McLaren is preparing to unveil a “new benchmark supercar” on April 25^th at 18:58 ET (23:58 BST).

The company isn’t saying much about the model, but they did release a short teaser video that gives us a glimpse of the rear of the car. While there isn’t much to see, the model will have a ventilated fascia as well as slim LED taillights.

McLaren is keeping details under wraps, but we expect the mystery model to be the successor to the 720S. That remains to be seen, but the teaser is pretty much an image of the back of the 720S.

The 720S went out of production in 2022, and McLaren’s president of the Americas has hinted that its replacement will be a “refinement,” rather than an “all-new, ground-up, next-generation vehicle.” He added that customers have already been putting down deposits on the car and it is sold out “by 2024”.

More recently, reports have indicated that the car will have an upgraded twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 that produces 740 hp (552 kW / 750 PS) instead of 710 hp (530 kW / 720 PS). This helps explain why the model is expected to adopt the 750S moniker.

Automotive News previously reported that the car will be evolutionary and will feature a new front bumper, larger intakes and a larger airbrake inspired by the 765LT. The model is also expected to adopt an Artura-like digital instrument cluster, which is mounted on top of the steering column.

The car will reportedly arrive in the U.S. this fall and will be offered as a coupe and convertible at launch. Unsurprisingly, the model won’t come cheap, as the car is expected to start around $341,550, which would be 10% more than the 720S.
