McLaren 720 S Spider: The Most Fun You Can Have Top Down

McLaren 720 S Spider: The Most Fun You Can Have Top Down

They tell us that the pleasure of driving a convertible reflects the maximum expression of freedom, but tinkering with the overflowing power of the McLaren 720 S suggests that the new model of the Super Series will be anything but an experience of inner peace. The 720 S is crazy fast and sharp like a blade and now that McLaren has introduced the Spider, we can rape our body en plein air. Not bad as a program, right? The 720 S Spider is not the kind little sister, it is equally rigid thanks to the monocoque carbon fiber Monocage II-S chassis and compared to the coupe only adds 81kg on the scale.

If the exceptional visibility around the cockpit not only remains unchanged, but further improves, it should be noted that the McLaren engineers have redesigned a portion of the windscreen and have managed to insert a retractable glass panel that act in a few seconds and thanks to a dedicated button remains transparent or tinted, as you wish. No sacrifice on the performance side, with the glorious 720hp twin-turbo 4-liter V8 kicking you through the 7 gears of the double clutch transmission and with traction where it has to be on a dream car: at the back. The 2.8 seconds needed for blasting from 0 to 100 kph are the confirmation that with just 0.1 seconds extra compared to the coupe we are always in front of a supercar able to shatter the pride of much more expensive hypercars. New colors arrive and the obvious possibility of equipping the Spider with dedicated winter tires, just to make the most out of the € 287,000 that separate you from the most fun you can have top down.
