McLaren 720S vs Lamborghini Huracan: Renting the Track Stars in Dubai
McLaren 720S or Lamborghini Huracan in Dubai? Compare daily prices in AED, drama, comfort and who each suits before you book your supercar rental.
Here is the verdict up front. If you want the fastest, most usable everyday weapon that flatters average drivers and devours Sheikh Zayed Road, rent the McLaren 720S. If you want noise, theatre and a face that stops traffic on Jumeirah Beach Road, rent the Lamborghini Huracan. Both live in our 46-car fleet at Best Car Rental Dubai, both come with insurance included and free delivery anywhere in the city, and both will make your weekend. The question is which kind of weekend you are after. Below we break it down on price, drama, comfort and the driver each car genuinely suits, so you book the right one the first time.
The quick verdict: speed brain vs heart
These two cars solve the same problem in opposite ways. The McLaren 720S is an engineering exercise: a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 making 710bhp, a carbon tub, and a chassis so composed it makes you feel like a better driver than you are. Point it at the long sweep of Sheikh Zayed Road and it shrinks the distance to Abu Dhabi in a way that feels almost rude.
The Lamborghini Huracan is the emotional pick. Its naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 screams to 8,000rpm with a sound the turbocharged McLaren simply cannot make. It is slightly slower on paper and busier to live with, but it delivers drama in a way no spreadsheet captures. On a Friday night cruise past City Walk, the Huracan is the one people film.
Neither is wrong. The McLaren is the scalpel; the Lamborghini is the firework. Most of our clients know within a sentence which one they are.
- McLaren 720S: 710bhp, 0-100km/h in 2.9s, the precision and pace choice
- Lamborghini Huracan: 610-640bhp depending on spec, 0-100km/h in 3.2s, the noise and drama choice
- Pick the McLaren for outright speed and composure; pick the Huracan for sound and presence
Price per day in Dubai: what you actually pay
Daily rates for both cars sit in similar territory, and pricing in Dubai always moves with season, length of hire and how new the specific car is. As a working guide, expect the McLaren 720S to rent from around AED 4,500 to AED 6,000 per day, and the Lamborghini Huracan from around AED 4,000 to AED 5,500 per day. The Huracan often comes in slightly cheaper because there are simply more of them on the road here.
The numbers that matter are the ones hidden in other companies' fine print. With us, insurance is included, delivery across Dubai is free, and we do not bury surprise admin fees in the contract. What you should still confirm before any supercar rental, with us or anyone, is the daily kilometre allowance, the per-kilometre charge beyond it, and the security deposit hold on your card. Supercars typically carry a higher deposit than a saloon.
Book three days or a week rather than 24 hours and the per-day figure drops noticeably. A weekly Huracan or 720S works out far better value than four separate day hires, and it gives you time to actually use the thing rather than racing the clock back to drop-off.
- McLaren 720S: from roughly AED 4,500-6,000 per day
- Lamborghini Huracan: from roughly AED 4,000-5,500 per day
- Insurance included and free Dubai delivery on both, no hidden admin fees
- Always confirm: daily km allowance, excess-km rate, and the refundable security deposit
- Weekly hire cuts the per-day cost significantly versus single days
Drama and the noise test
If your trip is about being seen and heard, the Lamborghini Huracan wins, and it is not especially close. The V10 has a hard, metallic top end that bounces off the underpass walls near DIFC and turns heads at every valet on Al Wasl Road. The scissor-adjacent styling, the low wedge nose, the angry exhaust note on a cold start outside your hotel: this is a car built to perform for an audience.
The McLaren 720S is dramatic in a quieter, more alien way. Those dihedral doors swing up and out and draw a crowd every single time, and the teardrop cockpit looks like it landed from the future. But the turbocharged V8 is muffled compared with the Lamborghini. It is fast in a way that pins you to the seat rather than fast in a way that announces itself to the whole of Downtown.
Honest summary: the Huracan is the better Instagram car and the better cold-start theatre. The McLaren is the better looking-at-it-from-the-outside spaceship and the better in-cabin event once you are moving. For a content-driven Dubai weekend, the Huracan edges it.
- Huracan V10 sound: louder, higher-revving, the clear winner for noise and street presence
- McLaren dihedral doors: the strongest single party trick in the pairing
- Best for photos and reels: Lamborghini Huracan
- Best for spaceship cockpit feel on the move: McLaren 720S
Comfort and daily usability in the city
Dubai is not a circuit. You will sit in traffic on Al Khail Road, crawl over speed bumps in residential Jumeirah, and ramp into multi-storey car parks at The Dubai Mall. This is where the McLaren 720S quietly pulls ahead. Its hydraulic steering, supple suspension and excellent visibility make it genuinely easy to drive slowly. The ride is the best in the supercar class, and the front axle lift clears most ramps and bumps you will meet.
The Huracan is firmer, lower at the nose and busier in stop-start traffic. It is far from punishing, especially in Strada mode, but you feel more of the road and you concentrate harder over Dubai's many speed bumps. Forward visibility is good for a supercar; rearward, less so. Both cars run dual-clutch gearboxes that are smooth once rolling and a touch jerky at walking pace.
Boot space is tight on both. The McLaren's front compartment swallows a soft weekend bag or two; the Huracan's is smaller still. For a couple heading to a desert resort for the weekend, pack light and use the passenger footwell. Air conditioning in both is strong, which matters far more in a June Dubai afternoon than any lap time.
- McLaren 720S: best ride quality, best visibility, front-axle lift for ramps and bumps
- Huracan: firmer and lower, more focus needed over speed bumps, still civil in Strada mode
- Luggage: McLaren takes a couple of soft bags up front; Huracan is tighter
- Both: strong air con, smooth dual-clutch gearboxes that fidget only at crawling pace
- City verdict: McLaren is the easier daily companion in Dubai traffic
Who each car actually suits
Rent the McLaren 720S if you are a confident driver who wants to feel the performance, plan a longer run out to Hatta or the Jebel Jais road in Ras Al Khaimah, and value composure over noise. It rewards smooth inputs and never feels intimidating, which makes it a brilliant first hypercar-adjacent experience. It is also the better pick if you intend to cover real distance rather than loop the same five-kilometre stretch of the Marina.
Rent the Lamborghini Huracan if the occasion is the point: a birthday, a proposal backdrop, a content shoot, or a weekend where the car is the star of the photos and the sound is half the fun. It is the more extroverted, more recognisable badge, and for a lot of visitors a Lamborghini is simply the dream car they came to Dubai to drive. Be honest about your priority. If you want to be seen, the Huracan. If you want to drive, the McLaren.
Still undecided? Many clients book one for two days and swap to the other, which is the fairest test of all. Our team can set that up and deliver each car to your door anywhere in Dubai.
- McLaren 720S suits: confident drivers, distance runs to Hatta or Jebel Jais, composure seekers
- Huracan suits: birthdays, proposals, content shoots, badge-and-sound dreamers
- Want to be seen: Lamborghini Huracan
- Want to drive: McLaren 720S
- Undecided: book a two-day split and try both
