# New McLaren 720S Breaks Cover Ahead of Geneva Motor Show

McLaren has been teasing its upcoming 720S—including showing images of its [trick, folding digital gauge display](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/7993/mclaren-720s-will-have-a-fancy-new-folding-digital-gauge-display>) (below)—but it seems like the car itself has (perhaps accidentally) slipped cover thanks to a [Bloomberg preview](<https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-01/2017-geneva-motor-show-preview-hot-stuff-from-lambo-pagani?cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&utm_content=business&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social>) of the upcoming [Geneva Motor Show](<https://www.gims.swiss/en/>). The car you see above is, according to the piece, the new 720S, nearly a week ahead of its Geneva debut, in full glory with its open dihedral doors and classic McLaren-orange paint.

The British supercar manufacturer is calling this car, which has also been labeled the P14, the "second-generation McLaren Super Series," and we know from previous teases that the car will do 0-200 kph (124 mph) in an incredible 7.8 seconds, and can run a standing quarter-mile in 10.3 seconds. It's built around a carbon-fiber monocage and will feature a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. We don't have official power numbers, but [*The Drive*'s Aaron Brown is guessing around 700](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/7673/the-mclaren-720s-will-do-0-124-mph-in-7-8-seconds>), given the marque's history of aligning model names with horsepower numbers.
