McLaren will end 750S production in 2027
McLaren will cease production of the 750S supercar in 2027, ending a ten‑year run on the 720S platform.
McLaren has announced that production of the 750S supercar will cease in 2027, ending a decade of builds on the same carbon-fibre platform. Dealers will need to manage the final stock and prepare for a new model expected in 2028. The change affects the high‑performance segment of the brand.
Key takeaways
- Production of the McLaren 750S stops in 2027.
- The 750S is the latest evolution of the 720S platform introduced in 2017.
- Only 200 units of the limited 788HS were built in 2024.
- A replacement model is expected to be unveiled in 2028.
Production timeline
McLaren will finish assembling the V8‑powered 750S during calendar year 2027. The model entered volume production in 2023 as an enhancement of the 720S.
The company has not released a precise month for the final build, but the end‑of‑year window is expected. Dealers should anticipate the last deliveries before the new model arrives.
Platform history
The 720S debuted in 2017 on a lightweight carbon‑fibre monocoque with a twin‑turbo 4.0‑litre V8. It formed the basis for variants such as the 765LT and later the 750S.
McLaren has refined the architecture over ten years, adding power and reducing weight. The continuous development has kept the platform competitive against rival supercars.
Limited edition 788HS
In July 2024 McLaren Special Operations launched the 788HS, described as the final evolution of the 720S family.
The 788HS produces 777 bhp from an upgraded 4.0‑litre V8 and is limited to 200 examples. It is only the third McLaren to carry the High Sport badge.
Future replacement
McLaren has confirmed that a successor to the 750S will be revealed in 2028. No technical specifications have been disclosed yet.
The gap between the end of 750S production and the launch of the new model may create a short inventory shortage. Dealers should monitor announcements for timing and potential pre‑order opportunities.
What this means for dealers
The final 750S units will become a scarce commodity, allowing dealers to command premium resale values. Accurate pricing tools will be essential to capture the remaining market demand.
With the 788HS limited to 200 cars, most dealers will focus on the broader 750S stock before the 2028 replacement arrives. Preparing trade‑in offers and finance packages now can smooth the transition.
Frequently asked questions
When will the last McLaren 750S be delivered to dealers?
McLaren plans to complete the final 750S builds during 2027. While the exact month has not been publicised, the company expects all units to be finished by the end of the calendar year, giving dealers time to receive the last deliveries before the new model is launched in 2028.
Will the 2028 replacement be built on the same platform?
McLaren has not revealed the architecture of the 2028 successor. The statement that it is a new generation suggests a possible shift away from the current 720S platform, but the company may retain key elements such as the carbon‑fibre chassis. Dealers should await detailed specifications before planning inventory.
