I love the fact you love driving, rather than purely the status of a badge...its all about the feel and the drive...and above all the passion! A truly great Video!
Everyone complains about how McLarens depreciate but actually that makes a nearly-new, low mileage, well-conditioned 650S one of the best bang-for-the-buck car on the market.
I love the sound of a naturally aspirated engine more than anything else. BUT, the anger that spits from this V8 when floored, like at 5:40 is just out of this world.
I've been saying that for a while. Don't get me wrong, I really like the 570S and I think putting that side by side with a 911 Turbo S for example is a no brainer in my eyes. But the 650S is so much car for the money, so usable every day yet insanely quick and a proper super car when you want it to be. It really properly takes your breath away. I'd personally have it over a 488 GTB easily. I'd even go as far as to say a 12C is still insanely good value. The 650S is an evolution of that car so only incrementally faster (albeit more updated of course).
I want your hair. On a different note: You got the relaxedness that shmee is missing and the professionalism that seb is missing. Keep up that amazing work!
Why have mclaren all of a sudden made loads of cars? Not that its a bad thing, they had a period between the F1 and the 12C where they made nothing and those cars are a decade apart. (yes i know the SLR)
Dude, great video. So glad to see you've breached 100K subs. Great job. This happens to be my dream car your driving. Alot of car guys don't agree, but I don't care. I'm getting one ;)
"HiMrJWW" has 7 letters. James Bond is 007. Both of their first names are James, and we haven't seen both of them in the same room at once. So therefore, we can conclude that... :)
Man, your vids are so good! Stay the same, you really have something different. It's just chill, natural and wonderfully edited! Big thanks for the great work!
That camera angle at the start of the 650s drive was insane. That is what i and im sure everybody else wants to see. Please show it to Paul Wallace so he can up his video game to near as good as yours.
Given the "magic suspension" in the 12C/650S I don't think I could buy the 570S unless I already had a McLaren with the hydraulic suspension. Once I owned one of those I could totally see having a 570S/GT as the "every day" car. Then the other would be reserved for weekend rides and track day fun. I'd just feel like I were missing out on the McLaren experience without that trick suspension. Either is obviously a great choice though!
It's really good to watch a video that is not slagging off the noise from the 650S. I personally would go for the 650S within a heartbeat over the 570S. Not only do I see it as the 'flagship' car, but the model that looks the best for me. I really hope you get one. It's funny that Shmee has had lots of McLaren's and everybody is now slowly understanding why he opts for McLaren rather than Lambo. Funny really.
Good effort - asked a relevant question and answered it. Have to drive a 488 though - thesmokingtire was blown away...do love a British supercar though!
I'm so glad you weren't speechless for this one as your descriptive powers are increasing padowan. You'll be a Jedi yet. Superb review, really enjoyed it.
650S, Spider especially, can be hard work to get in and out of, and v snug once in. The 488 is where we are at now so check out Autocar full test this week. 650S replacement coming soon.
that or go ahead i aint going to try and be a nuisance. people like that are those i love because they notice you're there to have fun and instead of wasting your time playing games (trying to block you from passing) they just let it happen
570s looks so much more modern, amazing really considering how new both cars are. Shame they've gone all Porsche with the special "speculators" edition over hyped specials but overall McLaren are doing an amazing job with their road cars. Great video Mr JWW, a real enjoyable watch.
I really love this video because shmee is the only one out of you guys' group that has owned multiple McLarens and yet I've never seen him drive the cars like you drove this car. He's more conservative which is safe but it doesn't give us a proper idea of just how damn fast these cars are. Thank you for pushing the envelope in this video! I'm sold on the 650s now!
Having driven both on road and track, it would have to be Speciale on track but for use every day 650S. However for another informed view spent time with Matt LeBlanc yesterday and he would go GT2 RS for the track, his personal choice, or new Turbo S for every day use. James may not concur, it is very much down to personal preference, but in our opinion the Speciale is near untouchable for excitement on the track.
