Some of the figures may be wrong here. McLaren's own site is different: https://cars.mclaren.com/en/super-series/720s/specification
dr. cosimo 11m ago @Tyrone1
very close
9.9 vs 10.7
best runs: 9.8 vs 10.5
the old mcdonalds mumbo jumbo cow should have been discontinued with the sv in 2015/2016 and put an end to all the embarrassing video kills
it shits like a hippo in a straight line and sweats like a pig around the track, what was the purpose of this car again ? lol
Tyrone1 10m ago @dr. cosimo
Even slower than i guestimated.
To be honest i feel really sorry for Lamborghini engineers. They ve been told to try and make a 1750kg single clutch aventador as fast as ACTUAL modern day supercars with comparable power, far superior transmissions, superior torque and 350kg less weight.
Its an impossible task.
dr. cosimo 1d ago @SpeedKing
exactly, spoof auto conducting tests around the ring is pure bs and only gets ok'ed here, which is another scammy site which gets all the support and teabagged by vw marketing dept.
one needs to understand that the 720s is light and lighter than the gt2 bs too, it should be able to beat the 812 and svj around the track, but sandbagging is part of spoof autos formulae as usual.
but i'd always choose the v12 beasts over it, anytime, anywhere.
gebhard-a-ss can only drive a rwd car when vw sends out their beloved beetle gt2 bs, everything else turns out to be scary, risky and life threatening.
your usual german horse-shit excuse, as to why they couldn't push to the limit.

mosti importantly it is manufacturer vs magazine laptime, shouldn't be compared or at least taken into consideration
benni275 21h ago @Botan626
Would be interesting to see for sure. But a few things that make it very unlikely:
- hardcore track version of the 720S in the making, maybe they'll do it with this.
- At the moment the Senna would be their weapon of choice
- Less track equipment on the option list than for GT2 RS and Pista who both have Cup R (GT2 RS also rollcage) as options, so it will be hard to match the times possible with this extreme equipment
I still think the car delivers great results given that it is by far not as radical as its Porsche and Ferrari rivals. And also don't forget it has also beaten the GT2 RS on some tracks.

Mclaren 720s fastest Buggati Circuit time for production car 1:41.65 excluding Radical.

in other news, the fat mermaid believes she has the firepower to defend herself and the rest of eu, only if you're going to show us that you've inherited some na_zi weapon from ww2 stacked under your bed which you never disclosed to anybody lol
soon enough, the german automakers will be priced close to a toyota corolla and honda civic when sales start to slump, if the fat mermaid doesn't obey

Wow, 90k in options, Thats more then a fully loaded M3 with every option available, Wonder what all the options were, Not like there worth more then an M3, I think that price JUST for options, Is just ridiculous, And im sure there were more too, Prolly mostly carbon fiber stuff.
But either way it looks good in blue, Still not sure how i feel on the looks, Seen better, But seen worse to.
But i have to admit, That mountain road looks Amazing! It looks straight out of a video game, Its astonishing.

CarandDriver instrumented test of the McLaren 720s

0-200 kmh (0-124mph) is actually 7.8 seconds . And for the Ferrari pista 0-124 mph is 7.6 seconds .

One question of this car. Many people said that 720S does 800ps but Mclaren declares 720 ps and in homologation an engine can make 95% to 105% of the declared power but 800 ps is more than a 110%. For example 488 in Sport Auto test maked 700ps and it is a little bit less than a 105%. It is legal? Why Mclaren don´t said that 720S makes 750 ps?
marcoppi 2y ago
hi guys, a question for someone more clever than me ;-)
how is it possible for the 720s to be so close in chrono in almost all circuits to the lambo performante while on the nordschleife the 720 takes almost 20 seconds from the performante ?
isnt it too much ? is it a matter of pilot/driver ? maybe mclaren should perform an official test ?
time differences are so close even with the 918 in many tracks that 20 seconds seemed to me really too much in the nordschleife !
very best .. and thank for any reply

If a European gets 2.6 0-62 mph on this thing, then it should really do 2.2 0-60 mph in an American test. I thought Euros don't use rollouts
