Following the 720S Coupe, the 720S Spider is out for supercar blood with the looks to kill and performance to thrill. Priced from $315,000 in the United States, the drop-top sibling is now available to configure to your heart’s content.
The first page of the configurator shows three specifications for the 720 Spider, topped by the Luxury and Performance. Next up, McLaren offers four wheel designs, two wheel finishes, seven colors for the brake calipers, and a choice of two tires: Pirelli P Zero for general use and Pirelli P Zero Corsa for those who feel at home on the racing track.
Moving on to the exterior menu, the options are endless, starting with no less than three packages with carbon-fiber trim. Interior options include a steering wheel clad in carbon fiber by McLaren Special Operations, and even at this price point, the 720S Spider comes with a four-speaker audio system.
Those who feel like blasting The Rolling Stones in their 720S Spider can also do it through the optional Bowers & Wilkins stereo, which includes 12 speakers. Front and rear parking sensors? Yeah, those are optional too.
“Practical” is the final page of the configurator, and curiously enough, the warning triangle and FA kit are optional extras despite the fact they’re mandatory in several countries. Customers can even opt for MSO Defined key fobs, available in black or McLaren Orange.
As it’s also the case with Ferrari, the Woking-based automaker knows how to make its patrons shell out as much greenback as possible. After all, who wants a bone-stock 720S Spider?
Almost 4 percent heavier than the coupe, the drop-top model can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds. The standing quarter-mile sprint is dispatched in 10.4 seconds, and on full song, the 720S Spider is much obliged to hit 341 km/h (212 mph) with the roof raised. Even when lowered, maximum velocity remains mind-boggling at 325 km/h (202 mph).
McLaren even has a name for the roof, and that is Retractable Hard Top. The one-piece design takes 11 seconds to operate, 6 quicker than the 650S Spider the newcomer succeeds.
