McLaren 720S Spider: Performance Necessary, Roof Optional



The McLaren 720S Spider is remarkably similar to its stablemate, the 720S.
The Monocage II-S is one of the most impressive things about the Spider’s design.
However, wait until you see the tinted/transparent roof feature.

Either of those figures are attention grabbing, but hitting the double ton with the wind in your hair must be something.
