The McLaren 750S is the facelifted, updated version of Matt's previous favorite supercar, the 720S. Now with more power, less weight, a new cockpit setup, and a few small-but-crucial tweaks to the steering and brake systems, plus the gearset from the 765LT, the 750S sets a new high water mark for straddling the worlds of ultra high performance and everyday usability.
McLaren provided the vehicle, accomodations, insurance, fuel, and track time for this review.

Matt, you got your wish. You made a request & McLaren listened! @the end of the 765LT vid you said you wanted the engine/extra power, & lightness of the 765LT w/the shorter gears, but with the compliance of the 720S so the ride doesn't beat you up LOL this is the Matt Farah McLaren, basically💯

[@jacebeleren429]

Matt makes some good calls.

[@joeracer302]

Alternatively, buy a 720S, do a turbo swap and tune, make even more power for waaaay less $. The engine is basically same, and turbos swap over. The 720 motor with a few upgrades is just as powerful mod for mod.

[@jacebeleren429]

@@joeracer302 Good plan. Still working on step 1!

[@cs2294]

Yeah this is great for the 3 people that will buy one

[@TheBucketOfTruth]

@@joeracer302 Yeah but then you'd still have to figure out how to get CarPlay

[@certifiedbidry]

They finally gave Matt a bright colour instead of black, whoop!

[@dakotasimpson8952]

take notes porsche lol

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

That's cool but why are McLarens stock rims always black?

[@krusher74]

Its classless and nasty. Looks like somthing from the fast an the furious 1. Only appealing to tasteless Americans who cant afford it.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

Those dash toggle switches are fire. Especially in this world of screens we're in.

[@proper_miles]

“Spinning wheel pull away mode” sounds like the Geico Cavemen didn’t know what to call it in the insurance underwriting.

[@drivingpsyche]

They wanted to call it “Cars and Coffee Departure Mode” but Ford would feel threatened.

[@BarikSingh]

That wasn’t a burnout officer, the vehicle accidentally engaged “spinning wheel pull away mode.” Please forgive me.

[@eb110americana]

It sounds like something your dumb friend in high school would say. "Bro! Did you use spinning wheel pull away mode? She can't get pregnant if you use the spinning wheel pull away mode. Fact."

[@skittlesgarage]

​@@drivingpsyche Best Mustang driver joke ever in the history of KZbin comments. Bravo.

[@_VelociDad]

“Spinning wheel pull away Mode” - sounds very British. Here in the Colonies, we just call it Burnout Mode! 😂

[@IS300Spartan]

I really missed the road view POV. I think being along for the ride and watching the awesome driving in action is an essential part of the experience.

[@thesigurdssonteam552]

Just got mine a month ago.. in love with it and no issues so far! 🥰

[@realasscracka]

whats the warranty period

[@jose7777777777777777]

Spinning wheel pull away mode or burnout mode has been there since the 675LT. The point is to warm up rear tires. You just turn off the assists, put it in sport or track handling mode, and mash the gas in first gear from a standstill and it does a clutch dump

[@G2Merica]

Matt you’re one of the best reviewers. And I love that you get the sponsorship out the way instead of sticking it in the middle like some other idiots

[@heyhayhay247]

It gets skipped either way

[@joeracer302]

He tries to at least take sponsors he thinks his viewers might actually be interested in.

[@heyhayhay247]

@@joeracer302 does he though?

[@shanefanon]

Another truly class act. Thank you Matt. Listening to you is a joy, Great presentation as always.

[@mmontgomeryy]

Mat’s reviews are always good, but this one felt particularly on point 👌

[@moremaddness]

My Dream car to get a ride in the McLaren 720 has been replaced and given Matt's stamp! of approval.... Time to update the bucket list!! McLaren 750s here we go!!!

[@jacebeleren429]

Matt was vibing the whole time. Great video.

