This is the new McLaren gt and it’s a. Little bit like these sunglasses which. Are also new from McLaren in the way. That it does things slightly differently. With the frames on these in the way the. Arms work also it’s quite lightweight. Car is – compared to normal gt cars such. As an Aston martin DBS Superleggera or a. Bentley continental gt now these glasses. There are thousand pounds in case you’re. Wondering the car that’s a hundred and. Sixty three thousand pounds it’s gonna. Get a lot more expensive with some. Options as well more on that later. Now before we get into the review make. Sure you subscribe to this channel hit. That bell icon to turn your. Notifications on and also check your. Mobile phone settings to make sure. You’re allowed to receive notifications. From youtube, yeah it’s a right old. Pallava but you need to do that so you.

Don’t miss our latest uploads let’s kick. Off this review by talking about the. Mclaren it’s design so there’s no active. Rear spoiler like you get on the 720’s. Instead it’s integrated into the boot. Lid, you do have a diffuser at the back. And you’ll notice the exhaust a lower. Than in other maclaren’s and of course. Mclaren being McLaren they are indeed. Real they pass the car wow stick of. Truth’ oh yes, this piece of log not fit. In there as well. Mclaren doesn’t mess around with fake. Vents every vent or hall on this car has. A purpose now these wheels at the back. They’re 21 inches the biggest ever. Fitted to McLaren are the front you get. 20s but looking down the side of the car. You can see it’s really long so this car. Is 4 point 7 meters long which is the. Same as an Aston martin DBS Superleggera. But the design is completely different. It’s got this teardrop shape which helps. Aerodynamics and the reason it’s got. That shape is because the engine is. There in the middle that’s important you. See this is a gt car good for carrying. You over long distances but when you get. Close to your destination and there’s. Some twisty roads you can drive it like. A proper supercar now moving to the. Front the bond it’s actually pretty. Short isn’t it for a gt car once again. That mid-engine design means that you. Don’t have a big long bollocks there’s. No engine under there and the front of. The car is clearly a McLaren although. Slightly different to any other McCann. We’ve seen before. There’s 75 down here I’m getting. Constantly bitten here in the front of. The McLaren tt it has more of a supercar. Vibe then a grand tour and I like that. So the design of the dash is very very.

Sporty with the air vents like this. Everything’s really easily laid out it’s. All your driving controls are here. Infotainment there or like your lights. And stuff are here it’s super easy to. Use and you’ve got all these curves. About the place very McLaren a-and I. Like the way you got ambient lighting. Here and here and you can change the. Color of that as well the materials are. Very very lovely and everything feels. Solid on the whole I like this feature. As well the sun blinds feel expensive. Boutique like and look at this I like. That as well it’s just a shame there’s. No light for it until what’s a shame as. Well, look at this the rearview mirror. If only it felt as posh as the vanity. Mirror it’s like something out of a. Dacha yeah also my cameraman doesn’t. Like this can a black plastic here I. Don’t mind it but it does scratch quite. Easily so a few complaint it’s not. Perfect but on the whole it’s quite nice. And that’s not so nice though these. Although they are optional, these pedal. Shifters they are bo I’m in lovely solid. Aluminium they just feel great so to do. These optional nulled vent controls as. Well, they’re lovely and cool to the. Touch it’s very very nice in fact that. Brings me onto this course specs as. Standard you get a central independence. Screen and it’s digital drivers display. And you can flick through different. Menus on that and also change the look. Of it depending which mode the car is in. There’s also extended leather which is. Very luxurious and of course you get. Four led headlights and taillights. This car has quite a few options fit to. It it has deluxe pack which is nine. Thousand nine hundred and ninety pounds. And includes things like electrically.

Operated seats otherwise they’re just. Manual when you get extra soft aniline. Leather pretty much everywhere including. Here on the sill finisher though seems. To be easily scuffed, do you like this. Green metallic paint well it’s four. Thousand pounds if you specify the. Premium part which includes lots of. Extra bits and pieces such as this. Lovely. Ferris & Wilkins 12 speaker stereo it. Will set you back an extra four thousand. Nine hundred pounds and when you add up. All the options fitted to this. Particular car they come to almost 34. Thousand pounds taking the total price. 197 grams let’s continue this review by. Talking about the infotainment system so. It’s all-new from McLaren and it’s. Pretty easy to use, it’s very much like. Your mobile phone so you have your home. Button and you can just scroll through. Different functions and apps normally. The screens on these things are super. Laggy but look at that it is just like. Your mobile phone it is as quick maybe. The screen resolution isn’t quite as. Sharp as things like your latest Samsung. S 10 plus but it’s not bad at all my. Only complaint with this entertainment. System is the fact that it doesn’t have. Android auto nor apple carplay which is. A nightmare apparently those systems. Won’t work with this car screen. Orientation well I can’t complain about. Is the seating position it’s always. Lovely in maclaren’s and it’s no. Different here it’s easy to get comfy. There’s plenty of adjustment in the seat. Though it is a bit of a faff to find the. Controls of these electric seats but I. Can push it a long way back so if you’re. Longer blake you’ll be fine also there’s. A normal amount of headroom so if you’re.

