Mclaren 720S Spider

The Mclaren 720S Spider reaches 60 mph in 2.55 s (100 km/h in 2.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 10.05 s, tripping the lights at 140.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.64 s and the eighth mile in 6.55 s, reaching 100 mph in 5.19 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 720S Spider

The 2018 Mclaren 720S Spider is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,468 kg with 711 bhp, which works out at 484 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 484 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.64 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 100th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest one per cent of the set, and the 8th quickest of the 32 Mclarens here. Its 140.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mclaren 720S Spider 0-60 time?
The Mclaren 720S Spider reaches 60 mph in 2.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 100th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mclaren 720S Spider quarter mile time?
10.05 s at 140.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 6.55 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.64 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mclaren 720S Spider have?
711 bhp and 1,468 kg, which is 484 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 341 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mclaren 720S Spider?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari 488 Pista Spider (2.55 s), Ferrari F8 Tributo V8 Turbo 710 (2.53 s), Ferrari F8 Tributo (2.54 s). Each one can be raced against the Mclaren 720S Spider in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mclaren 720S Spider is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
