Complaint volume by model year. Raw NHTSA totals, not adjusted for sales volume or time on the road, so older and higher-selling years accumulate more. Every year links to its full breakdown.
Highest: 2025 (1 complaints). Lowest: 2023 (1).
Mixed to deeply polarized sentiment. The vehicle is praised by some owners as a clinical, high-performance driver's car with exceptional handling, braking, and linear power delivery from its hybrid V6 powertrain.
Cars frequently sidelined for weeks due to software faults, hybrid system errors, and mechanical issues; early production (2023-2024) particularly problematic.
V6 produces a constant, droning noise at highway cruising speeds (e.g., 70 mph / 113 km/h), lacks character and musicality compared to McLaren V8s or rival V10s.
Extensive use of hard, low-quality plastics; infotainment system described as outdated with a poorly positioned screen and comically large bezels; overall design feels clumsy and under-designed.
Suspension is criticized for being too harsh on high-speed compression and too soft on low-speed compression, leading to a jarring and unsettled feel on public roads; less comfortable than a 720S.
Recall for high-pressure fuel pipe nuts that may loosen and cause a fuel leak, increasing fire risk (NHTSA Campaign 22V908000 affecting 164 vehicles).
