The McLaren 750S Spider is a mid-engine convertible supercar with 740 hp (750 PS), a retractable hard top and a carbon fiber tub. McLaren quotes 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds and a 206 mph top speed. The 2024 launch price was reported at about $345,000 before destination; see the price section for current figures.
The McLaren 750S Spider is the open-top version of McLaren’s 750S supercar. It pairs a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with a carbon fiber structure and a hard top that folds away. This page covers its specs, price, how the roof works and what to check on a used 2024 car.
McLaren is a British maker known for race cars and road cars. The Spider is the convertible version of the 750S. The numbers below come from McLaren and from US pricing guides, and the price section explains where sources disagree.

What Is a Spider Car?
A spider (or spyder) is a convertible sports car. The word is used by makers such as McLaren, Ferrari and Porsche for open-top versions of their coupes. It has nothing to do with the insect or the superhero.
Searchers also type 750 spyder or 750S spider convertible. These are all the same car. Many owners choose a spider for the sound of the V8 and the open sky, while keeping coupe-level performance. For McLaren, the figures above show a small cost in acceleration and weight over the coupe.

How Does the McLaren 750S Spider Roof Work?
The 750S Spider uses a retractable hard top rather than fabric. McLaren says the roof glides up or down in 11 seconds and works at speeds up to 50 km/h, which is about 31 mph. That means you can open it at a slow roll or when stopped.
A hard top keeps the car quieter and more secure than fabric.
Why the McLaren 750S Spider Is Quick: Engine and Carbon Fiber
Twin-turbo V8
The engine sits behind the seats. It is a 4.0-liter V8 with two turbochargers. Turbochargers push extra air into the engine so it burns more fuel and makes more power. In the 750S Spider that means 740 hp in US terms and 590 lb-ft of torque.
With that output, McLaren claims 2.8 seconds to 62 mph and 206 mph flat out. Those are manufacturer figures from controlled conditions, not what an owner will see on a public road.
Carbon fiber structure
McLaren builds the central tub of the car, called the monocoque, from carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is strong and light, which helps acceleration, braking and cornering. McLaren lists a dry weight of 2,923 lb (without fluids) and a DIN kerb weight of 3,170 lb (with fluids).
Design, Aerodynamics and Doors
Every vent and surface on the 750S Spider serves airflow. Smoother airflow reduces drag and helps the car stay planted at speed. The doors are McLaren’s dihedral type: they swing up and forward instead of out, which is why the car is easy to recognize.
Inside the Cabin
The cabin is a two-seat layout with leather and Alcantara available, plus digital instruments and a central touchscreen with phone connection. Trim and materials depend on options, so check the exact specification of a used car against the original build sheet.

McLaren 750S Spider vs Coupe
Many searches compare the 750S coupe with the Spider. The mechanical package is shared: same V8, same power. McLaren’s own numbers show a tiny gap in acceleration (7.3 seconds to 200 km/h for the Spider against 7.2 for the coupe) and the same 206 mph top speed.
The real difference is the roof and the weight that comes with the folding mechanism. Launch coverage of McLaren’s figures put the coupe’s dry weight at 1,277 kg against 1,326 kg for the Spider, a gap of about 49 kg (roughly 108 lb). In practical terms that is a small penalty for a car with 750 PS and 800 Nm of torque, and it explains why the 0-200 km/h time differs by only a tenth of a second. Buyers who plan to use the car mostly on the road will rarely notice the difference, while the open roof changes the character of every drive, from the engine sound to the feeling of speed. The coupe is the choice for pure track use, while the Spider adds open-air driving for a higher price. The Spider usually costs more than the coupe: Kelley Blue Book lists the 2026 750S coupe from $365,100 and the Spider from $386,700.
How Much Does a McLaren 750S Spider Cost?
McLaren does not list a US price on its model page. Reported figures differ by source:
2024 launch: about $345,000 before destination, or $350,500 with it (the price quoted on this page originally).
2026 listing: Kelley Blue Book shows the 750S Spider starting at $386,700. A separate table on the same KBB page shows a higher base style, so treat the figure as a guide.
Dealer asking prices: new 2026 Spiders have been listed on Kelley Blue Book at asking prices above the base MSRP.
In practice the price you pay depends on paint, wheels, carbon fiber and interior options, and it can pass $400,000. Destination and gas guzzler charges apply on top. Confirm the current figure with a McLaren retailer.

