With the 750S taking its place a few months ago, the McLaren 720S may be dead, but it lives on in spirit in the numerous copies that left the Woking factory in England between 2017 and 2023.
We couldn't find out how many were made over the six-year production run, but we're probably looking at thousands. Therefore, since it's not exactly an automotive unicorn, certain owners felt the need to make theirs shine more.
From all kinds of weird body kits, reupholstered interiors, and the occasional power boost to suspension and wheel upgrades, name it, and it’s been done. And if you were hoping to see what can only be described as an automotive equivalent of a minty candy, then you might grow fond of the example pictured above in the gallery.
Shared by Vorsteiner on its social media a few hours ago, it is the minty look that makes it stand out. Presumably achieved via wrapping, though we could be wrong, and it might've been resprayed, it has a black top, tinted windows, and a pair of aftermarket wheels. These sport the American tuner's, which has a very German name, logo on the center caps, have a multi-spoke styling, and wide lips.
Notice how they were partially tucked under the arches? That is due to a chassis upgrade, allegedly in the form of an adjustable air suspension. Looking at the front, sides, and back end of the British company's defunct supercar reveals that it doesn't feature any more add-ons. We can probably say the same about the interior, given that Vorsteiner hasn't released pictures of it at the time of writing.
It is clear that this McLaren 720S sends love-me or hate-me vibes, as it is not the type of car that is to everyone's taste. But then again, we cannot think of a single model that is everyone's cup of tea. We're curious what lies under the hood, though it is likely the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8.
Without any exterior intervention, it produces 710 horsepower (720 ps/530 kW) and has 568 pound-feet (770 Nm) of thrust available at a hard push of the throttle. A seven-speed automatic transmission sends everything to the rear wheels because the 720S is rear-wheel drive if you forgot, and it needs 2.9 seconds to go from rest to 62 mph (0 to 100 kph).
It'll hit the 124 mph (200 kph) mark in 7.8 seconds after setting off, and if you're brave enough and find a long stretch of road where you can legally and safely max it out, then it will run out of breath at 212 mph (341 kph).
As for its successor, the 750S, which is more of a comprehensive mid-cycle update of the supercar rather than an entirely new generation, is one-tenth faster to 62 mph due to the extra 30 hp (30 ps/22 kW) produced by the motor. Rather strangely, it can keep going up to 206 mph (332 kph), so it's a bit slower than the 720S in this aspect.