[@horsecockexpress7612]

always loved that the cluster moved with the wheel in my old 928. It just made sense

[@teddyruxpin3811]

I'm pretty sure you gotta disable ESC to do the rolling burnout mode / spinning tire whatever mode. My 600LT has the same mode and I have to completely disable ESC (dynamic ESC doesn't let you do it either). You basically just stomp your foot on the throttle real fast, going from 0% to 100% throttle and it revs it up and dumps the clutch for you. It doesn't require the brake at all. But the rolling burnout mode in the 750 might be different than the 600lt so I don't know for sure.

[@kyleditaranto8440]

Dear Matt(and zack). Never thanked you guys for your amazing videos and not only that but how much you guys help not only myself but the rest of the car community, smile, when a day or days may seem dark. Love you guys and keep killing it

[@lucasblanchard47]

If I would ever possibly be in the market for a supercar by some financial miracle, this would absolutely be near the top of my list! And I’d definitely get a wild color spec like orange or something!

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

Always enjoy a good review by Matt with Smoking Tire! Quality footage and review between the 720s.

[@DANA-lx8cv]

Hyper car speed and looks without the weight and complications of the electric add ons, what more could you want? 720 to 750 is like your supermodel crush who is now going to they gym 6 days a week rather than 5. Only issue I can see is reliability. If that is now fixed, it's pretty much THE exotic car to have before everything goes battery. This and the Ferrari 296 are at the top of my (relatively) attainable supercar list. Another masterpiece of a video. 7:05 is a true poster shot.

[@Suzuki_Lukey]

I watch every one of your videos , but they never show up in my feed. I'm glad I follow on instagram and Patreon otherwise, I would miss them all. Great vid!

[@TheBucketOfTruth]

How is the wonderful shot at 7:00 not the thumbnail? Criminal

[@jowarrior]

Because silly KZbin face creates more engagement and the algorithm pushes thumbnails with excitement faces more than just stuff

[@luffy858]

Curious to see the actual production cost of the 2 seats. Can't see a carbon shell costing more then the leather and motors that go into the touring seat. Maybe 30 years ago but the profit margin on the carbon trim replacing leather must be massive.

[@stevemartegani]

I wasn't expecting a Hook quote

[@Heyitsallgoodman]

Bangarang!

[@SirJamesTND]

The mode he wanted to try has been in the lt cars from the jump. Guys use it to warm tires at drag strips.

[@SirJamesTND]

You have to go active on the center panel, full esc off , manual mode, first gear. Floor gas and shift up to third gear as its spinning

[@SwapBlogRU]

You might want to check out the CarWow drag race of this car versus a 720S. The results were strange, to say the least (in short - the 750S won a few races from a dig, but the 720 was pulling on the 750 in the rolling race portion of the video, which was pretty strange - the 720 could've been tuned, but it was claimed to be stock).

[@720sobsessed6]

It's not strange it's the gearing plus that 720 being on better tires on a low traction day

[@Gorbyrev]

It's the one I'd have and now the likes of Litchfield in the UK and Cannonball in the US are getting on board the long term ownership proposition is improving too.

[@Petrospect]

Eyyy an unavoidable green car! Also, when have shorter gears ever been a bad thing, it seems they did a great, great job updating the 720S. This is definitely the pick of the lineup now, more than Artura for sure

[@billbligh4547]

Been waiting for the TST’s take on the 750 - not disappointed! TYVM Listening to Chris Harris’s pod yesterday only to hear that McLaren cars (not race team) are looking for a new owner, and that either Musk or the Chinese are the only contenders. Bummer, if true.

[@jongil1]

"I disagree with their recommendation" HA. Great review, that launch control sounds dirtyyyy. They took everything I loved about the 720, added the shorter gears from the 765, and added the infotainment from the Artura. Sounds like a slam dunk to me. Spyder definitely is the way to go, especially being able to have the rear window down with the top up.

[@sem3p]

Launch mode is faster with auto shifting. Don't mess with the paddles.😊

[@edhuslik]

It says so much that it's hard to induce wheel spin on a monster like this. Unbelievable traction abilities.

[@rolandotillit2867]

The 720 was already a beast of a car, now it's a beast of a car, but it went to a tailor.

[@bcs528]

Dream car right here.. I’d get that light Tiffany blue!

