His reaction at 6:14 to the car snapping the other way was enough for me to leave and go work on my drift car.
what's up with that tho, i like cars but rarely drive one so i dont get it. pardon me for asking.
RoleAce about drifting?
@@RoleAce Essentially what happened there is that Chris provoked the car into a slide in one direction; the track began to curve the other way, and he lifted intentionally to allow the car to pendulum back the other direction. He caught it and transitioned the drift perfectly. Thats very very hard to do smoothly, especially in a car thats not set up for drifting, and especially in a mid-engined car where the weight is over the rear. (the tendencey for them is to just keep rotating.) You can see how fast he moved his hands. That coupled with well timed throttle application allowed the car to transition from a slide in one direction to a slide in the other, without just becoming a spin.
@@DaMusturd already got replied, thanks for asking
@@ThrottleHouse aaaah so he was doing well, i thought he was doing bad hehe. thanks for sparing your time and replying.
3:21 those down shifts....... 🔥
Chris Harris absolute legend. Ive been watching your stuff for so long. Man you still getting better.
Mr. Harris is without peers in the area of vehicle reviews. His driving skills and ability to translate the vehicle response and behavior under pressure is simply superb, he clearly sets the bar high for others. I go as far as to call them auto enthusiast Master Class.👍
Charade is such a pretty and fun track! Great review too 😂
I just wish the "LT" cars were actually LT- *Long Tail*
Look to the Speedtail for that. They don't need to do a LT version.
@@earthstick but just imagine

Hi from Instagram!
@Dreamboat MacGillicutty I think so!
This is the Chris Harris we need to see on TV Top Gear,let the others i.e. Paddy and Freddy make the funnies and you do the real car stuff!
Chris and Neil. The Best.
I believe its got the old school turbo lag because it's derived from a 90s Nissan racing engine. I don't mind because it's an absolutely bullet proof engine and a turbo feeling is fine in a turbo car.
‘Lovely Lotus like feel ...’ that says it all!
I see Chris Harris reviews ( whatever ) and I click - then strangely I hear Carly Simon...……………. " nobody does it better, makes me feel sorry for the rest ……….." and an image of James Bond appears before my eyes --- that is Chris Harris, the best of the best.
these videos with chris harris need to be at least 10 minutes or longer please lol
Mclaren is at the top of their game
Chris, you don't need Freddie or Paddy. Your own show on the beeb would be perfect.........
0:35 Pedator noise lol
Anyone else notice the head rest moving strangely?
Wonder how much set of tires run on this car? I’m sure it needs it after Chris is done with it.
I can see how open diff helps steering using abs to do it’s job. Since limited slip diff will give you push thus end up with some under steer.
Very intresting playful cars especially exhaust place
I honestly think Chris was on to something when he said it wasn't as fast as a GT2RS. I would argue it's not as fast as a GT3RS either on a circuit. And that's what the car is marketed as. "A track toy". This car retails at somewhere around 260 thousand, same with the GT2/3RS, and the Porsche will get around the circuit faster, and it's a far more refined ecosystem. Porsche's aren't going to break down every other lap because of some weird McLaren problem that nobody knows how to fix besides McLaren.
Why haven’t we seen Chris test the gt2 RS??????
Is it just me or is the padding of Chris's seat moving forwards and backwards from the seat itself?
I know what you mean about "add ons" BMW did it with there newer M Sport cars and it looks tacky as some used chewing gum stuck to a Superdry jacket .
Which circuit is this
What track is this
You see Chris on Cars, you press like, simple as that:)
But this is Chris Harris in Top Gear. Not ”on cars”
@@vika0194 Still, gives the same vibe.
Why aren't all things in life so simple!?
Close enough. See 'Chris Harris' press like......
Took the words from my mouth
In a world of some incredible graduate car reviewers, Harris is the PhD among them.
The only guy I'd rather hear over the exhaust note
Informative and interesting, he is great.
Quite the non existent honorary title that I've ever heard of one.
The best. And mustn't forget Neil's camera work.......
How does Shmee even have a following? Chris can drive and educate, the others just spout superlatives!
@@realitychecks2920 Shmee's videos complement Chris - Chris for how it handles on the track, Shmee for the spec and the details. If you're really interested in the car you want to see both.
Nice seeing Pep Guardiola driving 600lt.
Weirdo. Chris harris is his name.
