Correction - This Car has a 3.8L V8 and not a 3.7...what was I thinking 🤔
Great video Peter, the 600 LT is a very beautiful car, it’s a 21st century piece of sculpture, stunning to look at from every angle. The 570 ? Pretty darn gorgeous too. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Cheers
Geof
The detail of the carbon fibre work is stunning. The closer you look at it the more beautiful it becomes. Amazing craftsmanship !
The video was brilliantly put together Pete!! And the 600lt is a very special car
Cheers Sam. I did my best with the time I had with the car...and the failing light !
this is a very nicely put together video, nice scene transitions and those McLarens are so tempting - one day !
Roger Bailey , Roger, not to be a troll but, don’t you think driving one of those anyone would look an absolute plonker .really.
@@banjopete I see your point
One day mate but need to pay that mortgage off first :-0
In that case I'd love to look like a plonker !
Hi Ped
Mouthwatering!
Another great video in your own style, well done. If that lucky ticket every came through it would be 570S for me.
Cheers Philip, you'd be in the queue behind me ;-)
Amazing looking car. McLaren are producing some stunning models these days and that’s coming from a big Ferrari fan. I drove a 720S a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed.
So you enjoyed that then Mr Ped! My dream car and by the look of this video it was up there in your top cars too!
Oh yes. They make quite an impression on you. They are so special to drive and yes a 570S Spider would be a dream car. At £150k ish more of an achievable dream that the £200k+ 720S which is a car I hope to drive one day !
As I get older, the allure of a 200 mph, plus hypercar, doesn't thrill me like the 600LT. So given the choice, I would choose a McLaren, Lamborghini or Porsche, over any hypercar...Unless someone were to give me one. HAHA! Great video Pete!
Have one of these and keep the change. Arguably more useable by the average driver ?!
I like the exhausts on the 600 with the Porsche 918 style exhausts. Very stylish. Though I still wonder just how much rainwater would get down there in a real heavy downpour if the car was parked up somewhere :-\...
However, for me, those bucket seats would make it a big no no. 30 years ago, maybe!!
I thought it was funny, when you were sat in the traffic, the amount of other drivers who just stared at the 570. Looks like you enjoyed your short foray in it though :-))...
And I can only guess the 4 negatives to this video are Ferrari fans? :-))...
Great video though Pete. Nice one mate :-))...
We had people taking pictures of us in that traffic jam !
@@PetrolPed - They were taking photo's of the famous CZcamsr, not the car!! :-))...
Oh Peter, I'm only a few miles away from you! Just over the bridge in Newport. Wish I knew you were in the area, I'd have invited you in for a coffee. That McLaren would look rather nice sat on my drive, except its probably worth more than my 3 bed semi. Ha. Cheers, Jon.
That's a shame Jon, I would have liked to meet up. I had a pretty full on day, recording this and the Cullinan video in the same day !
Great vid and such a beautiful car your so lucky ! My Dream car is the 720 S.
I'd love a 720S too...really need to get to drive one of those !
I respectfully disagree that the 600LT is the best Mclaren or that it’s the best bang for buck in the range. With a few options it’s price goes squarely into 720S territory and I know I’d rather have that real world near 800hp and daily drivability and comfort of that car. The 720S is practically the perfect supercar. It’s in gear performance is a match for the 918 spyder at a fraction of the price.
Just a title to ignite some debate ;-) I agree the 720S is stunning in every way. I've yet to drive one though :-(
@@PetrolPed Ok admit it, you've spent time configuring your own 720S on the Mclaren site ;) I've done it at least 50 times! A lot of people aren't impressed with the 720S exhaust note but Novitec solved that. Search "Novitec 720S" here on CZcams and turn up the volume :) It's epic!
675LT is the car to have. Its the McLaren sweetspot. Outstanding LIMITED car that's gone from £100k over list price to £50k under in the last 9 months. Got to be the biggest bang for your buck along with a used 720S at £200k if that look and GT cruiser style floats your boat more than the rawer more exciting LT experience but in reality the 720S still isn't anywhere near as good or as much fun as the 675LT. And sadly the 720S is FUGLY
918s was also 350k+ used 3 years ago. Only spiked up after production stopped.
