaikh9607]

Buy it then sell it when the LT comes out. That way you'll get an allocation too

[@truthseeker8483]

and lose the maximum amount of money....

[@sohaibshaikh9607]

TRUTH SEEKER He has money. Its just about allocations for the LT. And he won't be losing much anyway

[@151kenny]

love the 720S and love the Gleneagles Hotel as well where it was shot, just up the road from me.

[@staticfitment9489]

Lots of people say it will be depreciate is that true?

[@tigerkitty7371]

please dont buy a mclaren ;( they look cool but their sound is just awful and everyone has them get something more special

[@randomguyfrominterwebster]

Tigerkitty so he should instead buy something like huracan or 488 ferrari....... whata special car it would be

[@jasonandrsen]

äfzet It's More Powerful Than Both Cars.. In Fact It's More Powerful Than The Aventador LP 700-4..

[@ansasif3997]

Before watching video. My opinion is Yes you should.

[@Dingo_JS19]

Same

[@chriszecca1884]

have yo had any service /mechanicals issues with any of your mclaren's? heard horror stories

[@CaptainMir]

This car is the best but where do you get the £ from

[@TGE]

Nope 🌚🌊

[@Shmee150]

Haha xD

[@alanbutterfield8057]

Shmee150 agreed

[@TGE]

Shmee150 😅😅😅😏

[@cromulentparty]

xD xD xD hahahahahaha good joke!!! xD xD xD

[@HammerRocks]

TGE TV C'mon spill the beans. What issues did you have with the 720S? Build, and fit & finish quality issues?

[@feld3d]

Dude you have made this video or talked about you not buying this car already a ton of times. Move on already

[@williammartin9226]

Hi Tim, I thought you had one on order? Get the boost turned up on your LT, that's all the 720 is a makeover with the boost turned up. Make your LT faster than a 720. Cheers.

[@Nesamag]

At 2:27 Shmee walks around and whips out the slimmest of keys/fob...My anxiety was stuck at who's idea it was to park so close to a drain vent on a right-handed car

[@epeli4585]

YES

[@user-kk8fx9sw6v]

Yeah buy it

[@FullmetalJun]

I'm in love with that interior of the lux version!

[@neilbaldacchino3524]

Did this have the sports exhaust?

[@supremefantastic]

Don't you have one already? Or it might be a model with another name but look exactly the same. So, as I've said before, I don't understand this bounded relationship to british manufacturers you seem to have since it's a so small part of the whole supercar spectra.

[@Shmee150]

I own a Ferrari, and I have a GT3 and GT R on order, those aren't British haha

[@supremefantastic]

I know, but my point is still that a bigger proportion of your cars and the cars you want to buy is british comparing to how the complete world of supercars look like. I've been trying as good as I can to show this before with percents and so on, but it seems like I don't reach success.

[@marvelvsdc13]

supremefantastic well he is British himself no? Seems fine to me for someone to favor cars from their home country especially when they are as beautiful/capable as those that Shmee has lol

[@supremefantastic]

marvelvsdc13 - Yeah, I agree with that's quite normal. I'm swedish so I may have a stronger feeling for Koenigsegg, Volvo and Saab than people generally :)

[@Ducatista189]

I'm with you. I want volvo to make that beautiful concept estate. I love swedish design.

[@adot7867]

No you shouldn't.

[@yangguan4070]

Wont the race display gets dusty?

[@ashishrebello8891]

But Tim the main point is that it's the replacement for the 650s. So comparing it to the LT is kinda not the intention. You should probably get one but only till the time they don't get the hardcore stripped out version. That will be really good fun.

[@randomguyfrominterwebster]

Dont buy 720s, wait lt model and then have 675 lt spider and new one :D

[@Iulius]

YES YES AND YES you should buy one of these... the gorgeous supercar i ever see.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

You need to get the performance package would help with that exhaust sound

[@camlkisback]

Does a Chiron not have the same driveability?

[@richieduck67]

Yes please should have bought the bearded man's one...

[@skyzegaming4448]

You are a millionare shmee..you can buy anything... also you have a soft corner to mclaren already

[@username-hp4et]

some people say that his net worth is like 3.5 to 4 million

[@skyzegaming4448]

slammed subie 04 but has no headweight of anything

[@Father_Nature88]

You can't buy anything when you're a millionaire unless you want to go broke. you still have to manage your money.. these cars depreciate very quickly so you have to take that into consideration..

