McLaren 720S Spider Rental in Los Angeles
The dark grey metallic McLaren 720S Spider with the black and orange-stitched interior is based in Los Angeles. This is the one for the driver who has read every review and wants the car without the colour doing the talking, a weekend on the coast or a night out where the doors do the work in the valet line. We deliver it across Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
How It Drives
Start with the engine. The 4.0L twin-turbo V8 sits behind your shoulders and fires without drama, because 2 turbos sit between you and the pipes. What you hear in the first mile is intake whistle and tyre noise, not a bark, and in this grey car that matches the way it looks. Then the pull. A short lag you learn to anticipate, then 710 hp arrives all at once and 60 comes up in 2.8 seconds. The steering is hydraulic and heavy, so every seam in the road reaches your palms. Leave it in Comfort and take Mulholland Drive at a cruise, where the interlinked suspension soaks up the crests without the car losing its line. Brake hard once and the airbrake stands up in the mirror. The pedal feels dead until you commit. Press harder than you think.
How It Photographs
Dark grey metallic over bronze wheels is the quiet spec, and it photographs by contrast. In direct sun the flake lights up and the car goes silver along the hips while the wheels turn gold. In open shade it reads almost black and the orange calipers become the only colour in the frame. After dark the paint disappears and you are shooting the eye-socket headlamps and the orange stitching through the open roof. Take the rear three-quarter, doors up, roof down, where the bronze wheel and the orange caliper stack under the buttress. Shoot the front wheel close, 720S badge in frame. The turnout on Latigo Canyon Road 1.4 miles up from PCH puts the ocean behind the glasshouse.
Why This One
We run 4 McLaren 720S and 2 of them are Spiders based in Los Angeles. This is the grey one. The other is yellow with black MSO stripes. Book this car if you want the 720S shape without a colour that announces itself, with the bronze wheels and the orange calipers as the only accents. Both LA Spiders are $1,295 a day with a $2,000 refundable deposit. The satin black Spider in Orange County is the same rate, the white one in San Diego is $1,195.
What's On This One
This is the 720S Spider, so it carries the carbon MonoCage II tub, the single-piece retractable hardtop that opens in 11 seconds at up to 31 mph, glazed buttresses you can see through, the hydraulically interlinked suspension, the folding driver display and the full-width airbrake. The dihedral doors take a slice of roof with them, which is why getting in is easier than it looks. On this car the paint is a dark grey metallic over bronze-finish wheels with orange brake calipers. Inside it is black leather with orange contrast stitching on the seats, doors and floor mats, carbon fibre on the door inserts and around the steering column, and the portrait IRIS screen. 2 seats, a 150 litre frunk.
