Rumors were swirling about McLaren taking the covers off the 720S Spider this month and now as we begin the month, some patent drawings have leaked via Autovisie.

The patent images reveal the design of the 720S Spider in full and as you can see it isn’t very different from the coupe, besides the absence of the roof of course. Interestingly though, the buttresses behind the headrests which have been part of the design of 650S Spider and 570S Spider seem to be missing from the 720S Spider design.

The parts shown in dotted lines are possibly unique to the Spider variant leaving a little bit up to the imagination before the reveal.

Customers have reportedly started signing contracts for the 720S Spider and deliveries are slated to begin next year.
