McLaren 750S production to end in 2027

McLaren has confirmed that production of the 750S will end in 2027, bringing to a close a decade of a supercar platform that began with the introduction of the 720S.

When the 720S was released in 2017, it marked the beginning of a new generation of lightweight, V8-powered McLaren supercars. It set the standard for a lineage of cars that would win awards on the road and on track in international GT racing and the World Endurance Championship. It was succeeded by the 750S in 2023, which came with more power (739bhp) and was lighter at just 1,277kg dry. New technology was added and the updates saw 30% of components either new or changed.

Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, Chief Commercial Officer, McLaren Automotive said: "The 750S represents everything that defines a McLaren supercar: benchmark performance, thrilling driver engagement, technical innovation, expressive design, and defined personalisation. It will leave behind an extraordinary legacy.”

Several special versions of the 750S have been created over the years, including the 3-7-59 Theme model, which celebrated McLaren’s Triple Crown success as part of the brand’s 60th anniversary celebrations.

There was also the 750S JC96, created to celebrate the British brand’s motorsport exploits in Japan. The idea for the JC96 was inspired by the McLaren F1 GTRs that competed in the 1996 All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship, and only 61 were made available to buy, a nod to the number 61 car shared by John Neilsen and David Brabham that won the Driver’s Championship.

The platform also delivered limited-volume derivatives like the track-focused 765LT and exclusive 788HS, of which only 200 will be created. McLaren called the 788HS ‘the final evolution of its supercar lineage ’, and each is being made unique through the McLaren Special Operations (MSO) team.

Only 200 McLaren 788HS models will be created
