McLaren 720S (2019-)

 





The 720S is McLaren's current iteration of its Super Series, slotting in between the entry-level Sport Series and flagship Ultimate Series. It debuted for the 2019 model year to replace the 650S and is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 producing 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch. The 720S launches from zero to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 212 mph. Its underpinnings consist of a carbon fiber body and an advanced suspension, and its interior is driver-focused, laden with premium materials, and not as flashy as those of Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Pricing for the McLaren 720S starts at $301,500. Like with its predecessor, McLaren also offers a limited-edition Long Tail version of the 720S known as the 765LT, which I have yet to see in person. Overall, the McLaren 720S is an incredibly cool and excellent supercar. I have seen a handful of 720S's so far, including a full-scale example made out of Lego bricks, and would say that it is the best "mainstream" McLaren model to date. In addition, I would have a difficult time choosing between the 720S and any version of the Lamborghini Huracan when it comes to which of the two I would rather have and which one I think is better.
