Bummed understates how we felt when McLaren ended production of the 710-hp 720S at the end of 2022. Alas, if not to win our hearts all over again it's mostly back, reincarnated as a lighter and restyled 740-hp version called 750S. It is offered in both coupe and spider body styles, and burning premium behind the seats is a familiar twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. McLaren essentially put the 720S through mechanical engineering weight-loss surgery to build an even quicker car. The center-exit exhaust is lighter, the lightweight wheels reduce rotational mass, and even the pistons, borrowed from the 755-hp 765LT, encourage quicker reaction time when you put your foot down. While the mid-engine 750S might not be an all-new internet-breaking McLaren, we like to think of it as an already impressive supercar ready for spring break after doing five-minute ab workouts all winter.

What's New for 2024?

The McLaren 750S looks similar to the discontinued 720S because it is. It uses a similar powertrain, but this time has even more power. McLaren has gone to great lengths to lower the slithery two-seater's weight to produce an extra-sensational supercar.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Aft of the 750S's cabin lives a 740hp twin-turbo V-8 engine that's not shy about applying its 590 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. A seven-speed dual-clutch handles gear shifts. After sampling the 750S coupe for ourselves, which included some breathtaking track time at Circuito do Estoril in Portugal, we estimate it can hit 60 mph in as little as 2.5 seconds. We're looking forward to confirming that with our own testing, but that would make it slightly quicker than the discontinued 720S we previously tested. Beyond its raw power, the 750S dons a set of lightweight wheels, the lightest ever fitted standard according to McLaren, and aggressive aero bits that give it more downforce than the 720S. McLaren's latest iteration of their hydraulic suspension has lightweight springs and dampers that promise to give the driver more feedback when it comes to carving canyon roads. Borrowing sensibilities from the million-dollar Senna, the 750S slows down with an available ceramic rotor-and-monoblock caliper track brake package. When it comes to navigating life's speed bumps and bumper-scraping parking lot entrances, the 750S will quickly raise its nose with the click of a button. Pirelli P Zero summer tires are standard equipment, and P Zero Corsa and track-focused P Zero Trofeo R rubber are optional. The 750S fitment is staggered, with 19-inch wheels up front and 20-inch wheels for the rear.
