McLaren 720S lap time at Nürburgring Nordschleife

so close to the performante

720S did this with Pirelli P Zero Corsa, while the Performante had Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R.

i know, that only makes this time more impressive :)

if it had optional trofeo r tyres a 7:01 is definitely possible

Yep, 720S has been an incredible car, consistent performance across the board, straight line and track.

yeah and its been a tough act to follow ever since

"The McLaren could certainly achieve a better lap time. However, it lacks that final touch of uncompromisingness. And a genuine sports tire. Because something inexplicably went wrong with the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R, which was tuned for the 720S, the P Zero Corsa was used in the super test.

Gebhardt's verdict: "The suspension setup is downright tame for track-day drivers. The tire selection is also conservative. With a more uncompromising suspension setup and a true sports tire with a higher level of grip, a special track version could translate the high performance into even better driving dynamics. The McLaren 720S is already fast, but it could be even faster."

Quote>"factory driver it would've been a sub 7 minute lap probably 6:55 or thereabouts."

I'll be honest I was just about to ask. It should be nearer to the Ferrari Pista definitely. Quicker, possibly than a Porsche 918? Impressive? Then the McLaren 765LT should shave a few seconds.
