McLaren 750S (2023 onwards) | Expert Rating

Summary

The McLaren 720S was mid-engined supercar available as both a coupé and ‘Spider’ convertible. Replacing the 720S that was retired in 2022, the 750S range is Mclaren’s latest ‘Super Series’ line-up.

While McLaren does offer another supercar – the V6-powered Artura plug-in hybrid – the 750S makes use of a traditional 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine, making seemingly the last of a dying breed.

“McLaren’s finest achievement to date was the 720S” says the Top Gear team. “The McLaren 750S tops it.”

Building on the 720S, Jeremy Clarkson of The Sunday Times adds that the 750S offers “snappier acceleration and more grip in the corners”, and that the manufacturer has been successful in “making the car more useable on a day-to-day basis.”

“The performance is simply staggering”, argues Evo’s James Bovingdon, adding the caviat that the “interior doesn’t feel as special as it used to”, explaining that the supercar is missing some of the signature cabin touches of former models.

As of August 2025, the McLaren 750S holds a New Car Expert Rating of D, with a score of 59%. Beyond the car’s overwhelmingly positive review scores, this overall rating is dragged down by very high running costs and high emissions.

Independent crash test and safety ratings from Euro NCAP

No safety rating

As of August 2025, the McLaren 750S has not been assessed by Euro NCAP. Having to buy a few McLaren supercars for testing would probably blow Euro NCAP’s budget for the whole year, so it’s unlikely to ever happen.

Independent economy and emissions ratings from Green NCAP

No eco rating

As of August, the McLaren 750S has not been assessed by Green NCAP. Again, we’re not expecting it to happen anytime soon – so you’ll have to use your imagination to work out how environmentally friendly a four-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine from a supercar might be.

As you might imagine, The McLaren 750S is a very expensive car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

The supercar’s V8 engine is rather thirsty when compared to the car market at large, returning an average of 23mpg. This is one of the poorest fuel consumption stats in our Expert Rating Index, but on par with other pure petrol supercars like the McLaren GTS, Maserati MC20 and Porsche 911 Turbo.

The car’s insurance premiums are also estimated to be in the highest bracket possible – this is without a doubt one of the most expensive cars to insure in the UK.

Warranty rating

New car warranty information for the McLaren 750S

McLaren’s new car warranty is fairly standard, and no different from rival brands in a similar price bracket as the 750S.

The duration is three years, with no limit on mileage.

Warranty on a used McLaren 750S

• If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ McLaren 750S from an official McLaren dealership, you will get a minimum one-year warranty included, with the option to extend the warranty by a further twelve months.
• If you are buying a used McLaren 750S from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
• If you are buying a used McLaren 750S from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.

If you’re looking to buy a used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.

Official DVSA safety recalls that have been issued for the McLaren 750S
