McLaren has confirmed the McL 820 as its next series-production supercar, arriving in 2027. It produces 820PS, about 70PS more than the 750S it succeeds, and McLaren will end 750S production during that year.
Why it matters
The announcement signals McLaren's next core mid-engined model and continues a naming system in which the number states power output. For buyers and enthusiasts worldwide, it defines the brand's performance direction after the 750S.
The McL 820 produces 820PS, roughly 809hp or 603 kW, about 70PS more than the 750S's 750PS. Full specifications and the powertrain remain unconfirmed until details are revealed in 2027.
The players
McLaren
McLaren is a British luxury sports car manufacturer headquartered in Woking, England, known for its high-performance mid-engined supercars.
Bruce McLaren
Bruce McLaren was a New Zealand racing driver and engineer who founded McLaren Racing and is the namesake of the car company.
The details
McLaren revealed the car with a stunt in London's Covent Garden, where a giant kiwi statue wrapped in orange and black camouflage carried the hidden name McL 820. The statue nods to founder Bruce McLaren, who came from New Zealand, and the company has stated the number in the name reflects power output.
Timeline
October 2026: McLaren took final orders for the 750S.
August: The McL 6GT was revealed privately at Monterey Car Week.
2027: The McL 820 arrives and 750S production ends.
2028: The McL 6GT is due to enter production.
Roadmap
The McL 820 is the direct successor to the 750S, which debuted in 2023 with 750PS and is being phased out in 2027. It raises the output of McLaren's mid-engined line by about 70PS and takes over as the brand's core supercar, while the Artura and GT are reported to be winding down next year.
Buyers interested in McLaren's mid-engined range should note that 750S final orders closed in October 2026, so the next model will be the successor. Prospective owners in markets such as the UAE can expect the McL 820 to be the company's core supercar option from 2027 onward.
The takeaway
McLaren's shift to a number-based naming system makes power output the headline figure for its supercars. Readers tracking performance cars should watch the 2027 reveal for confirmation of the powertrain and whether the 820PS figure holds.
What happens next
McLaren will reveal full details of the McL 820 in 2027, when the 750S production run ends.
