McLaren Automotive has announced the launch of the new McLaren 750S in India, without divulging the price of the highly-anticipated supercar. The 750S is the lightest and most powerful series-production McLaren to date, replacing famed 720S as the flagship and will be sold in Coupe and Convertible variants. Both the McLaren 750S Coupe and Spider are available to order now from McLaren Mumbai.

McLaren 750S: Performance
The new McLaren 750S is fitted with a 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivering up to 750PS and a torque output of 800Nm. Capable of achieving 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds and 0-200km/h in 7.2 seconds (Spider 7.3 seconds), 750S is quicker than its closest competitor over both distances.
The model features a new rear-wheel drive configuration and combined with a V8 engine, the model beats the renowned 720S to achieve a segment leading power-to-weight ratio of 587PS-per-tonne (coupe, at lightest dry weight) – a 22PS advantage over its closest competitor.
At the heart of the improved dynamic capabilities of 750S is McLaren’s Proactive Chassis Control linked-hydraulic suspension. The new generation system, PCC III, means that the dynamic capabilities of 750S are even greater while maintaining the same levels of comfort while improving overall circuit performance.
Also debuting on 750S is the McLaren Control Launcher (MCL) technology. Activated using a button featuring the famous McLaren ‘Speedy Kiwi’, MCL allows the driver to personalise their McLaren driving experience by storing a bespoke dynamic preference – their favourite combination of aero, handling, powertrain and transmission settings.
McLaren 750S: Design
The construction of the carbon fibre monocoque, carbon fibre-shelled racing seats and the lightest wheels ever fitted as standard all work towards delivering a low weight vehicle. The McLaren 750S is lighter than 720S by 30kg (DIN) with its lightest dry weight just 1,277kg, 193 kg less than its closest competitor.
This process has included the lengthened active rear wing which is 20% larger than the wing of the 720S, yet is 1.6kg lighter due to its carbon fibre construction. Built at the McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) in Yorkshire, UK, angle configurations are unique to Coupe and Spider with three main operational positions to improve downforce, reduce drag and the performance of high speed braking.

McLaren 750S: Cabin
The McLaren 750S interior has also been reimagined to be more driver-focused. The instrument display is fitted to the steering column which is now 1.8kg lighter and has controls to select both Powertrain and Handling on either side allowing the driver select between Comfort, Sport and Track Active settings.
“For 60 years, our past has fuelled our future. At McLaren Racing, every second can make a meaningful difference on the track for our F1 drivers. At McLaren Automotive, this same DNA drives us, every small change yields significant results. It is this ethos from which the 750S was created, carrying this DNA into a new era. It improves everything that matters to a driver and raises the supercar benchmark that we previously set so high with the 720S.
Drivers have long revered McLaren as the epitome of driving performance and the reputation of 720S meant that 750S needed scrupulous consideration to create a supercar that enhanced its predecessor. Supreme attention to detail has allowed us to produce a lighter iteration with truly outstanding dynamic abilities. As with all McLarens, it offers an immersive and exhilarating driving experience that delivers a truly emotional connection for the driver,” Paul Harris, Managing Director – APAC and China, McLaren Automotive.
