- McLaren 675LT Spider vs New Ford GT!
3x races head-to-head and data for 1/4 mile times. Win a dream car and £50,000 cash with BOTB: bit.ly/Win-Your-Dream-Car-Plu...
It's Shmeemobile drag race time with two supercars against one another with the McLaren 675LT Spider and Ford GT! Both cars are of similar weight, with about the same amount of power, and on paper quite hard to tell them apart with both claiming 10.8 seconds for the 1/4 mile sprint.
The McLaren 675LT Spider has a 3.8l TT V8 with 675hp and 700Nm, against the Ford GT with a 3.5l TT V6 making 656hp and 746Nm, with both cars weighing approximately 1,350kg, having 7 speed DCT gearboxes, and sending all of the power to the rear wheels with a launch control mode for maximum performance.
With three races head to head, joined by Christian from BOTB to pilot the 675LT Spider while I take the wheel of the Ford GT, let's see how they actually shape up... prepare to be surprised!

Where was the upset? The LT won as expected...
Awesome race ... Senna next ?
Looks like you might have to tune the GT😁
Shmee150 Awesome Video I'm not Surprised that your 675LT Spider beat your Ford GT in the 1/4 mile and I think it should go against your Senna
@@stubones says you.
In the words of Mat Watson from carwow “ That McLaren just buggers off “
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😂😂😂😂😂😂LOVE CARWOW
😂😂🤣🤣
„So what exactly happened“ 😄
"Let's have ourselves a count down shall we" could listen to this all day lol
The same Mat Watson who has a deposit on a Tesla Plaid?.. Time for another Drag Race!
Ford really came through with the design of the GT. The car, for me, is one of the best looking available no matter the year. It's up there with the Chiron, the Mura, Aventador, La Ferrari, and a short list of others. 👍✌
I agree, I love the look of that Ford GT. I'd add the Saleem S7 to that list of incredibly good looking cars.
@@kyleeisenhauer5501 Oh yeah, gorgeous car. I remember when Doug reviewed it, but couldn't fit himself in the drivers seat to actually drive it. lol
Those borrowed design cues from the Acura nsx (integrated side sill intake) and Nissan 2020 vision grand turismo concept (rear) really paid off for ford's GT
@@roblockhart6104 WHAT!!! are you talking about! Ford definitely DID NOT copy from those stinking Japanese vehicles!
@@rockandroll4689 right, like they seriously came up with, and designed it in a basement, after hours when everyone else went home, in only a few days. Only true part is, in the age of Autocad and 3D printing, anything can be built in a day. The only cars that had these design cues were the aforementioned nsx and Nissan 2020. Ford seemingly came up with their own fusion of the two, which has nothing to do with the 40 or GT prior to it.
Why do I say this? Because Ford has been known to take shortcuts in the past using Ferrari specifically for technology jumps. The last Ford GT was a reversed engineered Ferrari 360 Modena. Bet you didn't even know that.
I was hoping the Ford GT would win, even though I already knew it didn't have much of a chance at doing so since it was built to be more of a road course corner carver. I'd still rather have the GT. That is one GORGEOUS machine!
not even an impressive track car either lol
@@spike8642 How is the Ford GT not impressive on the track?
Shadow Wolf overpriced, underproduced, underwhelming, overhyped, didnt perfrom for what ford tries to make it is
@@spike8642 Price is for heritage, the advanced performance parts and the entire carbon fiber tub body and you can easily sell the car for millions to collectors making your money back with tons of profit, Ford purposely limited the production of the car to keep it special and hold its value even more, the Ford GT beat the crap out of all car companies at Le Mans which is what made the hype for the car rise and have not seen anyone disappointed with owning a Ford GT, It performs perfectly to what Ford engineers designed it to do, this car won at Le Mans and is now a legendary piece of car history you can buy, so I ask you again, how is the performance of the Ford GT not impressive on the track?