He does look like pep haha
@@cleanyourroom1237 Been watching him before you started pretending to like cars,get out of here man.
Viva españa
Albeit quite a bloated version
Change the name of Top Gear to Chris Harris on Cars and sack the other two muppets (whoever unsuitable people you've employed now) and get Henry Catchpole on there. Then you've got a good program on the go. Been absolutely terrible since the boys left, Harris is your only hope going forward.
and add harry metcalfe to that and youve got a dream team
Harry, Henry and Harris
Chris is much better than the old team...also he know how to ..drive...
kakakourada the old team was stellar in the final seasons. What are you smoking mate?
Henry’s kinda boring actually. Alex Goy is pretty decent though...
But I haven’t seen anything from him in ages.
very interesting---sound like Chris would prefer the 600LT over the Senna. I. would not have predicted that.
I would too. More customizations, cheaper to fix, and IMO looks a little cooler.
I really just want to see chris spend a day in a dedicated formula d drift car.. That would be a video..
YEP
He's into fast road and track cars. Drifting is slow and pointless, unless you are a fast and furious tattooed sort..
Harris is the king of car journos; a 7 minute video goes by in what feels like under 2 minutes. Absolute king.
Backed up by a massive budget BBC, who can hire the best editors. Harris is good though, much better than the other one the BEEB chose.
Don’t know whether to buy one of these or the new Toyota Aygo 🤔🤷♂️
I was leaning towards the Skoda Citigo for a more comfy ride, but then the McLaren comes in nicer colours.. 🤔🤷♂️
Those jokes are getting old
pharaon gaming i mean the joks you crazy
Is a Toyota even a comparison to McLaren?
Buy the aygo more practical ,more reliable and doesn't brake down .
Finally we got the REAL CHRIS HARRIS REVIEWS. THESE REVIEWS ARE BRILLIANT JUST LIKE THEY WERE ON EVO MAGAZINE.
EXCELLENT REVIEW.
4:10 the seat headrest padding is literally falling apart
It’s a prototype
Well that is a test prototype, used and abused since testing.
Chris Harris critiquing cars like this makes me want to work harder so I can see what hes talking about
@@inftreatyisdestroyed4710 nice 🤙
Have you seen a man drift around a track with a 600LT in his boxers? Now you have. 😂
Lmaooo
the headrest looks like its broken!
Need a dab of glue.
Probably it is car that's every journalist used
Its a prototype car, this was probably filmed a long time ago.
Got check panel gaps in person. Terrible assembly.
Wow! This show still has chances of success! Chris Harris is one of the best TV hosts! Good luck!
6:13 that transition drift was so beautiful done!
No-one's intimidated by (or even that impressed) with 600bhp supercars anymore. The F40 put the fear of God into journalists with 478bhp back in the day. Only a select few were thought to have the skill to drive it. Car makers have made supercars accessible to the unskilled which is great for sales of course. Amazing feat of mainly electronic engineering but has something been lost?
F40 have some really savage horses. And the weight has nothing to do with this fat cars from now... I think!!
watch chris' video on the f40. the boost builds while holding steady throttle mid corner and the car is so light (1100kg) that without modern traction control you had to be constantly managing the car.
The 600LT with all driver aids switched off is about the closest thing on the market to an f40 you can buy today hence why he talks about having to be real careful mid corner.
FlyHy I’d say the amg gtr also closest thing, even amg gts edition 1 tuned was a monster and would wrap someone into a pole real fast, modern rendition of my ruf gt2 imo and gt2 was very much like an f40! There are some great modern cars that give you all of that wild thrill, not as cool raw and mechanical as the older stuff of course but in terms of keeping your sensory constantly working and being on edge the amg gtr and 600 lt seems to fit the bill, however I haven’t driven the mclaren yet!
Which is why he seems to prefer this 600LT over the 720S/Senna as he's not 'chasing laptimes' but just wants to have fun and feel connected to the car.
Don't think your argument works as the 600LT in fact is a playful/handsful/challenging/fun car to drive.
Shiznuts if you really just want to have fun you buy a Caterham or Exige, no need to spend £300k just for fun and throwing a car around.
Top Gear - I really feel you've got these videos just right: brilliant and subtle; let Chris do his stuff. Perfect.
i love this baby, McLaren 😭❤️
Chris + Neil = everything we want
Top gear follow that formula, make other dudes do something similar, if capable, and you will be crowned once again.
chris + neil. indeed. 💯 i wish we could get dickie and jethro in there too; show would kill.
the head rest got lose , LMAO .... its a prototype tho.
