The engine

M840T

Twin-Turbo Flat-Plane V8

A flat-plane-crank V8 that spins to 8,500 rpm with a hard, metallic top-end shriek and explosive, lag-light boost, defining the savage character of the 750S and its track-bred siblings.

Designed by McLaren in partnership with Ricardo and hand-assembled at Ricardo's facility in Shoreham-by-Sea, England, its block architecture descends from a 1980s–90s Nissan VRH racing engine whose IP McLaren acquired via Tom Walkinshaw Racing.

Its ancestral VRH35 design powered the Nissan R390 GT1 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1997 and 1998.
The 750S version shares only about 59 percent of its parts with the 720S engine it evolved from, with a lengthened stroke and lighter internals.
The flat-plane crankshaft is what gives it the high-pitched, exotic wail rather than the lazy burble of a cross-plane American V8.