[@skyzegaming4448]

PWAT-GEETHUR skorry

[@Father_Nature88]

Sachin Krishna don't say sorry.. lol I was just saying basically no matter how much money you have if you're reckless with it you will go broke eventually.. taxes and other expenses are no joke and if you don't play your cards right money will disappear quit quickly..

[@bagofcans1431]

Quite like that colour and the wheels but I wouldn't spec this car with fudge coloured interior. Crackin car and should hold it's value

[@AtienzaLouie]

If you want a car that you can travel with and makes a lot of sound, I have a Camry with a busted exhaust that can set off car alarms wherever I drive. Or maybe just record some clips on a USB stick and play them back on the 1200W sound system. If you're not feelin' it Tim, maybe you shouldn't buy it. But I think you're missing the whole point about the car. I think the performance numbers were a bit, well, understated. I think Robert Melville is a design genius. And I think the 720S is so good, that we're just no able to comprehend today how good it actually is, but I feel there'll be a lot of auto makers borrowing from its design elements (if they haven't done so already...) and in the future we may say that this was the one that started the new phase of supercars...

[@felixdukeofuke]

"I think this car looks really good ... when you get familiar with it." :D When you have to explain design it isn't good by definition. And you sound as if you try to convince yourself that it is looking good. I think it is rather ugly in front and super lame in the rear it looks a bit like an olm.

[@TheTmat007]

Felix And when you consider something "ugly" or "good-looking," it is just a matter of your opinion, Felix. And how do you mean, the design of the 720S is not good by definition? What is the meaning of "design"? If, for example, the Mclaren designer (s) goal or intention was all about aerodynamics and fucntionality, and they are well pleased with what they've achieved with the design of the 720S, who are you to say it isn't good, simply because you do not find it attractive? Shm.

[@ronwaarts2405]

Blablabla.....

[@giraffesofluffy8070]

You should get one just to be able to get a the LT version when it does come out

[@cameronharms3384]

Haven't finished watching the video, but yes. Buy one ASAP. It is probably one of my favorite cars as of now.

[@louislewis3312]

ferrari > mclaren

[@stubones]

and you know this because you're an opinionated internet troll who has never driven a single ferrari or Mclaren.

[@HuyTran-bd4id]

540c > la ferrari

[@harrywright8677]

Nope, has no emotion or personality

[@milesheard8149]

"no emotion or personality" it's a car mate.

[@harrywright8677]

Miles Heard clearly you've never had a good car then

[@milesheard8149]

Harry Wright I've only had one. Really good engineered car; comfortable and easy to drive. Judging a car based on "personality" or "soul" just seems rather silly me.

[@harrywright8677]

Miles Heard okay pal

[@Petarboom]

I don't know it this has been asked before, but have you ever considered buying a Caterham? A 620R, for example. Your Morgan was so unique, I think a new lightweight car would be a good choice.

[@matthpotte]

I'd wait personally for an LT version unless you bought one as a keeper, TGE just lost money on his, which is fair enough for a new car sold quickly but still thats a very heavy ownership cost. You would need to keep it and be able to drive it regularly for 2-3 years to make it worthwhile in my mind. As a LHD and use as a ring tool... maybe... but there are better track focused cars certainlyfor the money. Beautiful peice of engineering though, but I love the drama of your LT more....

[@BasedHadrian]

Nah, not a pretty car and people are already selling theirs because they don’t excite them

[@carreragt8516]

La Esco Blanca it's not that, many owners have complained about the quality and issues already

[@stubones]

Do you know whats exciting? Outdragging an Aventador S in your 720S and watching it become a speck in the rear vierw mirror...

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

stubones then you get woke up for school !

[@jackposey5674]

I'd love to see where these alleged McLaren 720s owners are posting their cars for sale. I've only heard good things from 720s owners. Being a current owner of a 675 LT and 570s, I cannot see where the 720s could go wrong.

[@TheTmat007]

La Esco Blanca How do you mean it is not a pretty car? It may not be not to you! But your taste doesn't represent everyone else's. Personally, I think this is the best looking supercar McLaren has ever design and built since the F1.

[@NathanGamingTube]

The back of the 720s looks a lot like the front of a Ford Mustang?

[@54spatula]

How does this feel compared to an F12?

[@dparker8419k]

The looks in front are slowly growing on me but Tom, if you love the car enough to buy it like you need it in your life then buy it. Just spec it with an unusual color like Orion purple

[@pfc3005]

Best McLaren review on the internet!

[@cjvaans4484]

A wise suggestion to say buy a depreciated one and has fixed the issues. And an exhaust is definitely the first mod and probably the only one you need.