[@christophermay1229]

I normally forward the sponsors but this actually made me go onto the site!

[@Bob_Smith19]

Pogue sighting…nice

[@bentucker2301]

Wheels make or break a car. The dark blue one in the lineup with the orange calipers had good wheels...

[@keithrobertson2401]

I’m curious, with your really extensive range of vehicles in your “garage”, do you feel like your missing this type of “does everything” modern super car? Or does your frozen berry monster cover this just fine so it would be kinda redundant.

[@computerhelpcc]

shorter gears, back window openable for sound, nice materials so touring more enjoyable, better controls for driver… sounds like a serious win for supercar class

[@mazda_miata_]

10:50 You spoke about the revised gearing / using the 765LT’s gearing in relation to highway driving, what RPM does it cruise at on the highway with this gearing? Let’s say going 80 MPH, compared to the 720S’s gearing if possible to compare?

[@bitkarek]

you can shift down with your right paddle, did you notice?

[@TD-047]

Thanks Matt. looks fantastic.

[@lp6704superveloce]

Didn't mclaren have the same 'spinning wheel pull away mode' in the 675lt back in the day? I remember the 675lt having some sort of burn out mode as you launch the car

[@WayApp]

Loved it!

[@SpeedFreak0122]

Absolutely love the wheels

[@davidsteinhour5562]

I have good news about Honda's recent offerings 😉

[@davidsteinhour5562]

I have good news for you about Honda's recent offerings... 😉

[@Cloxxki]

Is the 296 in the same class, though? Doesn't it have a good bit of hybrid on board? For weight comparisons, other cars may be fairer. GT2RS? Some RWD Lambo?

[@jakeringer3153]

"Spinning wheel pull away mode" would need a launch control-like high rpm clutch drop to work so you definitely weren't doing it right!

[@Richard--99]

amazing video as always, honestly hate the colour but love the car

[@michaeledwardlenzi]

Nice Pogue, Matt.

[@sutats]

So they standardised the factory specification with the seats so that it weighs lighter than the 720S.

[@NoClassic]

With the depreciation Mclaren usually experiences these are going to be a hell of a deal in a couple years.

[@Steve_9292]

Until it leaves the warranty period. 😂

[@NoClassic]

​@@Steve_9292Just have to hope all the parts that were going to fall off already did and were put back on under warranty lol.

[@720sobsessed6]

​@Steeve9292 our 3 mclarens have been bulletproof. I did a track day with 35 mclarens this year and only one owner had ever had an issue and it was unsurprisingly an artura. The cars are way more reliable than their reputation

[@kylelee8685]

[@kevincoombs7348]

Makes me proud to be British. An improvement on a great car. Good colour as well.

[@illegalmachine]

Guessing the “spinning wheel blah blah” was to address the complains that you couldn’t heat the tires up at a drag strip with the 720S.

[@redbaron5765]

Another super car on Continentals? Love the new ECS2s

[@mostlypostie1]

Awesome review!

[@stephenwayant2790]

That sh*t eating grin at the end, Matt was ready to go really rip that thing!

[@MaxRPMs]

What watch is Matt wearing? looks really nice.

[@Heyitsallgoodman]

It's a vintage seiko chronograph. Look up Pogue. 500-2000 depending on condition

[@exoticsautoclub9329]

750 is great but 765 is the ultimate track monster!

[@tdlaustralia7791]

15 yr extended warranty is probably expensive but if it covers enough and you want just have an awesome time for 15 yrs I'd take that in a heartbeat and drove the crap out of it.

[@dannonyogurt98]

Is McLaren still having issues like double-sided tape on panels and half of the electronics braking on the dealer lot?

[@stevenhernandez2108]

Takes a lot to get a “I love this car” from Matt Farah, that’s why your opinion is trusted! Bought 2 of your recommended cars in the past. I’m going to sell a house or two and put a deposit down tomorrow 😆

[@elcentinela3434]

Great video

[@Bootman899]

You better love it for over 300k. Insane price tag

[@DaBaltimoron]

Did you say you can get a 15-year warranty? How much is that?
