Powered by a mid-mounted, 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 552kW (750 metric hp) and no less than 800Nm, McLaren's new 750S is the British supercar brand's lightest and most powerful series production model ever.

A lighter and even more accelerative development of the outgoing 720S flagship, the 750S is offered in coupe and open-top Spider variants.

This rear-wheel drive rocket ship is 30kg lighter than the car it replaces with further optimisation of the car's carbon-fibre monocoque trimming overall (dry) weight to just 1277kg.

McLaren P1 price: what they're worth now

Able to blast from 0-100km/h in a blistering 2.8 seconds, the 750S continues McLaren's arm wrestle with arch enemy Porsche whose 911 Turbo S is claimed to hit the same mark 0.1 seconds faster.

An interior refresh includes a column-mounted instrument display and a dramatic top centre exit exhaust that is inspired by the P1 hypercar.

A new-generation version of McLaren's 'PCC III' linked-hydraulic suspension includes revised accumulator tuning, lighter springs and dampers as well as revised geometry.

At the same time an optional 'Track Brake' upgrade has been made available using ceramic rotors and monobloc calipers derived from the McLaren Senna.

The McLaren 750S coupe is priced at $585,800, before on-road costs, with the Spider stepping up to $654,600.

As a small boy James often sat on a lounge with three shoes in front of him, a ruler between the cushions, and a circular drinks tray in his hands. He would then play ‘drivings’, happily heading to destinations unknown for hours on end. He’s since owned many cars, raced a few, and driven (literally) thousands of them at all points of the globe. He’s steered around and across Australia multiple times, spent time as an advanced driving instructor, and had the opportunity to experience rare and valuable classics here and overseas. His time in motoring journalism has included stints at national and international titles including Motor, Wheels and TopGear, and when asked to nominate a career highlight, James says interviewing industry legend Gordon Murray, in the paddock at the 1989 Australian Formula One Grand Prix was amazing, especially as Murray waived away a hovering Ayrton Senna to complete the conversation. As Deputy Editor, James manages everything from sub-editing to back-end content, while creating written and video product reviews, as well as the weekly 'Tools in the Shed' podcast.'
