McLaren is working on giving us an epic speedster, the Ultimate Series model with no windshield. However, as with most good ideas, the internet can copy it, as proven by this epic 720S Speedster rendering.
As it so happens, we talked about this project before. It's a 3D-rendered model by a Chicago-based artist going by Charlie Automotive. But since the last time we saw it, the Speedster has become even more realistic with the help of its new livery.
The white and red are unmistakably those of the Malboro brand. But since it's bad to promote smoking and the artist probably didn't want to deal with a big company, we just get black bars where the logos would have been.
Or maybe this is the version for the P1 GTR race car that honors Senna. Shell, Pirelli, and Blancpain are all plastered on the car, making it look authentic.
On top of this, we have damage and paint chipping from debris, so the 720S Speedster feels like it's been rendered by the best console game engines. But nothing that's processor-generated can match the feeling of a McLaren V8 sucking in air from right next to your head.
The 720S is not the car you should think of when it comes to the speedster design. That's because McLaren also put its name on the Mercedes SLR, which was transformed into an instant jaw-dropper with the Stirling Moss version. The difference here is that a little bit of yellow glass provides minimal protection from the wind. From an aesthetic standpoint, we actually prefer the tiny yellow windshield to nothing at all.
The original version of this rendering actually had more in common with Ferrari, as the artist made both a single-seat and a two-seat version, much like the Monza SP1 and SP2. But which is your favorite no-roof car? Maybe a Porsche the Jaguar. Let us know in the comments section below.
