Miami is built for supercars.

Sunlit causeways, palm-lined boulevards, glass towers reflecting the sunset, neon-lit nights on South Beach—everything about the Magic City feels like a backdrop for something fast, rare, and beautiful. And few brands capture that combination of art and speed as perfectly as McLaren.

If you’re considering a McLaren rental in Miami, chances are two models are at the top of your list:

  • McLaren 720S
  • McLaren 750S

They’re closely related, but they’re not the same. The 750S is the newer evolution of the 720S—lighter, sharper, and even more focused—yet the 720S remains one of the most spectacular supercars you can drive.

So which one should you choose for your time in Miami? Let’s break it down from a renter’s perspective: design, performance, driving experience, comfort, and “wow factor” on Miami streets.

The Basics: 720S vs 750S at a Glance

Both the McLaren 720S and McLaren 750S are mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive supercars powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 and built around McLaren’s signature carbon-fiber Monocage chassis.

  • McLaren 720S
    • Power: ~710 hp (720 PS)
    • 0–60 mph: around 2.8 seconds
    • Top Speed: approx. 212 mph
    • Personality: Ultra-fast, fluid, visually dramatic, already a modern icon
  • McLaren 750S
    • Power: ~740 hp (750 PS)
    • 0–60 mph: still in the ~2.7–2.8 second range, but even sharper in response
    • Weight: Slightly lighter than the 720S
    • Personality: Evolution of the 720S—more focused, more responsive, subtly updated design

From a numbers perspective, they’re very close. In Miami, though, the way they feel and look matters just as much as the spec sheet.

Design & Presence in Miami

In Miami, visual presence is everything. You’re not just driving—you’re on stage.

McLaren 720S: Sculpted Drama

The McLaren 720S has one of the most distinctive designs of any modern supercar. Its flowing bodywork, teardrop cabin, dramatic curves, and integrated “eye socket” headlights give it a truly exotic, almost alien look.

On Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue, or parked outside a South Beach hotel, the 720S looks like a concept car that escaped from a future museum. It’s instantly recognizable to car enthusiasts and still shocking to casual onlookers.

  • Ideal if you want:
    • A supercar that looks very artistic and sculptural
    • Something that stands out even in a city full of exotics

McLaren 750S: Sharper Evolution

The McLaren 750S takes the 720S shape and refines it. The changes are subtle but meaningful—more aggressive front bumper, revised intakes, and small aero tweaks that give it a slightly more purposeful, track-honed look.

On Miami’s streets, the 750S reads as “the newest version” to those in the know. It feels a bit more focused visually—more cut, more edge.

  • Ideal if you want:
    • The latest version of McLaren’s design language
    • A car that looks like the 720S but with a bit more aggression and modernity

In short:

  • 720S = artistic, flowing, eye-catching.
  • 750S = sharper, more modern, subtly more intense.

Performance & Driving Experience in Miami

On paper, the 750S has more power and less weight than the 720S—but in real-world Miami driving, how much does that matter?

McLaren 720S: Already Insanely Fast

The 720S is already brutally quick. Even a short burst on an on-ramp or a quick pull between traffic lights is enough to remind you that this is a car that plays in hypercar territory.

  • On city streets:
    You’ll barely scratch the surface of its capability, but the instant response and how quickly it gathers speed make every short drive thrilling.
  • On scenic routes like Rickenbacker Causeway or MacArthur Causeway:
    You can enjoy its balance—sharp steering, incredible grip, and the way it feels light and agile.

For most renters, the 720S is more than enough performance. It’s thrilling, explosive, and you’ll never feel like it’s lacking.

McLaren 750S: Turned Up a Notch

The 750S takes everything the 720S does and tightens it slightly:

  • A bit more power
  • Slightly faster throttle response
  • Enhanced suspension tuning for even more confidence
  • Some weight savings for sharper dynamics

On Miami roads, that translates into a car that feels even more alive under you. When you press the throttle, it lunges forward more eagerly. Small steering inputs feel even more precise. Everything is turned up just a bit.

If you’re the kind of driver who really appreciates tiny differences in handling and response—or you want the “best of the best” version—then the 750S will speak to you.

