McLaren 720s

- Stuart Gallagher

TWELVE MONTHS, HUNDREDS OF TEST CARS, hundreds of thousands of miles driven – all whittled down to ten class winners and one evo Car of the Year.Over the last seven years the McLaren Automotive journey has been a flat-out ride to the top. The hurdles it hit in the early days with the MP4-12C have been cleared and the company’s expansion has been nothing short of remarkable. Since 12C morphed into 650S, the Super Series range has feared nothing the establishment has sent its way, and the 720S is the culmination of this confidence, ability and desire to be the best.
