The new Super Series car (the term the company uses to refer to vehicles that sit below its hypercars but above its super sports cars) has an entirely new, more menacing appearance and a much more potent V8 under the layers of carbon fiber.<\/p>\n

It has been opened up to 4- from 3.5 liters and in doing so the car now offers a maximum output of 710bhp (or 720PS, hence its name) alongside a 0-100km\/h time of 2.9 seconds.<\/p>\n

\u201cPower, torque and throttle response are all significantly enhanced compared to the first-generation Super Series, yet with fuel efficiency and emissions also notably improved,\u201d said McLaren Super Series Vehicle Line Director, Haydn Baker of the new engine.<\/p>\n

Top speed is 212mph (341km\/h), and on the way to that figure, it will hit 200km\/h in 7.8 seconds and 300km\/h in 21.4 seconds.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuper Series is the core of the McLaren business and personifies the blend of extreme performance, crafted luxury and unparalleled driver involvement that is the McLaren heartland. This is the first time we have replaced a product family and the new 720S is absolutely true to McLaren\u2019s pioneering spirit in being a revolutionary leap forwards, both for our brand and the supercar segment,\u201d said Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive.<\/p>\n

A new engine and a new look are just the start of the changes. The new carbon fiber chassis is stronger and roomier so that the car offers driver and passenger more comfort on longer journeys. The upward swinging dihedral doors are bigger and also form part of the roof so that getting in and out of the car should be hassle free too as there\u2019s no head height restriction.<\/p>\n

The car is also the first to feature the next generation of McLaren\u2019s amazing digital suspension and chassis system \u2014 Proactive Chassis Control II. It can actively adjust the ride to suit track, race or comfort and even uses acclerometers (like in a smartphone) on each wheel to measure tire contact with the road and adjust damping rate to suit.<\/p>\n

\u201cProactive Chassis Control II generates a significant amount of additional grip, but not at the expense of the balance and feel of the car,\u201d said Mark Vinnels, Executive Director \u2013 Product Development, at McLaren Automotive. \u201cThe depth and breadth of handling precision and ride comfort in combination with the peerless level of driver involvement in the second-generation McLaren Super Series is simply extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside, the cabin\u2019s instrumentation adapts to suit the driver\u2019s mood. A pop-up driver display can show everything from navigation to fuel economy and what\u2019s playing through the speakers, or it can fold down in full track mode to show speed, revs and gear selected.<\/p>\n

This piece of high-tech kit sits well among the hand-machined aluminum switches and highest quality leather trim that dress the cabin and go some way to supporting the company\u2019s claim that the 720S is \u201cThe most complete supercar on sale today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