Comfort, Usability & Everyday Cruising

Supercars aren’t just about speed—especially in Miami, where a lot of your time will be spent cruising through traffic, pulling up to valet, and rolling along beachfront roads.

Both the 720S and 750S are surprisingly usable for supercars, but there are some nuances.

In the 720S

  • Ride Quality: McLaren’s proactive suspension makes the 720S more comfortable than many people expect. It’s firm, but not punishing.
  • Cabin: Modern, driver-focused, with good visibility for a supercar. The butterfly doors make getting in and out dramatic, yet relatively practical.
  • Usability: Great for 1–2 people exploring Miami, hitting different neighborhoods (South Beach, Brickell, Design District), and even taking a longer coastal drive.

In the 750S

The 750S keeps the same core usability, with minor refinements:

  • Slight updates to interior tech and interface
  • Small improvements in ride and handling calibration
  • Very similar overall comfort, with a bit more focus on the driver experience

From the renter’s standpoint, they’re both comfortable enough for a weekend in Miami—this is not a stripped-out track car experience. You can absolutely enjoy them for cruising, not just high-speed blasts.

Image & “Wow” Factor in Miami

Miami is one of the supercar capitals of the world. You’re not just driving—you’re being seen.

McLaren 720S: The Established Star

The 720S has been around long enough to become a modern legend. Enthusiasts know it. Influencers love it. It photographs beautifully. In colors like orange, purple, or a bright metallic tone, it’s a rolling piece of art.

If you pull up in a 720S:

  • Car people will know you’re in something special.
  • Everyone else will just think, “That’s insane.”

It’s an incredible choice for:

  • Photoshoots
  • Social media content
  • Nightlife entrances
  • Scenic daytime cruising

McLaren 750S: The New Benchmark

The 750S carries extra prestige by being the newer model. For those in the know, it signals that you’ve chosen the latest, most advanced version of McLaren’s mid-engine supercar platform.

It’s a perfect fit if you:

  • Like being ahead of the curve
  • Care about driving the “upgrade” or evolution model
  • Want something rare, current, and conversation-starting

From a “wow factor” standpoint, both deliver—but the 750S has that added edge of newness and exclusivity.

Which One Should You Rent for Your Miami Trip?

Here’s how to decide between McLaren 720S and McLaren 750S based on your goals and personality.

Choose the McLaren 720S if:

  • You want an absolutely insane supercar experience without stressing about the latest spec.
  • You care about design drama and that sculptural, futuristic look.
  • You’re planning a weekend that’s heavy on cruising, photos, and nightlife, with occasional bursts of speed.
  • You want a car that feels special, iconic, and beautifully balanced.

The 720S is perfect for first-time McLaren renters and anyone who wants a supercar that does everything—looks, speed, comfort, and presence.

Choose the McLaren 750S if:

  • You want the sharpest, newest evolution of the 720S platform.
  • You’re sensitive to performance details and want the most responsive experience possible.
  • You like the idea of driving what car enthusiasts see as “the next step up.”
  • You want something just a bit rarer and newer for maximum exclusivity.

The 750S is ideal for returning renters, serious supercar fans, or travelers who always choose the top-tier version when given the choice.

There’s No Wrong Choice—Only Your Style

Whether you choose the McLaren 720S or the McLaren 750S, you’re stepping into a level of performance and excitement that few cars in the world can offer.

  • Both are perfectly at home in Miami, where their exotic shapes and explosive acceleration match the city’s energy.
  • Both deliver unforgettable experiences, from the first cold start in the morning to the last late-night cruise along Biscayne Bay.
  • Both turn your Miami trip into something more than a vacation—they turn it into a story.

In the end, your decision comes down to this:

  • Want a modern icon with unforgettable design and insane performance?
    Go 720S.
  • Want the latest evolution, a little more edge, and the bragging rights of driving the newer benchmark?
    Go 750S.

Either way, when you slide behind the wheel of a McLaren in Miami, one thing is guaranteed:

You won’t just remember the city—you’ll remember how it felt to drive it.
