Well here it is - the 720S
Discussion
I believe this image comes from the dealer preview in early November in the UK. Can't imagine McLaren allowing any other group the chance to take photos at this point - they certainly didn't for those who caught a glimpse at the Winter Ball.
Anyway, the image was first shared on IG by someone who works for a second-hand supercar dealership in Miami, FL. Suspect he may have gotten it from a friend working for McLaren's official dealer there, The Collection.
As for the looks - this is hardly an ideal image from which to judge, but on first glance I am definitely impressed by what I can see. I certainly can't wait for a chance to lay eyes on one and get a feel for the new face and all the engineering that has gone into it.
EDIT: I was wrong - that's a room full of journalists, so someone deserves to lose their job for clearly violating an agreed upon embargo.

very bold and futuristic but not sure I like it. Hope its just the angle of the photo but some of the lines don't flow for me. Don't like the new headlights especially from that side view
Its a bit wacky and over fussy for my liking but I also don't like a lot of the hyper cars like Pagani and Koenigsegg etc...
Sure it will be a fantastic car as a driving machine but its not a looker for me.
Definitely looks more hyper car than super car now

Like the Huracan, the rear is too low and out of proportion. Needs a wing on it.
There have been a few staged spyshots and teasers this week:

The pictures of the disguised test car(s) never suggested it was going to be the most beautiful supercar ever, but this looks already better. I think I like the shark-looking front end.
It seems McLaren have always struggled a bit to come up with a universally-acclaimed headlight signature (even on the F1 they did not look too good), but I am sure those will look much better in person than on pictures, just like on the other road cars they made so far.
Good job McLaren.

I think the side profile could be it's nicest view. Also proportionally it looks shorter and narrower than the 650S which is no bad thing if it actually is.
I'm willing to bet it's going to be bigger than the 650. Cars unfortunately only ever get bigger.If Mclaren had any sense at all they should just release their press pack with proper pictures than let this one get spread any more than it already has and set most people's expectations of what it looks like as it's a pretty rubbish picture.....

Well the image was originally posted on Instagram by Woppum - one of our PH own!
That is not the case. The image was originally shared by this account a full four hours before any other, but has since been removed. https://www.instagram.com/godspeed.edc/
Full caption was:
"Mclaren 720S - A special treat for all my fans! You got it here first! This is beyond amazing.

The very same account also posted some leaked Huayra Roadster images yesterday, but that post has also been taken down.
