A truly striking, one-of-kind McLaren 720S makes its public debut this weekend at the illustrious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California. The Bespoke division of McLaren Special Operations crafted the unique McLaren supercar, to the specification of entrepreneur and philanthropist, Michael Fux. McLaren Chief Executive Officer, Mike Flewitt, presented the car to Mr Fux in Monterey, ahead of it being displayed on the ‘Concept Lawn’ on Concours Sunday,

The exterior paint colour immediately identifies the car as being designed to order, a service available to all McLaren customers through McLaren Special Operations. Named ‘Fux Fuchsia’, the colour was created for Mr Fux by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited and subsequently redeveloped by MSO; Mr Fux will retain exclusive rights to its use on any other McLaren vehicle.

“Challenging the art of the possible to meet the most demanding customer requirements and then delivering beyond expectations are integral to the service that McLaren Special Operations offers,” commented Jolyon Nash, McLaren Automotive Executive Director, Global Sales and Marketing. “MSO provides McLaren owners with virtually limitless possibilities to tailor a car exactly to their needs and tastes; unique paint colours and finishes, custom leather and stitching and exotic materials are all available within a bespoke commission, while beyond this there are opportunities all the way up to complete vehicles designed to individual specification.”

The distinctive hue also features as a detail on the lightweight wheels, contrasting with the platinum finish of the alloy. Inside the car, door appliqués, a pinstripe on the steering wheel and even the rear-view mirror are all in body colour, providing highlights of fuchsia in a cabin that is otherwise resplendent from headlining to cup holder – and almost everything in between – in MSO Bespoke white leather with white stitching. White Alcantara® floor mats, again with white stitching, complete the theme.

In addition to the bespoke elements of the vehicle, the exhaust and window surrounds are in Stealth grey finish and carbon fibre components from the MSO Defined range have also been specified. These can be ordered on any McLaren, of any colour.

Michael Fux is renowned as a collector of highly desirable, rare cars and has previously commissioned a McLaren 12C in McLaren Orange, a 12C Spider in bespoke purple and a McLaren P1™ in bespoke green.

New McLaren 720S supercar

  • McLaren Automotive unveils the new 720S as the second-generation Super Series debuts in Melbourne
  • Definined by aerodynamic purity and luxurious driver-focused cabin space, the 720S delivers unparalleled performance and driver visability
  • First new model in the Track22 Business Plan follows strong year-on-year growth in Australia
  • McLaren 720S priced from AUD$489,900 plus on roads

McLaren Automotive offered Australian guests an exclusive look at the latest model of its Super Series range in Melbourne, Australia. Lighter, faster, and even more dynamically capable than its McLaren 650S predecessor and with unparalleled levels of interior space and sophistication, the new McLaren 720S has a breadth and depth of abilities that involve and satisfy a driver in a way that no other car can.

Following its global debut at the Geneva Motor Show, the new McLaren 720S introduces the second-generation Super Series, the product family at the heart of the McLaren brand. Boasting unparalleled performance, the McLaren 720S pushes the limits for the possibilities of a super car, incorporating the widest breadth of dynamic capability of any McLaren, and fusing visual drama, state-of-the-art technologies, and aerodynamic purity to introduce a new generation of McLaren’s design language.

According to George Biggs, Managing Director, McLaren Automotive Asia Pacific: “We are thrilled to officially unveil the highly-anticipated 720S, here in Australia. Australia is a key market for McLaren and the response to the new 720S has been phenomenal and mirrored the response around the globe. True to McLaren’s pioneering spirit, the McLaren 720S is a revolutionary leap forward, a high-performance supercar that is both thrilling to drive and extremely striking to look at. ”

The reveal closely follows a spectacular 142.9 per cent year-on-year growth in the Australian market, demonstrating the strong demand for the British brand. In its short roadcar history McLaren has thrived amongst its competitors, cementing itself as the fastest growing luxury supercar brand in Australia according to VFACTS data (May 2017).

Just one year after the announcement of the Track22 Business Plan, the 720S is the first reveal of fifteen new variants as part of the six-year plan, in which McLaren Automotive is significantly investing in further development of the world’s best drivers’ cars, redefining two-seater sports supercars and the introduction of hybrid technology to at least 50 per cent of new McLaren models by 2022.

As McLaren’s first-ever replacement of a product family, the McLaren 720S renews the Super Series range at the core of the McLaren brand and sets new benchmarks for supercar excellence. Flanked by the Sport Series, 540C, 570S and 570GT, and Ultimate Series, P1 and P1 GTR, the Super Series lineage stretches back to the 12C and consists of the 650S and 675LT models and now the 720S.

The innovation of the 720S provides an insight into the future of McLaren’s world-class supercars, with further expansion in the Sports Series and Ultimate Series families still to be revealed in the coming years.

Deliveries of the McLaren 720S will commence in Australia from Q3 2017, priced from AUD$489,900 plus on roads. For more information, please contact McLaren Melbourne (03 8866 3111), McLaren Sydney (02 8338 3971) or McLaren Gold Coast (07 5509 7110).
