McLaren 720S

The McLaren 720S reaches 60 mph in 2.67 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 2,929 cars in the set it is the 114th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent. 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.

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.
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.
What cars are comparable to the McLaren 720S?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari F8 Tributo (2.54 s), Mclaren 765LT (2.69 s), Ferrari Monza SP1 (2.53 s). Each one can be raced against the McLaren 720S in the panel at the top of this page.
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.
