2024 McLaren 750S Review: Improving Greatness

The McLaren 720S is a fascinating car. The aesthetically integrated aero in the nose, the gobs of performance from the 4.0-liter V8, and its minimalist interior all add up to a treat to drive. Though, as McLaren shows with the 750S, there’s always room for improvement. The 750S takes the 720S and squeezes 30 more hp out of the turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 bringing the total to 740 hp. Adding to the power are revised suspension pieces, redesigned bodywork, and a larger rear wing. According to the folks at McLaren, the 750S can sprint to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds and 124 mph in only 7.2 seconds and runs through its seven-speed automatic transmission before hitting its 206 mph top speed. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek’s Mark Vaughn slides behind the wheel of the 2024 McLaren 750S and puts it through its paces. Vaughn takes you on a guided tour of the 750S and highlights some of the features that have changed during its evolution from the 720S. Vaughn also takes you along on a live drive review.
