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.

SIXTEEN SECONDS difference at the Nurburgring? Compared to parity generally elsewhere? Must of been a wet McLaren lap?😂

Anyway the Mclaren 765LT would TRASH it!😈💯

Naturally aspirated engine is more economical if you're ok with trundling up to 150 mph in thirteen seconds D: Huracan does 100-200 in 5.7- no need for estimates.

Mclaren really ought to have optioned the Trofeo R. It would blow everything away with those tyres. Mind you, its probably to make the Senna look even better when compared with the 720s...

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?

Usually a full Car and Driver test has 0-150 mph results. These mph times are estimates.

Performante comes with P Zero Trofeo R tires, while 720s has only two options, P Zero and P Zero Corsa, both of these are slower than Trofeo R
