Geneva International Motor Show Qatar 2023 - McLaren reveals 750s
The new McLaren 750S Spider made its North American dynamic debut and became a member of the coveted “200 mph club” at the Sun Valley Tour de Force event on Saturday, July 22nd with former McLaren Formula 1 driver Stefan Johansson piloting the brand’s latest supercar.As part of McLaren’s 60th anniversary celebrations, the new 750S joined its predecessors, the renowned 720S and track focussed 765LT, to aim for the 200mph mark on a 3.2 mile stretch of closed state highway in the heart of scenic Sun Valley, Idaho.Johansson was amongst a bevy of McLaren customers who secured VMAX velocities in excess of 200mph at what has been termed ‘the most unique car event in the country’ – a fundraiser organised to benefit non-profit charities in the local Sun Valley area.The McLaren 750S defines a new benchmark for supercar performance and driver exhilaration. The lightest and most powerful series-production McLaren, the new V8-engined, 740bhp McLaren 750S – available in Coupe and Spider versions – is unashamedly a supercar for the purist. With ferocious performance, it can reach 60mph in just 2.7 seconds and 124mph in 7.2 seconds and – as confirmed by Saturday’s run – an independently verified top speed in excess of 200mph.
McLaren Automotive, the iconic creator of high-performance supercars, introduced its lightest and most powerful series-production McLaren, the new 750S, through a video animation envisioned by acclaimed multidisciplinary artist, Ash Thorp. Using his skilled digital techniques, Thorp delivered a surreal, hyper-realistic version of the V8-engined, rear-wheel drive supercar in a dialogue caught between reality and an alternate dimension. The new McLaren 750S defines peak supercar performance and pure exhilaration. Designed and engineered following meticulous analysis of the renowned McLaren 720S, the goal for the 750S was to increase driver engagement while also stretching the dynamic breadth of the car. This process focused on enhancing agility, feedback and connection to increase the ‘sense of fun’ behind the wheel, allowing the driver to feel the performance and elevate a benchmark driving experience to new heights.Possessing an early admiration and fascination for automotive since his teenage years, Thorp’s affinity for vehicle modifications transformed into a whole new world when he became digital artist. Combining his love for automotive, design, graphics, art, photography, and cinematography, Thorp imagined the digital reveal of the 750S without the constraints of the physical realm. Focusing on the extraordinary physical and emotional connection between driver and car, Thorp’s visceral sensation of performance and speed astounds and excites. His digitally crafted vehicle creates a limitless space of rhythmical drama where McLaren’s design ethos of ‘form follows function’ is poetically realized.
McLaren Automotive revealed its unique interpretation of a modern Grand Tourer: the new McLaren GT. Sleek, elegant and muscular, the superlight new GT challenges the conventions of the Grand Tourer category with a compelling blend of beautiful design, high-quality innovative materials, true supercar performance and McLaren driving dynamics and engagement.Positioned alongside the established Sports, Super and Ultimate Series families, this is a new McLaren for a new audience and provides an alternative to existing products in an expanding market segment. In re-imagining the spirit of traditional Grand Touring – long-distance driving in comfort, at higher speeds and with room for luggage – McLaren has also redefined the modern GT ownership experience with a car that is lighter, faster and more engaging than existing products in the segment, with greater space, comfort and usability.
