When McLaren 720S reintroduced itself to the automotive world, its MP4-12C was a formidable opponents to the excellent Ferrari 458 Italian. Yet, for all its technical prowess, that car was by no means a looker and was often accused of being built without emotion. You seen, McLaren 720S is different kind of car company. Form follows function and everything the brand does in every car has a purpose. These days, however, they not only build the most incredible supercars in the world, these machines have become even more beautiful. The 720S is a case in point. This car is incredibly fast but looks like a real supercar, something worthy of being on any teenager’s bedroom wall. In addition to its sleek design, the 720S features a full carbon fiber monocoque, along with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces an astronomical 710 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. Capable of 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds, it’s a ferocious machine. But is it worth spending $300,000 on when the Lamborghini Huracan Evo exists? Or is that money better spent on a Ferrari F8 Tribute? Find out.
