Late in 2018, McLaren unveiled the convertible version of their 720S<\/a> \u2013 monikered \u201cSpider<\/a>.\u201d For the better and most part, the Spider retains the same DNA as the Coupe, utilizing a modified version of its carbon fibre tub chassis \u2013 called Monocage II-S \u2013 which accommodates the new folding roof and its mechanism.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new roof and tonneau add an extra 49 kg to the chassis, with the Spider weighing in at a\u00a0dry weight of 1,332 kg.\u00a0McLaren proclaims that this makes it the \u201clightest car in its competitive set\u201d, with its intended rival \u2013 the Ferrari 488 Spider \u2013 coming in at 1,420 kg dry. The fully-electric mechanism is no slouch either, as it is able to\u00a0raise or lower the roof in just 11 seconds with the car travelling up to 31 mph.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Spider shares the same 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine as its fixed-roof stablemate, which produces\u00a0710-horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque delivered via a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. McLaren claims that performance figures for the Spider are virtually identical to that of the Coupe (when the roof is up), citing\u00a00-62 mph in 2.9s, 0-124 mph in 7.9s (just a tenth slower),\u00a0and a top speed of 212 mph\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks to its brilliant aerodynamic design, the Spider still achieves a remarkable\u00a0top speed of 202 mph with the top folded. McLaren does a lot things better than anyone else, and throwing out the notion that convertible variants are just bogged down versions of their coupe counterparts, is no exception.<\/p>\n
