At a short ceremony, the firm celebrated the completion of ‘Job#1’, which has been finished in glacier white and is ready to leave the McLaren Production Centre in Woking, Surrey, England, having been hand-assembled by McLaren’s craftspeople.
The move to full production marks the beginning of a new chapter in the McLaren Automotive story, as the second generation of the Super Series – codenamed P14 – replaces the first generation, ‘P11’ model family.
Says Mike Flewitt, chief executive officer of McLaren Automotive: “The new McLaren 720S entering volume production is a momentous occasion for McLaren Automotive, marking the first time since the company was formed in 2010 that we have replaced a model family with an all-new generation.”
The 720S is the first of 15 new McLaren models confirmed for introduction by the end of 2022 under the company’s Track22 business plan. Powered by a 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbocharged engine, it produces 720 horsepower.
Adds Flewitt: “Customer interest in the new McLaren 720S following its unveiling in March at the Geneva International Motor Show has significantly exceeded our expectations and we are bidding farewell to the first-generation Super Series in the knowledge that we have a successor that raises limits in the supercar segment to new heights.”
The 720S is available to order now from McLaren retailers from £208,600 (UK). It can be explored in full and configured at a dedicated online microsite: https://720s.mclaren.com/