Shadow Wolf the old one yes. and obviously the value will rise or you’ll get you’re return because they’re so limited. it doesn’t make it special it makes it dumb
I’d take the Ford, no questions or hesitation. Ford power and the GT’s history is legendary.
yea
Smart Fortwo over anything tho
@@lucajack007 ^
The guy in the GT for that first run, can't drive !
Same.
675LT is definitively a car i would love to own.. and if i had the choice of colour.. Volcano Red. :3
I nearly ordered one in Volcano Red back at the time!
White
Nah Napier Green rocks
@@gazzabrownhigh8891 There's this thing called personal preference. :)
Where I work we had a yellow one in the other day and it looked Amazing
Shmee your 675LT is simply stunning, never sell it
@Brandon Humphrey Better how?
@Brandon Humphrey they are both great cars, just that the 675 is more track focused, while McLaren built the GT more as a highway cruiser, but with Supercar performance and dynamics
@@christopherdovban5789 gt is not a highway cruiser it’s much more track focused like the 675 that’s why it has active aero and insane aerodynamics
@@amongussussyhotpocket9071
both are active aero
Pick 1 to race: I’d have the 675LT
Pick 1 to own: I’d have the Ford GT
Haha. Same here. But can afford none.😂
That noise when the stones are hitting, mahn 🥶
So true 🤯🥴
Yea half mill for car to run through the gravel smh.
That 675LT means serious business… such a rocket that thing👌🏼
Can’t wait for the shmuseum reveal
nice pfp
@@chiron9536 you two are a match made in heaven
lol
I'd take the GT home, it's got 650hp and looks amazing, that's miles more than enough power for anyone on the road.
Would be interested to see some lap times to see what handles better out of those two?
my man
The ford gt does 7:52 on the Nuremberg, and the 675lt does 7:21. Shows really who the top g of the cars are. Also if you want a actual v6 track car, the gt2 rs is way better in every aspect and it’s 300k cheaper lol. Euro on top.
@@Thegoatgregory euro on top of what most people in Europe drive cars I could put in the bed of my f150 4 door 4x4 .and they will all have electric shitboxes soon.
@@jennykirk9516 so it’s a flex to have a f-150 💀 I can put two of those in a semi truck. Also incorrect. The day they go fully electric is the day everyone does. Out of anything, your American muscle cars will die out and become electric before our amazing euro cars do.
@@jennykirk9516 your just Butt hurt that we make everything better, even we built a better mucle car engine (the w204) than any of your hemis could reach. Y’all do make a impressive super charged car, but their all stuck in boxy leads leads. Its just a waste.
I bet that the 675LT actually has more horsepower than listed. Maybe Shmee could give it a Dyno run, I'd be very interested.
Not really an upset, most people knew what would happen.
Well, some people, not all people!
@@britishagent you must not understand the definition of most.
Most people would assume a supercar would win against another one half the price.
It's like the Aventader, only people who watch races or tests would know it's really slow for its price.
@@jamisonz3365 you know the Ford is 450k right? And the 675lt is anywhere between 230k to 600k from what I just looked at for new/used.
I'd say they are similarly priced
And remember when Misha walked Tim's 675 in a 570s...
I remember that!
And walked a tuned 570s too with a stock one!
Yes that was incredible. One said that the launch control on the 570 is quicker.
Ah, i remembered that, beaten by the aero. 😂
I've only ever ridden in a Ford GT. I have to say that it was an incredible experience.
Was it like getting fingered
Thanks, Shmee! The look on Christian's face at 14:16 said it all. This looked like great fun.

The GT is just a work of art
Agreed! that bodywork especially view from the rear end is Stunning to look at!
It's a real life batmobile. It even looks like it could separate into the batpod.
Gt4 vs Aston would be an interesting head to head love the videos boss man can't wait for the shmuseum
Those would be quite close I suspect, all about the clutch work
@@Shmee150 ahh screw it rolling race it is 😂😂
Just incredible vehicles! Outcomes don’t really matter. Thanks Tim
The Lt rev needle couldn't keep up in 2nd gear
Love that thing
I love the GT, just wish it was a bit faster in a straight line.
