ProducerMichael absolutely slams the McLaren 720s during test drive YouTube: ProducerMichaelIt\u2019s not often that many people would be handed the keys to a McLaren 720s and proceed to complain about it the whole time, but that\u2019s exactly what YouTuber ProducerMichael has done in his August 25 video. Being given the keys to a McLaren 720s as a courtesy car is a dream situation for most drivers. For Michael though, it\u2019s a nightmare; Being a Ferrari man through-and-through, he certainly didn\u2019t hold back on his thoughts about the 720s. Immediately it\u2019s obvious that he loves the look of the 720s, being smitten with it before even sitting in the driver\u2019s seat. This example also has a set of custom CEC wheels on it that are worlds apart from the look of the standard McLaren wheels. \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t need a degree!\u201d Taking the car through Los Angeles and up into the Malibu canyons, Michael is quick to comment on how \u2018fun\u2019 and \u2018fast\u2019 the car is, but unfortunately, that\u2019s about the extent of his praise for the 720s. Falling at the first hurdle, Michael was unable to even move his seat or steering wheel into the correct position, find the nav, or turn on the radio. Talking to his cameraman Adam, he sums it up well saying \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t need a degree in computer engineering to turn the radio on!\u201d Driving the car wasn\u2019t a particularly enjoyable experience either it seems. Beyond the car being \u201cfun\u201d there\u2019s little that attracts Michael. He complains that the paddle shifters move with the steering wheel, saying its the \u201csilliest thing [he\u2019s] ever seen in his life\u201d while the ride is apparently back-breaking. This is no ordinary McLaren 720s\u2026 It is important to note that this isn\u2019t a totally stock 720s. Along with the new wheels, it has also had suspension modifications (which may be the cause of the poor ride) while the exhaust has also been swapped out for a Quicksilver offering. Michael did actually praise the modification to the exhaust system by saying how fantastic it sounded. Unfortunately, this was quickly followed by slating McLaren\u2019s stock system, saying most of their cars \u201cusually sound like lawnmowers!\u201d At the end of the drive, Michael simply sums it up by saying \u201cI would never want to own one\u201d \u2013 McLaren was on the back foot from the start of this review, and it seems his love for everything Ferrari was just too strong to let him enjoy the McLaren.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
