Conversely, the McLaren 720S is a road car built for the track. Like the 765LT, the McLaren 720S features a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, delivering 710 horsepower with 568 pound-feet of torque. From a standstill, you hit 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds. Unlike the McLaren 765LT, the 720S feels right at home on the road. The steering rack makes each input feel light and responsive. The responsive steering is coupled with a suspension that is direct, but softer, aiming to absorb road imperfections. Thus, you and your passenger can sit back and relax on the grand tour.

With design, the McLaren 765LT is built around offering you maximum downforce with performance, courtesy of its Longtail philosophy. Take inspiration from the McLaren Longtail Le Mans racer: the 765LT features an active rear wing and a rear diffuser to keep the car planted at the back. At the front, the large front splitter helps funnel air through the car. Further, its titanium exhaust exudes a note that howls in the air. Inside, you are at the center of the 765LT. Its carbon fiber seats with body-hugging bolsters let you know immediately you don't just drive the McLaren 765LT, you become a part of it.

The McLaren 720S is designed to flow with the air courtesy of its teardrop design. The exquisite shape hides air channels that hold the body to the ground, delivering performance at every corner. At the back, the active rear wing blends nearly with the body. Thus, the exterior provides a balanced platform that emphasizes downforce without the drag penalty. Inside, the interior features a wealth of options, including optional leather or Alcantara upholstery. Moreover, the cabin features a panoramic windshield for better visibility.

The McLaren 765LT features Proactive Chassis Control II. On the track, it adjusts the suspension and dampers in real time, giving you the confidence to tackle every corner. The aforementioned titanium exhaust helps to keep the McLaren 765LT as light as possible. To bring all the power to a stop, the McLaren 765LT features fade-resistant track brakes. Inside, the minimalist interior does offer an 8.0-inch touchscreen with an optional Bowers & Wilkins® sound system for your audio enjoyment.

The McLaren 720S rides on a carbon fiber Monocage II chassis, giving that right balance of lightness with durability. The active aerodynamics house the advanced performance in a nice, tidy package. The cabin is outfitted with a 7.0-inch vertical touchscreen that can be fitted with an optional track data recorder for a day at a local Philadelphia race track. You can also add additional adjournments, including a 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins® sound system, and an optional front-end lift system to get the 720S over speed humps around town.
