orange example of the allegedly-named 720S during a preview event.
Codenamed P14, the new McLaren is expected to offer
720 PS from its revised twin-turbo V8 while using the latest iteration
of the company’s carbon monocoque, making it 18 kg lighter than a 650S
with comparable specification, tipping the scales at 1,283 kg dry.
The new McLaren 720S is reportedly going to have one
of the most impressive aero agendas in the market and a special “track” mode,
just like the P1 did. The same reports go as far as claiming that the new model
will be actually faster than the P1 around a track.
The whole design is certainly a departure from the
650S, with the body featuring much cleaner lines and a very different roofline,
courtesy of the new Monocage II. With the first leaked image already online, don’t be
surprised if McLaren decides to reveal its new supercar earlier so stay tuned.