Why a Supercar Costs This Much
Engineering: McLaren spends heavily on development and testing.
Materials: the carbon fiber tub and precision-machined parts are expensive to make.
Low volume: McLaren builds relatively few cars, in England, with a lot of manual assembly.
Performance: output and acceleration are at the top of the class.
Living With a 750S Spider: Practical Questions
A supercar convertible raises practical questions that spec sheets skip. None of the following is a test result; it is a checklist of what buyers usually ask a retailer.
Luggage: a mid-engine two-seater has limited storage, and the folded roof takes space behind the seats. Ask to see the luggage area before you buy.
Ride height: low front ends and steep driveways are a concern. Ask the retailer whether the car has a front-axle lift system.
Insurance and running costs: premiums, tires and brakes cost far more than for a normal sports car. Get an insurance quote before you sign.
Servicing: work is done at McLaren retailers, so check how far the nearest one is.
These points apply to most supercars, and they matter more on a used car where the warranty may be short.
McLaren 750S Spider for Sale: Where to Look
New cars are sold through authorized McLaren retailers in major markets. Pre-owned cars appear at luxury dealers and on large online marketplaces.
Authorized McLaren retailers: best for ordering a new car and for certified pre-owned cars with warranty.
Luxury and exotic dealers: larger used selection, so compare several.
Online marketplaces: useful for price research; buy from a reputable seller and verify the VIN.
New or used: new gives full warranty and your own spec; used can cost less and still perform the same.
Buying a Used 2024 McLaren 750S Spider? What to Check
The 750S Spider arrived for the 2024 model year. Here is what to check before you buy a used one.
Recalls
On 2026-10-10 the NHTSA recalls-by-vehicle database returned no recall campaigns for the McLaren 750S for model years 2024, 2025 or 2026. A result of zero does not prove a car is free of open work, since McLaren is a low-volume maker and some campaigns are filed under other names. Run the VIN through the NHTSA recall lookup and ask McLaren for the service history.
What changed since 2024
The 750S Spider is still on the market for 2026, with Kelley Blue Book listing a 2026 model. McLaren’s published performance figures are the same ones quoted for the car at launch. Ask a retailer which running changes and software updates a specific car has received, and check the options against the build sheet.
Used car checklist
Full service history from a McLaren retailer.
Roof cycle test: raise and lower it, listening for noise or slow movement.
Tires, brakes and carbon fiber condition; ceramic brakes are costly to replace.
Remaining warranty and whether it transfers.
Original build sheet and options list.
Proof that any roof, software or warranty work was carried out by an authorized McLaren retailer, and a clear answer on whether the remaining factory warranty transfers to you. NHTSA currently lists no recall campaigns for the model, so the service record is your main evidence of how the car was maintained.
The 2024 launch price was reported at about $345,000 before destination. Kelley Blue Book lists the 2026 750S Spider from $386,700, but its own tables conflict and dealer asking prices run higher, so confirm with a McLaren retailer. Options push the price up.
How much is a 750S Spider McLaren used?
Used prices depend on model year, mileage and options. Dealer listings for new 2026 Spiders ask above the base MSRP, so a lightly used 2024 car will usually sit below that. Check recent sold prices and get a pre-purchase inspection.
How much is a McLaren 750S Spider with options?
Paint, wheels, carbon fiber and interior upgrades add to the base price. Dealer-listed 2026 cars have asked well above the base figure, so budget for the car as specified rather than the starting price.
How does the McLaren 750S Spider top go down?
It has a retractable hard top. McLaren says the roof folds or raises in 11 seconds and can be operated at speeds up to 50 km/h (about 31 mph).
How fast is the McLaren 750S Spider?
McLaren quotes 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 332 km/h (206 mph). Zero to 200 km/h takes 7.3 seconds for the Spider, against 7.2 seconds for the coupe.
What is the difference between the 750S coupe and Spider?
The Spider adds the retractable hard top. McLaren lists the Spider at 7.3 seconds to 200 km/h versus 7.2 for the coupe, and the same 740 hp V8. The Spider has a dry weight of 2,923 lb.
Is the McLaren 750S Spider still sold in 2026?
Yes. Kelley Blue Book lists a 2026 McLaren 750S Spider, and dealers advertise new 2026 cars. Check McLaren’s US site for the current lineup.
Is the McLaren 750S Spider Worth Considering?
The 750S Spider is among the quickest convertibles built. It offers coupe-like performance with an 11-second hard top. It also costs well over $350,000 and needs specialist servicing. For most buyers the decision comes down to whether the open roof is worth the premium over the coupe.
