We feel like supercars aren't getting the love they deserve right now, what with the lockdown and focus on Teslas. Even after a few years on the market, the McLaren 720S is one of the sexiest machines you can buy for the money, and this one has been taken to the next level by the guys at RDB LA.
RDB specializes in customization and wraps for high-end exotics. They've wrapped the supercars of all your favorite rappers and have a lot of experience with the 720S. In fact, this particular McLaren has been covered by them no less than four times before.
The military/olive shade of green is a very nice touch. It's not too overstated and has rarely been done as a supercar wrap. However, there's a lot of other stuff going on here.
As you may have already noticed, the 720S rocks a lot of carbon fiber parts that McLaren didn't make. These include most of the bumper, the hood, rear wing, and diffuser, among other things. We're informed that it's not a particular package, but instead combines the cool elements offered by carbon fiber specialists such as Novitec N-Largo, 1016 Industries, and Vorsteiner. Looks like the beast also changed its wheels before the photoshoot and probably sits on Novitec custom suspension.
As the title of the video below says, this 720S makes a whole lot of power. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is supposed to have 710 hp, but has been dyno-tested at 910 hp at the rear wheels. That suggests it's making 1,000 horsepower at the crank, enough to lose your license in a couple of seconds and possibly even smash Teslas in drag races.
Toward the end of the video, the crew filming in Los Angeles has a minor altercation with a white GMC Yukon, which tries to separate the McLaren from its camera car.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
