🚩 McLaren 788HS: The Final Flourish
📍 ‘When an icon takes its final bow, it rarely leaves quietly.’
McLaren’s new 788HS is more than another limited-edition supercar.
It’s the ultimate evolution of the 720S and 750S bloodline—lighter, sharper and built in tiny numbers.
Sometimes the last chapter proves to be the best one.
♔ The Last Great V8 McLaren?
▪️There is something rather appealing about manufacturers saving their best until last.
▪️The new McLaren 788HS is exactly that. Limited to just 200 cars worldwide, it represents the ultimate expression of McLaren’s acclaimed 700-Series before an all-new generation arrives.
▪️Beneath its carbon-fibre body sits a reworked 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing around 777 horsepower, while extensive weight-saving and revised aerodynamics sharpen every response.
▪️Yet the numbers only tell half the story.
▪️The 788HS isn’t chasing lap records for the sake of headlines.
▪️It’s celebrating an era when McLaren perfected the art of building astonishingly capable, wonderfully usable supercars.
▪️The familiar hydraulic suspension remains, the engineering feels beautifully uncompromised, and every aerodynamic surface has a genuine purpose rather than merely attracting attention.
▪️Collectors have already recognised its significance.
▪️With production split equally between Coupé and Spider models, availability is measured in invitations rather than showroom visits.
If this truly is the final non-hybrid chapter of McLaren’s celebrated V8 lineage, it feels like an appropriately British farewell.
📍 ‘Fast, understated and quietly brilliant.’
