McLaren 720S vs 750S: Which Supercar Should You Rent in Dubai?

Dubai loves a statement car. And few make one quite like a McLaren. Sleek dihedral doors, angular bodywork, and that unmistakable British-engineered snarl, it’s no surprise these supercars are everywhere on Sheikh Zayed Road, especially on weekends.

But if you’re thinking about renting one, there’s a real choice to make: go for the tried-and-true McLaren 720S Dubai, or step up to the newer, sharper McLaren 750S rent Dubai?

I’ve driven both, once as a rental during a long weekend, the other through a private agency for a coastal run to Al Aqah, and the differences aren’t just skin deep. While they look nearly identical at a glance, the 750S isn’t just an update. It’s a refinement of everything the 720S did well, with tweaks that matter when you’re pushing limits on open desert highways or carving through mountain curves.

McLaren’s Rise in Dubai

It wasn’t long ago that Ferraris and Lamborghinis ruled the UAE’s supercar scene. But over the past five years, McLaren has carved out serious ground. More than just flash, it’s become a favorite among drivers who care about handling, precision, and engineering purity.

In Dubai, where wide roads and high speed limits reward performance, the brand fits naturally. The 720S was the breakthrough model, lightweight, powerful, and built around a carbon-fiber chassis that felt more race-bred than its rivals. Now, the 750S builds on that legacy with subtle but meaningful upgrades.

Both models are available for short-term rentals across the city, though the 750S is still rarer, and often booked months in advance.

720S Performance: Still a Benchmark

The McLaren 720S runs on a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 producing 710 horsepower (hence the name). That’s good for 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 341 km/h, numbers that still feel absurd in real-world driving.

What made the 720S special wasn’t just speed, though. It was balance. The adaptive suspension soaks up rough patches without sacrificing feedback, the steering is razor-sharp, and the cabin wraps around you like a cockpit. Visibility is surprisingly good for a supercar, and the butterfly doors, while dramatic, are practical enough for most parking spots.

On a drive out toward Hatta, I found myself pushing harder than expected, not because I needed to, but because the car made it feel safe. It doesn’t fight you. It guides you.

Even now, three years after its peak production, the McLaren 720S Dubai remains one of the most complete supercars on the market.

750S Improvements: Sharper, Lighter, Faster

The McLaren 750S isn’t a new generation. It’s an evolution, but one packed with purpose.

Under the same stunning body (now slightly reprofiled for better airflow), the engine delivers 750 PS (740 hp) thanks to revised turbos, a new intake system, and reduced internal friction. The 0–100 km/h time drops to 2.7 seconds, and the car feels more responsive from low revs.

More importantly, McLaren shaved weight, around 35 kg lighter than the 720S, through thinner glass, lighter wheels, and optional stripped-out interiors. Combined with stiffer suspension and recalibrated stability systems, the result is a car that feels even more connected to the road.

Visually, the changes are minimal: updated front splitter, slimmer LED headlights, and new wheel designs. Inside, the digital dash is faster, the infotainment more intuitive, and the optional MSO carbon seats grip better during hard cornering.

If the 720S was a scalpel, the 750S is laser-guided.

Price Comparison: What You Pay for the Upgrade

Rental prices reflect the gap in performance and exclusivity.

To rent McLaren 720S Dubai, expect between AED 4,000 and AED 5,000 per day, depending on the agency, condition, and season. It’s competitive with similar exotics like the Ferrari F8 or Porsche 911 Turbo S.

The McLaren 750S rent Dubai typically starts at AED 5,500 per day, sometimes reaching AED 6,500+ during peak periods like Eid or New Year’s Eve. Limited availability means booking early is essential.

While the 750S costs more, the difference isn’t just branding. You’re paying for improved dynamics, better throttle response, and a car that’s marginally rarer on Dubai’s roads, which, in this city, adds value.

Which Offers Better Value?

This comes down to intent.

If you want a world-class supercar experience without overspending, the 720S offers incredible value. It’s proven, widely available, and still devastatingly fast. For most drivers, it’s more than enough.

But if you’re looking for the latest version, the one with sharper reflexes, less weight, and more presence, the 750S is worth the premium. It’s not dramatically faster in a straight line, but the improvements in handling, braking, and driver engagement add up in ways numbers don’t always show.

For enthusiasts, the 750S is the smarter pick. For first-time renters or those testing the waters, the 720S delivers 95% of the thrill at a lower cost.
