McLaren 750S Spider Rental in Orange County
This McLaren 750S Spider in papaya orange over a black and orange cabin is based in Orange County. Papaya is McLaren's own historic racing colour, so this is the car for a renter already fluent in the brand, the one other McLaren owners recognized on sight rather than the one built to stop traffic.
How It Drives
The 750S sharpened almost everything the 720S did well, and you feel it first in the steering, quicker off center and noticeably heavier in your hands than the standard McLaren rack. Carbon ceramic brakes come standard on this car, firm to the point of feeling dead until you press through it, then it stops harder than the pedal travel suggested it would. Sixty arrives in 2.7 seconds behind 740 horsepower and 590 lb-ft, the shortest gearing in our McLaren range. Take the roof down and the rear window low on Ortega Highway and the centre-exit exhaust, standard on this car and louder than the older 720S, turns every gearchange into an event.
How It Photographs
Papaya orange with a black and orange cabin is McLaren's own racing colour, and it is the one shade in our fleet that other enthusiasts identify from across a parking lot before they see the badge. It photographs hardest against water, so shoot it at the Newport harbour or out along the Lido peninsula where the orange sits against blue rather than fighting another colour. Roof down, doors up, the black and orange cabin becomes the second colour in the frame. Direct sun keeps the papaya saturated rather than blowing it out, which is unusual for a bright McLaren colour and makes this one easy to shoot at midday.
Why This One
Of the two 750S Spiders we keep, this is the one in McLaren's own papaya orange, a colour with real history at the brand rather than one chosen simply to be loud. Book it when the person renting, or the person they are trying to impress, actually knows McLaren, because papaya reads as fluency rather than volume. Our yellow 750S Spider is the same car built to be noticed by anyone, this one is built to be recognized by someone who already knows what papaya means. Mechanically they are identical, 740 horsepower, 2.7 seconds to sixty, the same standard carbon ceramic brakes and centre-exit exhaust. The choice between them is entirely about what you want the colour to say.
What's On This One
This is a 750S Spider, the open version of McLaren's final model built without any hybrid system, in papaya orange over a black and orange cabin. It carries 740 horsepower and 590 lb-ft from a 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 sent to the rear wheels only. Carbon ceramic brakes and a centre-exit exhaust are both standard on this car. The roof is a single piece carbon hardtop that folds in eleven seconds. Inside, McLaren's rocker toggles sit fixed either side of the instrument binnacle, and CarPlay comes standard on this generation, the first time McLaren offered it.
