Mclaren 720S

British supercar brand McLaren has been taking the fight to the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini for decades now, and the 720S was its peak Super Series sports car when it debuted in 2017, taking over from the 650S.

A twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 loosely derived from a Nissan racing engine that was never used in competition lies at the heart of the 720S, which was also built in ‘Spider’ convertible guise for better access to the V8’s soundtrack.

The 720S has since been succeeded by the more powerful McLaren 750S.

The line-up currently starts at $499,000 for the 720S (base) and ranges through to $582,580 for the range-topping 720S Spider Performance.

Mclaren 720S Interior

In the cabin, you’re looking at two sports seat, a grippy Alcantara steering wheel, and two relatively small screens by today’s sizeable standards.

You can have your cabin trim in full Nappa leather, or the leather mixed with Alcantara, and the audio is taken care of by Bowers & Wilkins.

Mclaren 720S Speed

The McLaren 750S will accelerate to 100km/h in 2.8 seconds, and will max out in excess of 330km/h.

Mclaren 720S Engine

In the huge-displacement world of supercars, a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 might sound a little on the small size when put up against V10s and V12s out of Italy.

But this mid-mounted, twin-turbo powertrain perfectly compliments the overall balance of the 750S, and when its 552kW and 800Nm (fed through a seven-speed automatic) meets the lightweight McLaren, the results are staggering.

You're not getting much in the way of niceties, though, with the McLaren 750S offering less interior tech and comforts than a mid-range hatchback (“it now has Apple CarPlay,” they exclaimed excitedly).

Mclaren 720S Seats

The McLaren 750S is a strict two-seater, accessible by ducking under the skyward-opening scissor doors before sinking into the cabin.

Standard this time out are carbon-fibre backed seats, which save weight but don't add much in the way of comfort.

Mclaren 720S Range

McLaren says you can expect 12.2L/100km on the combined cycle, with emissions pegged at 276g/km. But you can also expect to win the lottery — it still doesn’t make it likely.

It’s hard to imagine how softly you’d have to treat the 750S to get anywhere near those numbers, but I know that you almost certainly won’t. The temptation is simply too great.

Mclaren 720S Boot Space

Practicality is not a known supercar perk, and the 750S serves up 150 litres (front) and 210 litres (rear) of luggage space.
