McLaren 720S Takes on McLaren 750S in a Supercar Drag Racing Showdown

Can the McLaren 720S take on its big brother, the McLaren 750S, in a supercar drag racing showdown? Mat Watson of CarWow wanted to find out and despite being older than the 750S, the 720S most certainly holds its own.

First up, the 720S is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine making 710 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, enabling it to hit 60mph in a mere 2.8 seconds. The 750S also draws power from a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine, but one that now makes 750hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, helping it accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.7-seconds.
