Quote>"Coming from owning many Porsches and coming out of a 991.2 GT3 after having owned a couple of Turbos (997, 991) and a 991.1 GT3, I ventured into Lamborghini with an LP580-2. While I loved the styling and astonishing sound of the V10, I found the car to be lacking in so many different department.
I picked up a Ceramic Grey 720s from McLaren Houston two weeks ago and I could not be happier. I go out of my way to get out and drive this thing. I have much to learn for sure, but I can say for certain that this is the best performing and most engaging car I've ever owned."

Quote>"McLaren Planning All-Wheel-Drive Hybrid that Can Hit 60 MPH in 2.3 Seconds."
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a30119773/mclaren-awd-hybrid/
Quote>"The CEO claims the hybrid will be just 65 pounds heavier than current-generation McLarens, but we suspect that figure applies only to rear-wheel-drive cars that will use a new, lighter V-6 engine paired with the hybrid hardware. The company will likely continue to use turbocharged V-8 engines with hybrid capability in its high-end models."
Etc.

Savage and frightening Nürburgring video, Chiron SS. But in a good sense.
The Mclaren 720S coupe is one of the greatest supercars ever manufactured.
I'm sure this car will be with us for quite few years yet - well, 7 more at least.
Thank you for producing it for us.
Safe driving, Flt 158

I'd like you all meet someone from Mclaren Life. An ACTUAL OWNER, and in this case a STOCK production McLaren 720S!
https://www.mclarenlife.com/threads/porsche-992-turbo-s.103061/
Quote>"Here is my STOCK 720S running a 10.1 @ 146 on Pirelli Corsa tires while running a 5.21 60-130 !!"
This is his Dragy measurements and verified video!
1/2 mile in 15.69 seconds @176.32MPH!
And it was a slightly soft start!
Unbelievable!
And YES someone actually beat this too!😲
*Although verifications are ongoing, or more correctly benchmarking.

Quote>"Apart from a set of tire heaters, the 720S was completely stock and made three separate runs, each one clocking in at 9.7 seconds, and more than 146 mph. The first run saw the supercar conquer the quarter mile in 9.799 seconds at 146.50 mph. The second run recorded a time of 9.788 seconds at 147.28 mph. And the third run was 9.733 seconds at 146.72 mph, the fastest time of the day."
Three straight runs in the 9 second bracket? Extreme consistency. Piloting skills!

I'd completely forgotten about this. Streetspeed717 is cool AF. LOL! In lockdown I'd watch quite alot of his stuff. More recently not so. He had a ZR1 too so seeing both cars on the same channel was good. If I recall different times mind.
I've only remembered because of an old McLaren Life post. They are a good bunch too.

To be honest looking at some of the ones with recalibrations to the ECU, and comparing them to above atleast in just the pure software ones, well it's not really worth it.
7.1 and around 19 seconds to 124 or 186MPH is quite quick enough! So, if I could I'd keep her stock!
She's fine

I stole a white 2018 McLaren 720S from my former co-worker's very rich father, because she blocked me on social media after I stalked her. I had a crush on her. I snuck into the house at 6pm when the garage was open and I went all the way into the bedroom until 12am, when her parents were sleeping. The girl was wondering who was in the house, and it turned out to be me. I snuck into her parents' room and I took the McLaren keys from the dad, and I took a huge joyride in it for 16 hours including eight trips to the gas station all the way from Pasadena to Las Vegas. It was a nightmare and I was taken to jail there in LV for 6 days and I now have to pay up to $120,000 in fines for damaging the car. I reached 207 mph in a 75 mph zone on my way to Vegas, while I only hit 186-191 in zones displayed with 65-70mph speed limits in California. I crashed into 6 cars; thankfully no one was announced dead.

Merry Christmas All!, and Mr/Mrs McLaren 720S owner! You've got 14 days to prove you've got insurance or your cars may get SCRAPPED!
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-59781481
Quote>"The driver of a black McLaren has had their car seized by police and been warned it could be scrapped.
Cambridgeshire Police said it was stopped on the A1(M) near Peterborough on Thursday.
In a Facebook post, the force said: "The driver can have it back when they can prove there's valid insurance."
It added that vehicles seized in these circumstances can be either scrapped or sold if proof of insurance is not provided within 14 days."
So Mr/Mrs Mclaren got pulled over because it looks like he or indeed she is apparently driving without insurance.
Under English law if they don't provide proof within 14 days as stated they'll crush it or dispose of it financially.
Can't be backdated retrospectively. Oh dear! Muppet>
(But in other news, maybe a good reminder to visit old(er) haunting grounds!)
