The entry
The McLaren 720S.
Launched in 2017, the 720S introduced McLaren's Monocage II carbon structure and a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8.
Its low-drag teardrop cabin and hidden-intake headlight recesses made it one of the defining supercar shapes of its era.
We review your McLaren 720S on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.
What we look for
What we weigh in a McLaren 720S.
Every McLaren 720S is reviewed on the same four things as any other entry in the Index. Gaps are normal; tell us what you have. Neither a modification nor outstanding finance rules a car out on its own.
- 01
Documented history: service records and provenance for a McLaren 720S, however complete.
- 02
Originality and modifications: what has changed, and why.
- 03
Condition, honestly described, including anything outstanding.
- 04
Paperwork and finance still to sort.
The specialist's notes
What we check on a McLaren 720S.
The 720S is the car that defined McLaren's Super Series from 2017, and its review is mostly about trim, options, the hydraulic suspension and the service record.
- Generation
- Coupe from 2017, Spider from the end of 2018 with a carbon retractable hard top. Both share the Monocage II carbon structure, the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, the seven-speed dual-clutch, hydraulically linked dampers with no anti-roll bars and hydraulic steering.
- Specification
- Three trims: standard, Luxury and Performance. The Track Pack on Performance cars bundled lighter forged wheels, carbon seats, the sports exhaust, telemetry, a carbon rear wing and a harness bar. Beyond it we check for the front lift, the sports exhaust, the electrochromic roof on Spiders, Bowers & Wilkins audio, MSO paint and MSO extended paddles.
- Service
- The hydraulic suspension is the thing to understand: damper leaks are known, accumulators are treated as consumables and a failure disables the nose lift and the Active panel. We ask whether servicing is up to date, check the VIN with McLaren for any open recalls and confirm what warranty, if any, remains.
- History
- The service record from McLaren or a specialist, with the invoices showing who has worked on the car and what was done.
- Condition
- Loose or discoloured exterior trim, cracked glass panels, rattles, electrical gremlins, early-car door handle fit, and a scraped carbon front splitter on cars without the lift. Carbon-ceramic discs are standard and are checked for wear.

Footnotes
º1Do you buy the McLaren 720S?
Yes. The McLaren 720S is on the index of cars we buy directly, filed under Modern Supercars & Hypercar-calibre as entry Nº 075 / 168. Send the registration or the car's details and a specialist reviews it personally.
º2Do you need to see my McLaren 720S before making an offer?
Not for the offer itself. A specialist reviews what you tell us about your McLaren 720S first. Inspection follows once you accept a direct purchase offer, before anything is finalised.
º3How does selling my McLaren 720S to MotorSignet work?
Send the registration or the details of your McLaren 720S. A specialist reviews it personally and, if it fits what we buy, makes a direct purchase offer. If you accept, inspection and collection are arranged. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready.
º4Do you buy both coupe and Spider 720S examples?
Yes. Tell us which body and specification yours is and a specialist reviews it on its own merits.
º5Does a suspension warning on a McLaren 720S stop you making an offer?
No. It is a known characteristic of the hydraulic system and usually a damper or accumulator. Tell us what the car is showing and when, and the review takes it into account rather than ruling the car out.
This page describes a type of car we buy and source directly, not a specific example currently held or for sale.
