The verdict

What's good

Longtail heritage means aerodynamic balance is optimized specifically for this body — not a wing bolt-on
Only 765 units built globally — allocation demand exceeded supply from day one
Titanium exhaust generates a sound character distinctly sharper than the standard 720S
Track-focused suspension setup requires no modification to achieve sub-7-minute Nurburgring pace

What's not

Cabin stripped of sound deadening makes road noise fatiguing beyond 30 minutes of driving
McLaren service intervals are short and costly — 3,000-mile checks are standard
Post-warranty ownership cost for carbon ceramic brakes rivals the purchase price of a sports car
Visibility over the McLaren's high door sills is limited — parking lot maneuvering is genuinely awkward

The engine

M840T

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

McLaren's M840T 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is all violence and immediacy — flat-plane, lightweight, and mounted low behind the driver for explosive, race-car-like acceleration.

Developed with Ricardo and rooted in McLaren's racing DNA, this flat-plane V8 evolved from the 3.8 that launched the modern McLaren road-car era with the MP4-12C.

McLaren's carbon-tub cars wrap this engine in a Formula 1-derived monocoque.
The flat-plane crank lets it rev hard and keeps the engine light and compact.
