Stories of the McLaren 720S’s dying are usually not enormously exaggerated. Actually, they’re fully appropriate. Following a report from Automotive Information, we reached out to McLaren straight, and a consultant confirmed that the supercar is now not in manufacturing. The official assertion is as follows:
“We aren’t taking additional customer-specified construct orders for 720S, however automobiles can be found by means of our retailer community.”
With the discontinuation of the 720S, the remaining automobile within the “Supercar” line, as McLaren calls it, is the just lately launched Artura hybrid. It makes 671 horsepower, a good bit lower than the 710 of the 720S. But it surely appears the Artura won’t be a de facto successor, as there’s one thing else coming.
The McLaren consultant could not say something about that new automobile, however the Automotive Information report went into some element, citing McLaren’s president of the Americas area. He makes it sound just like the follow-up will nonetheless be considerably derived from the outgoing 720S. We’ll be curious if it makes use of the Artura’s hybrid system, however coupled to a extra highly effective gasoline engine. We have really seen 720S testers particularly labeled as hybrid check automobiles, so it appears fairly probably.
