title：McLaren 750S Review: Track & Road Performance Tested
content：Key Specs & Performance Upgrades
Imagine wanting a supercar that tears up Estoril’s track and stays comfortable on Portugal’s roads. The McLaren 750S promises this, and our test confirms it’s more than an upgrade—it’s a refinement of the 720S’s best traits.
Power & Engine Tweaks
The 750S boosts the 720S’s output to 740 horsepower using 765 LT pistons and a second fuel pump for extreme conditions. A shorter final drive from the 765 LT makes acceleration feel urgent, even if top speed drops slightly to 206 mph. This trade-off for quicker response is well worth it.
Weight Savings
McLaren’s obsession with lightness shines: the 750S is 30 kg lighter than the 720S (1389 kg wet) and 200 kg lighter than the Ferrari 296 GTB. Standard carbon buckets save 17.5 kg per pair, while optional Senna-derived Super Lightweight seats weigh just 3.5 kg each—incredible for a production car.

On Estoril’s circuit with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tires, the 750S feels alive and adjustable, a step up from the 720S’s locked-down precision.
Handling & Adjustability
The video’s driver notes the rear end is more playful—you can balance it on the throttle to rotate through corners. This doesn’t compromise precision; the car locks onto lines easily, making it intuitive even at high speeds. It’s a rare supercar that lets you explore limits without fear.
Brake & Steering Tweaks
The new brake booster fixes the 720S’s divisive feel, offering progressive, easy-to-modulate stopping power. Steering is quickened off-center, though slightly heavier at slow speeds. Still, the electr hydraulic setup retains McLaren’s signature pure feedback.
content：Road Usability & Comfort
The 750S’s road performance is where it truly stands out—no other supercar matches its balance of speed and daily livability.
Ride Quality
On Portugal’s roads, the ride is a revelation. The video calls it a “magic carpet” that absorbs bumps without feeling soft. Even in Comfort mode, it’s firm enough for sporty driving but gentle enough for all-day trips.
Spider Features
The spider model adds a photochromatic roof (tint or transparent at a touch) and a drop-down rear screen to let in engine sounds. The expansive glass house eliminates claustrophobia, making it one of the most open supercar cabins.
Interior & Ergonomics
Mode dials now sit on the instrument binnacle (like the Artura), making them easier to reach. Electric comfort seats are a no-cost option, but minor cons remain: no Android Auto yet, and occasional rattles.
content：Final Verdict & Toolbox
The 750S isn’t a revolution—it’s a perfecting of the 720S. It retains road usability while adding track playfulness, outshining the Ferrari 296 GTB in weight and adjustability, and beating Lamborghini’s Huracan in steering feedback.
Actionable Checklist
- Test both coupe and spider to experience roof features.
- Try comfort and track seats to find your fit.
