Those flower rims are hideous.

I'm sure you'll have plenty of other choices to pick from. When you buy yours.

Wow!

I’m guessing the LT spider will be even nicer

So much want

[ukaskew]

Love the complete contrast to the original 720S reveal where seemingly 99% of commenters simply couldn't get past the so-called challenging looks.

Beauty most definitely is in the eye of the beholder. Just looks like a car that has taken styling cues from an electric shaver to me.

[tyrrell]

That looks absolutely stunning I want !

'Aztec Gold' - I imagine this colour would be radiant on this car.

[Vocht]

How do the doors open up on this? The coupe they're part hinged from the roof so I wonder if they've had to go for 'normal' openings instead.

first time i've preferred the spider over the normal version of a car

No they are dihedral with all the mechanism in the front as on the 570s.

Looks are clearly very subjective - to me that's one horrifically ugly car.

[Gameface]

Not as elegant as the back the coupe certainly.

+1

Historically I believe Mcl have always ceased production of coupe when spider goes on sale. On this one I think coupe will continue to be in production alongside spider.

I'm already interested what the next gen 720s replacement will have in terms of power. Where in the world do you go from here? 800bhp!

Will be a good buy at £150K in about 18 months

[howardhughes]

Beautiful. Love the lines and the colour.
McLaren once again showing how an elegant super car should look like.

[mikey k]

Sold!

How does it look so good? The coupe is not pretty by any stretch of the imagination, the Spyder looks great - is it familiarity, the colour choice & contrast & the loss of the roof?

All the above combined with not seeing the eye sockets so much in those shots.
I love it
Performance spec with buckets seats in Volcano Orange please

True - I'll stick with the blue colour, but only if I can have matching deviated stitching on the inside.

This must be when people are getting used to ugly supercars. THIS IS JUST NOT BEAUTIFUL! Really, what is with all those reactions 'WANT' and 'LOTTERY...' and 'SANTA...'??
