Now, the 650S replacement allegedly called the McLaren 720S has already been teased by the British car maker. McLaren had earlier released an image of the carbon fiber monocoque that underpins the new Super Series model. It promises to be lighter and much faster than the 650S. It has been designed to be an everyday supercar. So, ingress and egress has been improved by lowering the sill.
The same basic twin-turbo V8 engine will power the new model. However, it has been re-engineered heavily for better performance. In fact, some reports suggest, total capacity could be increased to 4.0-liters allowing the engine to produce around 710 hp. A new “track mode” will also be introduced on the 720S.
