Whilst not a fan of black as so hard to keep mint looking that does look mega and the contrasting orange calipers and interior - super cool.

Is it a new car ? can you share your spec I'm interested to see how wild people go in the sweetie shop configurator

They've put the steering wheel on the wrong side

It's great to see those who have embraced the lights and those that prefer to hide them all in the same place

Black is by far my favourite colour by far on the 720 but i am biased

Congrats on your new purchase, Enjoy in good health as well!!!

[RamboLambo]

Congrats. Definitely looks good in black probably because it tones down the headlights

[LotusJas]

That does look very nice indeed.

I had thought a white 720S would look terrible, but now having seen a few, it also has massive presence. Its "panda" appearance reminds me of a white dial Rolex Daytona in fact, in a good way.

I don't think the 720S looks bad in any colour in fact. Never pretty, but always stunning.

Thanks and yes, we ordered it new. I will try to dig out the spec and post it later this week.

Alcantara interior?

was watching a video of a 991.1 gt3 vs a 991.2 gt3, the .2 murdered the .1 then vs a lambo the lambo murdered the gt3.2 - the 720s murdered the lambo. just an insanely quick car!

Insanely fast car YES but exciting, raw and edgy NO. Maybe an LT version will address this as did the 675LT somewhat. The 1 major factor that would help immensely for me is the sound. Even the 675LT sound did not make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck like the Huracan Performante does.

I would also say that the difference between Lambo's strada and corsa settings is far greater than McLarens comfort and track

This is not a problem to be "addressed", 720S is not supposed to be raw and edgy Mclaren are trying to pull off a Porsche ++ trick, everyday usability with futuristic looks, technology and performance. 720S is the ultimate daily driver, I have a raw car if I want histrionics. The LT will doubtless be the fastest round the track but you obviously crave the high revving nat asp, loud (in every way) Lambo I do not believe Mclaren are aiming at this specific market as it is relatively small.

Yes

With the orange piping that must look, and feel, stunning!

There was a black 650 Spider with that interior a year or so ago at McLaren Birmingham and it looked sensational

Sorry, haven’t been able to find the spec sheet but here is a picture of the interior. Also just redesigned the karenable.com site with all the SSO supercar blogs.
