A leaked image has just surfaced online providing us
with our first proper view of the upcoming McLaren 720S before the Geneva Motor
Show.
This picture shows off the tail of the 720S for the very first time
while also confirming its long-rumored name. Additionally, it provides a
glimpse at the supercar’s overhauled interior.
At the rear, McLaren has taken inspiration from the
675LT, P1 and Sports Series to create a flowing and characterful design that
looks much more modern than the 650S this car replaces. It incorporates thin
LED taillights, a large retractable rear wing/air brake and an aggressive rear
diffuser.
Another interesting take away from this image is
that the 720S appears to have quite a bit of luggage space, just like the
570GT. It includes a large glass rear compartment which appears to only hide
part of the engine, suggesting that there may be some storage space behind the
seats.
Inside, the 720S’ advanced rotating instrument
cluster is visible as is an extensively redesigned center console, infotainment
system and touchscreen.
We already know that the
McLaren 720S will debut a brand new twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine
delivering, as the name suggests, 720 hp. That should be more than enough for
it to show the Lamborghini Aventador SV a thing or two while also rivalling the
more powerful but much heavier Ferrari 812 Superfast.
