The new M480T engine powering the 720S continues the lineage of McLaren’s multiple-award-winning,
twin-turbocharged V8 engine series. The 4.0-litre engine, which has 41 percent new part content compared
to the 3.8-litre engine that continues to feature in the McLaren Sports Series, generates a maximum of
720PS and 770Nm of torque.
Performance is truly astonishing: standstill to 100km/h (62mph) takes less than 3 seconds and just 5 seconds
later the car has passed the 200km/h (124mph) mark on its way to a maximum speed of 341km/h (212mph).
Braking is equally impressive, the new 720S coming to a halt from 200km/h (124mph) in just 4.6 seconds,
covering 117m. Additionally, the extreme efficiency of the engine also goes beyond mere velocity: the new
McLaren 720S delivers 10.7 litres/km combined fuel economy and CO2 emissions of just 249g/km in the New
European Driving Cycle (NEDC).
McLaren’s expertise in carbon fibre structures – every road car built by the British manufacturer since the
McLaren F1 in 1993 has had a carbon fibre chassis – underpins the construction of the new 720S; the
architecture of the car is based around a new carbon fibre ‘tub’ and upper structure, the McLaren Monocage
II. This technology delivers extreme strength and rigidity in a lightweight structure and is the ideal base for
any supercar. A range of aluminium alloys are also used extensively in the chassis, as well as for some body
panels.
A new generation of McLaren’s Proactive Chassis Control, new suspension and the established excellence of
McLaren’s power-assisted, electro-hydraulic steering, all combine to deliver huge reserves of grip, balance
and performance and an unmatched breadth of dynamic capabilities.
The hand-crafted luxury inherent in a McLaren, with the authenticity of fine leathers and machined
aluminium, is complemented by the revolutionary new McLaren Driver Interface, which comprises a Folding
Driver Display and Central Infotainment Screen. In combination with a cabin environment that establishes
new standards in the supercar segment for visibility, space and comfort, these attributes give the new
McLaren 720S an incredible degree of usability and validate its claim to be the most complete supercar on
sale today.
