McLaren 720S

The McLaren 720S reaches 60 mph in 2.67 s (100 km/h in 2.77 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 9.96 s, tripping the lights at 145.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.68 s and the eighth mile in 6.57 s, reaching 100 mph in 5.08 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

The 2018 McLaren 720S is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,419 kg with 711 bhp, which works out at 501 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 501 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.68 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 146th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest one per cent of the set. Its 145.5 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 10 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the McLaren 720S 0-60 time?
The McLaren 720S reaches 60 mph in 2.67 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 146th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the McLaren 720S quarter mile time?
9.96 s at 145.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 6.57 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.68 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the McLaren 720S have?
711 bhp and 1,419 kg, which is 501 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 348 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the McLaren 720S?
Closest here on pace: Mclaren 675LT (2.69 s), Ferrari F8 Tributo (2.54 s), Ferrari F12 TDF (2.55 s). Each one can be raced against the McLaren 720S 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 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
