In the long arc of automotive ambition, McLaren has drawn a deliberate line beneath a decade of supercar philosophy with the 788HS — a 788-horsepower, 1,265-kilogram machine limited to just 200 examples worldwide. Unveiled in mid-2026, it is the third and final car to carry the High Sport designation, succeeding the 720S, 765LT, and 750S with a power-to-weight ratio no predecessor could match. It arrives not as a continuation, but as a conclusion — the kind that insists on being remembered.
