Super sexy
720s
McLaren’s know-how with lightweight, aerodynamic, ferocious supercars is undeniable, and the 720S is proof. A 710-hp twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic and blasts from zero to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds. Drift mode is offered in addition to Comfort, Sport, and Track settings; cruising is surprisingly quiet and civilized. A touchscreen infotainment system is standard, as is a digital gauge cluster that hides away in the dashboard.The new Monocage II tub now incorporates carbon fiber consisting of the windshield surround and continues through the center roof section. These improve structural integrity—load bearing for the 650S, this car’s predecessor, was handled entirely by the lower tub—which explains why coupe and spider versions had the same torsional rigidity. The composite greenhouse components also save weight compared to the previous model’s aluminum pillars and windshield header. McLaren says the body is 40 pounds lighter, with the 720S’s overall dry weight falling to a claimed 2828 pounds with every available lightweight option.The 720S has made dramatic progress in that direction, being a much more involving and more exciting car than the 650S
