Chris Harris vs McLaren 765LT - outrageous 750bhp track special tops 200mph! | Top Gear BBC Studios

Expensive, intense and shockingly fast: the McLaren 765LT is no friendly supercar. Chris Harris is kept on his toes by this 750bhp track special with monster racing pedigree that's capable of speeds over 200mph. Definitely too fast for the road - but is it a fair contest when up against the Aston Martin V8 Vantage F1 Edition and the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm in a Top Gear drag race?

Just call it Chris Gear, he's the only reason this show continues to exist.

That entrance in the 765LT by Chris was sublime 😎👌🏾

[ashleysambo]

Okay i didn't expect the Aston Martin to lose against the Alfa😂

Shoulve stuck a GT3 into the drag race for a laugh. Brilliant video.

I'm sorry, but the most impressive thing about this episode of Top Gear was Chris coming within _one second_ of Lando Norris's time in that 765LT... after not only had Lando done his lap, but then done some egregious doughnuts afterwards, to cook the tires some more. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Harris could have _beaten_ Norris's time if the laps had been done in reverse order.

Now that was a top gear episode. Insane car

[irmjbhh]

I can't believe that hyper car beat that sports sedan! Amazing!

[brianiswrong]

The 765LT in white looked like a base model.
My first extra £££ would go on a decent colour.

those other blokes had no business being there, cheating us from more Chris Harris on Cars

[HairFollicle]

So nice to see throttle houses camera man finally found success

You have to spend more? No you don't, Car & Driver just did their 2023 Lightning Lap testing and the C8 Z06 did a lap time within .2 seconds of this very car, and significantly faster than the latest GT3 (2 seconds). And not only is it a LOT cheaper than the McLaren, it is naturally aspirated, and it is also considerably cheaper than the GT3. They are also working on a forced induction version of the Z06 (ZR1 version), and one with the forced induction flat plane crank and an electric drive front thousand plus HP Zora version. That should be competing with hyper cars only for a LOT less money.
I watched a video about the production line for the C8 Z06 and they had some right hand drive Z06's being built, so you should start seeing them in the UK and Europe soon.

The 765LT is hypercar fast, head and shoulders above the others.

I want to know what the budget for tires is when Chris Harris test drives a car.

[farishanafiah]

2:57 Hang on, what kind of extras McLaren put that adds up another £120, 000 to the original price tag? That is beyond insanity!

[alexzandervicklif]

This show went from catering to whole world to only UK now a days. The title Topgear has a big responsibility on it.

BBC should not be allowed to make money from YouTube advertising, unless they're willing to let people watch TV for free

[JJ-sxde]

It would have been good to have a 911 turbo s in the lineup.

[ciperable]

Top Gear,
it would be nice to show the footage of Chris Harris doing the drifts from inside the car. You are cutting it right when he starts to slide it…

[atlegangletsoge]

wait, did that alfa just beat the Aston?😱... thats freakin cool what a BMW M3/M4 competitor can do🥳

You commenters know these are pretty old clips reposted, right?
No, you don't.
