McLaren 720S Performance

My new Jet Fighter for the road McLaren 720S Performance

It goes like one, and the glass canopy makes me feel like I'm sitting in a jet fighter too!

I'm in central Kent, so if you guys see it around, it's me


Just some quick phone pics for now. I will take better ones when it's back from the detailer.



It actually looks a lot better in the metal than in pics, as you can't see many of the small aero details and hidden channels in pics.















Looks like it's on fire when the sun shines on it. The effect is far stronger in the metal, than on video.

Thanks guys

I'm finding it incredibly good, even though I'm holing back on the power as I'm running it in. Goes around bends like its on rails.

Suspension is so astonishing it's like witchcraft.

Best car I've ever driven - and I've driven a lot of super and hyper cars.

I took some pics in my garage

including a 720S LT

To the best of my knowledge McLaren haven't even started designing the 7xxLT yet. And I asked a number of their factory development people (as I have it on order).

They are currently working on the 720S Spider, and even that is only in multiple prototype design & engineering test versions currently.

Cracking

I’m due to do a super car type track day at Brands in September and 1 of the packages includes a 458, a Huracan and a McLaren, a 650 I think

Only 4 laps in each but I can’t wait.

I’m in Kent every morning now with work so will keep my eyes peeled.

You will have a great time. Just make sure they let you off the leash with them From those, the 458 will be the most fun but 650 the quickest. Be sure to have the 650 in track/track

Took a couple of pics just before sunset at Leeds Castle Seem to suit the car.

No, you can't even come close to exploiting its performance on any road. It is stupidly, ridiculously fast. Other traffic would be placed at risk.


I took it to Brands Hatch a couple of weeks ago, to be able to push it more.

I think I saw you testing it out around Kings Hill today. Looked and sounded great.

Yes, I was....but.....

I took my McLaren for a drive at about 1.30pm yesterday (Sunday) around Kings Hill, then the A228 from M20 near to Paddock Wood as it was such a perfect day.

Then I went back home, swapped cars to the i3 to give my son a driving lesson and we spotted a virtually identical Azores 720S twice! Just driving around Kings Hill, at around 2.30pm. Obviously it was impossible to catch it or even his attention when in an i3


So, you might have seen the other car, or indeed mine. Did you spot the licence plate? Secondly, I had my son as passenger in mine, but the other one only had the driver (I think).

Yes, it was your car. I spotted the car, my wife spotted the plate (it's her initials).

It looks awesome. Great choice with the i3. I am on my third now.

Thanks Were you in your i3?

I've seen quite a few around here now. I've had mine for 3-4 years now, and its a lightweight BEV version. My other car is an i8. Both my i3 and i8 are white with blue accents btw.

I love both the i3 and i8.

i3S is pretty new, so I doubt you will get a used one. I drove a couple of them at BMW HQ in Munich this summer. It's nice.

My i3 has been bullet proof. Very solid and reliable car.

I wasn't sure of the 720S originally either, but it looks far better in the metal than in pics.


Yes, I am in KH.
