McLaren Speedtail specs

This ONE keeps "popping" up constantly even when running numbers on COMPLETLEY different production cars as projects! Let me put it this way it's 400KG LESS weight than a standard production Bugatti Chiron with 500HP less almost (let's just forget the McLaren "bump") it's got a VERY high technical capability in terms of it's ride AND handing and those people who have driven it confirm the former or latter or both. It's an INCREDIBLY fine production car. So again would I take it over the standard production cars from Bugatti and Koenigsegg? FK yes! The Bugatti Chiron Supersport? Surprisingly YES! The Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300+ significantly and historically important Bugatti? We will see when it comes out? But WHAT about the Pagani Huyara?

Dammit there's SERIOUS competition there and I hardlly talk about them anymore? Lotus Evija? Aston Martin Valkyrie?

FFS I wish I was rich! They don't choose they seemingly buy EVERYTHING! LMAO!

This video dropped lastnight. I was alerted to it's presence!

DON'T want to spoil it but WILL regardless.

Straight to the top of the tables! Doug's recently reviewed and driven alot of Bugatti's and the Koenigsegg Regera.

Andrew Frankel drove one awhile back in England (where I live) and reported on it's capabilities. He's driven just about everything. Taken into account with what Chris Harris stated on acceleration aerodynamics and handling I knew it'd do good with the technology it was packing too.

Anyway. McLaren are number one?

Ha.

@Dav1d
I was also curious to calculate the acceleration and top speed of the Speedtail. If you are so interested in this topic, I can post the results here a bit later.
Unfortunately, drag coefficient isn’t available at the moment, so I will use my estimated-0.25. Perhaps in reality it is lower.

An user with a nickname of ''Chiron SS'' just deleted his comment. He made a claim that he had calculated the acceleration figures and the top speed for the Speedtail. I asked for evidence and instead of proving his claims, he insulted me in many different ways. At the end when I exposed him of secretly editing one of his replies, he deleted the original comment and therefore an entire conversation.

R.I.P. the comment of @ChironSS. You will always be in our hearts.

I'm just disappointed in the change from the f1, with almost 30 years since the f1 they gained 10 mph and about 400 hp

Basically a more aerodynamic 1000hp 720S with 3 seats
Which is not a bad thing :)

0-400km/h= is around the 29 seconds mark. Currently.

EDIT: 27 to 29 seconds.

So after factoring in triple checking my calculations indicate that theoretically even with 15% drivetrain train losses that the Mclaren Speedtail taking gearing, aerodynamics and other factors has a top speed potential of 286MPH!

This is using factory McLaren manufacturer specifications where possible.

This DOESN'T include the circa extra 100hp or so that McLaren V8 engines seem to produce extra over and above their quoted power outputs. I may just work that out! :)

I'm looking at metrics from absolutely every angle. This hypercar is MASSIVELY misunderstood and underappreciated. I CAN'T believe I'm saying this but I'd have one over a Bugatti Chiron. It's THAT good.

0-100 3.0 seconds
0-200 6.5 seconds
0-300 12.8 seconds
I love mclaren lol

pretty sure this car is as quick as the regera cause mclaren underrates their figures and they stopped after 400 but it could get potentialy 410 or 420 kph

Production cars are on their ways to customers.

The Speedtail has recorded a speed of 250 mph at Johnny Bohmer Proving Ground's runway no less that 30 times in testing. Impressive

Can someone do a simulation for acceleration on this thing? I'm guessing 0-60 in 2.4 seconds.

wonder what the drag coefficient of this is and what it could do with 1600hp (aftermarket tune?)
