In its lightest form with all available carbon fiber and lightweight options selected, the coupe weighs 1,277kg, boasting a segment-leading power-to-weight ratio of 587PS-per-tonne. This remarkable weight reduction of 193kg compared to its closest competitor translates to a power-to-weight advantage of 22PS.

The 750S Spider, designed with a focus on minimizing weight, features a Retractable Hard Top (RHT), a rollover protection system, and a carbon fiber upper structure without additional reinforcement, ensuring segment-leading power-to-weight at 566PS-per-tonne. The car weighs 1,326kg in its lightest dry form.

The 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, delivering 750PS and 800Nm of torque, propels the 750S from 0 to 100km/h in 2.8 seconds, outperforming its closest competitor in both 0-100km/h and 0-200km/h accelerations. The Proactive Chassis Control linked-hydraulic suspension has been upgraded to PCC III form, providing even higher levels of suspension performance, enhancing the dynamic abilities of the 750S.

PRECISION CRAFTSMANSHIP; CENTERED ON THE DRIVER

"Emphasizing the heightened performance for 750S drivers, our vehicle dynamics team focused on delivering a tangible 'feel,' while our designers aimed to showcase the advanced, driver-centric features within the cabin. Notable additions like the steering column-mounted instrument display and HD screens are readily apparent, but the overall quality and meticulous craftsmanship of the 750S are evident throughout," says Sandy Holford, Chief Engineer for the 750S at McLaren Automotive.

The McLaren 750S cabin is unapologetically centered on the driver. Advanced technologies seamlessly blend with luxurious materials, with a hidden innovation beneath the leather and Alcantara surfaces - a robust carbon fiber monocoque linked to Formula 1 roots.

Introduced with the groundbreaking MP4/1 race car in 1981, the carbon composite monocoque remains a pinnacle of advanced construction. The 750S continues to harness the advantages of carbon fiber, allowing for the unique design of dihedral doors on the coupe and a bespoke retractable hardtop for the Spider.

Carbon fiber enables the creation of ultra-slim A-pillars for improved forward visibility, glazed C-pillars for the coupe, and compact tonneau buttresses for the Spider, enhancing over-the-shoulder visibility. Customers can opt to showcase elements of the carbon fiber structure within the cabin for authenticity.

The 750S showcases aerodynamic innovation with its 'form follows function' design philosophy. The organic form is enhanced by reprofiled elements, including 'eye sockets' and an enlarged active rear wing. The carbon fiber, aluminum, and composite bodywork seamlessly incorporate aerodynamic features.

The interior design places the driver at the center, offering near 360-degree visibility. The coupe and Spider share narrow A-pillars, providing excellent sightlines. The enhanced visibility is achieved through innovative design elements, such as glazed C-pillars for the coupe and a bespoke carbon fiber structure for the Spider.

The 750S is not just a performance marvel; it's a visual spectacle. McLaren offers various interior themes, allowing customers to personalize their driving experience. Beyond standard exterior paint finishes, Elite colors and bespoke options from McLaren Special Operations provide additional choices.

McLaren assures peace of mind with a three-year warranty, a scheduled maintenance/service plan, and extended warranty options. The McLaren 750S is a testament to precision engineering, cutting-edge technology, and a relentless pursuit of driver satisfaction.