Agree
GT sold on its name alone. V6 with old engine
@@Shmee150 maybe some future modifications???
I know it’s subjective but I think straight line performance, especially for track oriented cars, isn’t that important.
I hated new Ford GT just because it lacks incredibly in terms of acceleration when it costs so much, and it would never redeem itself no matter how much people praised it's performance and for how good looking it is.
Hell yes! This is the exact type of video I keep telling multiple youtubers that have a large fleets! Drag race cars that we haven't seen before and just see what happens!
The car companies push against it! They will get taken of the list to get the top cars if they make certain cars look back!
Looks like you both enjoyed yourselves.
Hope the drivetrains were OK afterwards!
Great to see those two cars up against each other, I'd like to see you do the same thing with those two cars around the track
8:02 Race 1
9:50 Race 2
11:28 Race 3
Bless your soul
Right on ,I was hoping someone was cool enough to post the times lol
I love when you make these drag races.
Your cars are so powerfull
Glad you like them!
NIce to see a bit of 'sport' with the the sports cars.
675 has been my Lock Screen on my phone for a few years, I’d love to get a chance to drive one
Love seeing the Shmee mobiles go head to head agains one another
The most hardworking and consistent youtuber, props to shmee
Thanks for the support
Yeah, flexing how much money he has its very hardworking
@@michaelkillerman 🤡
@@michaelkillerman STFU
@@michaelkillerman u clearly haven’t watched hiss videos clown
As an American.... I say.... "It should have been a V8"....
hopefully they make it Hybrid V6
That's why the new gen of muscle cars are getting DESTROYED on the track vs older japanese sport cars. I run circle around the latest Hellcats and Demons. Sure they are slightly faster at the drag, but on the track? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@shadowblack1987 There are lighter V8 engines,,,, not every V8 is a LS,,
100% absolutely!
@@shadowblack1987 i notice you mentioned the absolute worst of the American V8 cars on a track: the Dodges. Older Japanese sports cars won’t hold a candle to a GT350, GT500, or Camaro ZL1. Not to mention a Corvette. So, good for you for beating some old man in a Challenger, but you would get smoked by one of the American V8 cars that’s actually meant to turn.
Also, I guarantee your car is HEAVILY modified to be able to beat that Hellcat. The only “older Japanese sports car” that I can think of that would beat a Hellcat around a track stock is the Lexus LFA.
Hey Tim, great video. I wanted to ask, does the Paint Protection Film protect the underbody from getting scratched by the stones when you're going at over 150 mph? Or does the car body ultimately get scratched here and there?
Let me get this straight. You are worried about rock chips under the car body? Must be a fan of anal bleaching.
Bruh Shmee is a lucky lucky guy. Imagine spending a day in his shoes. I love that he doesn't just garage queen his cars. Such an inspiration

675:LT is Mclaren’s best car
No, the p1 is
What about the 356 can am
I'd say F1.....
I agree
@@DrWillis1990 yea I should have said apart from the F1 👍🏻
I've been waiting to see the 675Lt in motion again
Awesome video! My two top favorite cars in one video. I'm bummed the GT didn't win also, but like you, couldn't have lost to a better car. Good of you to mention what the GT was built for and it's superiority in that segment of auto racing. Keep up the great work!
Great Race, love both cars 🔥🔥🔥
I can’t wait to see you racing both of them at the Ring!
What upset? Only a craz y person would have expected the GT win lol
@Underground Racing Lamborghini Well, Le Mans race cars are not exactly the same as production models.
@Underground Racing Lamborghini and you told us something useful? 🤦♂️
I'd take the Ford GT any day of the week, hands down, better looking and style, i wouldn't lose sleep over this race, both great machines, but FORD GT is my pick.
Reinforces everything I’ve always thought about the GT.
McLaren sure know how to get a car to plant it’s power properly
Hi Shmee, I noticed in the last couple of videos you seem more relaxed than before
Hmmmm, not sure! Fully stressed out mode at the moment getting ready for the Shmuseum reveal on Friday!
