With a segment-leading power-to-weight ratio, the new 750S achieves 0-100km/h in just 2.8 seconds.
The McLaren 750S Coupe is priced at NZ$468,000 plus on-road costs, while the McLaren 750S Spider is priced at $522,900 plus on-road costs. The new 750S is available to order now from McLaren Auckland.
The new rear-wheel drive, V8-engined supercar takes the outstanding attributes of the renowned 720S to new heights
“When you have a car recognised by so many drivers as a benchmark, to do something even better you have to examine every detail and really push hard for improvements that raise the bar again,” said Michael Leiters, CEO, McLaren Automotive.
“This is what we have done with the new 750S and the lightweight, V8 engine performance and outstanding dynamic abilities combine to deliver a supercar driving experience that hits new heights, with truly exhilarating levels of emotional connection.”

Meticulous analysis of benchmark predecessor sees around 30% of components new or changed, making 750S more powerful, lighter, quicker and even more thrilling and engaging.
Carbon fibre monocoque construction is core to low vehicle weight – 750S is lighter than 720S by 30kg (DIN) and at lightest dry weight of just 1,277kg, a remarkable 193 kg less than its closest competitor
Carbon fibre-shelled racing seats and the lightest wheels ever fitted as standard on a series-production McLaren among the features that deliver weight-reduction
The 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine with power of550kW and torque of 800Nm provides ferocious performance, with the 750S capable of 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds and 0-200km/h in 7.2 seconds (Spider 7.3 seconds). This is quicker than its closest competitor on both measures. In-gear acceleration is amplified by optimised transmission gearing and a revised kickdown control strategy.
The new interior is even more driver-focused and sets new standards for engagement with displays and controls. It has new driver-centric, column-mounted instrument display flanked by rocker switches that control Active Dynamic settings is a McLaren innovation that allows suspension and powertrain modes to be changed with hands on the steering wheel.

The McLaren Control Launcher (MCL) is another new McLaren technology that debuts on the 750S and adds yet another dimension to the driver’s interface with the car. Activated using a button featuring the famous McLaren Speedmark, MCL allows the driver to personalise their McLaren driving experience by storing a bespoke dynamic preference – their favourite combination of aero, handling, powertrain and transmission settings – that can instantly be recalled with a push of the MCL button.
Drivers will also benefit from new features such as Apple CarPlay® and the new Central Information Screen, which features richer, even more detailed graphics to further enhance the driver experience. The Rear View and Surround View camera systems are also upgraded, for higher definition and clarity and a new vehicle-lift system raises the front of the 750S in only four seconds compared to the 10 seconds it takes in a 720S.
A heightened physical and emotional connection between driver and car is aided by bespoke engine mount tuning, as well as a new central-exit exhaust layout inspired by the McLaren P1™ that is acoustically tuned to give a distinctive clear tone and sharp crescendo at high engine speeds.
