This Novitec-Tuned McLaren 750S Might Just Be the Loudest Car You'll Ever Hear
When you hear Novitec, you think refined yet aggressive tuning that tiptoes around the line of over-the-top modifications. Their latest project, a McLaren 750S, stays true to this ethos while adding a serious punch. Revealed on their Instagram feed, the beauty of this British supercar doesn’t just lie in its subtle exterior tweaks but in some roaring internal upgrades.
Design Language: Less is More
At first glance, this McLaren 750S might look almost like its stock counterpart. That's because Novitec has taken a minimalistic approach to the exterior design. You won't find the ostentatious wide fenders, side skirts, and enormous wings here; instead, you get elegance refined to the nth degree. The addition of the MC4 wheels, featuring a sleek V-spoke pattern and a lustrous silver finish, creates a striking contrast with the car's black body. These wheels aren’t just for show; they’re slightly larger and fit snugly under the arches due to the lowered spring setup, bringing the entire body closer to terra firma.
The Heart-Pounding Roar
If there's one thing Novitec doesn't shy away from, it’s making a car sound like it means business. The newly fitted exhaust system from Novitec’s exclusive portfolio is designed to unleash the full auditory fury of the twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Although the company hasn't delved into specific details, the upgrade is expected to be ear-splitting – so much so, it might send babies into crying fits and grown men into awe-struck tears. Imagine the already loud stock configuration dialed up to eleven; that's what we’re talking about.

Technical Marvels Unveiled
One of the perks of McLaren’s naming scheme is its transparency about power. The 750 in the 750S stands for European horsepower, translating to 740 brake horsepower or 552 kilowatts. Coupled with 590 pound-foot of torque, this supercar is positioned as a beast on the road. However, McLaren’s track record suggests it might be even more potent than stated specs. Just like its iconic predecessor, the 720S, which surprised many by being stronger than advertised.
The McLaren 750S boasts a 30 horsepower and 22-pound-foot advantage over its predecessor. It shoots from 0 to 62 mph in a hair-raising 2.8 seconds, and that's for both the Coupe and Spider models. The top speed clocks at a staggering 206 mph, a tad lower than the 720S but still mind-bogglingly fast. Going from 0 to 124 mph takes 7.2 seconds for the Coupe and 7.3 seconds for the Spider, while the quarter-mile journey is wrapped up in about 10.1 seconds for the former and 10.3 seconds for the latter.
The Million-Dollar Question
So, what does it cost to own one of these British magnificos? A brand-new McLaren 750S sets you back around $325,000. But that’s before you add the $500 transportation fee, dealer mark-ups, and optional extras like the $2,240 Americas Accessories Pack. Realistically, you're looking at shelling out about $350,000. Now, would you spend a bit more to add some aftermarket brilliance from Novitec, or would you leave it in its stock, factory-fresh glory? That's a decision that requires deep pockets and even deeper passion for performance.
For many supercar aficionados, the temptation to tweak and perfect their ride with aftermarket components proves irresistible. Novitec's take on the McLaren 750S not only enhances its already stunning looks but cranks up its performance to levels that might just warrant ear protection. If you’re looking to own a piece of road-going art that's as fast as it is loud, this could be your calling.
