After years of criticism of new models – i.a. for terrible build quality – it is now the turn for McLaren, who can announce that everything is sold out until 2025.
You can order a new McLaren 750S today. But you get very far behind the curve. The order book is so full that it is practically closed.
This is what Nicolas Brown, director of the North American importer, tells us in connection with the car's launch in those parts.
The 750S is not a new car. But it is a heavily updated version of the 720S, which McLaren sent to the streets back in 2017.
Carscoops writes that.

It was just 6 years after McLaren had started producing street cars again. For a period of 11 years – actually up to 2011 – McLaren had otherwise not thrown money at street cars.
There was also only one – or rather, 106 copies – of the Gordon Murray-designed rocket F1. A monster with the seat in the middle, rear-wheel drive and a 6.1-liter center-mounted V12 engine from BMW.
When McLaren started building street cars again, the brand from Woking had to pay attention to fierce criticism. Among other things, the build and assembly quality took a serious hit when the McLaren 540C hit the streets in 2015.
But now something seems to have turned around for the brand, which was founded in 1985 as McLaren Cars, because the order books are abounding.
At least so much that you now have to step on the brakes. The same is true of several other quite expensive brands elsewhere. Read more about it here .
So what are customers paying McLaren for? Yes, as the name suggests, we are dealing with 750 horsepower and 800 Nm.
It's all delivered by a 4-liter V8 engine without hybrid technology but with twin turbos. The seven-speed double clutch does its part to ensure that the car flies from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, and that the engine does not stop pulling the limiter at 332 km/h.
