The McLaren Super Series Roadster Roadster impresses with 750 HP and an attractive starting price of 274300 £ . Here are all the details at a glance.
The McLaren Super Series Roadster announces itself with low-slung, aerodynamic proportions that look purposeful even at a standstill, thanks to exposed carbon and sculpted bodywork that channels air through every panel. At 4,569 mm long and 2,161 mm wide it sits broad and poised, while the roofless stance turns heads without shouting. Top speed is a serious figure at 332 km/h, which mainly means this is a car built for high-speed composure as much as visual drama.
The cockpit is driver-focused and minimalist, with premium materials and firm bolsters that keep occupants planted; details are high-quality but spare where weight savings matter. Controls are intuitive and the digital cluster prioritises essential data, making it easy to extract performance information at a glance. Practical touches are limited by design intent: the passenger area is luxurious but functional, not a place for bloated gadgetry.
This is a two-seater with a tiny luggage footprint: the boot holds about 58 litres, enough for a weekend bag but not much more, and ingress is typical of a supercar with a low sill and tight door aperture. At a curb weight of 1,438 kg the Roadster avoids excess mass, which helps handling but means it can feel firm over poor surfaces. Daily usefulness is possible for short runs and weekend escapes, but longer family errands or grocery trips will reveal the compromises.
Performance is the headline: the twin-turbo V8 displaces 3,994 cm³ and makes 750 hp (around 552 kW) and 800 Nm of torque, delivered through a quick-shifting dual-clutch to the rear wheels for a raw, engaging drive. Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in about 2.8 seconds, which translates to instant overtakes and an ability to join motorway traffic with confidence. The chassis is razor-sharp, brakes are strong and steering is communicative, so the Roadster rewards committed driving while remaining controllable around town when treated gently. For everyday use this means exhilarating performance on open roads and circuits, balanced by a firm ride that reminds occupants this is a performance-first machine.
The trade-off for this performance is fuel use: official consumption sits at around 12.2 L/100 km with CO2 emissions near 276 g/km, so running costs will be significantly higher than conventional sports cars. With a 72-litre tank the theoretical combined range is roughly ≈590 km, but real-world figures will vary widely depending on spirited driving versus steady cruising. In practical terms, expect frequent fuel stops under hard use and noticeably higher fuel bills compared with performance cars that prioritise efficiency.
Technology tilts toward driver engagement rather than autonomous convenience: the infotainment system offers contemporary smartphone connectivity and navigation, while parking sensors and cameras assist low-speed maneuvers. Advanced driver aids are limited compared with luxury GTs, so the car relies on driver skill for most dynamic situations. The result is a clean interface that keeps focus on the road and performance metrics rather than a maze of semi-autonomous features.
The Super Series Roadster targets buyers wanting an uncompromising open-top supercar experience: collectors, track-day enthusiasts and affluent drivers seeking weekend thrills rather than family practicality. Current versions include the McLaren Super Series Roadster 750S Spider Petrol Automatic Rear-Wheel Drive with 750 hp and combined consumption of about 12.2 L/100 km, reinforcing its place as a specialist, performance-first proposition. For those who prioritise raw pace, razor-sharp handling and visual drama over everyday convenience, this Roadster fits the bill; for more practical needs, a different type of car is the smarter choice.
