EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE 'NEW' MCLAREN

Here it is folks, the McLaren 750S. Looks a lot like the 720S, sure, but the changes run deep

AIthough McLaren says meticulous analysis was done to improve the 720S, a sense of impishness has entered the previously rather uptight Woking lexicon. While the numbers never lie and the 750S's 579bhp per tonne power to weight ratio is class leading, the new car is definitely more... punk rock. Sharper, sonically enhanced, and more interactive, think of it as more accessible and less intimidating than the knife edge 765LT. The 4.0 twin-turbo V8 now makes 740bhp and 590lb ft, and rockets to 62mph in 2.8secs and 124mph in 7.2. Sure, the 720 was hardly deficient in that department, but a whole load of fine tuning has gone on to liberate a bit more soul.
