2024 McLaren 750S
Overview
McLaren is introducing a new mid-engine sportster for the 2024 model year that’s expected to be called the 750S. As the name suggests, it’s been designed and engineered as a mid-point between the more 720S it replaces and the more extreme 765LT. It isn’t an entirely new vehicle and will probably carry over some reworked components from the 720S, including its twin-turbo V-8. The British marque has reportedly upped the powertrain’s output by 30 horsepower, which means it should have a rating of 740 horsepower. While there’s no such thing as a subtle McLaren, we expect the exterior styling to be slightly more aggressive than that of the 720S though not quite as fierce as the 765LT’s. Rumor has it that both coupe and spider versions will be available at launch. The interior of the 750S is expected to be similar to the Artura’s and will likely feature a steering-column-mounted gauge cluster. We’re eager to see everything the 750S has to offer and think its Goldilocks approach will make for an exceptional driving experience.
What’s New for 2024?
The McLaren 750S will be new for the 2024 model year, and we expect deliveries to begin in late 2023.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
750S coupe
$340,000 (est)
750S Spider
$356,000 (est)
While it makes sense to think that McLaren would give the 750S the same trim structure as the 720S, we’re not exactly sure what to expect. However, we do know that both coupe and spider models will be available at launch.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The McLaren 750S will likely utilize a twin-turbocharged V-8 similar to the unit powering the 720S model. Keeping in line with the car’s mid-tier approach, the engine output will be somewhere between the 720S’s 710 horsepower and the 765LT’s 755 horsepower—early reports point to it having 740 horsepower. It will likely stick with a dual-clutch automatic transmission and provide more track prowess than a 720S with better road mannerisms than a 765LT.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
We expect the cabin of the 750S to be similar to what’s inside the new plug-in-hybrid McLaren Artura with maybe some influence from the wild windshield-less Elva. It will likely feature a steering-column-mounted gauge cluster much like the ones in the Artura and Elva. Additionally, switchgear for selectable drive modes and such will now be found in the cluster’s bezel.
