The McLaren 720S lies in a performance category that had top league supercars like the Aston Martin DBS, Ferrari F8 Tributo, and Lamborghini Huracan. The 720S started a booming design trend for McLaren and was produced from 2017 to 2023 to immense popularity. The McLaren 750S is a facelift of the now-discontinued McLaren 720S. It is a great successor to the beloved 720S as it continues the legacy of the 720S' lethal combination of speed and control with better responsiveness, style, and speed. The 750S Spider takes the supercar thrill a grade further by letting you enjoy the deep roar of the exhaust when the top is down. The McLaren 750S is 66 pounds lighter than the 720S and its engine is a twin-turbo V8 with higher horsepower and engine torque. The car has gearing meant to make it more responsive in tight corners and has a top speed of 206 mph compared to the 212 mph claimed for the McLaren 720S. McLaren announced that the car has 30% new parts. The physical changes include oversized air intakes and a redesigned exhaust and gear system.
The McLaren 750S has a 740hp V8 engine with 590 pound-feet of torque. The transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch and helps the car hit 60mph in under 3 seconds. The car is physically 66 pounds lighter than its predecessor, the 720S, and the drive shows this weight loss through its sheer responsiveness. The suspension offers great road grip, and steering performance on high-speed drives is perfection. The 750S turns corners like a professional racecar. The tire fitting is staggered to improve performance with 19-inch wheels for the front and 20-inch for the rear. Drivers can save their favorite driving specs for the transmission, aero, and powertrain in the McLaren Control Launcher (MCL), which allows them to save the setting by pressing the Speedy Kiwi button. Pressing the button brings the car to the specified settings immediately. The 750S Spider has a Retractable Hard Top (RHT) normal to the McLaren Spider range. The only change is the speed with which the top rolls up, which is now just 4 seconds compared to 11 seconds for the older 720S Spiders. The Spider is reviewed as slightly stiffer and easier to maneuver than the standard 750S hardtop.
The interior of the 750S Spider is an improvement from the slightly complicated interior of the 720S with more logical controls and, best of all, the car sounds significantly better with the introduction of Apple CarPlay if you are willing to forego listening to the car's exhaust which is the best sounding note that McLaren has produced in a few years. The roar of the exhaust is exhilarating in the Spider, even if the top is up, as a retractable rear window lets the exhaust sound into the cockpit. The control panel has significantly improved over previous models, with a digital display and switches built around the steering panel. When adjusted to the driver's preference, the hood section moves with the steering wheel. The steering wheel is free from any control buttons unlike other supercars. In a significant design improvement over the 720S, the entire dashboard panels are easily accessible. The nose lifter button for bumpy roads is also easier to use. The entertainment and GPS screens are also much more straightforward than the 720S options. The only fault in the interior is in the seats, which are standard for supercars but can be challenging to climb in and out of. The carbon bucket seats that are an optional add-on are very narrow and tight to sit in. The standard seats are also narrow and uncomfortable to sit on. The cabin has minimal storage options with small console slots for small items like keys and a wallet.
The exhaust note has been specially worked on and is a wonder to listen to. It sounds better compared to previous McLaren models. The car doesn't have the exhaust mufflers standard to other cars, and the exhaust is exhilaratingly loud when driven fast on a straight road. The 750S Spider is 100 pounds heavier than the coupe because of the vertical rear window and retractable hardtop mechanism for the convertible roof. This window can be rolled down to let the car’s excellent exhaust notes into the cabin, even if the top is on. The exhaust is steel and curves upwards slightly towards the rear window. The standard wheels on the 750S Spider are also the lightest in the brand's production line to date. The car has an excellent transmission, but if you want to experience the full power of the V8, you can use the shift paddles to enjoy the pleasure of full-bodied RPMs and hear the full power of the exhaust scream. The car is smooth and light to the touch, making it a dream to speed around in.
The McLaren supercars always benefit from the tweaking that the carmaker does—the 750S benefits from innovative tweaks like additional fuel pumps for the V8 engine and other cooling features. The 750S Spider is a carbon fiber single shell construct and houses a V8 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine that now has dual fuel pumps to give it more power. The car’s transmission has been reprogrammed to support its crosslinked shocks, now in the 3rd generation. The car has slightly softer and stiffer front and rear springs. There is a large rear wing flap to help improve the Spider’s stability at high speeds, and the lighter body improves the driving experience. This model's higher hp, torque, and lower body weight mean that the car is now technically a cross between the 720S and the more aggressive speed performer, 765LT, and it has the functions to prove it. McLaren planned this strategy as they wanted to bridge the performance gap between the two variants going forward. They have largely succeeded as the 750S's steering is sharp and ultra-responsive, even at high speeds on wet roads, and can seem too sensitive for some, but it adds to the supercar experience while keeping the drive easy. The tires are light but offer excellent road grip at high-speed turns. The gear drive is shortened to provide stronger acceleration, and pistons and twin-scroll turbochargers boost the engine. The engine also has supplemental cooling features to help handle the heat better. The throttle is sharp, and turbo lag is minimal. The engine is faster than the 720S but is also less fuel-efficient.
Buying the McLaren 750S Spider will knock you at least $350,500 at its base price alone. This is justifiable for the car's driving experience and on-road performance.
