This will be the true successor to the McLaren F1 which everyone likely remembers. The F1 defined what a supercar was for decades sporting a lightweight chassis, high revving naturally aspirated BMW sourced V12, and advanced aerodynamics all along with daily useability. ...Published on 10-15-2018 03:25 PM
The metric for proving you have a fast street car these days is how it stacks up to the McLaren 720S. It is the barometer, benchmark, baseline, etc. If your vehicle can top it in a race, congratulations, you truly have a fast car. ...Published on 10-10-2018 10:23 PM
You will notice tunes spreading out for the McLaren 720S and Ferrari 488 GTB and part of what makes that possible is tuning tools such as this one from Autotuner. Their tool has the ability to read and write the Bosch MED17.3.5 and Bosch ME17.8.33 ECU's. ...Published on 10-09-2018 10:27 PM
The McLaren 720S is already light but when it comes to track performance every ounce matters. The Track Pack option will shed 53 pounds along with several other important changes. You will likely notice the lightweight forged 10-spoke wheels first. ...Published on 10-08-2018 09:01 PM
As if the McLaren 720S and its monster twin turbo 4.0 liter M840T were not strong enough from the factory the forced induction platform lends itself well to tuning. Hydra Motorsport did a custom dyno tune at their facility and kindly send the results to BoostAddict.com. ...Published on 10-05-2018 09:26 PM
Yes electric cars are the future but for now they can not match top internal combustion engines when it comes to performance. Electric performance is evolving as Formula E shows and German tuner ABT decided to borrow from their Formula E program for a street car. ...Published on 10-03-2018 10:11 PM
You do not get to see many independent tests of the Ferrari 488 going up against the McLaren 720S. Why? Because Ferrari does not allow it. They know McLaren builds the higher performance car and McLaren kicking dirt in Ferrari's face is nothing new. ...Published on 10-03-2018 05:04 PM
The guys at Autocar had quite a day at work when McLaren stopped by with a Senna and a 720S to test. You know the 720S well and it destroys everything in its path. The Senna is built on the 720S platform but is a limited edition hardcore track weapon. ...Published on 10-01-2018 09:32 PM
This comparison is from Tyre Review on Youtube and worth watching as they compare three popular Michelin performance tires. Tire technology makes huge strides over time and this is an area any car can pick up large performance gains from. ...Published on 10-01-2018 07:53 PM
Anytime you get to see a Ferrari 812 Superfast do some real world testing it's a treat. Especially against the McLaren 720S which serves as the barometer. The 812 is not expected to be as fast as the 720S as it is much heavier with less torque but it is arguably the grandest GT (Grand Tourer) for sale today. ...Published on 09-29-2018 06:03 PM
It is already well established the McLaren 720S is the faster car but the GT2 RS in the right hands is the better handling car. Still, this a rare pair of cars to see race each other so this video from Brazil showing multiple drag and rolling start runs is appreciated. ...Published on 09-25-2018 09:32 PM
There are some really bad shops out there. This is not the first time a shop crashed a customer's car when doing things in it they were not supposed to and it will not be the last. In the early years of BimmerBoost the story that got the most traffic that was when Discovery Automotive wrecked a customer's Ford GT. ...Published on 09-25-2018 05:23 PM
A Bugatti SUV. Well, it was only a matter of time, wasn't it? A lot is being read into Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann's words but what we know for a fact is he wants a second model and that Bugatti will not invest in a dying style. ...Published on 09-25-2018 04:53 PM
The testing data we have already tells us the GT2 RS is slightly slower than the McLaren 720S in a drag race. Seeing numbers and real world results are two different things and this video does a good job putting the real world difference in context. ...Published on 09-21-2018 01:52 PM
Another year another World's Greatest Drag Race from MotorTrend. This year the competition has some very fast cars but again it takes place on a non-prepped airport tarmac. That is fine as how else will you do a 12-wide drag race? ...
