Mclaren 570S vs Mclaren MP4-12C

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Mclaren 570S is the quicker car, covering it in 10.48 s at 133.8 mph against the Mclaren MP4-12C’s 10.69 s — a margin of 0.21 s. To 60 mph the Mclaren 570S takes 2.65 s and the Mclaren MP4-12C 2.92 s.

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

Questions

Is the Mclaren 570S or the Mclaren MP4-12C faster?
The Mclaren 570S. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 10.48 s to the Mclaren MP4-12C's 10.69 s, a margin of 0.21 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.65 s against 2.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mclaren 570S 0-60 time?
The Mclaren 570S reaches 60 mph in 2.65 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.48 s at 133.8 mph.
What is the Mclaren MP4-12C 0-60 time?
The Mclaren MP4-12C reaches 60 mph in 2.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.69 s at 135.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mclaren 570S trips the lights at 133.8 mph and the Mclaren MP4-12C at 135.2 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 11 for the Mclaren 570S and 9 of 11 for the Mclaren MP4-12C. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