James will have had his reasons for selling the Speciale agreed but we have a Speciale we haven't sold and for the track it is close to untouchable for raw excitement. For the road the 650S would make a very good choice but again it depends on the individual and in our case we would try to source a 675LT, there are a few around currently.
So, when will it be delivered James? ;) What I really like about your video's is the open minded approach to the cars you drive. As a viewer you really understand the differences between the driven cars. And if you have to replace one of your cars for a 650, wich one will it be?
Another amazing video Mr JWW, glad you are back man, always great content and real talk. Maybe a new ride in the garage haha, The smile on your face reminds me of when you had the speciale for some reason. Anyway Cheers bro.
Buy shmee's 675 before he sells if you've not already.i really hope you do so I can see someone drive the beast properly,I don't think shmee knows what the redline is.really enjoyed this one especially when you left that corner.mclaren is the most exciting brand for me at the minute as everything they do you can see it evolving one car to the next, and if there that good now imagine what's coming in future.great film again pal.
Speciale; EVO Car of the year, Autocar Car of the Year, Performance Engine of the year, for two years and judged by journalists. Though not the fastest in a straight line, look up Chris Harris Car of the Year 2014 at Portimao, with particular reference to the track times.
JWW. Appreciate the video. Well done. I get a better feel about the cars from your reviews, dare I say than the professional vlogs. Not that your videos are any less in terms of quality. Keep it up. I vote for the 650s. I had heard that at high temps gasoline smell leaks into the cabin. In any case, the GT3 is still the car I'd choose.
Please tell me you put it in track mode and tried it?! I was lucky enough to drive one last year, holy shit- track mode turns everything up to 11! Such a great car, in my opinion there's not much that touches a 650s at that price range
1080p 60FPS is quite enjoyable to watch. I've only recently been able to view videos at that size (I also used to have to watch at 360p in order to remove constant buffering), but it sure is enjoyable. Just because you are unable to use it doesn't mean you should hate it. You might as well be saying that supercars are a waste of money and effort. Both are luxuries. v-v
Hey Mr.JWW, I like your blog's and your style man! I'm a fan of all you guys, but yours have a straight forward approach and something natural about you that just makes the show great! keep the good vibes, you'll success beyond all as a you tuber !+)
Great explanation of the range. It gets a bit confusing when the new car is a 570 but the older 650 is better. Don't think I'd want a LT when that 650s does the job so well. Mind made up that's the one I'd have.
Great observations. Would love to hear your thoughts on how you would rate the 650s next to the Ferrari F12 and which one you would choose if you had to.
Cool James! Still hard to make up which car I like the best. I am in a lot of trouble would I ever be fortunate enough to buy one. 570GT, 650S or the one I like the looks of the most, the 12C. I sort of want the P11 platform because of the suspension. So.....yeah. Keep it up man! You are awesome.
Brilliant as ever James - interesting take on the whole 'Which McLaren is right for you' stakes! One thing I'd like to ask, how does the 650S compare to your GT3 in terms of dynamics and every day usability? I would imagine the torque of the 650 will be higher given that it's a Biturbo, but what else would you say separated the two cars? Actually while I'm on the subject, how does the 650S compare to your beloved F12 too? - So not much to think about there bud!!!😳😳😂😂
Great Video James ! Really looking forward to your 675 LT video. One question for you, How do you compare the 650S with the other supercars in your garage (F12/GT3) ?
Didn't they let you test the LT or was that only for payed up customers like Tim?,great video by the way and I couldn't agree more that they've come such a long way in a short time and the get better every single model they release
One of the best videos you have made so far.
+Wew Yeah? Thanks bro! 🚗💨💨💨
I love the fact you love driving, rather than purely the status of a badge...its all about the feel and the drive...and above all the passion! A truly great Video!
Mclaren are becoming a real competitor to the automotive heavyweights, I look forward to seeing what Mclaren have in store in a few years time.
they are a heavyweight along with porsche and ferrari and more so then lambo
dumb comment
jbell2184 Its an opinion, did I rustle your jimmies?
Drakotar not a valid
opinion when your wrong
Drakotar are world hides behind the word opinion to be ignorant..dont be one of those guys
Incredible video, incredible car!
+Mumbo Jumbo Thanks mumbo!

