Designed and built after careful analysis of the model it replaces, the McLaren 720S, the new 750S combines advances in weight savings, powertrain performance, aerodynamics and dynamic excellence to elevate the driving experience to new heights. Around 30% of the 750S’s components are new or have been modified to offer an even greater emotional connection between car and driver to make it the lightest and most powerful production McLaren yet.
With all available carbon fiber options selected, the Coupé weighs 1,277kg dry, providing a segment-leading power-to-weight ratio of 587bhp per tonne. It is 193 kg lighter than its closest competitor and offers a power/weight ratio improved by 22 hp.
For its part, the Spider has been designed with the same objective: to minimize weight. It features a retractable hardtop, a rollover protection system and a bespoke rear upper structure for the monocoque also built in carbon fiber. But such is the resistance of the carbon fiber chassis that it does not need additional reinforcements. This ensures that the convertible version – with a maximum dry weight of 1,326 kg – is just as impressive in terms of power-to-weight ratio and leads the category with a figure of 566 hp per tonne.
The new British supercar, with rear-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine, now delivers 750PS and 800Nm of torque. Its central outlet exhaust, inspired by the McLaren P1, also offers a distinctive new crescendo, while the 7-speed transmission with revised ratios has been optimized for even quicker acceleration. Its benefits are located in some amazing 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and 0-200 in 7.2 seconds; one tenth more for the Spider (7.3).
The fascinating and captivating Woking racing car features an interior that sets new standards for interaction with displays and controls. Thus, the new console-mounted instrument display is flanked by rocker switches that control Active Dynamic settings, an innovation that allows you to change suspension and transmission modes with your hands on the wheel. High-profile cabin trim options include super-lightweight carbon fiber racing seats and a new Bowers premium audio system.
