The 720S comes with a drift mode to help you plan your drifts!

Safety – The 720S gets a carbon-fibre tub which inherently makes it very safe. You get multiple airbags and an advanced traction-control system to ensure you don’t get carried away with all that power. The high-speed stability is mighty impressive and this car does inspire a lot of confidence when being driven hard. Safety is truly well taken care of.

The McLaren 720 is the most raw and exotic looking supercar

Verdict – The McLaren 720S is how a supercar should be. It is ferociously fast, has incredible dynamics, looks like it is from a different planet and is overflowing with tech. Despite being a serious performance machine, the 720S is impressively refined and civilised. The ride quality is astonishingly good and it helps in making this an every-day supercar. It is this sheer breadth of abilities coupled with unreal attention to detail and thirst for perfection is what makes the 720S one of the greatest supercars of our times. Of course, there is a hefty asking price but the biggest put-off is no imminent plans to launch it in India. It is a shame, really and we sincerely pray McLaren brings their line-up to India sooner than later.
