NEED TO KNOW Dropping as much as 66 lbs and gaining 30 hp, 750S is now the lightest and most powerful series production McLaren supercar

McLaren 750 SCoupe McLaren's modus operandi — the pursuit for more power and less weight — continues. McLaren’s 750S Coupe delivers the aforementioned objectives via a gently redesigned version of its 720S. Roughly 30% of 750S is new or updated, including a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine that now yields 740 hp as well as a seven-speed transmission with revised ratios that optimize acceleration. Also new: carbon fi ber racing seats; improved vehicle lift system; extended front splitter; forged wheels and the ability to have the area around the headlights matched to the body color, or out fi tted incarbon fi ber. A mesh cover, similar to that of the 765LT, spans the rear deck. The interior borrows from McLaren’s Artura, with the powertrain and handling buttons located on the sides of the instrument panel. There’s new front and rear bumpers too. That McLaren feeling, though — low and lean but strong and steadfast — remains. While the racing team turns 60 this year, the vehicle production arm is roughly a quarter of that age. In that time, the company has created a clear identity. Both revolutionary and evolutionary, McLaren clearly continues to balance the two: the former in the form of the company’s previous unveiling, the hybridized Artura; the latter by way of 750S.
