Overall sentiment
The sentiment among owners and enthusiasts is overwhelmingly positive, with the 750S being described as a near-perfect evolution of its predecessor. It is widely praised for taking the strengths of the 720S and enhancing them with improvements from the 765LT, resulting in a lighter, more powerful, and edgier car while maintaining excellent comfort and daily drivability. The consensus is that it represents the pinnacle of McLaren's Super Series, offering a thrilling, driver-focused experience with exceptional performance, hydraulic steering, and a fantastic ride from its suspension. Criticisms are minor and largely centered on broader brand perceptions rather than specific faults with the 750S itself.
Positioning vs competitors
Positioned as a highly capable, driver-focused supercar that offers extreme performance with surprising daily usability. It is frequently compared favorably to the Ferrari 296 GTB, with some feedback noting the Ferrari may be sharper and more precise, while the 750S offers a more raw, "thuggish," and authentic driving feel. It is consistently seen as a superior value proposition to competitors like the SF90 and Revuelto, being significantly cheaper ($200,000-$300,000 less) while being very close in performance. Against the Porsche 911 Turbo S and GT models, the 750S is viewed as a more exotic, mid-engine alternative with a purer supercar experience, though Porsches are acknowledged for greater daily practicality and dealer network strength. The Corvette Z06 and ZR1 are mentioned as offering comparable or superior tangible performance metrics at a fraction of the cost, though the McLaren retains an advantage in brand prestige, exotic feel, and hydraulic steering/ride quality.
Recommended configurations
Insufficient owner data available. No specific configuration recommendations (e.g., options, packages) are detailed in the community feedback.
General recommendations
Highly recommended for driving enthusiasts seeking a thrilling, analog-feeling supercar that is also surprisingly comfortable for road use. It is considered a wise choice for those moving from a 720S, as the improvements are meaningful. Prospective buyers are advised to consider the significantly lower prices of low-mileage 720S models, which offer a similar experience at roughly half the cost of a new 750S. An extended warranty is suggested by some due to general McLaren reliability concerns, though the 750S itself is noted as being more reliable than earlier models. It is recommended to verify the infotainment system's functionality, as Apple CarPlay was a recent addition. The car is not recommended as a primary daily driver in climates with frequent rain or poor roads due to its low ground clearance and summer tire limitations.
Remarks
The 750S is consistently described not as a wholly new car, but as a highly refined facelift of the 720S, incorporating the best elements of the 765LT. This is viewed positively as a final, optimized iteration of a brilliant ICE platform. There is a strong and repeated narrative that McLaren has significantly improved build quality and reliability with the 750S compared to earlier models like the 720S and 12C, with it being called "the most reliable McLaren" by some. The high production volume of the 720S has suppressed its used values, creating a compelling alternative that potential 750S buyers are advised to consider.
