2022 McLaren 720S Preview summaryImage

Few vehicles have the presence of the 2022 McLaren 720S. The raucous, head-turning supercar announces its arrival with a screaming exhaust note, bold lines, and the telltale butterfly doors. The two-seat 720S is available as a hardtop or as a roadster, dubbed the 720 Spider. The 720S arrived for the 2017 model year. For 2022, the supercar is largely unchanged.

The cockpit of the 720S is a modern blend of form and motorsport-inspired function. The interior is wrapped in a combination of leather and Alcantara, and the controls layout has a minimalist philosophy. In Track mode, the digital instrument panel folds down into a thin digital strip so that the driver can focus on the road ahead. The center 7-inch touchscreen is located in the thin, floating center console in a portrait-style layout. It monitors track telemetry and operates the vehicle’s climate controls, as well as the standard four-speaker stereo. Buyers can opt for the Bowers & Wilkins premium stereo. The 720S has Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

A twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine is nestled behind the driver and ahead of the rear wheels, in an ideal mid-engine layout. It produces 710 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The transmission is paddle-operated or can be set to full auto. The 720S is capable of rocketing from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 212 mph, according to McLaren.

The 720S features an advanced adaptive suspension, a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, and a number of toggle adjustments for steering feel, throttle response, transmission mapping, and handling. It also features an active rear wing, which can aid in cornering downforce, high-speed stability, and even braking. If track times are not your thing, the 720S is equipped with a Variable Drift Mode, allowing the back end to get a bit loose.

EPA estimates for the 2022 McLaren 720S are 15 mpg city, 22 highway, and 18 combined. You won’t find any of the driver-assistance features so common in modern passenger cars. You can select options such as front and rear parking sensors and a lifting front-end to clear speed bumps. The 2022 McLaren 720S is backed by a three-year/unlimited mile powertrain warranty.

I am very happy with all my McLaren cars, this one is equal to my other exotic cars Lamborghini, Ferrari, cost more bue McLaren equal. On the track it is equal or better. For some reason media has ranked them lower in value. Only thing about McLaren is foot well for driver is too small. Ferrari newer cars turn signal is hard to see and operate because steering wheel is blocking the signal and difficult to know if it is off, the sound of is one not loud enough to hear. How ever my favorite car driven is the last car I drove. I like them all.Apr 22, 2023
