McLaren is taking final orders for the 750S before the supercar and its underlying platform are discontinued next year, marking the end of a decade-long era that began with the 720S for the 2017 model year.
McLaren 750S Reaches the End of the Line
The 750S became a key part of McLaren’s supercar lineup after building on the mid-engined platform introduced with the 720S. About 30 percent of the 750S’s parts are new compared with its predecessor.
The changes helped raise output to 740 horsepower, up from 710 horsepower in the 720S, while also cutting around 60 pounds from the McLaren MonoCage carbon fiber vehicle structure.
Like the 720S, the 750S was offered as a Spider with an open roof. The model uses a twin-turbocharged, flat-plane-crank 4.0-liter V8.
The 750S was also named the best performance car for 2025, underscoring its position within McLaren’s lineup.
The 788HS Was the Final Evolution
McLaren introduced the hardcore 788HS earlier this year, based on the 750S. The model follows the 720S-based 765LT and produces 777 horsepower.
The 788HS also generates more downforce than any other variant of the platform produced to date. McLaren had already confirmed that the “High Sport” derivative would be the final evolution of its signature mid-engined supercar family.
With the 788HS established as the final development of the platform, the end of the 750S era was already approaching.
What Could Come Next for McLaren
McLaren is expected to transition toward new products as the 750S and its platform reach the end of production. According to attendees at a retailer meeting last month, the company allegedly announced plans for a front-engined GT car and a crossover SUV.
The reported future models would seemingly target the Aston Martin Vantage and DBX.
New Mid-Engined Supercar Reportedly in Development
McLaren is also working on another mid-engined supercar. The car reportedly features an overall silhouette and tempered glass engine cover inspired by the legendary McLaren F1.
Codenamed P34, the new model is likely to serve as a direct successor to the 750S and related cars. It is expected to use a mild-hybrid, turbocharged V6 engine mounted amidship.
The P34 is rumored to produce 810 horsepower, representing a step up from the outgoing supercars. The new model will also retain the lightweight, carbon-intensive construction associated with previous McLaren models.
For the 750S, McLaren’s decision to take final orders ahead of next year’s discontinuation closes a decade-long chapter that began with the 720S and ends with the V8-powered supercar family.
