2017 McLaren 720S

Two owners from new and just 8,075 miles on the odometer: this 2017 McLaren 720S pairs the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and carbon Monocage II tub with a sensible, well-chosen options list. The headline figures are 711 bhp and 568 lb-ft, good for 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds and a 212mph top speed, and the seven-speed SSG gearbox puts it all through the rear wheels.

The car is finished in Blade Silver, a special-order metallic that shifts toward gold in direct sun, and sits on forged twin-spoke wheels with a satin diamond-cut finish, polished calipers behind them. Carbon Exterior Pack 1 adds the bonnet and rear fender air intakes and door mirrors, while a front-end paint protection film covers the nose. Carbon ceramic brakes, the front axle lift system and the Stealth Pack are all fitted, which makes it easier to live with on UK roads as well as faster to stop.

Inside, Carbon Black leather Lux trim with grey stitching is matched to carbon interior components, electric heated memory seats, ambient lighting and a Bowers & Wilkins 12-speaker system. Front and rear parking sensors, a rear camera and soft-close doors add everyday usability. Few 720S examples combine this level of carbon and ceramic specification with such low use.