It was difficult to look at anything else. Good to see Chris joining our beard gang, he does us proud.
My favorite is when Chris Harris drove the p1 . I’ve never seen anyone drive a car so extreme . Great content keep it up 💯
What track is this? It looks stunning
Found it out, it's the circuit de charade, very nice (was even better in the past, kinda reminded me of the Nordschleife)
owners will though this 600LT around a track, The senna's will be in garages going up in value..
Mclaren be like “entry level”
“The mclaren range of street cars is quite confusing”
Good luck explaining 911 range range then lol
911s.are just one model in porsches line up , whereas every single mclaren is basically the same.
At 4:21 I was jealous cause in my car's window the water droplets go vertically but in the 600LT they would go side ways . Hmmm what a great tech !!!
😆😆😆😆😆
"An electric eel on speed."
Legend.
3:26 why so smooth?? Love Chris harris's driving
Chris throwing another McLaren around a track, with 0:08 a bonus bout of epilepsy =)
I like watching Chris drive cars. Especially, when he isn’t throwing em around all over the track but showing their stable nature.
"Asparagus Series" 😂😂😂
0:31 The car was so fast, the sound of hitting apex couldn't catch up.
Makes me want to buy one. Lemme just put my house on the market first. 😂
"You can always tell when you're thinking... you're not talking so much!"
Magnificient machine. Happy New Year.
Yeah we know this is a good car but damm do anyone knows where this track is located ?
France
Circuit de Charade, I had the same question
@@dajobra thanks.
it's right in the middle of the screen at the beginning...
@@mattone926 i didn't notice to the beauty of it ...
Sweet spot of McLaren's track cars. Good summary. Circuit de Charade. Great venue. Les circuits profondes francaise. Walls close all around. No "forgiving zones" ;) Les circuits profondes francaise. Nogaro,Le Luc,Croix en Ternois,Pau Arnos. To name a few.

I bloody love Chris Harris. Top Gear will never be the same without the trio but Chris has been elevated so we see what he can do and we still get to see them do their thing with a huge budget so it can't be a bad thing
One of my favorite ever car review videos, of all time, across youtube or TV or digital broadcast network - is Chris Harris reviewing his Citreon 2CV. He brings so much genuine excitement and love and care to his narrative. If Top Gear turned into the Christ Harris show, I'd be more than happy!
Back in the Day i used to watch all of Mr Harris' videos. Love the passion and realistic approach to cars. I used to say he needs his own show hes that good. Well and clearly spoken relaxed and amazing driver. I think in the top gear series he wasn't himself due to the stupid scripts they develop for the show. End of the day, we need more of him. He is the only one who provides the opinion i need for cars instead of the kids car shows like Shmee (drives like a 70yo woman and has absolutely nothing negative to say about anything because everything is a promotion. (i dont care about your new stripe on your front bumper)
Keep it up Mr Harris
It's beyond me why Mclaren doesn't build their engines without noticeable lag. Heck even my M4 comes close to a n/a throttle feel and response. There are enough technologies out there to minimize the lag to an extent where you barely notice. I wonder what their reason is.
According to Albert Biermann, lag=drama=fun. He said that Hyundai actually builds more lag INTO the new N series cars for that reason.
That one nice track shall i say.....and one nice car 😇😇😇😇😇
Yet another fantastic car from McLaren. These guys are really shaking up the Super car status quo. Brilliant Sport series car with the extra special LT magic dust. Ok its no LIMITED SUPER series 675LT car but for a sport series car its epic. With McLaren probably building 2,000 of the 600LT more people will get to enjoy them versus the original and LIMITED 675LT so it will be interesting to see how this effects residuals. Personally I would buy a nearly new 675LT spider as with only 500 made worldwide its guaranteed to be the more collectable car
If you can have one car Chris out of these 3 models. What would your choice be. A 2019 991.2 GT3 RS, 2019 PORSCHE TURBO S OR THE McLaren 600LT? For street and Track.
Hi Mate, I have had a terrible experience with bmw customer service regarding an m140i exhaust rattle, which is incredibly common. Apparently bmw have replaced the standard exhaust with a valveless MPE for other people but then refuse to do it for me. The bmw sounds like a bloody tractor! If you truly are an unbiased motoring journalist then you must cover this!
