McLaren 750S production ends in 2027: specs, 788HS and successor plans

The final McLaren 750S examples can still be ordered, but production of the supercar with its 4.0-liter V8 will end in 2027. The British manufacturer has confirmed that it is taking the last orders for the model, bringing to a close a decade-long lineage that began with the 720S in 2017.

Autocar, Auto Express and Car and Driver reported the production decision citing McLaren. The exact end date and the number of remaining build slots have not been disclosed.

The family began with the 720S, which introduced a carbon-fiber monocoque and a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. The more extreme 765LT followed, and in 2023 the 750S inherited the same core architecture.

Despite its visual similarity to its predecessor, around 30% of the 750S's components were new or upgraded. The 4.0-liter V8 produces 750 PS (740 bhp) and 800 Nm of torque, while the coupe's minimum dry weight is 1,277 kg. The 0-100 km/h sprint takes 2.8 seconds.

The final evolution of the family is the limited-run 788HS unveiled in July 2026. It combines more aggressive aerodynamics with a 4.0-liter V8 producing 788 PS. Production is limited to 200 cars, split between 100 coupes and 100 Spiders, with each example personalized by McLaren Special Operations.

The end of 750S production comes as McLaren reshapes its model range. The company is preparing new sports cars and has officially confirmed plans to enter the high-performance SUV segment for the first time. The expansion is part of a £500 million investment program.

Reports about McLaren's next mid-engine cars need to be separated. The P34 project is reported to use a V6 hybrid powertrain producing around 810 hp and to sit between the Artura and the outgoing 750S. Auto Express, meanwhile, says the direct successor to the 750S is expected to use a hybrid V8 related to the new powertrain in the W1 hypercar. McLaren has not published full specifications or a launch timetable for that model.

Ending the 750S therefore does not mean McLaren is abandoning internal-combustion engines. The company continues to develop combustion powertrains, increasingly in combination with hybrid systems.

The nearest confirmed milestone is the end of 750S assembly in 2027. While McLaren is still accepting final orders, buyers can still secure a new 750S with the current non-hybrid V8. The company has not officially announced when its direct successor will debut or its full technical specification.
