McLaren 750S: a supercar with a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine
McLaren 750S — the mid-engined supercar launched in 2023, replacing the 720S. In this article, we look at its technology, versions, and what to know when seeking a new or used 750S.
The 750S in brief
The 750S is a McLaren Super Series car with a carbon fibre monocoque, mid-engine layout, and rear-wheel drive. It's designed as an evolution of the 720S: lighter, more powerful, and more precisely controlled.
The car is offered as a coupé and Spider with a retractable hard top. It's very rare in Lithuania.
Which version to choose
The choice is between the coupé and Spider. The coupé is slightly lighter and stiffer, while the Spider offers an open-top driving experience with few compromises.
Much depends on the specific trim, aerodynamic details, and interior finish. Since the car is new, it's worth considering the warranty and history.
Engine and technology
The engine is a 4.0-litre biturbo V8, delivering 750 PS (around 740 hp). The gearbox is a seven-speed dual-clutch, driving the rear wheels.
The car features an active suspension and carbon fibre construction, with 0-100 km/h taking around 2.8 seconds. The interior is driver-focused.
What to check when buying a 750S
Check the service history, warranty, and equipment list. Ensure the car hasn't been repaired after an accident, and inspect the carbon fibre and body elements.
Test the suspension modes, gearbox, and brakes. In the Spider version, check the roof mechanism.
