WHAT MCLAREN NEEDED!? My First Drive in the New 750S Spider

[@RocMaster48]

I feel like the 750s is under rated, it looks the same as a 720s but how it drives is so good not much has to be changed. Its such a good car that has an “old face”

[@Shmee150]

It's a super confusing one across the portfolio

I own a McLaren 570 Spider. Although it sometimes doesn't recognise the key, once it does, the driving experience always brings a huge smile to my face. It's simply incredible! Despite the occasional key trouble, the driving experience overshadows reliability concerns.

I like that you can just buy these if you got the money. No need to suck up like ferrari etc, just walk in and buy a good sports car.

[@eggplantandpeach]

I messaged a sales guy in Aus and he was so helpful. I didn't realise a full specd one was $1.2mil AUD 😅 Thought it was around $700k. A bit more than a GT3. And yes, if you got the money you can buy one hassle free.

[@alexluke84]

True that buddy...but that is also exactly the reason why Mc's are deprecciating so rapidly, because the same people with money are just buying "cheaply" and when selling fast for the same excuse of needing to rid off 🤷 in that regard Porsche and Ferrari are smart....they won't sell special models to anyone with enough cash and making possible that the same person flips it for a profit...keeping the brand exclusivity, McLaren was smart only with Ultra series like Senna, Speedtail amd P1 amd those are desirable 'cos of exclusivity, and price 😎

[@matthewconrad-jones8846]

That Emira in the background looks perfectly at home despite the much more expensive car in front of it ! Great design !!

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

I'm sort of glad they made this. Quite honestly, they nailed it with the 720S. I've never seen a supercar where I could see the manufacturer making it in some form forever and ever until I saw the 720S.

People are commenting yes, the LTS are more special. However, that being said they meant to be garage, queens and not dripping too much. May be on track days. It's better to have a car you can drive and enjoy every day and I have to worry about it and it has both elements of 720 and 765. This is a winner all the way. Just lease it and get the next thing after three years that's what I'm doing.

[@haidweng7948]

[@daveh98]

I really wish reviewers would start being their own brand and give honest opinions on these cars because their old 720s takes haven't aged very well. They went overboard with it being "too tame" and it's all based on an exhaust sound that's less loud than the Lamborghini Huracan. I honestly think my 720s is way more engaging than the huracans and vipers before it. That's due to the light chassis and amazing steering feel that both are truly best in class. The 720s was a benchmark car and is aging really well from the looks down to the driver engagement. I think it's not far off being one of the best ICE super cars ever made. This probably ages pretty well because eletric is the future and driving engagement is going to have to come from things other than pure speed sooner than later.

[@robertlulek1634]

For the people who are calling this car ugly I would hate to see your choice of women lol. Perhaps the spec isn't the best but if you see one that's specked correctly right coloring right interior. It is a gorgeous car.

[@brandonburr4900]

I agree that I expected a bigger change from McLaren. This looks more like a evolution of the same cars than a revolution and large change. In terms of pwrfance and driving perhaps all these super cars have gotten so good (as you say each McLaren in their lineup does all this well) that it makes it a lot harder to differentiate them from the next or or past models. I would still love to see you drive one of these in anger on a track day event! It does sound fabulous ! Thanks tim!

What I find interesting is that this car, kind of, competes with the Revulto and the 812's replacement. One of which has 1000hp and the other is sure to do so. As light as the McLaren may be , I wonder if it is enough to make up for the power deficit

[@klaus6458]

Porsche standard or turbo 991 compared to 992 is an evolution only as well, no new suspension, slightly more power, new entertainment, slightly new design but this doesn't matter if it comes down to performance -> nobody complains. If McLaren is improving in the same way I read & listen about it is no large step... I think this is not fair

[@michaelsummerell8618]

I can't help but get the feeling that McLaren is currently struggling as a company - I know they are having financial issues, as indicated by selling their HQ. I know the Artura would have cost a lot in development but seems not to be selling in decent numbers, and their earlier GT was a bit of a miss. This kind of budgetary constraint shows in the 750s in that in terms of a refresh, there appears very little in terms of aesthetic changes to differentiate between this, the 765LT and the 720s. I hope their situation improves soon as they're quite a flagship company for the British Automotive Industry.

[@hdmk213]

Agreed, safe to say they'll struggle to collect the development budget to create an entirely different car / proposition - such as a SUV, or front-engined grand tourer (like the 812 Superfast). I'd still love one someday though, and I can't say the same thing about Ferrari's mid-engined cars

​@saraprva4172 yes and you can tell a 650s apart from a senna, a p1 from a speadtail, an artura from a 765lt etc etc etc. all brands have some cars that look similar though. its called building a brand identity. if you think of a porsche you think off round headlights, beautiful clean bodylines. when you think of lamborghini, you think of aggresive pointy and hexagonal shapes. and when you think of mclaren you think of clean and yet aggresive curved bodylines. im a huge mclaren fan and i hear so many people saying they all look the same only because of a few examples but they never take into account that every brand has this, and thats how it should be.

[@720sobsessed6]

@135eddy sticker was 341 new it depreciated to about 280 before covid then went back up to sticker which is where we should've got a 765 but I made the mistake of assuming the 720 would depreciate more. Then we ordered the 750 and went to mtc to spec it. Now the 720 is worth about 240-250 and ours will be auctioned off next week.

[@Enncee93]

The issue I have with this car is 1. The exhaust doesn't look as good as the 720s and 2. They would have held back on this car because they couldn't make it better than the 765lt without pissing off their 765 customers. So the 720s is still the better option imo

The others just didnt have the soul i wanted and im not sure why especially rhe lambos. I was rather disappointed by the aventador it wasnt the nicest to drive it really needs straight open roads to enjoy the v10 Ferraris of today are a little too electrictronic feeling?
