Well, seems that 720S is the very fastest car. But is that a dealbreaker? How often are you doing such dragraces? I would like to have one, but for the sheer pleasure driving it on long winding roads.

A bit odd doing without launch control. The cars are so close - it’s all about getting a good launch. The 720 driver did well in anticipating the start smile

I've just watched a Drag Times video where a 720S ran a 9.48 quarter mile at 147mph

VBox showed 0-60 in 2.1 seconds and 0-100mph in 4.4 seconds.

I'm old enough to remember when 0-60 in under 10 seconds was considered quick !

That's the one, it's had a chip tune and is launching on surface stickier than duct tape but even so yikes

Yes, but against a purpose designed and built drag 1 trick pony, the Demon. On the same surface smile

The 720S also stops, and goes around bends wink

PS. in the OP video, the 720S was running with a handicap, yet still won.

As the only turbo car in the line-up, it was disadvantaged by having to spool up its turbos, due to no launch control used. Hence its slower start.
