McLaren 720S - 720S Spider Revealed

[AlvaroF]

Looks a bit like a Huayra to my eyes.

Just me?

This is all i can see now. Also the rear quarter looks even more like the 458 in that photo.

Edit: it was probably the 458 that punched it in the face and gave it a black eye for pinching its rear.

720hp means this thing is going to be bonkers fast.

The numbers goes by PS not HP, so it about 710hp.

 

[Sting]

Just me?

You're joking right? Stingray is way better looking than that McLaren. I have to agree with Lancia Delta.....

For something far more hideous lol.

The lights look like someone punched it in the face and left a black eye.

I'm not a fan of the look but rumor is the air intakes that were on the side have now been moved to the headlights, and travel through the doors to the rear of the car.

Variable drift control?

I mentioned in a status update GTPlanet profile that I am starting to like some of the other McLaren offerings. It began when I saw the McLaren 570C on this week's installment of MotorWeek. I thought this was a very nice looking car. So now that I visited McLaren Automotive's website, I really like this sort of reborn McLaren with these various new offerings. I still remember seeing the McLaren MP4-12C in person at the Houston Auto Show once. It was an amazing experience. None of these cars will ever surpass the likes of the legendary McLaren F1, but none of these newer McLarens are anything to laugh at, either.

The 4.0-litre engine will also be showcased via engine bay lights which switch on during the car's unlocking sequence.

I think we've reached peak 1980s folks.

I think we've reached peak 1980s folks.

IIRC the Super Series cars already flash the lights rave style when you unlock them

[Aphelion]

I am quite excited. Quite excited indeed.

 

[JC_Dude]

Is it going to be officialy revealed with the MCL32?

 

[AudiMan2011]

That braking performance is almost on par with the old Zonda Cinque too.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Jesus. I remember when the F1 LM briefly held the 0-100-0 record at 11.5 seconds. This will need a second longer to go 0-124-0.

Crazy.

Video.

Captain Sparkles, a Minecraft Youtuber that also owns a 675LT and is getting a Ford GT, got invited to the 720S private reveal. Skip to 10:04 (where the video should be linked to) to see his thoughts. Basically, in a nutshell: it's faster than the 675LT and has more room in the cabin. The only pictures of the 720S shown are spy shots that we've actually seen.

http://www.motor1.com/ (Formerly WorldCarFans) is my go-to destination for automotive news, they're pretty quick with car reveals.

Bloomberg releases a photo of 720s before they should have.

 

[Enzo_P1_GTR]

Already like the back of this car more then the 570 and the 650....... But no where near the P1

 

[Darla Starch]

Hmm, I'm totally not gauging market forces in black market organs or anything. Just saying.

No surprise hearing that from you, considering it's almost like you want to marry the damn thing!

I like it. Eager to see the front, though. The spy shots hinted at something really unique & exotic.

It looks like someone spooned out its eyes.
