The McLaren 720S features twin-hinged butterfly doors and many design features from the McLaren F1. McLaren claims class-leading efficiency for the new 720S, with CO 2 emissions of 249 g/km and combined fuel economy of 26.4 mpg ‑imp (22.0 mpg ‑US 10.7 L/100 km) -both of these figures represent an improvement of around 10% from the 650S. The 720S also comes with Variable Drift Mode, which manipulates the stability control to help drift the car. Performance Īccording to McLaren the 720S can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 7.8 seconds, can achieve a maximum speed of 341 km/h (212 mph), and has a 1⁄ 4 mile (402 m) time of 10.3 seconds. The car comes with three driving modes: track, sport, and comfort with the first focusing on an enhanced track driving experience. The touch screen on the center console is angled towards the driver, and vital controls are designed to be in the driver's easy reach. The main focus of the interior is the driver and this is reflected by the new digital display behind the steering wheel which retracts to a thin screen to reveal vital information to the driver when the car is in track mode. A Bowers and Wilkins audio system and fixed carbon fibre racing seats are included as an option. Alcantara and Weir leather upholstery along with carbon fibre trim is standard. The interior is designed to be a blend of modern and race-inspired elements. The same tub underpins the Senna, Speedtail and the Elva sports cars. It also reduces the size of the pillars of the roof, improving visibility for the driver. Called the MonoCage II, the tub allows for dihedral doors with large cutouts for easier entry and exit. ![]() The carbon fibre tub used in the 720S' chassis is based on the similar principle of the MonoCage unit in the P1 but is 18 kg (40 lb) lighter than its predecessor. The system uses findings from a PhD course at the University of Cambridge. The new system features accelerometers on the top and pressure sensors at the bottom of the dampers to precisely communicate to the car's onboard computer the driving conditions in real-time for optimum suspension settings. The ProActive Chassis Control II active suspension system used in the 720S is an evolution of the system used in the 650S but is 16 kg (35 lb) lighter than the previous version. The engine has a rated power output of 720 PS (530 kW 710 hp) at 7,500 rpm, giving the car its name the maximum torque is 568 lb⋅ft (770 N⋅m) at 5,500 rpm. The 720S features McLaren's new M840T engine which is an evolution of the M838T used in the 650S. The 720S according to McLaren is 91% new as compared to its predecessor. The 720S is the first all-new car to be introduced by McLaren as a part of its new plan to launch 15 new cars into the market by 2022. The 720S was launched at the Geneva Motor Show on 7 March 2017 and is built on a modified carbon monocoque, which is lighter and stiffer than the previous model, the 650S. ![]() It is the second all-new car in the McLaren Super Series, replacing the 650S beginning in May 2017. Performance figures are yet to be confirmed, so our best estimates are included below.The McLaren 720S is a sports car designed and manufactured by British automobile manufacturer McLaren Automotive. Compared to a regular Ford GT, the model will sport a longer wheelbase, bespoke racing gearbox and a Multimatic Adaptive Spool Valve (ASV) race suspension. Providing the power, will be a twin-turbo V6 capable of generating in excess of 800 horsepower. As well only being created in small numbers, the GT Mk IV will attract a mighty $1.7 million price tag, making it a vehicle only a select few will be able to obtain. The 67 examples will be produced in Ontario at the Multimatic facility in Markham. ![]() The Mk IV will utilize a new carbon fiber body, providing a visually stunning and truly functional aerodynamic profile. As the final track-only model, Ford has sought to honor the original 1967 Le Mans winning car. Just 67 examples will be produced, and each of them will be hand-built. ![]() In order to mark the end of Ford GT Mk IV production, Ford has created a mighty special limited edition model.
