Cons

Phenomenal price

What's new

No significant changes for the 720S
Part of the first 720S generation introduced for 2018

The 2019 McLaren 720S is, basically speaking, a mid-engine coupe. But there's a lot more here that elevates the 720S to supercar status. As with other McLarens, the backbone of the 720S is a carbon-fiber tub that gives the chassis incredible rigidity and helps keep weight down. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged V8 that pumps out a thundering 710 horsepower. And topping it all off are dihedral doors (they open out and up for easier entry) and sleek styling that's unmistakably McLaren.

Part of McLaren's Super Series, the 720S sits smack-dab in the middle of McLaren's lineup. That means the 720S takes its place between less expensive models such as the 570S and track-dedicated — and much more expensive — machines such as the McLaren Senna. McLaren has strived to make the 720S just as comfortable as it is fast, and though that's a tall order, the 720S maintains a fair bit of day-to-day usability. It can be outfitted with supple leather and a solid audio system, and it even offers front and rear trunks for added practicality.

There's not much else that offers what the 2019 720S offers, but other notable vehicles include Porsche's ultimate 911, the GT2 RS and the Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Competitors might come with more evocative engine sounds or a more storied racing lineage, but it's hard to argue with this McLaren’s breadth of performance and comfort.

This is THE ULTIMATE Supercar!!!

Hadleigh Keesee, 08/21/2020

2019 McLaren 720S Luxury 2dr Coupe (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 7AM)

My partner and myself are car enthusiasts, and more specially supercar/high performance car enthusiasts. We have a 2020 Tesla Model S Dual Motor w/Ludicrous+ and we wanted to buy something with a more visceral/exhilarating feel to it (especially at higher speeds). As any other person in this market would do, we started renting super cars that we thought could be a promising prospect. We … tried a Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari 488, Lamborghini Huracan , MB SLS and AMG GT, Audi R8, BMW i8, and McLaren 570 and 720s. The 720s blew our expectations of what a supercar should be, out of this world. It drives better than any other car, that we tried out, and then some. The interior in the luxury model is definitely superior to the other cars in the same market. The frunk is huge for a supercar, we fit the LEGO Disney castle box in it and it still had more to give! The infotainment system is also really good for a car at this level, though sometimes cuts out (though only probably 1 out of 100 drives). That is probably the only complaint that I have about the car, and even then, you just have to restart it and then everything is fine. The performance is above anything else we drove as well, besides the Model S 0-60, of course. But, beyond that, the McLaren puts it in the dust. We have driven this car at high speeds and it just wants to keep giving you more, even at 150+ mph, as if you were just going from 0. The car has suspension lift, which is amazing for driveways and speed bumps! Something that they don’t really show you, is how to really control this car and which options you should have active while driving (for instance, keeping the eco setting on during the winter when first starting the car to keep the engine heating and also driving in active mode for the best results). I highly recommend researching or asking plenty of questions if you are new to McLarens! The exterior, in my opinion, is so superior to any other car on the street. It’s very futuristic and has such beautiful curves to it. I’m constantly noticing admirers every time I drive, though it’s not as crazy as if I was in a Ferrari or Lamborghini (if you don’t want as much attention as those this is the car for you). This has become my ultimate favorite car and would highly recommend it to anyone who can afford to buy and maintain such a beautiful car! I definitely recommend buying used as these, sadly, don’t hold their value as well as the other options, partly because they are still quite a niche company. I highly recommend this car to anyone in the supercar market or anyone who has the opportunity to even just rent one. Though be ware

Safety

Our experts like the 720S models:

Front and Rear Parking Sensors: Warn you when you're approaching a nearby object or wall with either the front or rear bumper.
360 Degree Park Assist: Gives you a bird's-eye view of the vehicle for parking in tight spaces or getting around tight corners.
Brake Pad Wear Sensors: Alerts you of brake pad wear, which can be particularly useful if you plan to take your McLaren out on the racetrack.
