We think it looks stunning in Memphis Red
Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year, the 2018 McLaren 720S has already made us forget there ever was a 650S before it.
It's better looking and more capable in any possible way than its predecessor, a fact reflected in the overwhelmingly positive reviews we've seen so far.
At the model's debut, McLaren wasn't too generous with the photos, but that minor inconvenient has been rectified now because the sports car manufacturer has released a big photo gallery of its new Super Series model to coincide with the start of deliveries this month.
Chances are you already know what the 2018 McLaren 720S is all about, but a short reminder shouldn't hurt. The 650S' successor is powered by a new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that delivers 710 hp (720 PS) at 7,500 rpm and 770 Nm (568 lb-ft) of torque at 5,500 rpm. The unit is mated to a seven-speed SSG dual-clutch transmission.
Thanks to a power-to-weight ratio of up to 561 PS per tonne, the 720S sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h (0-124 mph) in 7.8 seconds, topping out at 341 km/h (212 mph).
Besides the engine, high points are the Monocage II carbon fiber structure, Proactive Chassis Control II active chassis system, active aerodynamics, and folding instrument cluster.
You can have the 720S in one of 34 exterior paint colors and many interior color combinations — and that's before you call McLaren Special Operations.
By now you should be convinced you need a 720S in your life, but there's a "minor" detail you need to consider: it costs from £208,600 in the UK (about $270,000).
