I've heard from pretty reliable Sources it's either 750S or 770S with 765LT transmission.

So just some more "chatter" I've been tracking so please take as is but
720S replacement launched April or Early May.
NDA specifications sessions happening very soon.
Fenders have louvers.
Exhaust pipes rear just like the 765LT but TWO exits not four.
Grain of salt ofcourse but some of these guys absolutely know.

Incredible platform upon which to build from. Obviously, but still rear wheel drive and she just absolutely hankers down and buggers off down the airfield!

McLaren 720S successor to be revealed in April 2023 – report!
McLaren’s next flagship supercar – internally known as the 750S – will reportedly be unveiled in April, just four months after production of the 720S ended.
www.drive.com.au
"The successor to the McLaren 720S supercar – named 750S within the UK company – will be revealed in April 2023, according to overseas reports.
Production of the McLaren 720S came to an end in January 2023 after a five-year run, with convertible examples of the supercar’s race track-oriented version – the 765LT – winding up in the near future.
A McLaren insider reportedly told Automotive News the 750S will be an evolution of the 720S, though it’s not known whether it will continue with the alphanumeric designations of past McLarens or use a ‘real’ name.
The publication’s source claims McLaren will publish its first teaser of the 750S later this month, before a full reveal occurs in April 2023.
According to the report, the 750S will be powered by the McLaren 720S’s 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, rather than a more powerful version of the Artura’s 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 hybrid.
Compared to the McLaren 720S, the 750S is set to receive a power boost – rising from 530kW to 552kW– but it won’t be as potent as the race track-oriented 765LT, which produces 563kW from the same V8 engine.
According to Automotive News, the 750S is set to become McLaren’s final new car to launch without electrification, although the UK-based company will continue to use hybrid systems across its model range.
The McLaren 750S’s exterior will reportedly be a heavy refresh of the 720S’s five-year-old design, incorporating elements of the company’s recently-launched supercars – such as the Artura – with a new front bumper, larger air intakes and bigger air brake.
As reported in December 2022, McLaren has established a design tie-up with the Lockheed Martin ‘Skunk Works’ division, leaning on the US advanced aerospace company to provide what the supercar maker claims is a more futuristic design approach for its next-generation cars.
Automotive News reports the McLaren 750S’s digital instrument cluster will be relocated from the dashboard to the steering column, while control buttons for its suspension settings and drive modes could be relocated from the centre console to the dash surround.
If the McLaren 750S is launched this year, it could provide a much-needed injection of cash for the UK car-maker, having reportedly been in financial dire straits for a number of years.
In December 2022, news agency Bloomberg reported McLaren recently sold a number of collectible vehicles from its heritage fleet to Mumtalakat Holding Co. – the car-maker’s Bahrain-based owners – to fund “technical upgrades” for the Artura hybrid supercar.
A spokesperson for McLaren told Bloomberg the sale injected an additional £100 million ($AU180 million) into the struggling UK car-maker, which recorded a loss of £203 million ($AU351 million) between January and September 2022."
McLaren’s next flagship supercar – internally known as the 750S – will reportedly be unveiled in April, just four months after production of the 720S ended.

This gentleman is called or his channel is called "Rafa Racing". On IG atleast from memory.
Obviously the above is the McLaren 720S based track only GT3X. An exceptionally rare car.
Oh and he's got an Hennessey Venom F5 Coupe too that was delivered just in time for Christmas apparently! LOL!

I mean, on what Planet is this even remotely acceptable behaviour? It isn't.
The Police arrived quickly. But the (glass atleast) damage was already done. What an idiot!

And that's exactly the point, and exactly the same I said to someone. We were taught the difference between right and wrong and understood the CONSEQUENCES of our actions. He seemingly understands neither.

Watch – A man in the UK is caught vandalizing a parked $300,000 McLaren supercar by jumping on it - Luxurylaunches
Struggles of owning exotic cars go well beyond just footing the eye-watering service bills. Even if you’re lucky enough not to have your supercar crashed
luxurylaunches.com
"While the miscreant was immediately caught by the cops after the incident, the vandalism was already done. The extent of the damage is not known but the person can be seen jumping on the front and read windshield hard enough to crack them both then bouncing on the car’s rear wing, which could also have caused damage to its actuators. Furthermore, the supercar’s right door mirror also seems to be broken. All of this easily add up to $25,000 or more in damages."

The Ferrari is definitely interesting. I'm starting to look at the mid tier Aston Martin as well. Porsche hybrid 992 that is must make an appearance soon!

Agree. However I believe that the 720S will age extremely well and appreciation for it will grow. Ignoring early reliability and production quality woes, It's one of the greatest supercars ever made.

You know, truthfully that absolutely crossed my mind. Because~
I've been trying to find out about THIS "bumblebee". Dated 23rd March 2020. I've never shown that picture before (it is Public domain mind, but buried!) She's out there somewhere in a collection I'd think, or elsewhere hidden!

The 720S is still an excellent car and it looks fantastic. The styling hasn't aged at all and still looks like a new model. It is probably pound for pound the best supercar for the last 5 years and only now has Ferrari caught up to it with the 296 GTB. The next 750 or 770S is going to be epic.
