McLaren skipped the usual side air intakes on the 720S. The dihedral doors do that job instead, channeling air straight to the engine. Underneath is a one-piece carbon tub, the same design used in the Senna, keeping weight down to just 1,419kg. The result: 710 horsepower, 0-100 in 2.9 seconds, and a shape with nothing on it that isn’t there for a reason. Parked here, against bare concrete, it’s easy to forget it was built for speed rather than standing still. But that’s the thing about good design — it works both ways.
