In 2017, at the Geneva International Motor Show, the British company McLaren showed its latest creation: the 720S. With a huge experience gained in Formula 1 and in endurance racing, the McLaren supercar was awaited by passionate drivers all over the world. It has its magic.
The sleek, aerodynamic supercar has a strange look since no door handles and headlights are visible. The door handle is hidden by the door's body panel and the headlights are hidden inside a black casing. The whole aerodynamic package is designed to increase the downforce, which is 50% more than on the previous 650S model.
The interior has a lot of features, but the one that stands out is the folding instrument cluster. The little TFT color display folds down and a secondary, smaller display can be read. And that shows only the tachometer, the gear, and speed. It is intended for the race track mainly, to minimize the information sent to the driver. The larger side, when it flips up, shows more information and it can be set as a screen for the backup camera.
The seats, center console, door panels, and rear shelf are covered in Alcantara. The luxury is at home in this 720S, even though it is intended to be driven fast on the track. And with that mid-engine of 4.0 liters, it can.
