The driver may then need to visit the nearest service center.
The McLaren 720S supercar is capable of beating many of the best supercars, from the Tesla Model S to a Porsche 911 Turbo S. New video shows McLaren hitting 204 mph (328 km/h). But keep your eyes on the left side of the instrument cluster when it reaches speeds above 199 mph (320 km/h).
The driver begins at a complete stop. The owner does not use launch control and takes it easy for the first second. The car accelerates at 19 mph (30 km/h) and then stops abruptly when the speedometer shows 328 km/h.
However, the McLaren dealer might be the next stop for the owner. Shortly after the speedometer reaches 320 kph, a warning appears in the left section on the digital instrument cluster. It indicates that the powertrain is having problems. Below the message, a warning warns the driver that he should call a service centre.
The 720S is powered by McLaren’s 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8. It produces 710 hp (529 kW), and 568 lbft (770 Nm). It is located behind the driver and the power is sent to the wheels via a seven-speed gearbox.
McLaren’s latest work on the 720S focuses upon making it suitable for international racing in GT3 class . Comparing to the road car’s version, the competition-spec version features over 90% new or updated parts, including a new splitter and floor assembly. While the 4.0-liter twin turbo V8 still delivers propulsion, tweaks to the torque curve allow for more efficient use of the truck’s powertrain. McLaren has already begun taking orders for the 720S GT3 at $564,000 each.