@@Shmee150 I think you’re doing a good job of not making it obvious lmaoo. Better then me for sure.
He’s probably knackered.
@@Shmee150 well I hope you had a good time if you gave the choice I would have the mclaren
@@Shmee150looking forward to it. Will this be a permanent location you will eventually grow into or something to start this next 5 or so years?
Being a traditional Ford racing fan, I wanted to see the GT40 kick some ass. But it's obvious your 675LT would have none of that. What a great car that is you have. Great show!
It's not a GT40. Just a GT
American track cars are nothing to euro. It’s like if Mercedes tried to make a drag car, it would just be destroyed by all of the American drag cars.
Didn't expect that to be honest. Amazing
Love these 2 cars. Def on the list of money-no-issue dream cars in the garage.
Really surprising! That 675LT is a beast 👍
After missing out on so many adventures in the past years and not getting that much love.. The 675LT deserves all the love today and more for the brilliant car it is
I’d like to see the C8 Z06 up against both of these cars. Similar performance for a lot less money.
These 2 cars are way lighter than the C8 Z06, the Corvette won’t stand a chance.
@@williamduval9856 I’ve seen one race already between a C8 Z06 and the Ford GT and it was close. But the GT costs $350K more.
Your 675LT is my favorite car. I
Still go back and watch old videos on it. Cheers
Not that surprising..the GT is overpriced for its performance
It's better on track. Think more reliable as well and not that expensive to maintain like the others.
@@mufc_kenny8186and she is fkn gorgeous while doing all the above...
Tim, I don't think on the track, the Ford GT will be necessary the quicker of the two as you suggested. Here are lap times for comparisons on various tracks that both have done. Granted these were not done on the same day but it'll give you some idea. At Angelsey Coastal the times are 1:14.23 (GT) vs 1:12.80 (LT). At Willow Springs, the times are 1:23.69 (GT) vs 1:24.29 (LT). At the
Motortrend Figure-8 course, 0:22.70 (GT) vs 0:22.40 (LT).

It would be fun to see the gearing differences. That seems to be the difference. One more for a road car.
The Shmeemeister Strikes again!
that british airways 747 in the far distance though....
So cool right!
@@Shmee150 yeap, but sadly it will never fly again.
I've wanted to see this race for a very very long time
It's a wonder the faster car is depreciating like a rock, while the slower one's appreciating.
Mclarens numbers seem like they're always to the wheels where as competitors are to the crank
What is the difference between to the wheels and to the crank ? I'm new to the drag race stuff
@@GH-fh7pn wheels is power directly at the wheels, the power train loss is already accounted for, so its a more "realistic" figure, crank is power generated at the crank of the engine, before transmission, axles, diffs, etc so its a bit lower at the wheels than the actual hp, hope thats a bit clearer
@@GH-fh7pn brake horse power (BHP) is horse power at the wheels. That's the only figure that actually matters. Horse power on the other hand is what's measured at the crank. The crank shaft is one of many components that help turn the engine, but arguably one of the most important. Let's say you get 700 hp at the crank, that then has to go through the pistons, gearbox, drive shaft, axels, and a few other parts but you get the idea. By the time it's reached the wheels, you've lost some Horse power and you've got your BHP figure. You'd probably be closer to 660hp at the wheels if you're getting 700 at the crank. This is not in relation to either car, just rough figures to give you an idea on how it works
And I've seen a couple of Dyno runs on them, and their out put is closer to the numbers in the name. So the 675 is actually the amount of power going to the wheels
As Matt Watson would say
The LT just buggered off 😀
😂😂😂😂😂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I’ve seen a Senna and a 720s out on a runway and they were both unreal when accelerating so I wasn’t suprised at the result of this one!
Then comes the SRT-170 pounces on both of them. LOL excellent video.
The level of torque in the 675LT is insane! For that matter, it seems to be a very 'McLaren' trait in all their roadcars.
