About this car
The 2020 McLaren 720S Spider Performance delivers open-top supercar excitement with its 4.0L V8 engine, automatic transmission, and rear-wheel-drive layout. Finished in striking Papaya Spark exterior paint, this convertible pairs aggressive aerodynamics with everyday usability thanks to its vehicle lift system and comprehensive parking aids.
Inside, the cabin features Carbon Black upholstery with Jet Black inserts, complemented by extensive carbon fiber trim throughout the primary and secondary interior components. Electric heated memory seats, a carbon black Alcantara steering wheel, and orange seatbelts add both comfort and personalization, while soft-close doors and branded floor mats enhance the refined experience.
Performance upgrades include ceramic brakes with polished calipers, a sports exhaust, and 10-spoke super lightweight forged wheels in stealth finish. Additional equipment such as the MSO-defined exterior paint, carbon fiber exterior upgrade pack, stealth pack, and 12-speaker audio system further elevate this low-mileage example.

Factory color
Papaya Spark
Papaya Spark is a McLaren Special Operations (MSO) paint that reinterprets the brand's signature papaya orange as a metallic, infused with shimmering gold flakes for added depth under light. It is offered as an MSO Range color on the 750S. Its roots go back to 1967, when Bruce McLaren's team first raced in papaya orange on the M6A at the Can-Am opener at Elkhart Lake, a color chosen by partner Teddy Mayer to stand out on black-and-white television.

The McLaren 720S Spider, introduced in 2019 as part of the McLaren Super Series, is a convertible variant of the 720S coupe, produced alongside it until 2023. While exact production numbers are not publicly disclosed, estimates suggest fewer than 2,000 units of the Spider were made, contributing to its rarity among exotic car collectors. It is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine (M840T), delivering 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 212 mph (roof up) or 202 mph (roof down).
A standout feature for collectors is the electrochromic glass roof panel, which can switch between tinted and transparent modes, a unique innovation at the time. The 720S Spider also offers a lightweight carbon-fiber structure, enhancing its appeal in the supercar market. Value trends indicate strong appreciation due to limited production and McLaren's reputation for engineering excellence, with well-maintained examples often retaining or increasing in value. Special editions, such as bespoke MSO (McLaren Special Operations) configurations, further elevate its desirability among enthusiasts seeking exclusivity.
