McLaren 750S production ends in 2027 as iconic supercar era comes to a close

McLaren is preparing to close the book on one of the most important supercar platforms in its modern history. The automaker has confirmed that final orders for the McLaren 750S are now being accepted, with production scheduled to end in 2027.

The end of the 750S will also mark the conclusion of a decade-long supercar lineage that began with the arrival of the 720S in 2017. That car introduced a new generation of lightweight, V8-powered McLaren supercars and established a formula that would go on to deliver some of the brand’s most celebrated road and race cars.

The 720S brought together lightweight construction, advanced aerodynamics and McLaren’s twin-turbocharged V8 in a package that quickly became a benchmark in the supercar segment. Its underlying architecture subsequently spawned several award-winning road cars and successful GT racing machines, including cars that competed — and won — on international circuits and in the World Endurance Championship.

The 750S took the formula further

When McLaren introduced the 750S in 2023, it wasn’t simply a cosmetic update to the 720S. Following an extensive analysis of the outgoing car, McLaren made significant changes to the platform, with around 30 percent of the components either new or revised. The result was a sharper and more focused supercar.

With 740 horsepower, the 750S was more powerful than the 720S while also shedding weight. The coupe tipped the scales at just 2,815 pounds dry, helping give the car an even more aggressive performance character.

McLaren also introduced new technology, revised aerodynamics and a more driver-focused cabin, further refining what had already become one of the company’s most successful supercar formulas.

The 750S was offered in both Coupe and Spider configurations, giving buyers the choice between maximum structural focus and open-air performance.

MSO turned the 750S into a blank canvas

Performance was only part of the 750S story. Through McLaren Special Operations (MSO), customers could commission highly personalized examples ranging from subtle individual touches to fully bespoke creations.

The 750S became an especially effective canvas for MSO’s designers and engineers. Among the most memorable projects were the 750S 3-7-59 Theme and Project Viva by MSO, both demonstrating just how far McLaren’s personalization program could take the platform.

For collectors and customers looking for something truly unique, the ability to commission an individually specified 750S added another layer of exclusivity to the car. The platform also spawned some of McLaren’s most extreme derivatives. The 765LT pushed the formula toward even greater track performance, while the recently announced 788HS takes exclusivity to another level.

Only 200 examples of the 788HS are planned, with each car being produced through a highly bespoke MSO commission process tailored to the individual customer.

The end of a McLaren era

With the 750S entering its final stretch, McLaren is effectively bringing a decade of evolution to an end. From the 720S to the 750S, and the limited-production models built around the platform, the architecture has played a major role in defining McLaren’s modern supercar identity.

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

Final orders are now being taken ahead of the 750S leaving production in 2027, making the remaining build slots some of the last opportunities for customers to commission a new McLaren based on this highly successful supercar platform.

For McLaren, the 750S isn’t simply another model reaching the end of its production run. It represents the final chapter of a generation that helped establish the company’s modern supercar formula, lightweight, brutally fast, technologically sophisticated and relentlessly focused on the driver.
