    When watching a British car review I'm always waiting for them to say "It's a proper super/sports car" and he didnt disappoint

    @TheBotanist19 8 років тому +14

    This car lies on the border between supercar and hypercar. Literally on the fucking border. This thing destroys pretty much anything on the drag strip (excluding hypercars of course) and is a monster on the track. And it's perfectly fine on the road as well. Extremely jealous of those who own one.

    One of the best cars money can buy, I don't think there's anything under a million that is actually better. Amazing car.

    • @TheSnoopy1750
      @TheSnoopy1750 8 років тому +10

      Yep, the LT is practically in the hypercar territory (P1, 918 etc.). It actually can be considered a bargain (if you can get your hands on one with it's limited production).

    • @goldennugget223
      @goldennugget223 8 років тому +1

      JosephM1750 a bargain ? How?

    • @TheSnoopy1750
      @TheSnoopy1750 8 років тому +8

      Nate Ksr It gives hypercar performance and pedigree for supercar money.

    • @DWillis7
      @DWillis7 8 років тому +5

      Nate Ksr The car appreciates in value. Limited run. Car is around 330 brand new and spec'd up, going for half a million now if they're spec'd well. Not to mention the performance you get for the cost of the car. I'd take an LT over a 918 any day.

    • @philnleblanc6664
      @philnleblanc6664 5 років тому

      They actually depreciate an incredible amount (except for the F1 and P1). You should look more into McLaren and see how their vehicles are surprisingly unreliable and a maintenance nightmare.

  • @TheGetawayer
    @TheGetawayer 8 років тому +51

    This and the Spyder are the best non-manual cars I have ever driven. Mind you the 570S is 95% up there on the road and has even nicer steering

    • @benkrapf
      @benkrapf 8 років тому +2

      Absolutely, Guido! The 570s is a freak, and an impressively analog experience from a car maker seemingly obsessed with lap times. And it has the best interior McL has ever produced. Thanks for your videos, btw. Can't wait for the next one. :)

    • @TheSnoopy1750
      @TheSnoopy1750 8 років тому

    Strange how in Bangin' Gears the LT wearing Trofeo Rs is barely quicker than the GT3 RS and here it's nearly a second faster on a smaller circuit.

    • @jeffwill4923
      @jeffwill4923 8 років тому

      He's not driving that same LT. It's hard to make such comparison when cars and conditions are different.
      The lap time achieved is about where I had it.

  • @taforth
    @taforth 8 років тому

    This series of videos is among my favourite. It started with the 918/P1 vid which remains a benchmark in removing the BS that had been spewed at the 918, in that it wasn't as good or fast as the P1 and FLF. We all want the truth Jethro - keep it up!

  • @BlueL1n3
    @BlueL1n3 7 років тому

    It hit me in this video that Jethro's style is very similar to Chris Harris's style, while I was pondering this he said "mega" and it sealed it for me. Really enjoying his reviews.

  • @SS8000cars
    @SS8000cars 8 років тому +1

    I guess we need to put a 918 on Trofeo R Tyres at Anglesey to get some perspective on all this. Otherwise we are simply not comparing like for like. V twisty circuit Anglesey which must negate at least some of the additional power the 918 and P1 have over the 675LT.

    • @titchster
      @titchster 8 років тому

      What it IS comparing is the two cars as they come from the showroom. A response to your argument could be to give the LT extra power, otherwise we're not comparing like for like, give the LT hybrid tech, etc etc. Trying to equalise the differences could just go on until you have exactly the same car.

    • @SS8000cars
      @SS8000cars 8 років тому

      Good point except we both know this is not going to happen. Given I know the place I'd like to see what sort of time the 918 can set on extreme rubber against those set by the P1 and LT.

  • @SuperPendulous
    @SuperPendulous 8 років тому

    • @thelarry383

    • @dekingburger
      @dekingburger 8 років тому +3

      Speciale is running Michelin Cup 2`s. They are track tires.