14:44 The first and only time Shmee150 will be at the end of a UA-cam video without saying Cheers
+Gabriel Eum 😂
I see the 650S as a cool alliterative to a Ferrari 458/488. Im glad Ferrari has an actual credible rival.
lamborghini huracan?
hahahahahahahaha
Gray Jay The RWD version maybe but there aren't enough of them.
It sounds much better than a 488 and would take a 650s over a 488
alliterative.... i dont think that means what you think it means
The camera angles you use on these videos are by far the best I've seen.
+mrjww something tells me you're about to buy one real soon
I want your hair. On a different note: You got the relaxedness that shmee is missing and the professionalism that seb is missing. Keep up that amazing work!

We talk about the 675LT so much, but it's important to remember how awesome the 650S is!
Loving your content. Keep it coming !
MrJWW for the new James Bond!
"HiMrJWW" has 7 letters. James Bond is 007. Both of their first names are James, and we haven't seen both of them in the same room at once. So therefore, we can conclude that... :)
Blitzkreig5100 he probably only drives that on the job, so when he does we don't see it due to its secretive nature.
Good to see you back !!
I would take a slightly used Mclaren 650S over a 570S any day!
The suspension in the 650S is best in class. Worth it for that alone.
102,000 subscribers already? Congrats!
Man, your vids are so good! Stay the same, you really have something different. It's just chill, natural and wonderfully edited! Big thanks for the great work!
Your cinematography is just too good! Great video!
At this rate, mr jww is going to have more subs than shmee and the others. So much better and isn't nerdy. Lol.
Great Videos James! Personally i think the 650s is the way to go!
Your ability to analyze so much while driving so fast amazes me. 🙏
Awesome video as always! I love the 650s spider, it would definitely be the car I would choose! :)
That camera angle at the start of the 650s drive was insane. That is what i and im sure everybody else wants to see. Please show it to Paul Wallace so he can up his video game to near as good as yours.
5:40
love ur shifts 10/10, cuz some people shift up too early and u dont get the full powerful noise of the car. overall great vid!
great audio James! always enjoy your taste in music as well as your production quality.
Nice driving from the Saxo driver at the start. Another great video.
Felt like I was driving the car and being there!, great vid James as usual top notch quality.
Damn James, this might be one of the best videos you've ever made!
Next video on Seenthrouglass: My friend bought a 650s :)
SUBLIME footage, great filming and what amazes me you still maanged to give a thorough review, hat of to you sir :-)
the back window feature it's awesome
Given the "magic suspension" in the 12C/650S I don't think I could buy the 570S unless I already had a McLaren with the hydraulic suspension.

I'd just feel like I were missing out on the McLaren experience without that trick suspension. Either is obviously a great choice though!
I see you are on the way to signature in the f12? Was good to see you man!! Love watching your videos!!
It's really good to watch a video that is not slagging off the noise from the 650S. I personally would go for the 650S within a heartbeat over the 570S.

+Mr JWW Great video as always man! I'm curious, what car whould you choose between the Gt3 and the 650s?
Good effort - asked a relevant question and answered it. Have to drive a 488 though - thesmokingtire was blown away...do love a British supercar though!
Nice video James! Really enjoy it!
One of your best reviews!
James this was like the perfect review, strict enough, but still just stated your opinion
Great camera angles too!
Mr JWW you are making the best videos on UA-cam right now! Keep doing what your doing, it's amazing! 🚗 🏎
Excellent review James , I'd love to see more reviews like this one
'different gravy, baby' - that's fire.
I'm so glad you weren't speechless for this one as your descriptive powers are increasing padowan. You'll be a Jedi yet. Superb review, really enjoyed it.
mine gets delivered today, super excited!
Congrats!
So much nicer and so much faster than a 458
its a 488 competitor
True but personally I'd still rather the mclaren
650S, Spider especially, can be hard work to get in and out of, and v snug once in. The 488 is where we are at now so check out Autocar full test this week. 650S replacement coming soon.
Why did the car ahead of him at 1:38 signal?
To say it's clear to pass him?
exactly that
that or go ahead i aint going to try and be a nuisance. people like that are those i love because they notice you're there to have fun and instead of wasting your time playing games (trying to block you from passing) they just let it happen
I noticed that your the only one that answers the comments I know you carnt reply to all but its nice to see
+Sean Marriott I try my best!
another great video Mr JWW!!
One of the most intelligent reviews i have herd so far about the marq....
Loved this video. Are we going to see more action soon in the porshe? Love that car
570s looks so much more modern, amazing really considering how new both cars are. Shame they've gone all Porsche with the special "speculators" edition over hyped specials but overall McLaren are doing an amazing job with their road cars.

