Mariah Carey has long aligned her pop persona with automotive flair, and the $300K McLaren 720S Spider is just the latest in a string of high-profile machines to make an appearance in her orbit.
Powered by a twin-turbo V8 and finished with aerodynamic bodywork and carbon fiber panels, the $300K McLaren 720S Spider represents the kind of excess that fits naturally into Carey’s world of stardom and spectacle.
Her ability to seamlessly pair high-horsepower cars with her image speaks to a deeper connection between performance machines and performance art.
She has frequently matched her high notes with high-horsepower cars.
On St. Patrick’s Day, she posted with a green Lamborghini Huracán, a naturally aspirated V10 coupe known for its aggressive sound and striking presence.
In the video for her 2005 hit ‘Shake It Off’, Mariah Carey drove a Lamborghini Murciélago, another poster child for early 2000s supercar design.
Both choices weren’t just for show. They reflected her long-standing taste for cars that turn heads and deliver serious power.
Her on-screen car moments extend into American classics as well.
In the music video for ‘I Stay In Love’, Mariah Carey is seen behind the wheel of a Chevy Corvette driving through the desert.
The car, a first-generation model, adds emotional weight to the video while showing another side to her automotive preferences.
Beyond music videos, Mariah Carey has been spotted with ultra-luxury vehicles like the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Continental, reinforcing her consistent presence in the world of high-horsepower cars.
She has yet to confirm an official release date or tracklist for ‘MC16’, but the teaser video has already caused a stir among fans and media alike.
Titled ‘T:D_MC16.mp3’ on the in-car display, the audio snippet features a NOLA-style bounce beat and a voiceover thanking DJs for their support.
The sound hints at a more rhythm-forward, club-influenced direction compared to the smooth and restrained tones of her last album, ‘Caution’, released in 2018.
With ‘MC16’, it seems Mariah Carey is once again reinventing herself while staying rooted in her signature R&B influence.
Mariah Carey has announced her return in a way only she could, from the seat of a $300,000 McLaren 720S Spider.
The choice of vehicle was not accidental. It was a calculated fusion of luxury, performance, and power.
If ‘MC16’ carries the same intensity as the car that introduced it, fans should prepare for a bold new era defined by sound, speed, and unmistakable style.