    • @MagniB
      @MagniB 8 років тому

      Trofeo R's are much more aggressive than Cup2's

    • @faster6329
      @faster6329 8 років тому

      Don't think so. But even if it has such tires it still doesn't have all the advantages the others have. So a great engine, chassis and good tires.
      No twin turbo, no AWD, no AWS, and no BIG wings. Hey, and NO carbon fiber chassis :)

    • @jeffwill4923
      @jeffwill4923 8 років тому

      @d0718 8 років тому +1

      Aventador SV can replace the F12 if it has to be mid-engined (or rear-engined, cos GT3 RS is on the list and its not going anywhere, since its the best closed top supercar out there)

    • @toddlithgow

    • @jeffwill4923
      @jeffwill4923 8 років тому +2

      People always over look the sizes here. The fronts on LT are smaller then 1's on the normal GT3. Only the rears are the same at 305. RS are even bigger then Corsa's on P1.

    • @farnum3297
      @farnum3297 8 років тому +2

      .. and people always overlook the weight distribution deciding tire size, the main reason for the wide rears on the GT3/RS is the weight distribution. just saying :)

    • @jeffwill4923
      @jeffwill4923 8 років тому

      GT3 and RS weigh similar with all options. 650S coupe and spyder tires uses the same sizes as the lighter LT. 650S spyder is heavier then either GT3.
      Mclaren likes smaller tires to help the car behave on street and better steering control.
      Porsche clearly wanted a performance gap between the 2, which would explain the larger tires on RS.
      The recent test at VIR with C&D had RS around 3150lbs. C&D mentioned the deleted options threw off the balance of the GT3 RS. Drivers reported understeer in the slower corners.

  • @AJBtheSuede
    @AJBtheSuede 8 років тому +5

    So.... Are we assuming that the owner of a GT3RS, a 911turboS, a 488GTB or 458 speciale can't afford to put down the relatively small amount of money required to buy a set of rims and semi-slicks like the ones this McLaren is delivered with? And how much faster would they be then (than the times reported here)?
    Yes, track-specialized tires can make one or even several seconds of difference around a track, depending on the track. On Anglesey the difference is almost exactly 1.5s for most cars. So, on normal street tires, the 675LT is about as quick as the discontinued 458 speciale....

    • @QuickQuips
      @QuickQuips 8 років тому +2

      It's the reason the super/hypercar debate is meaningless. Weather conditions, tires, and the person will ultimately make laptimes since the agility and acceleration of these cars are so close together. It's probably marketing why manufacturers like Ferrari and Porsche that make million dollar hypercars aren't putting Trofeo Rs on their lower end models is to avoid potential embarrassments.

    The "mighty GT3 RS" was tied by the Turbo S, which you can get for almost $100k less than the RS and half the price of the LT. Turbo S might not sound the best, but it's damn strong pretty much everywhere on road or track.

    • @derbigpr500

      Turbo S would wipe the floor with the 675LT and the P1 on anything but a perfectly smooth and dry race track. Give them regular roads with different surfaces, non-ideal temps, bumps, camber changes, etc. and no Mclaren out there can live with the 911 Turbo S. Let's not even bring the 918 into the equation because that's just in a whole different universe. The only reason Mclarens are as fast on the track is because of their incredibly aggressive track setup and very aggressive tires which are useless outside of the track.

      You just sound like a real butthurt Porsche fan boy and a McLaren hater. Both McLaren and Porsche have ways of making their cars fast. Porsche for example uses 4WD and 4 wheel steering whilst McLaren on the other hand uses Tires, more Aero/Downforce to make their cars faster. Their both brilliant engineering. There's no need for your attacks on McLaren. You're only hurt because the GT3 RS is slower than the LT. And btw the Trofeo Rs on the LT are road legal

    • @benkrapf
      @benkrapf 8 років тому

      Kazuya Jin Yup. No reason to hate on McL. Their cars are amazing, and given enough road, even the Turbo S can't live with the 650S's power band. The Super Series' suspension is also leagues better than Porsche's... and a used 650S can be had for not much more than a new Turbo S...

