it was obvious mclaren would tell lies about the actual differences between the 720s and 765 and make it much better!

I agree, it's absolutely disgraceful that McLaren would mislead customers in possibly giving us MORE than they promised. How dare they give us a better car than we were expecting!

It's unacceptable that we get more bhp than the promised spec in a McLaren.

Mind you, by all accounts, Ferrari give you more too.....more kg.

Presume it was tuned...

What they describe as a "light tune" + downpipes

I'd never do it to mine, but am following it with interest. It's only a first attempt, so it will get a lot faster than this.

DragTimes 765LT vs Senna

That's just nuts!

We all know the Senna has more drag, and the 765LT would beat it. But it utterly annihilated it in a straight line.

Also surprising that Senna was only 5kg lighter than that 765LT (which has no additional lightweight options) and tested at about the same bhp is astonishing.

I absolutely love the 765LT think it’s a stunningly capable machine!

Surprising how the sf90 can win from standing start (is it 4wd??) but rolling race the Mclaren just does what it does best!


Massive achievement from Mclaren

SF90 is AWD and gets instant electric torque.

The latest family saloon from Tesla will probably beat both these cars in a drag race, if that matters.

Personally, I consider the 765LT to the last & greatest pure ICE supercar from McLaren. All hybrids from hereon, and the next super series will beat both 765LT and SF90 with ease in a straight line.
