MCLAREN BUISNESS™. The McLaren 720S will be FACELIFTED and get an interior refresh and update and power will go up and ofcourse so it will come with extra hp and even more impressive dynamic capabilities. My contacts state 2023 for 2024 MY.
The REPLACEMENT will be a McLaren Artura based car with a possible triple electric four wheel drive set up but is a few further years away.
Ofcourse this legendary machine can never be replaced.🐐

Quote>"McLaren Group is close to securing a new funding injection worth more than £100m as it races to bring its latest supercar models into full production.
Sky News has learnt that the British automotive manufacturer is on the brink of finalising a new equity-raise that would give it access to at least £80m of additional capital in what insiders said amounted to a show of confidence from existing investors."

Quote>"McLaren 720S: 5 Reasons Why It’s Still Today’s Greatest Supercar."
Quote>"Typically, maturity is the kiss-of-death for exotic vehicles as emerging technology and innovation make aging vehicles obsolete – but this isn’t the case for the McLaren 720S. Overengineered from the start, this benchmark sports car still earns the title as “Today’s Greatest Supercar.”
Summary quote>"Final Thoughts,
Some may argue that the McLaren 720S has been surpassed by the McLaren 765LT – a track-focused variant with even more power and capability – but that limited-production model is a bit over-the-top as a daily driver (the 765’s spartan cabin, harsh ride, and reduced outward vision is a compromise that diminishes its overall appeal to most). The 720S is nearly as capable on a racing circuit, yet it is much more comfortable on a public highway.
Incredible carbon-fiber construction, a WORLD-CLASS turbocharged V8 engine, benchmark performance, impeccable handling, and adrenaline-pumping performance. There isn’t more that you can ask for, which is why the celebrated McLaren 720S still earns the title as “Today’s Greatest Supercar.”
Nothing else to state. M4L. LOL!

Quote>"Coming from owning many Porsches and coming out of a 991.2 GT3 after having owned a couple of Turbos (997, 991) and a 991.1 GT3, I ventured into Lamborghini with an LP580-2. While I loved the styling and astonishing sound of the V10, I found the car to be lacking in so many different department.
I picked up a Ceramic Grey 720s from McLaren Houston two weeks ago and I could not be happier. I go out of my way to get out and drive this thing. I have much to learn for sure, but I can say for certain that this is the best performing and most engaging car I've ever owned."

Quote>"McLaren Planning All-Wheel-Drive Hybrid that Can Hit 60 MPH in 2.3 Seconds."
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a30119773/mclaren-awd-hybrid/
Quote>"The CEO claims the hybrid will be just 65 pounds heavier than current-generation McLarens, but we suspect that figure applies only to rear-wheel-drive cars that will use a new, lighter V-6 engine paired with the hybrid hardware. The company will likely continue to use turbocharged V-8 engines with hybrid capability in its high-end models."
Etc.

Savage and frightening Nürburgring video, Chiron SS. But in a good sense.
The Mclaren 720S coupe is one of the greatest supercars ever manufactured.
I'm sure this car will be with us for quite few years yet - well, 7 more at least.
Thank you for producing it for us.
Safe driving, Flt 158

I'd like you all meet someone from Mclaren Life. An ACTUAL OWNER, and in this case a STOCK production McLaren 720S!

Quote>"Here is my STOCK 720S running a 10.1 @ 146 on Pirelli Corsa tires while running a 5.21 60-130 !!"
This is his Dragy measurements and verified video!
1/2 mile in 15.69 seconds @176.32MPH!
And it was a slightly soft start!
Unbelievable!
And YES someone actually beat this too!😲
*Although verifications are ongoing, or more correctly benchmarking.

Quote>"Apart from a set of tire heaters, the 720S was completely stock and made three separate runs, each one clocking in at 9.7 seconds, and more than 146 mph. The first run saw the supercar conquer the quarter mile in 9.799 seconds at 146.50 mph. The second run recorded a time of 9.788 seconds at 147.28 mph. And the third run was 9.733 seconds at 146.72 mph, the fastest time of the day."
Three straight runs in the 9 second bracket? Extreme consistency. Piloting skills!

I'd completely forgotten about this. Streetspeed717 is cool AF. LOL! In lockdown I'd watch quite alot of his stuff. More recently not so. He had a ZR1 too so seeing both cars on the same channel was good. If I recall different times mind.
I've only remembered because of an old McLaren Life post. They are a good bunch too.
