I test drove both cars in 2018 on the same day. Chalk and cheese. The McLareen did nothing for me while the Performante was love at first sight. I cancelled my 720S order and confirmed my Lambo order. I've had it 4 years and it's still the best thing I've ever driven. I will never sell it. Build quality is far better than my 3 Porsches and puts the 720S to shame.
Its one fault is it's too loud for trackdays.

Two of my favorite supercars. I like the lighter weight of the McLaren, but I prefer the normally aspirated V10 engine of the Lamborghini. I know the maintenance costs of these cars are as astronomically high as their initial purchase price, but perhaps the normally aspirated V10 might be more durable in long term use. I have seen McLarens and Lamborghinis many times in the Napa Valley during harvest season when the wealthy tourists go wine tasting. I can only imagine that they are as exhilarating to drive as their exotic looks suggests. Very pretty supercars.

How can the McLaren be rated as faster when the Performante is faster on every track except one; Autocar Handling Track (Wet), where the performance of these cars clearly are not tested as they are both beaten by a freaking Peugeot 307 GTI and a Golf GTi MK.5? I mean the page is called fastestlaps.com, not fastestinastraightline.com shouldn't the track performance be a bigger factor? Also how can the 720S score higher on track performance in the summery section when it gets beaten on 75% of the tracks?
