The McLaren 750S, the successor to the 720S, may not look drastically different, but don't let that fool you. This car is full of small changes that have had a big impact. While some may question whether McLaren played it safe with this model, I argue that they've done a fine job. After all, if Aston Martin and Porsche can get away with evolutionary design, why not McLaren?

But it's not just about looks. The mechanical improvements in the 750S are nothing to scoff at. With a 30% improvement in the mechanicals and a 15% shorter final drive, this car is a beast on the road. It accelerates like a rocket, with a 0-62 mph time of 2.8 seconds and a 0-124 mph time of 7.2 seconds. That's faster than its already impressive predecessor, the 720S. And let's not forget the weight-saving measures, from the lightweight seats to the forged wheels, that make this car even more nimble.

On the track, the 750S shines. It offers a balance of stability and playfulness that is hard to find in a car of this caliber. The improved braking performance, thanks to the Senna-derived brake package, is exceptional. The car feels confident and responsive, allowing you to push it to its limits with ease. And let's not forget the hydraulic power-assisted steering, a rarity in today's world of electric power steering. The steering feel is sublime, providing a level of connection and feedback that is simply delightful.

But it's not just about performance. The 750S is still a comfortable car, with a ride that can handle bumps and imperfections with ease. The seating position is spot-on, providing a perfect view of the road ahead. And with the addition of Apple CarPlay and other small improvements, the car is more user-friendly than ever.

In conclusion, the McLaren 750S may not be a revolutionary design, but it doesn't need to be. It's a refined and improved version of its predecessor, offering impressive performance, comfort, and usability. So, don't let the subtle differences fool you. The 750S is a car that deserves your attention.
