After five years on the market, the 720S was replaced by the 750S in 2023, and while at first sight, they looked the same, the newer version boasted a 30% transformation in its parts compared with its predecessor.
The British automaker was well-known for its high-performance products. In addition, its name was highly respected on the Formula 1 grid. Thus, it had all the attributes to start making a new vehicle able to compete against any other Italian or American supercars. With the 750S, it also created its most powerful vehicle made to that date.
McLaren kept the overall shape of the 720S when it made the 750S but with a few noticeable differences. Thus, the front fascia sported narrower eye-socket intakes and a longer splitter adorned by side scoops. These were fully functional and channeled air onto the front rotors to cool the brakes. On the sides, the coupe kept a clean line for the bodywork, with waved shapes and an exhaust vent behind the front fenders. The car's curved greenhouse was pushed forward, and its sloped-down rear side featured a windscreen narrowed on the lower side and a set of vents needed to cool the engine. Finally, at the back, an active carbon-fiber wing added not just a touch of sportiness but also enhanced the downforce.
Inside, the automaker installed all the features needed by a modern supercar, such as the TFT display inside the instrument cluster and a driver-oriented, portrait-mode touchscreen incorporated into the center stack. The carbon-fiber sports seats and the center console created a racy interior and could've been fitted with Alcantara and leather.
Behind the cabin, McLaren installed a twin-turbo V8 mill that sent the power to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission.
