Winter. Perfect time to unwrap a V8-engined turbo supercar. This is McLaren"s newest: the 720S Spider, and it is a 202mph convertible with a folding hard top. Merry Christmas. It follows the 720S Coupe, using a development of that car"s Monocage II carbon fibre core. Here, it"s dubbed Monocage II-S, which ditches the spine" running front to rear, and features a redesigned upper rear structure to accommodate that new folding roof. And because of that roof and associated tonneau, the 720S Spider is 49kg heavier than the Coupe, weighing in at 1,332kg dry. McLaren says it"s the "lightest car in its competitive set". A Ferrari 488 Spider is in the 720S"s competitive set, and weighs 1,420kg dry.
