McLaren 720S is a car that pushes the limits of possibilities. To sit behind the wheel of a McLaren 720S is to rediscover the true meaning of engagement between driver and car.
The architecture, the all-round visibility and the complex shape just wouldn’t be possible with aluminium or any other metal. Carbon fibre delivers this with all the advantages of strength and weight in a structure that nobody else offers. Which is precisely why a carbon fibre monocoque has been at the heart of every McLaren. In the 720S, the traditional metal superstructure of the car with carbon fiber makes one shell… Monocage II. Exceptional structural rigidity helps to keep driver and passenger safe. And allows for slimmer pillars – enhancing cockpit space and visibility. While the lowered centre of gravity breathes new life into every element of driving dynamics.
Its powerful simplicity has resulted in truly iconic car designs. A legacy into which the 720S Coupe now takes its place. As soon as air hits the car, every curve and channel is designed to use it to enhance performance. As efficiently as possible. Hidden ducts within the headlights guide air to cool the engine. Fast flowing air is directed around the windscreen and into channels concealed within the doors.
Sit behind the wheel of the 720S Coupe and it feels as if the car was built with you already in place. That’s because everything about this stunning interior is focused on the driver. From the touch of the materials. To the ergonomic design of the driver interfaces. There’s supreme quality and comfort in every detail. Controls are carefully angled and positioned for easy reach with minimum distraction. It’s an interior crafted around you. Allowing full commitment to an exhilarating drive. You can also choose finishing options to suit your personal tastes.
The 720S specification features two-tone colour combinations in Alcantara® or Nappa leather, plus machined and anodised aluminium switches. 720S Luxury envelops the cabin in highest-quality leather – with iridium brightwork and electricallyoperated and heated seats as standard. Then there’s the 720S Performance specification, which evokes the high energy and power of the track. Alcantara® features throughout, with carbon and dark technical finishes creating a moody interior.
The new M840T McLaren engine is a 4.0-litre V8 unit with twin scroll turbochargers for enhanced response. It’s always ready to give more – devouring road and track with ravenous appetite. Once you’re behind the wheel, all those inspired improvements – like a new intake manifold and stiffer, lighter crankshaft – mesh into a brilliant beating heart. There’s 720PS and 770Nm of torque behind you. Touch the pedal and you’ll feel the instant response from the engine at work. The new engine is also positioned as low as possible between the front and rear axles – increasing the car’s handling prowess, and its luggage capacity. The McLaren 720S accelerates from 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 212 mph.