Long of body you’ll be fine as well and. Of course you can adjust the steering. Wheel and it it’s just perfect really. Really central nice driving position. Almost like the fact there’s quite a lot. Of light in here so the glass area is. Quite big for such a sporty car and. They’ve even worked in some little light. Panels just in between the pillars in. The back, which is nice as well let’s a. Bit more lighting and improved. Visibility terms of connectivity it’s. Not great alright you’ve got one USB. There and a twelve volt socket there I. Like this though, look they’ve got these. Little slats there we can put your. Mobile phone next to these cupholders. Though these cupholders a bit hard to. Get to that there is a bigger one here. If you need it and it can hold a large. Bottle there is some niches there we can. Store some of the bits and pieces also. Unlike the 720 s look, you have a glove. Box it’s not exactly the largest but you. Do have some boots at the rear you have. A hurricane the coast cooling system. Cause it’s really higher you have a boot. With 420 litres of space though the way. Up space is arranged is quite awkward as. You can see it’s really, really shallow. Isn’t it. So you leave these straps to hold your. Luggage in place otherwise when your. Break is going to go flying through into. The passage and come. Apartment and you also need to have. Specific soft bags to be able to make. The use of this space good thing about. It though you can fit skis in here you. Can fit. I said golf clubs as well there you need. A special McLaren bag which is the right. Shape for this I did like this there. Look the carbon-fiber that’s lovely you. Don’t get that in most cars boots do you. That’s not the only boot though there’s. Obviously one at the front so in the. Front you have 150 liters of space which. Is more than you get in the front of a. Porsche 911 when you combine that with. The rear but you’ve got five vision 70. Litres which is more than you get in the.

Boot of a Volvo v60 my parents say you. Can fit a golf trolley in there so I. Think if you can afford on these cars. And you’re too lazy to carry your clubs. Yourself you could prolly afford a caddy. Now there is a 12 volt socket if you. Need to charge something but the real. Test for this Franck is whether I can. Fit in it comfortably, and it appears as. Though I can I kind of wish that you. Could remove the banach so I could just. Be driven along like this though I ended. Up with a load of flies in my teeth and. That brings you’re onto five annoying. Things about the McLaren gt depending on. The position of the sun you get a. Terrible reflection of the – in the. Windscreen it’s very very annoying most. Modern cars have cameras in here which. Can read speed signs on the road and. They’ll tell you on the cause instrument. How fast the speed limit is which is. Kind of important in a car this quick. Yeah, it doesn’t have one say you’re. Never sure how fast you should be going. Considering we have to pay extra for the. Reversing camera it’s a little bit. Annoying that the resolution is about as. Good as a video game from the 1990s this. Car constantly makes a weird kind of. High-pitched squeal whine sound it’s. Really annoying it’s as though you’ve. Got tinnitus McLaren doesn’t have the. Best reputation for reliability and yeah. This car has thrown up a fault. It says parking brake fault call McLaren. Service centre got another problem the. Infotainment system is frozen I can’t do. Anything with it. No. No, oh wait it thinks I’m still doing 66. Kilometres an hour I’m not I’m. Stationary the car is off the air. Conditioning and ventilation system is. Supposedly off yates kind of still just. Burbling away. It’s not great on the launch of the car. Is it it’s not all negative though. Here’s five good things about this car. The adaptive dampers which come as. Standard can respond within two. Milliseconds but they don’t just react.

They can actually be proactive because. They use a special algorithm to work out. What bumps they think are coming next to. Prime the car ready for it. This cars mid-engine there and the fact. That you’ve got a carbon-fiber roof. Means that the center of gravity is. About here around your hip points so it. Feels like the car pivots around you a. Normal front-engine gt car would have. Its center of gravity up there which. Obviously some points are good for a. Sporty handling fail then there’s the. Weight itself so this car weights. Fifteen hundred and thirty kilos which. Is quite light for a grand tourer. Something like an Aston martin DBS the. Village era is almost nineteen hundred. Kilos and a Bentley continental gt well. Over two tons, I love the design of the. Door handle a seizures push your hand in. There and it automatically opens then. You lift it up and of course being an. Icon you got dihedral doors I also like. The fact that you have a little door. Pockets which will fit your sunglasses. Case so that the things don’t drop out. Will you lift the door up finally check. This out you also have soft clothes on. The doors air boiler with the optional. Lift kit fitted you can raise the nose. Of the cop slightly and then this gt has. The same approach and departure angles. As a Mercedes c-class so you can drive. It pretty much anywhere you could one of. Those cars being mid-engine you’d expect. The luggage air will get very very hot. But to counteract that McLaren has. Fitted it with some special material. That resists heat also air intakes on. The side haunches for not airing here. And apparently the temperature in this. Luggage arrow never gets above 40. Degrees McCarran says that about. Two-thirds of this car is all new and. That involves the carbon fibre tub and.

