2027 McLaren 750S Expert Review
Reviewed by Alex Leanse
McLaren is relatively young among supercar brands, but it’s already made some incredible vehicles. The 720S delivered epic performance when it was introduced for 2018, and for 2024 it evolved into the 750S using learnings borrowed from the track-focused 765LT.
With carbon-fiber construction, a powerful mid-mounted V-8, and high-tech chassis hardware, the 750S is built to thrill. Exotic sports car rivals include the Ferrari 296 GTB, Lamborghini Temerario, and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
Le Mans edition introduced
Delta multispoke wheel design becomes available
Smoked White, Ardennes Green, and Volt colors added to standard paint options
Blue brake calipers and seat belts offered as options
The 750S isn’t just a 720S with more power. As always, it’s devastatingly quick in a straight line, but what really elevates it is its precise steering, confident braking, and composed chassis. Few modern road cars feel this sharp and connected .
Track-ready as it feels, the 750S likes to have fun, too—its Variable Drift Control mode adds a playful edge, and when switched to Comfort, the cross-linked suspension delivers ride quality that embarrasses rival supercars.
A few shortcomings remain. The standard seats could use more thigh support, while the optional carbon buckets feel tight. Storage space is practically nonexistent, and the Spider sacrifices some outward visibility compared with the coupe because of its thicker B-pillars.
Still, McLaren has thoughtfully improved day-to-day livability. The steering wheel and instrument binnacle adjust together, making it easier to maintain a clear view of the gauges. The front-axle lift system also works quickly, helping the car clear steep driveways with less fuss.
The McLaren 720S was already a phenomenal machine, and these enhancements make the 750S an even more compelling supercar , whether it’s driven around town, down a back road, or on a racetrack.
Top-Ranked Competitors:
McLaren 750S Engine
Like the 720S, the 750S uses a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8. However, the 750S engine produces 740 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, increases of 30 hp and 22 lb-ft compared to the 720S.
That comes from changes to the engine software and increased turbocharger boost pressure, plus lightweight pistons taken from the 765LT. The 750S uses a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and is RWD only.
How Quick Is the McLaren 750S?
Very quick. In MotorTrend testing, the 750S launched from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. The car crossed the quarter mile in 10.2 seconds at 141.1 mph. McLaren says top speed for the 750S is 206 mph. Standard carbon-ceramic brakes work to undo that mighty acceleration; the 750S stopped from 60 mph in just 96 feet.
MPG and Range
Considering its massive power, fuel economy is decent, coming in at about 15/19 mpg city/highway. We have yet to test its real-world range, but if those estimates are accurate, the 750S should be able to cover more than 300 miles on average.
Safety and Driver Assist Features
Supercars generally focus on giving the driver more control, not less, and the 750S follows that approach. Common driver aids like lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control are not available. However, McLaren does offer a few features aimed at helping owners avoid costly damage.
Front and rear parking sensors come standard, while a 360-degree camera is available as an option. A no-cost front lift system raises the nose electronically to help clear steep driveways and obstacles. The Volumetric Alarm Upgrade monitors movement inside the cabin in case a window is left open.
Every 750S uses a vertically oriented 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen. The system manages climate functions and includes Apple CarPlay , built-in navigation, Bluetooth audio, and SiriusXM radio.
Ahead of the driver, a digital instrument display presents key vehicle information, with manual toggles on either side to change chassis and powertrain modes. A four-speaker stereo comes standard, with a 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system available as an upgrade.
How Expensive Is a 2027 McLaren 750S?
Pricing for a new McLaren 750S starts at approximately $378,000, and the convertible Spider model starts at $400,000. Many options are available, and they’re all expensive—like a $5,000 360-degree camera, $6,000 wheels, an $18,000 carbon-fiber kit, and even a paint job that costs more than $75,000. A highly equipped 750S can easily sticker above half a million dollars.
What Is the McLaren 750S Le Mans Edition?
McLaren has a storied history in motorsports, and to celebrate its success it introduces the 750S Le Mans edition for 2027. Named for the legendary 24-hour endurance race, the 750S Le Mans edition gains a High Downforce Kit that adds a revised front bumper, additional louvres, and a prominent raised rear spoiler that all contribute to 10 percent more downforce than the standard 750S.
A carbon-fiber roof scoop increases engine intake noise, while lightweight titanium exhaust further enhances the sound. Regardless of whether classic McLaren Orange or Le Mans Gray paint is chosen, five-spoke wheels inspired by the McLaren F1 GTR race car are fitted. Only 50 examples of the 2027 McLaren 750S Le Mans edition will be produced.
