McLaren 750S Coupé, Spider launched with 750 PS, 800 Nm V8 4.0L – 30 kg lighter than 720S, 0-100 in 2.8 seconds
British supercar manufacturer McLaren has revealed its latest series-production duo, the 750S Coupé and 750S Spider. This succeeds its predecessor, the 720S Coupé debuted six years ago in 2017, then spider in December 2018.
Top supercars tend to be identified by headline figures, and so one of the key statistics of the 750S Coupé and Spider lies in the name – engine output is 750 hp and torque. 800 Nm of torque from the M840T 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8. sent to the driven wheels through a seven-speed gearbox.
McLaren notes that these outputs surpass the ICE figure of the previous Ultimate Series model, Mclaren P1 making 737 hp and 720 Nm from the internal combustion engine (913 hp and 900 Nm when combined with electric drive), and is a refresh of the 720S, the new 750S is all internal combustion engine and RWD.
Changes may appear minimal on the surface, however McLaren notes that around 30% of the components on the 750S are ‘new or changed’ compared to its predecessor. McLaren claims a 30 kg reduction in weight for the 750S Coupé from the 720S to 1,277 kg (1,389 kg DIN), which the manufacturer says is 193 kg less than its closest competitor – which it has not named, but very much may refer to its opponent from Italy.
The weight reduction was achieved thanks to the seats, wheels, instrumentation and glass; McLaren says the carbon fiber seats are 17.5 kg lighter than standard parts on the 720S, while the 10-spoke lightweight forged wheels – the lightest ever on a mass-produced McLaren – save money. 13.8 kg. The driver’s dashboard saves 1.8 kg, while the windshield saves 1.6 kg.
Specifically, the 750S Spider is only 49 kg heavier at 1,326 kg (dry) than its Coupé sibling, and therefore offers the best power-to-weight ratio in its class of 566 PS/ton, McLaren said. Of course, the lighter Coupé does even better, with a rate of 587 PS/ton.
Therefore, the aforementioned twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 750 hp/800 Nm helps the 750S Coupé accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 7.2 seconds or 7. ,3 seconds for the Spider version. Engine power output for the 750S is achieved by a higher-pressure turbocharger, higher-flow fuel pump, lighter pistons, revised engine management system, and a central exhaust. New center saves 2.2 kg.
Changes to the chassis compared to the 720S yield softer springs at the front (3 percent softer) and stiffer springs at the rear (4 percent firmer), while active and passive elements The dynamics of the bespoke valve compartment have been modified to improve ride comfort, rollability, steering response and cornering balance, the supercar maker says.
The new spring and damper design in the 750S saves even more weight, 2 kg. Lifting the car on the 750S takes only 4 seconds, compared to 10 seconds on the 720S. Coupled with a 6mm wider front track width and new suspension geometry, the 750S gains grip at the front and becomes more nimble as the vehicle’s electro-hydraulic steering assist system features a new power-pump and ratio. faster steering rate.
A track brake upgrade is available for the 750S, which brings 390 mm carbon ceramic brake discs and monolithic brake calipers that McLaren says are 60% stronger and have four times the ability to conduct heat, improving braking performance without increase the corresponding size or weight of the disc. , while reducing brake fading and wear rate. In another hand? The track-spec disc took seven months to produce.
Inside, a new steering gear display has been mounted to move along with the steering column, while the powertrain and handling mode controls are located on either side of the mast, so the driver doesn’t have to. Take your hands off the steering wheel to perform the mode. change.
Included in the 750S is the McLaren Control Launcher, or MCL. Essentially, this saves the driver’s preferences for aero, handling, powertrain and transmission settings, saving these parameters for immediate recall when the driver presses the MCL button.
As for infotainment, the 750S has a new Central Info Display that provides camera feed from the rear view camera as well as a surround view camera setup; Phone pairing is supported by Apple CarPlay.
Interior trim for the 750S comes standard with Alcantara upholstery and can optionally add two interior themes; the first is the Performance interior that combines Alcantara with Nappa leather, while the second, the TechLux interior specification brings Nappa leather throughout the 750S cabin.
Black upholstery is standard with a choice of contrast stitching colors available or a range of alternative color schemes can be specified. Accompanying the upholstery is a dark metal decorative finish, along with customizable ambient lighting. Above the standard exterior paint selection is the Elite color range, in addition to the MSO’s own specifications department that customers can join.
The order book for the McLaren 750S Coupé and Spider is open, and car reports that the new supercar will cost from £250,000 (RM1.39 million) in the UK. According to the magazine, deliveries are expected to begin in September, and construction sites for 2023 are all planned.
