McLaren is gearing up to introduce a “new benchmark supercar” on April 25th at 6:58 PM ET (23:58 BST).
The company isn’t saying much about the model, but they released a short teaser video that gives us a glimpse of the car’s rear end. While there isn’t much to see, the model will have a ventilated fascia as well as slender LED taillights.
McLaren is keeping details under wraps, but we’re expecting the mystery model to be the 720S successor. That remains to be seen, but the teaser is almost a spitting image of the 720S’ rear end.

The 720S went out of production in 2022 and McLaren’s President of the Americas has hinted its replacement will be a “refinement,” rather than a “next-generation, all-new, ground-up vehicle.” He added customers have already been putting deposits down on the car and it’s sold out “deep into 2024.”
More recently, reports have indicated the car will have an upgraded twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 that produces 740 hp (552 kW / 750 PS) instead of 710 hp (530 kW / 720 PS). This helps to explain why the model is expected to adopt the 750S moniker.
Automotive News has previously reported the car will be evolutionary and feature a new front bumper, larger intakes, and a bigger air brake inspired by the one on the 765LT. The model is also expected to adopt an Artura-like digital instrument cluster, which is mounted on top of the steering column.
The car will reportedly arrive in the United States this fall and be offered as a coupe and convertible at launch. Unsurprisingly, the model won’t come cheap as the car is expected to start around $341,550 which would be 10% more than the 720S.
