Nahwasharq, a newly appointed and official McLaren retail partner in Saudi Arabia, introduced the new McLaren 720S at the recently concluded 11th edition of EXCS Motorshow in Riyadh.

Nahwasharq is making its debut at EXCS Motorshow ahead of its upcoming Riyadh showroom in later this year.

The 720S is the second-generation of McLaren’s Super Series and represents the new interpretation of McLaren design language and dedication to aerodynamic principles, personifying the brand’s extreme performance DNA.

The McLaren 720S features a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine that produces 720PS and 770Nm, with power-to-weight ratio of up to 561PS per tonne. It accelerates from 0-100km/h in 2.9 seconds and 0-200km/h is reached in 7.8 seconds with a top speed of 341km/h. The carbon fibre chassis is based around Monocage II central structure which is key to the 1,283kg lightest dry weight and unparalleled interior space and visibility.

Sabah Al-Kraidees, vice president of Nahwasharq stated: “We are excited to introduce the new McLaren 720S for the first time in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through EXCS Motorshow. This is a great opportunity to connect with supercar aficionados and fans and offer them a look into McLaren’s world.”
