McLaren creates mini electric 720S supercar for children

By RELAXNEWS | 28 June 2019


LONDON: McLaren Automotive has unveiled the 720S Ride-On, a small, electrified version of the iconic supercar designed for enthusiasts aged three to six.

After a tiny driver enters the tiny vehicle via a tiny butterfly door, puts the key in the ignition, and presses the accelerator pedal, the electric motor propels the car forward — a motion accompanied by artificial engine sounds.

The Ride-On can also move thanks to an "autonomous drive mode," which is actually just a remote-control mode that lets parents control the car from the stands.



When the young supercar driver puts on the brakes, the rear lights ignite just like on the full-size 720S. To ramp up the luxury, the mini version is also equipped with an infotainment system outfitted with a display screen on which kids can play music or watch movies.

The McLaren 720S Ride-On retails for £315 (RM1,651) and is available for order today. The mini model comes in a variety of characteristically McLaren colours.
