McLaren's 720S series may be dead, with the Woking exotic car marque introducing the 750S, but that does not mean anything to certain tuners like Liberty Walk. Why mention this company? Because their latest project involves a 720S Spider, and we absolutely adore it.
You see, we still think that less is more in the tuning game. However, one can easily make us beg to differ, and in this case, Liberty Walk has done a great job with the British marque's defunct blue-blooded exotic, which rocks its widebody kit like a champ.
The first thing that one notices upon looking at this McLaren 720S is that it is significantly wider than its stock self. That is due to the new bolt-on fender flares. The Land of the Rising Sun tuner has also given it side skirt attachments, a large splitter up front, a new diffuser at the rear, a large wing, a fresh front hood, and a few other add-ons that contribute to its menacing stance.
Liberty Walk has gone the extra mile by making most carbon fiber attachments and choosing to display their cool pattern rather than apply black paint to them. Speaking of black, this color was applied to the supercar's entire exterior – well, save for the carbon bits, obviously. The tuner's name is visible on certain components, and other decals reveal the ArmyTrix was involved in the project with a new exhaust system (or just the tips?), Advan signed the tires, and Rohana the wheels.

The McLaren 720S' cockpit is barely visible in the images shared on Instagram earlier this week by Liberty Walk's founder. Nevertheless, we can still see that black dominates the cabin, with the occasional touch of red here and there. The latter is also the hue that was applied to the brake calipers, which provide a tiny bit of contrast to the project's murdered-out exterior.
All tuning enthusiasts know that Liberty Walk does not apply additional elbow grease to its projects. Thus, we can claim that this 720S Spider retains its stock output and torque. According to the Woking exotic car manufacturer, it is rated at 710 hp (720 ps/530 kW) and 568 pound-foot (770 Nm) of torque.
The stock 720S Spider has a curb weight of 3,247 pounds (1,473 kg), measures a little over 4.5 meters from bumper to bumper, and has a maximum speed of 212 mph (341 kph). From 0 to 62 mph, the 720S Spider takes only 2.9 seconds. It can sprint to 124 miles per hour (200 kph) in 7.9 seconds from a standstill and can deal with the quarter-mile sprint in 10.4 seconds.
So, do you dig the fresh and boosted looks of this British supercar, or do you think it looks better in pure OEM condition?
