2026 McLaren 750S – Overview

 

The 2026 McLaren 750S delivers on every exotic-car expectation: it looks stunning, accelerates with thrilling intensity, and—if you opt for the retractable-roof Spider—lets you enjoy open-air driving. But this supercar is more than just a showpiece. It’s equally at home on the track as it is on long, comfortable drives. Its adaptive suspension handles the aggressive downforce generated by its advanced aerodynamics, yet it can switch into a relaxed mode perfect for cruising—even on cross-country trips.

For a time, the 750S held the title of the fastest rear-wheel-drive car to hit 60 mph in our tests, though the latest Corvette ZR1 has now claimed that honor at a fraction of the price. Still, the McLaren’s sleek styling and refined performance embody the allure of a true supercar, offering both sophistication and exclusivity. It’s a rare machine that earns its place among automotive dreams.

Expert Tip: For those chasing even more extreme performance, McLaren’s $2.1 million W1 supercar awaits at the top of the lineup.

    What’s New for 2026 McLaren 750S?

     

    The 2026 McLaren 750S carries over largely unchanged, with no major updates expected for this year’s lineup.


    Pricing and Which One to Buy

     

    The 2026 McLaren 750S starts at $365,100, with fully loaded models reaching up to $386,700 depending on trim and options.

     

    Trim Starting MSRP (est.)
    Coupe
    $365,100
    Spider
    $386,700

    Choosing a 750S is largely a win-win—there’s no wrong way to spec one. That said, opting for every carbon-fiber and lightweight upgrade makes the coupe 108 pounds lighter than the Spider, according to McLaren. Of course, shedding weight comes at a price, so your wallet will feel a bit lighter too.

     


    Engine, Transmission, and Performance

     

    • Engine: 740-hp twin-turbocharged V-8

    • Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch automatic

    • Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive

     

    Behind the cabin, the 2026 McLaren 750S houses a 740-hp twin-turbo V-8 that channels 590 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission delivers crisp, lightning-fast shifts. After testing the coupe—ranging from high-speed laps at Circuito do Estoril in Portugal to a spirited canyon run in California—we were left thoroughly impressed by its performance.

    Beyond raw power, the 750S features aggressive aerodynamic enhancements that generate more downforce than its predecessor, the 720S. Its adaptive rear wing rises under hard braking for added stability and flattens out under acceleration to minimize drag, optimizing performance through every corner.

    McLaren’s latest hydraulic suspension is both sophisticated and versatile, providing exceptional handling without sacrificing comfort. Even everyday obstacles like speed bumps or steep parking entrances are easily managed, thanks to a quick lift function that raises the nose at the touch of a button.

      0–60-MPH Times

       

      • C/D 60-mph Test: 2.3 seconds

      For perspective, the 750S hits 60 mph just 0.1 second slower than the Corvette ZR1, currently the fastest rear-wheel-drive car we’ve tested.

       


      Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

       

      • EPA City Rating: 15 mpg

      • EPA Highway Rating: 19 mpg

       

      While official EPA figures for the 2026 McLaren 750S aren’t yet available, the 2024 model earned 15 mpg in the city, 19 mpg on the highway, and 17 mpg combined. Expect similar numbers for the 2026 version. For the latest updates, you can check the EPA’s website.


      Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

       

      First Row: The interior of the 2026 McLaren 750S is refreshingly simple amid its high-tech performance. Buyers can choose between leather or faux-suede trims, while McLaren keeps most surfaces dark and allows optional custom stitching for a personalized touch. The steering wheel stays clean and uncluttered, with no buttons interrupting its sleek design.

      Cargo Capacity: Storage is limited, with just 7 cubic feet available between a small front trunk and a package shelf behind the seats—so pack light for overnight trips. The Spider’s retractable roof reduces cargo space even further compared with the coupe.

        Infotainment and Connectivity

         

        • Infotainment: 7.0-inch touchscreen

        • Connectivity: Bluetooth, wired Apple CarPlay

        • Audio System: 4-speaker stereo (standard), 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins (optional)

         

        The 2026 McLaren 750S features a 7.0-inch vertical touchscreen that controls climate, audio, and ambient lighting settings. Apple CarPlay comes standard, but Android Auto isn’t available.

        For audio enthusiasts, an optional 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins system—with an amplifier and McLaren’s Continuum cone speakers—delivers crisp, powerful sound, though you might rarely need it over the roar of the 740-hp twin-turbo V-8.
