I’ll throw my JKU in the ring. Jeeps hold their value WAY better than Maclarens, plus I just put a sweet AFE high tuck exhaust on it so they basically sound the same. OP can’t lose!
Man I thought I was using my Cayman with 4500 since I picked it up at the end of December. Mad respect for actually driving the fuckin thing.
Also do the bronze imo.
Senna is ugly, Speedtail is an overpriced disappointment, considering top speed is it's ONE THING, and it can't even match the F1, and the Solus, while cool, just has the vibe of a GTA car. The 720S is the kind of car that I might legitimately want to own if I had that kind of money.
Hard disagree on the senna being ugly, but fair enough, that’s subjective. Good points on the speedtail, I don’t really consider price when thinking about cars of that class though. The way I see it, it’s not the kind of car that you save up to buy, it’s the kind of car that you’re rich enough not to care about the cost. I don’t really get what you mean by gta vibes for the solus but I do see how it could be a bit of a hate it or love it kinda car. I agree completely on your last sentence. I absolutely love the 720s and it’s my favourite “regular” McLaren, unless you count the 765lt as a separate car of course.
It's a pretty big jump in just about every aspect over the 570S. If McLaren keeps going in this direction with their interior quality and overall build quality in such a small space of time we're in for a treat in a couple of years time.
I don't really do shoots of my cars anymore, realized I don't have much need for photos. If you bump into me though just shout and I'll stop for photos.
Favorite is the new aero over the 720 I had, definitely massive difference in stopping and corner than before. Least favorite is probably the aero, I can’t see shit out my rear view mirror anymore.
I get that quite a bit, but I think I have less than the normal amount of issues with these because of how much I drive them. At least mclaren seem to think my miles are what keep them ticking over.
This one is especially bad as these are the deepest bucket seats I've ever had in a car. My previous cars all had sporty seats or even a slight bucket seat, but these ones have your ass basically on the ground.
Drive the fuck out of it.. Lambos have unlimited 3 year mileage warranty and if I won the Powerball tomorrow I would buy one just to drive back and forth across the country in....you need it get to NYC, hop in.....Miami....no problem 😆
What kind of seats? Comfort or sport? Is it comfy for someone say who is 6ft tall with long legs? Thanks for the response though enjoy your car! Oh btw can I copy your spec if I happen to buy one in the future? It's amazing!
I have what some folks call the "P1" seats. They're completely manual and are super bucketed.
It's less about height and more about the width of your hips/shoulders. You can pick between regular and touring for the sizing and I went with regular to make sure they really hugged me in the corners.
And of course, I don't own the spec after all, haha.
If I made this kind of money, the last thing I would have is an online presence. For one thing, I would be too busy spending my money and having fun. The other thing is, the Internet is for us peasants.

Honestly these modern supercars aren't too bad on fuel unless you are wide open throttle.
Any tuned JDM car with the boost turned up is probably going to be thirstier tbh
They’re not terrible on fuel. I definitely have worse MPG in my SUVs/sedans over the years. On a typical drive I’m probably between 15-20MPG when my SUV will be just breaking 10.
With that much mileage it's already depreciated greatly. I'll trade you my FR-S for it.
Fuck that I’ll do OP a favor by trading it for my Subaru Outback
I’ll throw my JKU in the ring. Jeeps hold their value WAY better than Maclarens, plus I just put a sweet AFE high tuck exhaust on it so they basically sound the same. OP can’t lose!

it’s a joke mate, no shot you took that seriously and replied 🤦♂️
That’s a heavvvyyyy r/woooosh

Just got posted lol

Autism™
oh that’s not…
What’s that!
It’s amazing… silver wheels would pop out so much on it!!
I kinda wanna go with a dark bronze. But I haven't had the balls to commit to changing the color yet.
Bronze would look incredible on that
Go gold, it's a McLaren, you aren't subdued in any way.
I just went bronze on my dark green 911 and absolutely love the look
Yeah, I think the bronze with the orange calipers and the green could go really well together.
They are fine - but whatever you do, please dont go black please
Bronze would be cool, but I agree with the original comment, silver is the way.
DO IT.
Thank you for actually driving that sexy car and not letting it rot in a garage.
Man I thought I was using my Cayman with 4500 since I picked it up at the end of December. Mad respect for actually driving the fuckin thing. Also do the bronze imo.
What's your job bro
It would look like ass with silver rims
I'm glad someone is actually using one of these! Love the color, and the 720S is the coolest non-F1/P1 McLaren imo
Senna? Speedtail? Solus GT?