Also the four liter twin-turbo v8 engine. Which is reworked over that in the 720 s. So it has 620 horsepower. 630 newton meters of torque it’s. Combined with the dual-clutch 7-speed. Automatic gearbox which drives the rear. Wheels only can do naught to 60 with. Launch control in 3.1 seconds and will. Top out at 203 miles an hour. Ryann and start the driving section of. This McLaren gt by testing it out in. Town once a town I mean the french. Riviera boulevard the first thing you. Notice is that compared to normal gt car. You’ve got a very very low – and a short. Bonnet that helps in situations like. This one it’s not aged out blind. Junctions now if I was in something else. Maybe something like an Aston martin DBS. Without big long bonnet I would have had. No clue whether I was just poking my. Nose out in front of a fast-moving truck. With this it’s much better much easier. At shorter and you get great all-round. View actually dead easy to drive past. Cycles you can tell exactly where the. Corners of the car are and it’s super. Comfy that suspension does a great job. Over bumps, obviously everything is in. Automatic comfort mode, so I’m just. Chillin enjoying this scenery there look. Hard at the Mediterranean looking lovely. The steering is not too light not too heavy. Very easy to control the brakes they’re. Not overly assisted in time but they’re. Not jerky also it’s got a fairly decent. Turning circle as well so if you see. Something you like over there mean. Somebody in a bikini I think I’ll go. Check them out it’s very easy to just do. You eat and have a bit of a perv the. Second environment you need a grand. Tourer to do well it is long-distance. Cruising’s on the motorway fast normal. Roads it’s just thought I’m travelling. On now so it does a good job in terms of. Comfort these seats are lovely the. Suspensions brilliant the gearbox shifts. Gears really nicely as well when you’re. Moving along it’s great what’s not so. Great though is the fact that you get a. Constant drone and if you hear it from. The exhaust system er and this is it in. Comfort mode if you’ve got into sport it. Gets a little bit louder still it’s just. There constantly. I’m a VA with turbochargers with very. Little character and there’s some other. Noises as well like the brakes and stuff.

These guy just seems to lack the. Ultimate refinement of some of the other. GT cars like an Aston martin DBS. Superleggera another thing that it’s. Lacking is autonomous cruise control. When you’re crossing continents which. These cars are supposed to be good at. You cannot want to just cruise down the. Motorway which is very boring and put. The car into automatic cruise control. And let it do its thing later steer you. Let it keep your safe distance from the. Car inference this car doesn’t have it. It just has old-fashioned cruise control. So it just keeps the throttle at the. Setting you want that’s not good enough. Especially when you got something like a. Bentley continental gt which does have. Autonomous cruise control that McLaren. Is a bit of an oversight for me so. Really what this car is all about is. When you finish most of your journey and. The road starts to get interesting then. You can entertain you just like any. Other McLaren. It feels not like a gt car but a. Supercar the chassis balance is. Brilliant the steering is spot-on. It’s hydraulically assisted rather than. Electrical as well which just gives you. Way more feel and the engine. Blimey and the brakes are good enough to. Haul you up this is a car you can really. Fling about it just feels like pinball. Agile it might not be the most costing. Long-distance cruiser but when you can. Have fun in it like this all is forgiven. I mean this is just epic it’s a supercar. But every day you really really is the. Gearbox is really good as well we change. It yourself it’s super fast it when. You’re cruising it’s nice and smooth. Then there’s a different driving mode so. For this kind of conditions sport is. Perfect and that alters miss speed a. Shift of the gearbox and the suspension. To you or to the chassis you can put. Into track mode but really sport is the. Best for the road you never get to. Change the throttle map, but that’s fine. Because it’s a nice responsive fault. Also, you don’t change the steering. Weight or they doesn’t automatically. Change when you’re in town but really. All you need to be able to change is the. Gearbox and the suspension everything. Else is bang-on. And when you take it along the exhaust. No it’s better it’s quite raucous quite. Deep yeah this is such a fun car quite. Unlike any of the gt I’ve ever driven. [applause]. So then what’s my final verdict on the. New McLaren gt should do avoid it should. You consider it should he shortlist it. Well, should you just go right ahead and. Buy it but I reckon you should shortlist. The gt it’s not one of the most relaxing. Grand tourers but it’s definitely one of them. The most fun just so you guys know I. Explain the problems that I had with the. Gt to McLaren they check the car over. And found out that it was to do with the. Infotainment system and they said that. It’s because the infotainment system is. Now there’s a glitch with the software. But all that will be sorted out when the. Cars go to customers apparently.