That's why a 675LT is a must buy now at todays over corrected low prices. Its swung £150k in price which makes it a complete steal right now. Once 600LT's start getting delivered and are all gone 675LT will shoot up again not just because its an amazing car but because its severely LIMITED
Brilliant work as usual !
Cheers Matt :-)
Awesome, a serious beast.
Good video
Thanks Dominic...Mega car !
Looking forward to this one Mr Ped.
Hi Ped
Bring it on!
6.00pm cannot come soon enough.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure :-)
*very very nice car that 600LT*
Oh yes !
OMG What an utterly stunning car.
Oh yes...I'd love to drive one !
Great vid bud, still to this day haven’t driven a McLaren and cannot wait to hopefully one day get a go.
Shame you didn’t get a go driving the 600LT quite possibly my favourite car of the moment, it’s the 600LT, Porsche GT2RS or the GT3RS .... couldn’t choose
I’ve driven a 991 GT3 RS on track and it was really very special. The only time I have really felt aero at work ! That and the 570s are the best cats I’ve driven so far on PP 👍
Petrol Ped yeah I hear amazing things about the 570S also, kinda the all you need in a mega quick car all in one but still a proper drivers car.
At the beginning of the video I thought how much of a tease is that letting you sit in the 600lt but not take it out, then you got to drive the 570s which has got to be pretty damn special in itself! and for the 2nd time? lucky git..........might pop up to Mclaren Bristol tomorrow and see if they will do a deal on a px with a little tikes car, some belly button fluff and some magic beans (tin of baked beans with MAGIC written on it in black marker) ;-)
Adam Bishop Lol 😂 My dream Cars the 720s even if I got to sit and have a passenger ride in one I’d be greatful.
LOL...them there is magic beans !!!
@@PetrolPed Looks like my trip to Mclaren Bristol today is off as just got pulled over by the police on the M5 motorway!, I thought that they had pulled me for speeding but apparently they said that I shouldn't be driving my little tikes car in the fast lane on the motorway, oh well learn something new everyday ;-)
Great video as ever... Your down -to-earth ness really differentiates you from the (you know who) others. I could be wrong but I think it's a 3.8, not 3.7 for both the 570 and 600LT?
I know 😳
I had such a short period of time with the car. Not sure why I said 3.7 instead of 3.8 but only spotted it when I got home. Please forgive me 🙏🏻😜
Another week, another 'new' McLaren. I'll start being impressed by them when they do something about reliability.
Good review, though Pete 🙂
You’ve nailed the music too. Awesome
Found the second piece of music and thought...gotta use that !!!
Right up my street that is pal. Even at 44 yrs old.
I even tried the Shazam route. Lol
Very nice Definitely on my Lotto wish list. 👍🏁🏁
Oh Yes 👍
This is the pick of the crop
I've only seen one McLaren out in the wild, and I was shocked how much better it looked in the flesh than in photos and videos. I think it's one of those cars that don't show their best side in pictures. One thing from your video that made me wonder was - with those 2 exhausts blowing flames if driven "eagerly", they looked like they'd BBQ the rear wing. If I point this fault out to McLaren do you think they'd give me free motor as a reward? ;-)
That is why, as pointed out at the beginning of the vid, there is special heat protection on the wing...so it doesn't melt ;-)
I wholeheartedly agree. Seeing a 720s in person completely changed my perspective on Mclarens, I always saw them as the pinnacle of engineering, yet machines without any flair, how wrong I was! Genuinely stunning cars to behold.
Petrol Ped It’s not just a shield, the coating is so advanced it was designed so that once you have driven the car hard, by the time you have switched off the engine, got out and walked round to the rear you can touch the wing without burning your hand!
Mclaren, Porsche, BMW, Chevy. In that order
I was wondering what the reasoning was for the top mount exhaust, and you did answer...to "clean up" the air flow around the tail...that's a good enough reason!
I tried to imagine the expression of the truck driver at 12:43 as your dropped a gear and sped off down the road ... that could get to be a habit, as you say ... :D
Cheers!
Oh yes. It doesn’t take much effort to get past people 😂
Amazing motor 👍👍
Cheeky little cut in at the end there... Driving to "The System" were we.... lol!!
Shhhh ;-)
Petrol Ped Remember, “More white, more shite...!!”