      @Novemdecillion " a used 650S can be had for not much more than a new Turbo S" - that's a double edge sword isn't it? It depends on which side of the trading hands you are on.
      Actually McLaren, currently, has a bad reputation among collectors. They put out so many models that they dilute the initial value of their vehicles.
      On the other hand - fuck collectors :)

      Exactly. Purchasing used is an amazing deal, regardless of potential reliability issues.

    • @Joe_Cribben

      I'd say the Turbo S has the most impressive time, a car that useable being that fast is incredible.

      Joe Cribben GT3RS is NA..and has 500hp..most impressive

    • @ALMX5DP
      @ALMX5DP 8 років тому +2

      I'd agree initially with Joe. Turbo S carries around over 400 extra lbs, has less performance oriented tires, and is usable on a level that nearly matches a hot hatch. That ability with the time it got says it's nearly got it all.

    • @weed46
      @weed46 8 років тому +8

      The Turbo S is because the Turbo S did this lap on normal Pzero, the GT3RS did in Cup 2 tires

    • @rfouR_4
      @rfouR_4 8 років тому +6

      Well I'd reckon that the P1 has more to gain going onto a set of tropheo tires than the 675 would. That even if you put them both on the higher spec tire the margin would widen due to the weight and power difference. P1 just had trouble putting power down on the standard tire in track use. Also this circuit doesn't really allow a P1 to really leverage it's massive horsepower numbers in any case because it's mostly just sweeper after sweeper. Less weight on essentially the same platform it's not really surprising. On say the Nürburgring with its huge uphill straights the gap would widen.

    • @jameslovett8697
      @jameslovett8697 8 років тому +3

      100% agree.....tighter tracks and on street tyres the P1 isnt much faster at all.

    • @derbigpr500
      @derbigpr500 8 років тому +2

      There is not a track in the world where P1 is faster than the 918 on the same tires. Whoever is responsible for that 3 second difference on Silverstone can't drive properly.

    • @flacjacket
      @flacjacket 8 років тому +3

      Yes it absolutely is and why shouldn't it be? Take one look at the stats, the P1 weighs 600 pounds less than a 918. When you get to the price is no thing extreme engineering level that these cars are at weight reigns supreme, and less is always better. It also makes 30 HP more and thanks to being turbo charged a lot more torque besides. Then there is the claimed down-force and CoD advantage. The only tracks on which the 918 will be faster are tracks with tight corner exits where the AWD gives the 918 the advantage. don't get me wrong, the 918 is an incredible car, but I don't think anyone with any depth of engineering knowledge would be at all surprised that the P1 would be significantly faster than the 918 on most open, grand prix style circuits. Also the Trofeo R's are in the same performance segment as the Cup 2's on the 918, DOT compliant R comps.

      Probably, but the 675LT really needs a locking diff to handle that much power to the rear

    At 1:06 you can see that it is already falling apart. Fast, but that is simply bad quality or bad design. Same thing happened on Top Gear, in a comparison between a McLaren, Ferrari and Audi. The Ferrari had damage on the underside, the McLarens wheel rims were damaged, all just from driving the things, and the Audi was fine.

    • @Brodfertykons
      @Brodfertykons 8 років тому

      So? Stones are present on all roads. If your extremely expensive car has damage like this after a road trip, you would be pissed of. Maybe they should fit a rubber strip on 'sensitive' locations.
      (I am assuming press cars are not specifically susceptible to road pebbles.)

    Really man, better than a P1? Or is it just that you were too scared in a P1 after you ruined the Corsas? 675LT was built taking elements from the P1 so its like a baby P1. Plus the Trofeo R gives it alot more grip.
