2023 McLaren 750S

Last year, McLaren discontinued its 720S sports model, and now the British company has revealed its successor, the McLaren 750S. It is McLaren’s lightest production model.

This sports car is equipped with a hydraulic steering system, making it one of the best cars on the road/track. The latest edition of McLaren’s adaptive suspension (PCC III) is hidden behind ultra-light rims, while the list of optional equipment also includes the carbon-ceramic brakes used by the McLaren Senna.

The car weighs only 1,276 kilograms, which makes it lighter than its predecessor by thirty kilograms. The McLaren 750S is powered by a mid-mounted 4.0-L biturbo V8 engine with 750 hp (552 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque, which is 30 hp more than the McLaren 720S. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with shortened gear ratios compared to the 720S.

More power allows the 750S to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 7.2 seconds and 186 mph (300 km/h) in less than 20 seconds. The top speed that this two-seater can reach is 206 (332 km/h).