Thanks Pete.
My pleasure :-)
Wow!
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvveeeee it!
Can’t wait 😉
One of my favourite cars at the moment :-)
Am I the only only one thinking if you wash it the water will go straight down those cool exhaust pipes?!
Maybe put tennis balls in them while you wash it !
Oooohhh yeeeeeeeeeees
it's really expensive. what's worse is how expensive it is to own with the service costs, insurance, etc. I wish i could get a 5 year old used one in the future for under 90K pounds. But it will never be that cheap.
Nope, you might get a 12C for that ;-)
Don't want to be pedantic but the 600LT is NOT limited to 500/500. Production is not a finite number but determined by a timeframe. make no mistake McLaren will make as many of them as they can and given order books are strong I'm expecting 800 coupes and 1200 spiders. Biggest bang for your buck is a LIMITED 500/500 675LT which has gone from £100k over list price to £50 k under now. Funny as the car hasn't got any worse in the last 9 months
I know...totally my bad :-( I remember reading that when it launched but then when I shot the film for some reason I said it would be 500 units !!! Very annoying :-(
Don't worry its not the first or only bit of mis information on the internet. Had to pull you up for it as it was the main fact of not being limited that I cancelled my 2 600LT orders and bought a 675LT spider instead. Forget which is the better car ( personally I still think its the older SUPER series 675LT with active aero and hydraulic suspension ) but now at similar money simple supply and demand will mean the 675LT will be the better financial proposition. Early 600LTs made trade for a reasonable profit but once the hype has died down they will be under list as more people offload. I wonder if the 750LT will follow the same suit of not being a limited finite number leaving the original and best 675LT as the only truly LIMITED LT car
*Question* Do you remember a period in the late noughties when Ferrari were terrible in F1 but were making incredible road cars. Do you think the same thing in happening at McLaren?
In a nutshell, is the company running the F1 team on a shoe string to keep their fans happy and for filling contracts whilst the real big budget and focus is on road car development?
Also, why wouldn’t they develop their own F1 engine?
The car business and things like race ECUs are where they make their money 👍
Ah, another great kiwi icon.
Although I am not a fan of McLaren. Moves me not.
Can't get the Senna out of my head though?
You lucky Devil you. That is pure car porn.
Cheers Roberto...I agree :-)
Can you review the alpine a110?????
I'd love to !
Thought there was no numbers limit only they will build it for 1 year.
Now you mention it I think you are right...my bad 😥
That’s a terrible route for a test run! Cribbs Causeway at teatime rush hour tests your patience more than the car...they should have let you have it for 24 hours!😱😀
I know !
Didn’t have much option sadly as the drive was at the end of a long day filming 😥
😀😀😀....next time maybe!!
Can I have one for Christmas please???? I can PM my address lol.
I wonder if you have any thoughts on owners experiences with McLaren cars ? I appreciate it may not be something you're prepared to investigate and report about.
Not that'll ever be able to afford to own one Jay's latest video is insightful on the ownership experience, or is he way off the mark czcams.com/video/4SmqNaUqTGo/video.html
I can’t really comment as I’ve never owned one 😜
I didn't like the exhaust note. Very special supercar otherwise.
Better under load and full throttle 👍
Yellow calipers need to go on white car blue callers on blue imho
blur your speedo, no one needs to know your 5 miles over the limit lol
Oops !
Dear guys, youtubers, publishers, when you begin to understand, that is is much MORE interesting to watch the driving from the car view (inside the car) - like the watching man is driving (like in POV video). And it is not interesing to watch the author's face. Yes, we can look at your face in the beginning, when you introduce the car. But not while driving. For me it would be nicer to enjoy the car, but not the talking face.
I use POV or front mounted cameras whenever I can. Talking to and engaging with the audience is also important so I try and strike a balance. The one challenge with POV footage is that even if you go just 1mph over the speed limit you can't use it. As you can imagine, a tricky issue sometimes !
What’s with all the “PS” nonsense? Just Euro bollocks trying to replace good old BHP! They did it with kph and kilos and now they’re trying on with this rubbish. Brits should stick with MPH, BHP and the good old pound!
Imperial Rules!!
😜😆🤓😚👍🏴🇬🇧!!
LOL !
