00:00 It's hard to overstate how mind boggling the 720 is,
00:04 just in terms of sheer straight ahead thrust.
00:07 There's just nothing like it.
00:09 (engine revving)
00:11 Two big things happened with the advent of the 720.
00:19 There's this just impulsive quickness to this motor now,
00:22 plus it actually sounds decent.
00:25 Listen.
00:26 (engine revving)
00:28 And then number two, mechanical grip.
00:30 I remember very well with the 675LT
00:33 when you switched all the electronics off, it spun.
00:36 It was a devil of a car to control.
00:39 So whatever change they made, this sucker is planted.
00:43 (engine revving)
00:45 So one advantage McLaren has over all its rivals
00:49 is that the center section of the car
00:51 is made from carbon fiber.
00:52 What that means is when you cut the roof off
00:54 to make it a convertible,
00:56 you don't have to stiffen the chassis,
00:57 so you're not adding unnecessary weight.
00:59 It's already way stiffer than steel and like twice as light,
01:02 so win-win.
01:05 Boy, if you're gonna buy a supercar,
01:06 like why not buy this one?
01:08 I can't really think of any reason.
01:10 Feels bulletproof.
01:11 I mean, it's just...
01:12 (engine revving)
01:15 Just buy the car.
01:17 Just, just get it.
01:18 Yeah, if you have a 400 grand laying around
01:21 and you know what to do with it.
01:23 As always, thank you so much for watching.
01:25 I'm on social media, Motor Trend's on social media.
01:28 We've got all kinds of cars.
01:29 Give us a follow and we'll see you next time.
01:32 I should probably turn around now,
01:33 but I think I'm just gonna keep driving.
01:35 (engine revving)
01:36 (upbeat music)
01:39 (upbeat music)
01:41 (upbeat music)
