McLaren 720S

Blue · Black interior · Gloss

The 720S is the car the rest of the class had to answer: a carbon tub, a twin-turbocharged V8 behind your shoulders, and glazing almost everywhere, so the cabin feels far airier than a supercar has any right to. Blue over black, with dihedral doors that turn every arrival into an event. Of everything here, it is the most serious choice for a long, fast, surprisingly quiet highway run.

What makes it special

  • Monocage II carbon structure carries the windscreen pillars themselves — which is why visibility is extraordinary for a mid-engine car
  • Twin-turbocharged V8 delivers its shove low down, so it is quick without needing to be wrung out
  • Dihedral doors and a fixed roof: cleaner lines, and the cabin stays cool in Arizona afternoons

Worth knowing

McLaren named the 720S for its metric output — 720 PS. Its Monocage II carbon structure carries the windscreen pillars themselves, which is how the cabin ended up so unusually open for a mid-engine car.

Your Arizona experience

An early run toward the Superstitions before the traffic builds, then back into Phoenix for dinner while it is still cool.
