Porsche 911 Turbo 992 vs McLaren 720S

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 Porsche 911 Turbo 992’s 10.45 s — a margin of 0.49 s. To 60 mph the McLaren 720S takes 2.67 s and the Porsche 911 Turbo 992 2.50 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 Porsche 911 Turbo 992 or the McLaren 720S faster?
The McLaren 720S. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 9.96 s to the Porsche 911 Turbo 992's 10.45 s, a margin of 0.49 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.67 s against 2.50 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Porsche 911 Turbo 992 0-60 time?
The Porsche 911 Turbo 992 reaches 60 mph in 2.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.45 s at 131.6 mph.
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 trap speed does each car run?
The Porsche 911 Turbo 992 trips the lights at 131.6 mph and the McLaren 720S at 145.5 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 Porsche 911 Turbo 992 and 10 of 11 for the McLaren 720S. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