As you have driven both would rather have a 458 speciale or 650s
+Ollie Clay Tough Very tough one...which is testament to how good the 650S is
Having driven both on road and track, it would have to be Speciale on track but for use every day 650S. However for another informed view spent time with Matt LeBlanc yesterday and he would go GT2 RS for the track, his personal choice, or new Turbo S for every day use. James may not concur, it is very much down to personal preference, but in our opinion the Speciale is near untouchable for excitement on the track.
he sold his speciale and is obviously interested in buying a mclaren. Doesn't that say it all? :D
James will have had his reasons for selling the Speciale agreed but we have a Speciale we haven't sold and for the track it is close to untouchable for raw excitement.

great video! but 60fps is a little nauseating
JWW. Appreciate the video. Well done. I get a better feel about the cars from your reviews, dare I say than the professional vlogs. Not that your videos are any less in terms of quality. Keep it up. I vote for the 650s. I had heard that at high temps gasoline smell leaks into the cabin. In any case, the GT3 is still the car I'd choose.
Your opinion is more valid than ever as I think this car would suit you as a daily .
Please tell me you put it in track mode and tried it?! I was lucky enough to drive one last year, holy shit- track mode turns everything up to 11! Such a great car, in my opinion there's not much that touches a 650s at that price range
Great review mate!
720p60fps only right now? Well I'm screwed, my internet is trash😂😂
Same. I preferred watching at 360p. No buffer but still good quality
yeah, I hate the 60fps. Such a waste of bandwidth.
1080p 60FPS is quite enjoyable to watch. I've only recently been able to view videos at that size (I also used to have to watch at 360p in order to remove constant buffering), but it sure is enjoyable.

James, brilliant vlog, again! keeo up the good work, I also ask the question as another has asked, how do you compare the 650S to your GT3?
Congrats on your new Cerulean Blue 675LT with 5000 miles. Deal was done over dinner in Tenerife I hear. ;)
@mrjww congrats on 100k subscribers!
Definitely one of my favourite cars, though id love to see you in the 12c aswell!
Great honest viewpoint. I think you are right on the money about the 650S! Brilliant car.
Great video
A really relevant question JWW and well answered... mmmmm
Awesome video as always James! Will we see you getting an LT spider soon? ;)
Hey Mr.JWW, I like your blog's and your style man! I'm a fan of all you guys, but yours have a straight forward approach and something natural about you that just makes the show great! keep the good vibes, you'll success beyond all as a you tuber !+)
+Shay Nashiv Thanks for watching, great to hear you like the content! 🚗💨💨💨
14:25 - 14:30 Shmee dripping with swag.
Can't say I'll be shooting down to Woking to buy one, but great insight!
Great explanation of the range. It gets a bit confusing when the new car is a 570 but the older 650 is better. Don't think I'd want a LT when that 650s does the job so well. Mind made up that's the one I'd have.
Excellent review!
Loving this video!
Great observations. Would love to hear your thoughts on how you would rate the 650s next to the Ferrari F12 and which one you would choose if you had to.
Does it feel more accelerative than your f12?
Great video James with some very good points in it to. I don't think Tim will be pleased though 😂
Performance wise i would choose the 650s... But the looks, especially the rear, are better on the 570-series...
Great vid james ! Is that a Louis Vuitton bracelet you got there?
14:25 A Shmee on the prowl
A Schmee in it´s natural habitat hunting down other UA-camrs
+john air Haha....you wanna see what Shmee and Seb get up to in their natural habitat?? 😉😂😂😂
Cool James! Still hard to make up which car I like the best. I am in a lot of trouble would I ever be fortunate enough to buy one. 570GT, 650S or the one I like the looks of the most, the 12C.
I sort of want the P11 platform because of the suspension. So.....yeah. Keep it up man! You are awesome.
That was interesting and I just loved what you said! Well done and it was an informative clip! Well done :D
Nice quality video. What camera do you use as your video is better quality than Schmee150 and 60fps?
Brilliant as ever James - interesting take on the whole 'Which McLaren is right for you' stakes! One thing I'd like to ask, how does the 650S compare to your GT3 in terms of dynamics and every day usability?

How many glasses of champagne did you have before that drive? Brilliant
Great Video James ! Really looking forward to your 675 LT video.
One question for you, How do you compare the 650S with the other supercars in your garage (F12/GT3) ?
Didn't they let you test the LT or was that only for payed up customers like Tim?,great video by the way and I couldn't agree more that they've come such a long way in a short time and the get better every single model they release
Incredible car. I've never been lucky enough to drive either, but if I had to choose from what I see/read on the internet, i'd pick the 570s
Go on James, buy the 650s! Obvious in my eyes after watching both videos that you would love this over a 570S/GT.
I was waiting for the Joakim mix at the start of the drive ;)
