2023 McLaren 750S Spider

The 750S Spider takes the 720S template and sharpens it: a lighter carbon tub, 740 bhp from the 3,994 cc twin-turbo V8, and faster electro-hydraulic steering paired with Proactive Chassis Control III. The 0-62 mph sprint takes 2.8 seconds and top speed is 206 mph, yet the open car carries only 49 kg more than the coupé, and the hardtop folds away in under 11 seconds.

This 2023 (73) car has covered 3,592 miles and is UK supplied. It is finished in MSO Amethyst Black Metallic, a £8,200 paint option, with carbon fibre picked out across the front splitter, fenders and louvres, air intakes, mirrors, diffuser and door inserts. Inside is Carbon Black Alcantara with a carbon interior upgrade, titanium paddles and a Bowers & Wilkins audio system. Orange calipers over the carbon ceramic brakes add the one note of contrast.

Options total around £70,000. The most notable are the £7,500 electrochromic glass roof, which lets light into the cabin with the hardtop closed, and the £10,500 Underbody Carbon Fibre Pack. A vehicle lift system helps with steep ramps and speed humps, and the whole car is wrapped in paint protection film.
