Both can be quick but only one winner is possible.
The 720S boasts 710 horsepower (529kilowatts) and a 4.0-liter twin turbo V8. According to the factory specifications, it can travel 60 mph (96 km/h) in 2.8 seconds. It also has a top speed at 212 mph (341 km/h).
The 765LT replaces the 720S with a more powerful engine and cranks up the heat. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 produces 755 horsepower (563 Kilowatts) and is 136lbs (61.69 kgs) lighter than the basic model. McLaren claims it can reach 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds. However, the performance improves as the speed increases. According to McLaren, the Long Tail can reach speeds of 124 mph (200 km/h), in just 7.0 seconds.
In 9.9 seconds, the supercar can cover the quarter-mile
And on a pre-prepared strip. This time can be even shorter The first drag race begins at a stop. As you might expect, it’s no contest. They are briefly side-by-side. The silver 765LT accelerates ahead of the other vehicle within a matter of feet and continues to do so for the entire distance. They are separated by a few car lengths when they cross the finish line.
Next, there is a more exciting race. The race starts at 45 mph (72 kph). The speedometers on the video indicate that they are racing at 50 mph (80.5 km/h). The 765LT is in the third gear while the 720S is at the first. It might seem that the lower cog would give the less powerful vehicle some help but it is not enough. Another victory for the Long Tail. However, the distance between them seems closer.
