McLaren 720S Tries Its Best, But The 765LT Is Just Too Much To Handle

Written by admin

Recent tests have proven that the McLaren 765LT is much quicker than a 720S in a straight-line, but now we get another chance to see the two go toe-to-toe at a drag strip with two experienced drivers behind the wheel.

The Napier Green 765LT featured is owned by YouTuber DragTimes and in addition to holding the world record quarter-mile time for a stock 765LT, a recent dyno run indicated that it is pumping out well over 800 hp. The result is a car that can leave a stock 720S for dead in a sprint down the quarter-mile.

Prior to hitting the drag strip, the YouTuber fitted a set of Toyo R888R tires to both cars to level out the playing field as much as possible. Even so, the duo did encounter some issues in putting their power to the ground without spinning up their rear tires, but the 765LT was generally about 0.4 seconds quicker than the 720S. While that may not sound like much, it is an age down the quarter-mile and proves once again that no other car manufacturer is currently building supercars as quick as those from McLaren.

In January, the YouTuber took his 765LT to the drag strip for the first time and when rolling on a set of R888R tires, recorded a best run of 9.338 seconds at 150.87 mph (242.8 km/h). The best run also saw the supercar hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in a mere 2.1 seconds.

McLaren 720S, Lamborghini Huracan, Ferrari 812 And Ferrari 488 Pista Engage In Battle Royale

Written by admin

Supercars are getting ever faster and the cars featured in this particular clip all offer truly frightening levels of acceleration. However, which of them is the fastest?

To find out, YouTuber 888MF teamed up with BOTB in the UK for a series of drag races. The cars featured are a pair of McLaren 720S’ (one fitted with an aftermarket exhaust), a Ferrari 488 Pista, a Lamborghini Huracan Performante, and a Ferrari 812 Superfast.

Kicking things off is a race between the Lamborghini and the 488 Pista. Thanks to its all-wheel drive system, the Huracan gets off the line quicker but because it has less power, the Ferrari storms past it before the finish line.

In the second race, the victorious 488 Pista lines up against the 812 Superfast and, despite being one tier lower in Ferrari’s hierarchy, the twin-turbocharged V8 488 out-accelerated the V12-powered grand tourer.

Then it was the turn of the McLarens, which lined up alongside each other and the 488 Pista for a battle of supremacy. During both races, the owner of the 720S with the aftermarket exhaust rocketed off the line much quicker than his rivals and came out the victor.

However, things don’t end there as a surprise competitor then joins the party in the form of a Porsche Taycan Turbo S. The all-electric super saloon has established itself as one of the most accelerative vehicles on the planet and can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in under 2.5 seconds. The question is, is that enough to upstage the 720S?
