McLaren unveils its latest supercar –

McLaren did not miss the boat on making announcements to coincide with this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, as the British supercar manufacturer has now pulled the curtain on its next supercar.

Known as the McLaren 750S, this will be the next step up from the 720S, and as the car’s announcement states, it is the “lightest and most powerful series-production McLaren ever”. The car would clock 30 kg less than a 720S, bringing it to 1,277 kg thanks to carbon-fiber-encased racing seats and alloy wheels.

As for the car’s performance, we are told that under the hood will be a 4.0-liter V8 engine capable of producing 750 hp and 800 Nm of power, allowing the 750S to go from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 2.8 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 7.2 seconds.

The car also features a few design elements from the McLaren P1, such as a center-outlet exhaust and narrower eye-candy intakes, while an extended front splitter works to improve aerodynamics.

There will be two iterations of the 750S, a regular version and a Spider -edition for those looking for a more airy experience.
