Just got to drive this baby the other day

maxor · 06-16-2018, 03:28 AM

So i managed to get my hands on a 2018 Mclaren 720s and i've got to say i was pretty impressed, Only issue i really had was the break pedal, it was wayyy to heavy / stiff, Other than that the car is amazing and sounds great when going through tunnels

What do you guys think of the color?

MAXIMUM SPEED 212 MPH (212MPH)
0-62 MPH 2.9s
0-124 MPH 7.8s
MAXIMUM POWER 710 BHP
MAXIMUM TORQUE 568 LBFT

having a hard brake pedal gives you better brake feeling and precision..
great car..

Not really fan of that color looks like Silverstone. I will test it out next though

Fffffffuuuu I love that color. Whats it called?

Hot take, but the newer Mclaren's are giving Ferrari/Lambo a run for their money in the looks department

Not exactly sure on the color, CNC has it listed as white but it seems its white with a mix of gray / blue as you walk around the car, Pretty great looking color.

For sure. When i drove it, it had a great attention factor, around LA and rodeo drive i had some tourists taking photos as well as some thumbs up.

Non car people may not know what it is and assume its something crazy, obviously it is however the design and flow of the car definitely takes it to another level.

Possibly Muriwai White (https://jalopnik.com/mclaren-develop...ite-1821085626)

All i know is that I am extremely jealous. How did you manage to get behind the wheel of one?

StuP · 06-17-2018, 12:42 PM

I have to say if I was dropping that kind of coin I'd look closely at other colour options.

Never_Enough · 06-17-2018, 09:16 PM

Ugly color, but I wanna drive one

jmg · 06-19-2018, 02:26 AM

Love that color! I'd drive one, stiff brake pedal and all!

Ditto on the other's question. How did you get your hands on one? Turo? Rich friend?

BM dnobagaV · 06-19-2018, 02:39 AM

Atleast my 63 has more torque!

These supercars make me jealous; not because of the specs or price, moreso because of how many heads they turn.
The only BMW in their category is an i8, and I'm not a fan of it. For Merc, trying to snatch a Gt-R would put me in debt for a long time

1MOREMOD · 06-19-2018, 09:08 AM

Yeah saw an i8 in the wild yesterday does nothing for me

Joebie · 06-19-2018, 09:16 AM

If you're gonna buy a McLaren I'm pretty sure its illegal to buy any color besides orange or black.

I saw a 720s in Vancouver recently and it was a real eye catcher! Nice car!

TXSTYLE · 06-19-2018, 02:12 PM

One of the fastest/quickest cars on the planet right now! And definitely put Ferrari and Lambo on notice.
There are tons of videos of the 720S destroying pretty much anything short of a true Hypercar! The combination of power and gearing and driving dynamics make this car VERY desirable!

That's the same law that makes it illegal for a Ferrari to be anything other than red or yellow, isn't it? And the one that limits Lambos to black or anything neon?

(Puh-leeeeez ...

)

I like the color, personally. The whole white-with-a-black-roof trend is getting kind of tired; this throws a curveball at that ...

A family friend is working with a dealership to get them a deal with his boss and they just gave him a car to drive around in for a few days, He got a 570s before this one and decided to let me check the 720s out.

Hopefully soon ill be driving his 458 italia around for a bit

For sure, I only drove it for about 2 hours and i must say it is VERY quick. Gear shifts where smooth as butter and the turbo noises were eargasmic.
