McLaren 720S vs Tesla Model S 60 380

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the McLaren 720S is the quicker car, covering it in 9.96 s at 145.5 mph against the Tesla Model S 60 380’s 14.25 s — a margin of 4.29 s. To 60 mph the McLaren 720S takes 2.67 s and the Tesla Model S 60 380 5.43 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.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures — 10/11 for the McLaren 720S, 2/2 for the Tesla Model S 60 380 — so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.

Questions

Is the McLaren 720S or the Tesla Model S 60 380 faster?
The McLaren 720S. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 9.96 s to the Tesla Model S 60 380's 14.25 s, a margin of 4.29 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.67 s against 5.43 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 Tesla Model S 60 380 0-60 time?
The Tesla Model S 60 380 reaches 60 mph in 5.43 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.25 s at 95.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The McLaren 720S trips the lights at 145.5 mph and the Tesla Model S 60 380 at 95.3 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 2 of 2 for the Tesla Model S 60 380. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
