McLaren recently confirmed that its successor to the
650S will debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2017 in early March.
If the latest speculation is to be believed, the
model will be dubbed the 720S and debut a new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8
engine from the Woking-based automaker. While no official pictures or teasers
of the P14 have been released, a member on the McLaren Life forum and Drive
Tribe has rendered how the car could look.
The renderings in question are based around spy
shots which surfaced of the model back in September. They showed a matte grey
P14 prototype absent of any camouflage and believed to be adorned with its
production-spec body. Although it’s hard to say why McLaren tested such a
revealing prototype in public, we now know just how much of a looker the 720S
will be.
At the front, it will include a set of thoroughly
re-designed headlights which don’t mimic the shape of the brand’s logo like all
of its existing models. Additionally, the shape of the vehicle’s cabin will
closely mimic that of the P1 hypercar as will some of its prominent lines and
creases along the sides.
The model looks like an appropriate mix
between the outgoing 650S and the P1 and seems set to make the design of the
488 GTB seems pedestrian.
