2023 McLaren 720S
Starting at $310.500

Highs: Overflowing wow factor, track-capable but street-friendly, zero-to-120 mph in less than seven seconds.
Lows: Costs like the average US house, subpar brake-pedal feel, you better like attention from strangers.
Verdict: With lust-inducing looks, blistering speed, and brilliant driving dynamics the McLaren 720S is everything an exotic car should be with the bonus of being easy to live with.

Overview

The mid-engine McLaren 720S competes against some serious players, namely the Lamborghini Huracán, Aston Martin DBS, and Ferrari F8 Tributo, 296GTB, and 812 Superfast. But no worries; this is an automaker with a Formula 1 racing pedigree. How much technology transfer from racing actually occurs is up for debate, but the company’s competition spirit inhabits this sinuous two-seater. Its performance matches its looks, which strike a deft balance between elegant and fiercely athletic. The 710-hp, twin-turbo V-8 and dual-clutch transmission partner up for a 60 mph time of well under 3 seconds, and build enough momentum to rocket the car passed the quarter-mile marker in under 10.5 seconds at over 140 mph. It’s got phenomenal grip and agility, too, but doesn’t punish its passengers on imperfect roads. Its shortcomings are few, so those who have the means to purchase a 720S will almost certainly be thrilled with its exotic looks and equally exotic performance. It will be missed.

What's New for 2023?

Changes to the McLaren 720S for the 2023 model year include the addition of two new exterior color options— Storm Grey and Volcano Yellow—as well as a branded armrest option. The automaker has also introduced a three-year service plan. This is the final year of the 720S, as production of this McLaren supercar ended in December 2022.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Both the coupe and convertible version cradle a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 that produces 710 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. Those totals are funneled through a paddle-shifted seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The 720S coupe we tested at our track rocketed to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds and reached 100 mph in 5.2 ticks. We also had the opportunity to pilot a similar version at our annual Lightning Lap, where we called it "wonderfully fun and scary fast." We drove one on a twisting and ill-maintained road in California, where its advanced suspension was able to smooth out imperfections and the steering system was a communicative companion. The experience was further evidence that McLaren has unrivaled chassis tuning.
