    I've already spent loads of time with the McLaren 720 Coupe on both the street and the track, and again with the Spider on the street. Let's all be honest: we knew it would be just as nuts. But any excuse to go have fun on the track with a McLaren 720 Spider is a good excuse.
    Shoutout to Edmond Mondi & Speed District for providing the track time, and McLaren for providing the vehicle!

    The frame of these cars is carbon and is mainly looking like a bath tube so mechanical stress is shared throughout this bath tube, stress is not meant to be split between roof and base. Most other cars have a steel frame from stone age so when the cut off the roof to make it a convertible they need to redo the concept of how car will handle mechanical stress anf vibration and chassis twisting which often leads to reinforced base.

      My friend, there are Porsche owners who experience issues with their car, just like those who own McLarens and other brands do. And some have returned their car, much like you claim you did with your 570s. But there are some McLaren owners (as well as those of other brands) who has never experience any issues with their car. So, what's your point? The bottom line is, EVERY car company in the automotive industry has produced vehicles that presented issues to owners.That is why most (if not all) has had to do recalls. And so, no car company is perfect, in that regard. Some are just more reliable than others. Now, Ferrari is my favorite supercar manufacturer. But I'd take a 720s anyday over a 488 Pista and 911GT2 RS. To each his own.

    $450,000...nope; no fucking way. It looks amazingly fun, but no.

    Wish he’d talk about the build quality... Or lack thereof.

      Daniel R. I’ve had no issues personally with build quality to speak to.

      TheSmokingTire Glad that’s the case, because there are MANY pissed off 720s owners raving about very poor build quality! See a fine example here: czcams.com/video/H7qpUqwLS9o/video.html

      TheSmokingTire Matt- did you notice and chassis flex in spider was coupe .....or does it really feel the same as Mclaren claims?

      @@jameswillard1 They are exactly the same you cannot tell the difference in rigidity.

      TheSmokingTire thats awesome to hear because I drove a 458 Spider several years ago at it was surprisingly wiggly over harsh pavement and lacked the sharpness of the coupe even at moderately hard driving. Thanks for the reply

    I wish they weren’t built so poorly and are so unreliable

      Not unreliable (720s spider) but definitely build quality issues but consider that the company is only 9 years old it's still amazing!
