![]() ![]() Due to the integral roll structure of the monocoque used in the 720S, the Spider did not need additional bracing to compensate for the loss of a fixed roof. The 720S Spider was introduced in December 2018 as the brand's new open-top flagship sports car. The vehicle went on sale on 7 March 2017, with deliveries to customers starting in May 2017. The vehicle was unveiled in 2017 Geneva International Motor Show. The interior of the car includes a folding driver display and carbon fibre accents. All of the exterior features result in an improvement of 50% more downforce than the 650S. The design was inspired by the great white shark and features a teardrop-shaped cockpit. The rear of the car features thin LED taillights similar to those on the McLaren P1, and two round exhaust pipes. The doors feature air channels that direct air to the engine. The headlights hide air vents that funnel incoming air to two small radiators in front of the wheels. The McLaren 720S features twin-hinged butterfly doors and many design features from the McLaren F1. McLaren claims class-leading efficiency for the new 720S, with CO 2 emissions of 249 g/km and combined fuel economy of 26.4 mpg ‑imp (22.0 mpg ‑US 10.7 L/100 km) -both of these figures represent an improvement of around 10% from the 650S. The 720S also comes with Variable Drift Mode, which manipulates the stability control to help drift the car. Performance Īccording to McLaren the 720S can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 7.8 seconds, can achieve a maximum speed of 341 km/h (212 mph), and has a 1⁄ 4 mile (402 m) time of 10.3 seconds. The car comes with three driving modes: track, sport, and comfort with the first focusing on an enhanced track driving experience. The touch screen on the center console is angled towards the driver, and vital controls are designed to be in the driver's easy reach. The main focus of the interior is the driver and this is reflected by the new digital display behind the steering wheel which retracts to a thin screen to reveal vital information to the driver when the car is in track mode. A Bowers and Wilkins audio system and fixed carbon fibre racing seats are included as an option. Alcantara and Weir leather upholstery along with carbon fibre trim is standard. The interior is designed to be a blend of modern and race-inspired elements. The same tub underpins the Senna, Speedtail and the Elva sports cars. It also reduces the size of the pillars of the roof, improving visibility for the driver. Called the MonoCage II, the tub allows for dihedral doors with large cutouts for easier entry and exit. The carbon fibre tub used in the 720S' chassis is based on the similar principle of the MonoCage unit in the P1 but is 18 kg (40 lb) lighter than its predecessor. The system uses findings from a PhD course at the University of Cambridge. The new system features accelerometers on the top and pressure sensors at the bottom of the dampers to precisely communicate to the car's onboard computer the driving conditions in real-time for optimum suspension settings. The ProActive Chassis Control II active suspension system used in the 720S is an evolution of the system used in the 650S but is 16 kg (35 lb) lighter than the previous version. The engine has a rated power output of 720 PS (530 kW 710 hp) at 7,500 rpm, giving the car its name the maximum torque is 568 lb⋅ft (770 N⋅m) at 5,500 rpm. The 720S features McLaren's new M840T engine which is an evolution of the M838T used in the 650S. ![]() The 720S according to McLaren is 91% new as compared to its predecessor. The 720S is the first all-new car to be introduced by McLaren as a part of its new plan to launch 15 new cars into the market by 2022. The 720S was launched at the Geneva Motor Show on 7 March 2017 and is built on a modified carbon monocoque, which is lighter and stiffer than the previous model, the 650S. It is the second all-new car in the McLaren Super Series, replacing the 650S beginning in May 2017. ![]() The McLaren 720S is a sports car designed and manufactured by British automobile manufacturer McLaren Automotive. ![]()
