"“A relentless pursuit of performance where form follows function.” These are words McLaren uses to describe their process for building their bespoke supercars. Starting on the inside of the 720 S, McLaren utilizes a one-piece carbon fiber tub that now includes the roof to create profound chassis rigidity and strength. The fully active suspension is built to translate every turn into an amazing experience that can make any driver feel like a hero. Perhaps most notable is the thunderous and powerful 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. Just dip your foot into that throttle and it will become very evident why nothing else feels like a McLaren. It’s no surprise that the 720 S takes its design cues from the great white shark; like the ocean’s top predator, this supercar is built to hunt apexes on every road it encounters."—Official description[1]
The 2018 McLaren 720S Coupé - abbreviated as "McLaren 720S" or "McL. 720 '18"[2] - is a rear-wheel drive supercar by McLaren.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 7 as part of the Top Gear Car Pack and all subsequent main series titles, as well as Forza Street.
It was unlockable in Forza Street via the McLaren Takeover Event, where it was featured as the fourth weekly focus car.
Synopsis[]
The 720S is the second generation of McLaren's Super Series, replacing the 650S Coupé for model year 2018.
Although similar in size and equipped with a higher capacity engine, it weighs 198 lb (90 kg) less than its predecessor due to various lightened components and a redesigned carbon fiber monocoque that extends to the roof and buttresses.
Its four liter (3,994 cc) twin-turbocharged V8 is a redesign of the 3.8 liter variant of previous McLaren models.[3] It produces 720 PS, 710 hp (529 kW), at 7000 rpm, and 568 ft·lb (770 N·m) of torque at 5500 rpm.
