McLaren must have been thinking about that question when it came time to give the <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/cars\/2019\/02\/fast-friendly-and-fun-we-test-the-mclaren-720s-spider\/\">already rather good 720S<\/a> a bit of a midlife refresh. The answer is more power, less weight, and a raft of updates here and there that make the new McLaren 750S more useable but also even better on track, if that&#8217;s your thing.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from a standard configuration, a 750S weighs 3,062 lbs (1,388 kg), 66 lbs (30 kg) less than the car it&#8217;s replacing. But if you select the right combination of options, from single-piece carbon fiber racing seats to titanium wheel bolts, you can trim that down even further\u2014McLaren says to as little as 2,815 lbs (1,277 kg), but that&#8217;s a dry weight.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the all-carbon fiber construction results in a car that&#8217;s both very stiff and lighter than the competition. And the penalty for switching to a retractable hardtop roof is just 108 lbs (50 kg), although it does bring the car&#8217;s center of gravity up a smidge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1984019#p3\">Read 10 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1984019&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1984019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">With each iteration, this supercar gets better\u2014the McLaren 750S, tested<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge \/ McLaren Automotive got its start with the clinical MP4-12C.
