McLaren has unveiled the new 788HS, the final and most extreme evolution of its award-winning supercar series that began with the 720S.
The new High Sport model brings the 720S, 765LT and 750S lineage to a close with more power, improved aerodynamics and a sharper focus on driver engagement.

Producing 788PS from its 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8, the 788HS delivers a class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 623PS per tonne thanks to its 1,265kg dry weight.
McLaren says the new aerodynamic package generates 10 per cent more downforce than the 765LT, with a redesigned S-Duct bonnet, raised active rear spoiler and Formula 1-inspired rear diffuser.
Performance figures include 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds, 0-200km/h in 7.0 seconds and a top speed of 330km/h (205mph).
