Not doing it for me, at all. I don't think the two tone color scheme suits the car, it would flow a lot better if the top wasn't all glass/black, but apparently it seems like you can't paint the black parts of the roof (and maybe that would look strange with all the glass pieces as well). Together with the two giant black holes for the headlights and the air outlets infront of the front wheels the design becomes very disruptive imo.

That 720S is something else.

As the title of the thread suggests, I think the 720S is a McLaren Success.

But their F1 team....not so much. For those familiar and following the Barcelona testing you'll probably enjoy this...

Amazing performance for the price but those headlights!??? Anyone else think the front end is a bit off?

^It is a cool car but might be a bit extreme in its design... Some like it some don't.

I don't, as of now, but maybe it will grow on me. On the other hand I'm not in for a McLaren anyway so my opinion doesn't count.

I liked the car a lot more in person vs the pictures - I don't think they capture the car that well.

Depends on who takes them and from what angles.

I like the thigh high side 3/4 front view rather than the eyeball high head on shot.

They have not let me take my pics yet.

I like it a lot. I think it looks great from the pics. I can only imagine it looks better in person. While the headlight design is unconventional, I like they're trying something different. It's also functional, so it's not just different for differents sake. Design is subjection though so I understand it not being everyone's cup of tea.

McLaren 720S Gets The MSO Treatment, Costs Over $400,000













No more than 24 hours after McLaren added a new chapter to their Super Series story in Geneva, MSO is announcing this bespoke 'Velocity' theme for the 720S.

As always, McLaren Special Operations (MSO) will allow for an almost limitless scope of personalization options, highlighting a new level of exclusivity that 720S buyers can aspire to

Stunning!

I'm not a carbon fiber guy, but that stuff looks really, really nice and that car looks amazing. I'll bet it's not cheap, but that's probably the best CF I've ever seen.
