Picking Up Pizza In A McLaren 620R!

Whilst visiting Deal And Drive in Luxembourg, I jump in a McLaren 620R to pick up pizzas for the team.

Check out Deal And Drive:

From McLaren about the 620R:
The McLaren 620R is a unique proposition, delivering a pure motorsport experience in a road car with authenticity: it looks like a race car, handles like a race car, performs like a race car and feels like a race car. The result overall is a seamless transition from race to road – and vice versa. Exclusive and extreme in equal measure, the McLaren 620R retains the DNA of a fully homologated track car yet is free from the restrictions that race regulations apply.

A high level of commonality with a 570S GT4 race car has been integral to the development of the 620R from very outset. They have the same, single-piece carbon fibre Monocell II chassis providing the foundations for the strength and light weight of the car, with a targeted lightest dry weight of 1,282kg. This carbon fibre core – a McLaren signature that in different guises features in every car in the company’s range – also underpins the dynamic precision and composure for which McLarens are renowned. These characteristics have been enhanced in the 620R by the inclusion of the GT4’s adjustable aerodynamic elements, race-derived suspension components and powertrain recalibration to increase power and performance.

The 620R has the same M838TE 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine used in the GT4 car, but with a significant difference in power output; freedom from racing regulations has allowed the engine ECU and turbocharger management to be reconfigured to achieve 620PS (610bhp), making this the most powerful Sports Series car yet. The engine also develops torque of 620Nm (457lb ft) and even with lap times more important than sheer top speed, the combined outputs helps to deliver benchmark performance figures of 0-100km/h (62mph) in 2.9 seconds and 0-200km/h (124mph) in 8.1 seconds. Maximum speed is 322km/h (200mph).

The use of stiffer powertrain mounts reduces drivetrain forces under acceleration, minimising the effect of inertia under high load, while the 7-speed Seamless Shift Gearbox (SSG) delivers super-fast shift times, further aided in Track model by McLaren’s Inertia Push technology, which converts built-up flywheel energy into a momentary burst of torque on upshift. For added drama on the road the driver can select Sport mode and hear the upshift ‘crack’ created by a split-second cut of the ignition spark during a gearshift.

Fitment of the GT4’s two-way manually adjustable coilover motorsport dampers, which feature 32 clicks of adjustment per corner for compression and rebound rates, adds to the 620R’s motorsport credentials. These enable the driver to optimise the 602R’s handling for any given circuit according to track surface, camber, weather conditions and the type and frequency of corners. Drivers can also adjust the suspension to their driving style, choosing for example a preference for precise body control or the ability to ride kerbs. The dampers also help to bring weight down overall, being more than 6kg lighter than the regular Sports Series units.

Sam, we need another travel series 🙏🏾. Reminded of the one you graced us with in 2020 🥹. Beautiful work sir! Bravo!

[OldGinger]

Putting it out there, Sam is the best car YouTube channel. Super fun vids, high quality and always full of energy. Always get excited by an STG upload or BTG podcast 🤌🏻 keep it up Sam!

[heathen_]

Without a doubt, the best content in your segment. Thanks dude! Always enjoy each one

[michaejackson]

Cool car! I love driving through Lux City! I lived just over the border in Trier, Germany. We went to Luxembourg all the time to get gas, alcohol and cigarettes for anyone who smoked. Less expensive. Taxes, not sure if it's still that way. I moved back to US in 96. so....

[gandalfkenobi]

Sam: takes one car to get Pizza
Deal and Drive: make it a supercar convoi including support car. What legends 😂😂

[nichollpictures]

Been a fan of the channel since the 4C days. The content lately is fantastic.

Darth Vader roof scope whispering in your ear,
"put your foot down" [inhales]
lmao brakes are pretty good I would put the pizza in the 6 point harness so it doesn't fly into the windscreen like a frisbee.

[CooperSTraveller]

Awesome video Sam … and that pizza place is unreal. I know it well and have to visit anytime I’m in Lux.

[TheMrFishnDucks]

Awesome video. Very nice car. Keep up the good work.

[slytherben]

Love that you have a Schumacher watch!! Perfect!

[Taylor___]

Your videos are so good. So much more production goes into them compared to other great channels like Shmee150

[AleksandarGospic]

Sam, you are reaching TV show quality both in terms of filming and your presentation!

[Mexicanfab]

Sam. I really enjoyed this one. Felt very honest and natural. 👌🏼

[go-driving]

Love your videos ! Awesome to see some one who does it because they love it

[salto]

Nice video. Amazing car. I saw it drive past my work place a few weeks ago. Looking at 10:51 it might actually have been you driving by my work place at the beginning of that street

[thecreedy]

When Sam walked in with the pizzas...why are they cold?😂
