720s Retired

The McLaren 720S represents a watershed moment in supercar evolution—a machine that rewrites expectations for what mid-engine exotics can achieve. This isn't merely fast; it's transcendent, combining 710 horsepower from its twin-turbocharged V8 with McLaren's cutting-edge aerodynamics and chassis technology to create an experience that approaches Formula 1 performance for the road.

Beneath the elegant dihedral doors lies McLaren's M840T 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, a masterpiece of engineering producing 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. Power flows through a seamless seven-speed dual-clutch transmission to the rear wheels, propelling this carbon fiber-intensive supercar from 0-60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and onward to a top speed of 212 mph. Yet raw numbers only hint at the 720S's capabilities—it's the integration of power, chassis dynamics, and aerodynamics that creates true automotive artistry.

McLaren's Proactive Chassis Control II system continuously adjusts damping in real-time, while Brake Steer technology subtly brakes the inside rear wheel during cornering to sharpen turn-in. The revolutionary Monocage II carbon fiber structure contributes to a dry weight of just 2,828 pounds despite comprehensive luxury appointments. Variable Drift Control allows adjustable slip angles for those seeking controlled oversteer on private roads or track environments.

The 720S introduces McLaren's innovative Folding Driver Display that retracts into the dashboard in Track mode, eliminating distractions and focusing attention on the road ahead. Retractable rear spoiler and active underbody panels optimize aerodynamics for efficiency or downforce depending on driving mode. From the P Zero Corsa tires to the carbon ceramic brakes, every component reflects McLaren's Woking headquarters' obsessive pursuit of performance perfection.

Press the 720S’s starter and the M840T V8 ignites with a purposeful rumble that builds to a mechanical symphony as revs climb—turbochargers spooling with an addictive whistle, exhaust note shifting from baritone to soprano as you approach the 8,500-rpm redline. Engage Sport or Track mode and the active exhaust opens fully, transforming the soundtrack from refined to raw, every throttle blip echoing off Southampton’s manicured hedgerows.

The acceleration is simply otherworldly. Roll onto the throttle from low revs and the 710 horses awaken with a ferocity that shoves you deep into the carbon fiber seats, the horizon rushing forward as the seven-speed gearbox fires off upshifts with mechanical precision. The sensation isn’t merely fast—it’s transcendent, the kind of acceleration that compresses your chest and distorts your perception of speed and distance. Second gear alone carries you past highway speeds, third gear into territory where license retention becomes a genuine concern.

Through the corners approaching Bridgehampton or along Dune Road’s sweeping bends, the 720S exhibits supernatural poise. Turn-in is immediate and precise, the electro-hydraulic steering alive with feedback, the Proactive Chassis Control II system managing body motions so effectively that the car feels telepathically connected to your intentions. Trail brake into a corner and the rear end rotates with adjustable grace—manageable and progressive, yet thrilling for those who know how to exploit it. The carbon ceramic brakes provide immense, fade-free stopping power, the pedal feel firm and confidence-inspiring even from triple-digit speeds. This is a supercar that rewards skill while forgiving minor mistakes—the perfect companion for Hamptons roads that demand both performance and composure.
