Transporting a McLaren 720S: Why Enclosed Auto Transport Is the Only Option for Supercars

Transporting a McLaren 720S: Why Enclosed Auto Transport Is the Only Option for Supercars

When a 2022 McLaren 720S leaves Miami heading for the Hamptons in Long Island, New York, one thing is non-negotiable: it does not ride on an open trailer.

This is a supercar worth approximately $200,000. A vehicle with a carbon fiber chassis, a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 710 horsepower, and a body engineered to cut through air at over 200 miles per hour. It demands a different level of logistics entirely.

At Genesis Exotic Transport, this is the standard. Not the exception.

Why the McLaren 720S Requires Specialized Transport

The McLaren 720S is not just an exotic car—it’s a precision instrument. Every inch of its construction is intentional, from the dihedral doors to the low-profile splitter and diffuser. Ground clearance is minimal by design.

Standard open carriers expose vehicles to:

  • Road debris and gravel impact
  • Weather — rain, hail, UV exposure
  • Temperature fluctuations that affect paint and seals
  • Visibility to theft or vandalism during transit

For a vehicle of this value and engineering, none of that is acceptable. Enclosed transport eliminates every one of those risks.

The Route: Miami, FL to the Hamptons, Long Island, NY

This is one of the most common luxury vehicle routes in the country — and one of the most demanding.

From Miami through the I-95 corridor, up through the Carolinas, past New York City, and out to the east end of Long Island, this run covers over 1,300 miles through varying traffic, weather, and road conditions.

Clients moving supercars between South Florida and the New York metro area — whether for seasonal relocation, private sales, or event attendance — need a transport partner who knows this route and executes it without drama.

Genesis Exotic Transport operates this corridor regularly, serving clients across Miami, Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Manhattan, Long Island, and the Hamptons.

Step 1: Pre-Transport Inspection & Documentation

Before the McLaren is loaded, it undergoes a full documented inspection:

  • Photo and video condition report
  • Confirmation of ground clearance for ramp loading
  • Fuel level check
  • Interior documentation

This becomes the baseline for the delivery inspection on arrival.

Step 2: Precision Loading

McLarens ride extremely low to the ground. Loading requires:

  • Low-angle ramp approach
  • Controlled, slow entry onto the trailer
  • Spotter guidance to prevent any contact with the undercarriage or diffuser

There is no rushing this step. A single inch of error during loading can cause thousands of dollars in damage before the car has moved a mile.

Step 3: Soft Strap Securement Inside an Enclosed Trailer

Once inside the trailer, the 720S is secured using soft strap systems that make contact only at the wheels — never on the bodywork, suspension components, or frame.

This protects:

  • The carbon fiber body panels
  • The factory paint and clear coat
  • The suspension geometry

The enclosed environment also means no debris, no weather, and no direct sunlight during transit.

Step 4: GPS Monitoring & Client Communication

Every Genesis Exotic Transport shipment is monitored throughout transit. Clients receive updates at key milestones — pickup confirmation, route progress, and delivery ETA.

For high-value shipments like a McLaren 720S traveling from Miami to Long Island, this level of transparency matters. Owners and brokers need to know where their asset is, not wonder.

Step 5: Delivery & Final Inspection

At delivery, the unloading process mirrors the loading process — the same precision, the same care. The vehicle is re-inspected against the original condition report. Any client present at delivery can walk the car themselves before signing off.

That moment — the client walking around their car, realizing it arrived exactly as it left — is the standard at Genesis Exotic Transport.