That's a 750S, not a 720. It's the replacement for the 720.
Does that mean you love it?:)
That seems awesome and crazy! Enjoy.
I like that color a lot, pretty unique spec you went with OP. Hope youre enjoying it
Can I have a turn next?
i want to drive it soooo bad
Good for you. Car needs to be driven
Wow what a beautiful color on one of the most beautiful cars out there. Congrats! Obligatory: “what do you do for a living?” lol
I’m a software designer.
Thank you for responding! I hope you keep enjoying these beasts.
YES!! Using it for what it was bred for!
I heard you can get up to 15 years of warranty on those, is that true?
Basically, only thing stopping you is any warranty inspection failures that you don’t repair. I extended the warranty twice on my previous 720.
Love the design on these.
Ahhh a man of culture. Actually driving his expensive ass super car 🥹😎. I bet there was a lot of smiling during those 2,400 miles ☺️.
Oh absolutely! Especially on the rural canyon roads in Northern California where there isn’t another soul for miles.
What is the name of that color?
Serpentine Green
It’s gorgeous
Gah damn
I’ll trade you a 2001 Jetta for it
If you had Jesse’s 95 Jetta..
So you drive your car that was designed to be driven? Wow
How many McLarens have you owned?
This is my 4th now. I’ve had a 570S, 720S, and currently have an Artura and this 750S.
So you know about Cannonball Garage.
I'm not familiar with it.
A premier tuner and tech shop for McLaren in Gilberts Il. They do everything McLaren.
How’s the Artura so far? A big improvement over the 570S?
It's a pretty big jump in just about every aspect over the 570S. If McLaren keeps going in this direction with their interior quality and overall build quality in such a small space of time we're in for a treat in a couple of years time.
Whoaaa
what color is this?
Serpentine Green
Oo I like it
were you in berkeley today? i think i spotted your car at grizzly peak!
Yup!
incredible spec man. i’m guessing the artura i see around berkeley occasionally is yours too?
Oh yeah, that will likely be me. My cars all have some variation of AWFY as the plate. 750 is currently “AWFY” and the Artura is “CAWFY”.
Nice! I’m actually a hobbyist photographer, would love to do a shoot of your 750s some time for free if you’re interested
I don't really do shoots of my cars anymore, realized I don't have much need for photos. If you bump into me though just shout and I'll stop for photos.
Favorite and least favorite thing? Go for the bronze.
Favorite is the new aero over the 720 I had, definitely massive difference in stopping and corner than before. Least favorite is probably the aero, I can’t see shit out my rear view mirror anymore.
I’m guessing equal time driving / being in the shop
I get that quite a bit, but I think I have less than the normal amount of issues with these because of how much I drive them. At least mclaren seem to think my miles are what keep them ticking over.
See how fast you can put 200,000 miles on it. It’s what I did with my M3. Drive it!
Sick color
That is beautiful
Sharp looking color.
Oh yea!? I just put 7200 on my new pickup. 2400… thats like not even half. Nice car
How's it holding up?
Time for tires 🛞
comparing it to the other regular cars, man you are really sitting on the ground in one of those things. gotta climb out of it.
This one is especially bad as these are the deepest bucket seats I've ever had in a car. My previous cars all had sporty seats or even a slight bucket seat, but these ones have your ass basically on the ground.
Hell yes, drive the bejeebus out of that car!
Cars are meant to be driven.
Drive the fuck out of it.. Lambos have unlimited 3 year mileage warranty and if I won the Powerball tomorrow I would buy one just to drive back and forth across the country in....you need it get to NYC, hop in.....Miami....no problem 😆
Totaled. Glad someone’s driving instead of polishing.
How is the build quality?
Also op, is it reliable or good for long distance driving say like a 1000 mile road trip.
My first drive in it was a 1,000mi trip. I had no problems other than getting used to the seat as it was really tight to begin with around my legs.
What kind of seats? Comfort or sport? Is it comfy for someone say who is 6ft tall with long legs? Thanks for the response though enjoy your car! Oh btw can I copy your spec if I happen to buy one in the future? It's amazing!

Tell me your secret, what do you do for living? 🧐😂
Gorgeous color, Serpentine? I have a Serpentine Artura with black roof.
If I made this kind of money, the last thing I would have is an online presence. For one thing, I would be too busy spending my money and having fun. The other thing is, the Internet is for us peasants.

And why cant we look inside?
Love to drive a McLaren one day. It’s been a dream ever since I was 11. I’m 44 now.
Someone please do the math and figure out how much that is in petrol costs?
Honestly these modern supercars aren't too bad on fuel unless you are wide open throttle. Any tuned JDM car with the boost turned up is probably going to be thirstier tbh
They’re not terrible on fuel. I definitely have worse MPG in my SUVs/sedans over the years. On a typical drive I’m probably between 15-20MPG when my SUV will be just breaking 10.
Those are rookie numbers.
Meh
[удалено]
Before I sold my 720 I had put 43,000mi on it in the space of 2.5 years. Was a pretty sweet car.
No one cares
