Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ferrari SF90 Spider is the quicker car,
covering it in 9.52 s at
146.4 mph against the McLaren 720S’s
9.96 s — a margin of
0.44 s. To 60 mph the Ferrari SF90 Spider takes
2.17 s and the McLaren 720S
2.67 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
10/11 for the McLaren 720S,
10/11 for the Ferrari SF90 Spider —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the McLaren 720S or the Ferrari SF90 Spider faster?
The Ferrari SF90 Spider. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 9.52 s to the McLaren 720S's 9.96 s, a margin of 0.44 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.17 s against 2.67 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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. It covers the standing quarter mile in 9.96 s at 145.5 mph.
What is the Ferrari SF90 Spider 0-60 time?
The Ferrari SF90 Spider reaches 60 mph in 2.17 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 9.52 s at 146.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The McLaren 720S trips the lights at 145.5 mph and the Ferrari SF90 Spider at 146.4 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 — 10 of 11 for the McLaren 720S and 10 of 11 for the Ferrari SF90 Spider. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
