Summary
788HS arrives as McLaren’s first new car in nearly two years, serving as the final sendoff for the 720S line that evolved through the 765LT and 750S.
788hp and a 1,265kg dry weight define the run-out special, which adds 12kg of weight savings, a larger rear wing and revised aero while still topping out at 205mph.
200 cars will be built—100 coupes and 100 Spiders—with prices expected in the £450,000s and each example commissioned through McLaren Special Operations.
£1.5 billion of investment underpins the launch as McLaren prepares a broader revamp, including more hybrids and a four-door SUV-like model aimed at stability and profits.
