# McLaren 750S Spider

URL: https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/cars/mclaren-750s-spider

Its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 makes 740bhp in a carbon-tubbed car weighing under 1,400kg dry, so 62mph arrives in 2.8 seconds. The retractable hard top folds away in 11 seconds at up to 31mph. We arrange this one through a vetted partner, so the rate is a guide until the car is confirmed. Delivered anywhere in mainland Britain.

## What is the McLaren 750S Spider like to drive?

Light, which is the whole point. McLaren builds the car around a carbon tub, so it carries far less mass than its rivals and changes direction with almost no delay. The steering is hydraulically assisted rather than electric, so you feel the road surface through the wheel in a way almost nothing else new still offers. The V8 is savage above 4,000rpm and the gearbox shifts hard enough to feel in your back.

## How much does it cost to hire a McLaren 750S?

Each day carries 100 miles, with extra miles at 295p. The refundable deposit is £7,500 and the insurance excess is £7,500. Nothing is taken online. We confirm the exact total, delivery included, in writing before you agree to anything.

## Does the folding roof change how the 750S drives?

Barely. Because the strength is in the carbon monocoque rather than the roof, McLaren does not need to add bracing to the Spider, so it weighs only about 49kg more than the coupe and the performance figures are effectively identical. The roof operates in 11 seconds at up to 31mph, and the rear window lowers separately if you want the engine noise with the roof up.

## Is the 750S Spider practical for a weekend away?

For two people travelling light, yes. There is a 150-litre boot under the nose that swallows a soft bag and a laptop case, plus a shelf behind the seats. Hard suitcases will not fit. The ride is firmer than a grand tourer, but Proactive Chassis Control takes the edge off a motorway, so a few hundred miles in a day is comfortable enough.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you drive the McLaren 750S Spider with the roof down in winter?

Yes. The roof opens and closes on the move at up to 31mph, so you are not committed at the start of a journey, and the heated seats and climate control cope with a cold clear day. The rear window can also be raised with the roof down to cut buffeting.

### What deposit and excess apply to the McLaren?

A £7,500 refundable deposit, taken on a credit card in the driver's name at handover and released after the car is returned and checked, with a £7,500 insurance excess. The driver must be 30 or over, with five years' licence and no more than six points.

### Is the 750S faster than the 720S it replaced?

Marginally, and it feels sharper rather than dramatically quicker. The 750S makes 740bhp against the 720S's 710bhp, sheds around 30kg and runs shorter final drive gearing, so it responds faster in the mid-range even though the headline top speed is similar.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*
