McLaren's modern flagship Super Series. 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 making 720 horsepower. The car that brought McLaren fully into the supercar mainstream.
The McLaren 720S is a mid-engine supercar produced from 2017 to 2023. The 720S was McLaren Super Series flagship and the model that brought the brand fully into the supercar mainstream. The car uses the M840T 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 making 720 horsepower (the source of the name). Seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Carbon fiber MonoCage II chassis. The 720S came in coupe and Spider (convertible) body styles. Various trims included the standard 720S, the focused 720S Spider, and the more aggressive McLaren 720S Performance variants. Reviews of the era consistently placed the 720S among the best modern supercars; lap times benchmarked competitively with Ferrari 488 and Lamborghini Huracan in similar conditions. The 720S was widely praised for chassis dynamics, the engine power, and the visual design. The carbon fiber MonoCage II provides exceptional stiffness; the chassis tuning emphasizes both daily livability and track capability. The 720S has been one of the more accessible modern supercars at the McLaren price point. Production ended in 2023 with the launch of the 750S. The 720S has been one of McLaren most successful products commercially, with strong demand throughout the production run. Used pricing has been moderate; the 720S provides modern supercar performance at reasonably accessible prices for buyers in the segment. On WhipJury, 720S submissions are uncommon but always memorable. Stock examples in clean condition reliably top voting. Modified 720S examples appear occasionally; the platform is generally not extensively modified given the McLaren heritage and pricing.
