One of McLaren’s tag lines is that it “never stands still”, and we’re seeing that in action as it sunsets the 750S.
Think back a little more than a decade, and McLaren only really had one production car. The MP4-12C (later just ’12C’) marked the brand’s first foray road cars since the legendary F1, and it followed that up with the 650S, then the 720S. Then that saw an update with 2024’s 750S, which came at the same time the automaker branched out into new supercars, grand tourers, a whack of special models like the Senna, Speedtail and the Elva — and of course a new hypercar in the W1. All that is to say, there’s a ton going on at McLaren right now. As everything’s happening, the automaker is getting ready to close the chapter on one of the most important cars that saw it through this new era: The 750S is saying goodbye in 2027.
To be clear, the vehicle is not totally out of commission as far as orders are concerned just yet. In its official statement, McLaren says that “final orders are being taken” for the 750S, bringing the current generation — and one of its most successful supercars — to an end in the coming months.
The news comes a full decade after the 720S initially entered production, which followed up the 650S production run back in 2017. Today, the 750S still packs a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, but with 740 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque on tap. If you’re looking for an even more powerful version, McLaren is capping this generation off with the 200-unit-run 788HS, which adds in more hardcore aerodynamics and 777 horsepower.
In its decade-long run, the 720S and 750S racked up a number of awards from outlets all over the globe, and it’s definitely not going out with a whimper. That said, we don’t know exactly what McLaren is cooking up for its replacement just yet. Word has it there is a new mid-engined coupe in development that will top even the 788HS on power, though it may drop the V8 for a hybridized V6, so it will be a bit more closely related to the Artura, and sit above that model in McLaren’s supercar hierarchy. Hopefully, we’ll learn more about that next year.
