What's new

McLaren's next supercar, the successor to the 750S, is set to be called the McL 820 and is reported to make 809 horsepower, according to Car and Driver, which says the company has confirmed these details. The car is expected to reach roads and racetracks sometime in 2027. Before the official confirmation, the name was teased in an unconventional way, with the company writing it on a giant kiwi, as Road & Track reported. Carscoops also pointed to a mysterious piece of artwork in London as a clue to the name and output, noting that McLaren will end 750S production in 2027.

Why it matters

The 750S is McLaren's current high-performance model, so the McL 820 is the company's next step in that lineup. The reported output figure gives buyers and enthusiasts an early sense of how the new car is positioned relative to its predecessor.

What others say

Motor1 took a different tone, suggesting that a hidden McLaren 'McL 820' badge could point to a harder-hitting replacement for the 750S and noting the name may be clunkier than expected.

What we don't know yet

The reports do not give pricing, detailed specifications beyond the reported horsepower, or a firm launch date within 2027.
