    It’s time for an almighty McLaren showdown!
    We’ve got our hands on the new McLaren 750S, and it’s about to face off against the glorious 720S!
    It’ll come as no surprise that both cars are pretty similar under the skin, but let’s compare the stats anyway. Starting with the 720S, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 720hp and 770Nm of torque. It’s equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels, and it weighs in at just 1,419kg.
    Then we come to the 750S. It’s also powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this time it produces (you guessed it…) 750hp and 800Nm. It also comes with a 7-speed dual-clutch that sends power to the rear wheels, and it’s a bit lighter than the 720, coming in at 1,389kg.
    More power should make it a clear win for the 750, right? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
    Thanks to everyone who lent us cars for this race:

      Why not 296 GTB Vs 720s 😂
      Drag races were bad 10.8 for 720s 🤣🤣
      720s spider does 10.1 on this surface
      720s is definitely 100% faster than 750S or 296 GTB or 765LT
      2019 720s is quicker and faster than all of them

    Two things here:
    1. Tyre choice is key.
    2. Because of the shorter final drive the top speed on the 750S is actually slightly lower (205mph vs 212mph), so it’s no wonder the 720S started gradually reeling the 750 in as the speed climbed.

      Because they race in a runway not a drag strip. I’ve seen a 720s run 9.7-9.8 on perfect weather with Toyo 888r in a fully prep surface. On the same track, perfect weather and same tires, the 765 LT could run 9.3-9.4. The point here is they raced the cars side by side… the day might not been perfect (The runway is definitely not perfect but it’s the same for everyone). So the times are what they are.

      Agreed. I suspect the 720S actually has more power. There are already dyno test videos on youtube showing the 720S has close to 790hp. They're easy to find. The 750S might actually make close to its actual rated power. Many Mclarens made signicantly more than claimed, but the 600LT actually made 600hp. The Senna made about 840hp, not the 789bhp they stated.

      Less traction will hurt you off the line, and shorter gearing will improve your mid range acceleration but hurt the top end. I don't know a huge amount about the 750 tbh, but if they've worked in a bit more downforce that'll also hurt at higher speeds

    • @stubones
      @stubones Před 3 měsíci

      We know from multiple dyno tests the 720S actually has around 790hp at the crank/flywheel. Maybe the 750S actually has closer to its advertised figure. That's my takeaway. The 720S was always faster than the Ferrari Pista because the while both had the same claimed power, the Pista actually made 710bhp. The final drive is the only shorter ratio, same as the 765LT.

      Shorter gearing creates a final drive ratio that isn’t optimized for top speed, more so for acceleration. Longer gears let the engine crank out through the powerband more, giving you more top end shove. At least that’s how I believe it works. Something also tells me something may have been awry with the 750S. I’ve seen other videos with it and it’s been quicker. Not a crazy difference because they’ve both got hypercar-like power delivery but it’s definitely noticeable
