The vehicle was unveiled in the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show.
The vehicle went on sale on 7 March 2017, with deliveries to customers starting in May 2017.[19]

720S Spider (2018–2023)
The 720S Spider was introduced in December 2018 as the brand's new open-top flagship sports car. Due to the integral roll structure of the monocoque used in the 720S, the Spider did not need additional bracing to compensate for the loss of a fixed roof. The modified monocoque loses the spine running from front to the rear of the car and is dubbed the Monocage II-S. Due to the loss of the roof, the 720S Spider uses traditional dihedral doors. The Spider weighs 100 lb more than its coupé counterpart due to the retractable hardtop system. The Spider marks the debut of new 10-spoke alloy wheels and new exterior colour options.
The roof is a single piece of carbon fibre and takes 11 seconds for operation, 6 seconds quicker than the 650S Spider. The roof can be operated at speeds up to 31 mph. The Spider uses the "flying buttress" as used on all convertible McLaren models. There is an added window on the buttress of the car to increase rear visibility. The retractable window between the roll-over hoops is carried over from the 650S Spider.
The engine and the transmission remain the same as the coupé with the engine generating the same amount of power. The Spider can accelerate to 97 kph from a standstill in 2.9 seconds, to 120 mph in 7.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 212 mph with the top closed. The top speed reduces by 10 mph with the top retracted.[20][21]
720S MSO Apex Collection (2019–2023)
Based on the 720S Coupé, McLaren launched a total of 15 Apex Collection cars in five different designs. The name refers to the apex of a corner, the clipping point of a corner when following the racing line. On the exterior, the presentation vehicles show either white or red paintwork and thus reproduce the typical colors of curbs in the group photos when they are parked next to each other. The press release leaves it open whether other paint colors are also available for the special edition. The inscription ‘Apex Collection’ in front of the rear wheels refers to it. Air intakes, exterior mirrors and the active rear spoiler are made of visible carbon fibre. They also feature ultra-light forged ten-spoke rims and a sports exhaus..
The driver and front passenger sit in the well-formed carbon racing seats. As the otherwise optional Track Pack is standard on the MSO Apex Collection, there is a titanium rollbar behind the seats including belt attachment points for six-point harnesses, which provide much more support on the racetrack. The infotainment system includes the McLaren Track Telemetry system (MTT), which allows drivers to keep track of their lap times. In addition, three cameras record vehicle and driver movements to provide the most focused analysis of drives on closed circuits as possible, helping to improve driver skills. From the MSO accessory range, the Apex Collection cars receive extended carbon shift paddles, an Alcantara steering wheel with color-contrasting 12 o’clock mark, a special accelerator pedal and an MSO key cap.
As soon as the doors are opened, an inscription in the carbon sills refer to one of the five different design themes.
These speeds were reached by professional factory test drivers at the apex of each of the corners mentioned. The Apex Great Britain was built in two left- and right-hand drive cars each, while the Apex Germany, Apex France, Apex Belgium and Apex Italy editions were available in one right- and two left-hand drive cars each. First deliveries were expected for October 2019. In the UK, the price per unit is £288,813.
765LT (2020–2023)
Unveiled on 3 March 2020, the 765LT is a limited (765 units worldwide[23]) version of the 720S and the successor to the 675LT as a Super Series Longtail car, focused on track performance. The M840T engine is now rated at 765 PS at 7,500 rpm and 590 lbft of torque at 5,500 rpm achieved with a higher-capacity fuel pump, forged aluminium pistons and a three-layer head gasket from the Senna.
The top speed is lowered from the 720S's 341 km/h to 330 km/h due to added drag created by the added high downforce parts, although the 765LT weighs 80 kg less than the 720S at 1,339 kg in its lightest configuration and has a quicker 0-100 km/h time of 2.8 seconds. It also can hit 0-200 km/h in 7.0 seconds and complete a quarter-mile dash in 9.9 seconds according to McLaren.[24] A US-spec McLaren 765LT was tested by Road & Track with a quarter-mile time of 11.6 seconds at 131.1 mph, which equates to 0–100 km/h in the high-3 range and 0–200 km/h in the mid-10 range.[25] In addition, it stopped at 92 feet from 60-0 mph. Other testing sources such as DragTimes have recorded quarter mile times as low as 9.33 seconds at 150.87 mph (242.8 km/h) on a drag strip.[26]