Expecting LT to win!..lets see
Any Mclaren will walk most other super cars. With all the reliability issues Mclaren would be bankrupt if it wasn’t for their insane performance!!
Both cars never get old. Love them!
Hey Shmee, we need more 675lt content please!
If it wasn’t for Tim I would have never fell in love with the 675LT. Thank you Tim
Shmee you're the man I've been watching you for a bit now even though i just subscribed i enjoy what you're doing. Your review on the Cadillac CTS V is the reason i purchased one. Keep up the good work chap.
first race around 0.38 sec gap, secord race around 0.64 sec gap, third race around 0.38 sec gap, and timed run around 0.73 gap.
This wasn't surprising to me at all. McClaren notoriously understates it's power.
True hahahah
Imagine if they had put a supercharged or turbocharged 5.2L V8 in the Ford GT... Whoo boy.
I believe this GT was more less a showcase to show the prowess of Ford tech with their "Ecoboost" motors. Obviously is heavily revised tho
WOW...Amazing outcome.
Thats the old Top Gear track! Well with the best 3 guys!
That was expected, LT will forever be my favourite in your collection.
Hey shmee I think we are just 3 to 4 days away from big shmemuseum reveal
Friday
Correct! This Friday
You guys are relentless
Did everyone notice how the driver of the GT fell completely asleep at the starting line ? And lost the race by the almost exactly the same amount of time that it lost at the start !
What have you found to be the best way to maintain your alcantara wheels?
Love the Ford GT!
That’s the one for me
So does 'Major Upset' = 'entirely predictable" these day??
Go look at the poll on Instagram stories from a few hours ago, the majority of followers got it wrong!
@@Shmee150 fair enough Tim, I guess I've been watching too many 'McLaren XXX Vs ZZZ" Videos on UA-cam 🤦🏼♂️🤣
LT IS INSANE. both amazing machines. Great video as always. From BT CARS.
Another great video! I too was a little disappointed the GT did not win but then again it is designed to be a track weapon and not a drag race machine. Shmee, if it does bother you I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands and you will not have to look at it ever again. Really, its no problem on my part :) Keep up the great work and continue to stay safe and healthy.
The 675LT is also designed for track and not drag racing, McLaren's are just insanely quick and always make far more power than stated.
That Ford GT is absolutely the most beautiful car ever! I would LOVE to own one of those. The Mclaren - eh...the outside is okay but nothing to write home about for me.
The 675LT is just a masterpiece really, such a good looking car and just blitzed the GT! The LT would be my choice out of all your cars if I could pick 1!
Really puts things into perspective 🤯
Great video, Shmee! Love the Daytona
The GT needs a tune tbh
You should take the GT to Matt from @carwow and race him pleaaaase
I love the McLaren but the styling of that Ford is just a whole different level of beautiful.
Interesting but can't say I'm surprised! Heart would still choose the GT esp in that colour combo! 😍😍😍
You'll be buying Toto Wolff's SL65 then Tim?
I'd love to see some lap times, I think the GT would be more competitive around a Le Mans style track..
japan engine honda v6 3.0l indy car red bull in McLaren and ford gt use japan engine yamaha sho v6 twin turbo or nissan maxima 3.5l v6 twin turbo
No car scares me more than the 675LT on a straight line. It's powered by witchcraft.
Will he cool to watch the Re Race when this new 7.3 liter Twin Turbo V8 GT drops. Can't wait to see what that thing will do!
Not even watched snd the LT will destroy the GT
So its actually not much of a surprise.
1/4 mile drag races do not determine the "fastest" car.
It does if the lead car is still pulling and the lagging vehicle is not gaining; as we saw here...
Try telling that to all the street racers.
The fastest meaning is capable movement at high speed and the 675lt is the most capable.
Shmees reaction time is like a grandmother
No wonder why GT's prices have melted like butter under sun...
9:37 I think the GT has a compartment as well… specifically for a glock
Good ol' McLaren. Still showing them all.
The GT is awesome but I just love the LT, what a stunning car! 5 years old and still beautiful!
