Less popular than Ferrari or Lamborghini, McLaren has absolutely nothing to envy them in terms of technical excellence and driving experience. But the sales of the English brand are far below those of others, and the result is a financial situation somewhat "on the wire". This probably explains why when developing the replacement for the 720S, launched 6 years ago, we played it safe. In fact, the 750S is not entirely new, since only 30% of its elements differ from those of the 720S. But McLaren has worked where it really counts.
Aero
For example, modifications (identifiable only by connoisseurs) to the nose, flanks and stern all have the effect of improving aerodynamic performance. In a car of this caliber, it's not anecdotal. The interior is almost entirely new. It has been designed to gain a few kilos (less than 1,300 kilos dry with all the "light weight" options), and improve the ergonomics of the systems, which is not a luxury in a McLaren, often a little messy in this area. And of course, there's the mechanics. The 8.4-liter twin-turbo V0 sends 750 hp (it's written on it) and 800 Nm to the rear wheels alone, via a dual-clutch gearbox whose 7 gears have been shortened for more aggressiveness. Result: 0-100 km in 2.8 seconds, and 330 km/h. The 750S is immediately available as a coupe and roadster, for prices starting around € 300,000.
