750S ups the ante as most powerful McLaren ever

The wait is finally over! The much anticipated 2024 McLaren 750s has finally been unveiled, this specific model has been designed with the purist driver in mind, and it promises to deliver an unparalleled driving experience that will most likely take your breath away.

At the heart of the 750s is a twin-turbocharged 4,0-litre V8 engine that is capable of producing a whopping 551 kW of power and 800 N.m of torque. Paired with an updated seven-speed sequential gearbox with a shorter final drive ratio, this supercar can go from 0-100 km/h in just 2,7 seconds, leaving everything else in its wake.

But the 750s is not just about raw power, it has been designed and engineered to perfection, with advances in weight-saving, powertrain performance, aerodynamics, and dynamic excellence that will elevate your driving experience to new heights. Around 30% of the car’s components are either new or changed to deliver these improvements, and with them comes an even greater emotional connection to the car.

McLaren has left no stone unturned in its quest for excellence, and this is evident in every aspect of the 750s. The exterior of the car has been designed to further sharpen McLaren’s “form follows function” philosophy, with a new bumper that channels air into the redesigned and narrower eye sockets that house the LED lighting and a path to the low-temperature radiators.

A new extended front splitter provides aerodynamic balance, working in connection with the 20% larger active rear wing. At the rear of the coupe and convertible, you’ll find a P1-inspired centre-exit exhaust system that had designers repositioning the active rear wing two inches higher. The 750s is also fitted with bigger intakes ahead of the rear wheel, a new rear bumper, a new mesh grille, and a new rear deck.

The interior of the 750s is just as impressive, with an Alcantara interior that is standard, and two additional specifications available: TechLux and Performance. The first uses Nappa leather throughout the cabin, while Performance combines leather and Alcantara. McLaren has further improved the interior with a new dark metal finish and customizable ambient lighting. The cabin receives new displays, with the instrument cluster moving inside a binnacle attached to the steering column. The new McLaren Control Launcher allows drivers to save their favourite aero, handling, powertrain, and transmission settings accessible via a single button press. Apple CarPlay is standard.

McLaren has also worked tirelessly to reduce the car’s weight compared to its predecessor. The carbon fibre-shelled racing seats are 17 kilograms lighter than the standard seats in the 720S. The company has also installed the lightest wheel ever fitted on a series-production model, 10-spoke forged alloy rims that save another 13 kilograms.

The 2024 McLaren 750s is a masterpiece of engineering, design, and performance that defines a new benchmark for supercar performance and driver exhilaration. This is a car that will take your breath away and leave you with a sense of awe and wonder every time you get behind the wheel. If you’re looking for the ultimate driving experience, then look no further than the 750s.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