McLaren wth the looks of a Lamborghini would be the mutts nuts! The ONLY thing that disappoints is the looks, although I do understand the aero is important with McLaren, watching a 720 destroy cars with 400bhp more convinced me they have made use of the data from F1 to huge advantage. Brilliant British car maker we should be proud of.
Nice car, but: it looks funny like a Citroen (subjective, yes I know) and I've driven crappy 4-bangers with a better exhaust note. That sound has no soul, which is sad, considering the awesome noise a P1 makes.
Headrest was annoying. Top Gear should be Harris, Catchpole, and Goy - no audience no stupid games no challenges. Just beautifully made films like this one and we'd be happy with the BBC showing it everyday.
Why is it that all McLarens basically look the same and use the same turbo V8? Or Koenigsegg for that matter? I’d love to see these companies make something new...
何この訳わからん必死なレビュー。McLaren車を心底所有したい人にとって逆効果でしかない。やっぱり Jeremy Clarkson氏にMcLaren車の楽しさを理屈抜きで語ってほしい
I’ve figured it out. The way he speaks. He speaks about cars the way Gordon Ramsey speaks about food. That direct, passionate, straight to the point no bullshit manner. It’s captivating
McLaren should take the analog greatness of the 570 even further by giving it a proper manual gearbox and pair it with an NA version of their v8. Call it a 470MT.
I felt compelled to add that they might as well call it the Chris Harris show with a better budget, but I see that everyone else has been doing that for me! Personally, I don't have any problems with the show or other presenters. I felt the Clarkson, May, Hammond dynamic was getting a bit stale anyway. But CH in my opinion is better than all of them. Much more relate-able and enthusiastic. Kutgw
You contradict yourself on this video on what you said on the 720s video. Make up your mind. With the 570 and the 720s I see no point or reason for the existence of the 600LT.
Why there isn’t subtitle in videos?I know a little English, but this isn’t enough to understand all spoken,If there is English subtitle,I can understand better.I think you must add it for next videos.
I’m so glad Chris didn’t dumb it down like he does on the actual tv show. Followed from Autocar, Evo, Etc and still love watching him throw a car round a track like a cheap rally car!
I've missed Chris Harris videos. They are simply the best! Love the bonnet/windscreen cam too
And now please please please chop off 2 cylinders, 200hp and 150 kilograms of weight.
Don't mean to bug you Chris but, we're going to need you to get a set of keys to the new GR Supra by Toyota and BMW and give us your take Sir. Please and Thanks.
That click of paddles sound so cheap lol I remember when people complained about the cheap sounding paddles on the C7 corvette. Lol Mclaren sounds just as cheap.
The narration is informative and nice, but I wish they also make videos where they feature just the car. Some nice panning to see all the details, and replay of how the car move and sound through the tracks. Maybe throw some text on screen for the specs.
you know what's funny? that anyone who talks about a Ferrari doesn't need to compare it to other cars, where every time you guys talk about an english car you need to compare to a 458 488 or similar to get an idea to the viewers!
If you don't need a track car, would you go for a 570GT instead? Used ones are quite cheap now compared to their new price.
Mclaren seem to be consistently putting tyres too small on their cars, 2.0 diesel hatchbacks have wider tyres than the 600lt
Harris is the best in the game, period.
Good review. But since this vehicle is a road vehicle and not a track vehicle I can see no reason if you were in the market for a McLaren supercar to buy this before a 720s.
I can’t get into the looks of the new McLarens. The swoopy smiley front ends aren’t my preference. The boldness of the Senna is the exception.
McLaren performance is mental but they all look very similar and this is ugly from the back. Great vid tho.
Different to the old top gear, but, Chris Haris is amazing! So passionate and informative.
Nice, but still if you like to see the best petrolhead show, you need to turn on to the Jeremy, Richard and May show. Simple as that lads
Finally the old Chris Harris videos are back! Just like old times! Love these reviews!
Audi its The Best... Fake Nissan and c63..
Shame that we all need to get used to such dull sounding cars now. You almost forget how a proper sports car used to sound even 10-15 years ago.
It's a bit Larry, I'll admit... but if Chris is having fun, then a bit o' Larry is good,yeah?
I see this car with all its diffusers and carbon fins and gizmo things and I just think...Turbo S
TopGear not using circular polarizers these days? Ouch
