McLaren 750S with 740bhp V8 Engine Launched in India at Rs 5.91 Crore

McLaren India has officially launched the 750S supercar as its latest product in the country. The model comes with a price tag of Rs 5.91 crore (ex-showroom). For the uninitiated, the McLaren 750S is the true successor to the 720S and was launched in the international markets in April last year. It will be available in both coupe and hardtop convertible body styles. The 750S features minor cosmetic changes, which include a revamped lower front bumper and longer front splitter. There are also wider air inlets at the rear tyre arches, sharper LED headlamps, and a longer and redesigned back deck. Additionally, the active rear wing is longer and higher. In terms of features, the car gets wireless charging, a fully digital instrument cluster, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, a Bowers and Wilkins-sourced Sound system, a 360-degree camera, and a vertically stacked 8-inch infotainment unit. Moreover, the dashboard and the cabin are fully draped in Nappa leather.

McLaren 750S: Chassis

The 7505's chassis is about 30 per cent new and incorporates substantial mechanical improvements, including triple-layer head gaskets, lighter pistons, higher-pressure turbochargers, new twin-fuel pumps, and a standard sports exhaust. The supercar also gets a 6mm wider front track, a quicker steering rack, 3 per cent lighter front springs, and 4 per cent stiffer rear springs. Furthermore, it also gets redesigned McLaren Proactive Chassis Control technology and a new brake booster, which provides an improved pedal feel.

McLaren 750S: Engine and Performance

The 750S is powered by the same 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged M480T V8 engine, which has been tweaked for enhanced power output and decreased weight. It now includes new dual fuel pumps, lighter pistons from the 765LT, higher-pressure turbochargers, and more. Consequently, the new 750S produces an incredible 740bhp of maximum power and 800Nm of peak torque. With this, it packs even greater power than the famed P1. Interestingly, the seven-speed sequential automatic transmission has been tuned by McLaren with shorter final drive ratios.

The 750S can accelerate from a standstill to 100km/h in just 2.8 seconds and can sprint from 0 to 200km/h in 7.3 seconds. Not to mention, the 750S needs less than 20 seconds to touch the 300km/h mark from a standstill and has a top speed of 331km/h. The 750S also includes the McLaren Control Launcher system, which allows the driver to customise the handling, powertrain, aerodynamics, and transmission to suit their preference. An MCL button can be used to quickly reset these settings.
