720S vs Pista vs SV.

The second and third both own by Phil - Morethancars.

Just amazed, don't think atm anything beat a McLaren performance wise in the supercar territory.
And at todays price, it's perhaps the best supercar you can buy?

Also design wise, I mean, Pista doesn't look as good as 720S, although 4 yrs old?

It looks like Phil - morethancars - will go for a 765LT, following the 720S performance against Pista. Lol.

Wrt power though, Thorney did lots of test on the dyno and proven that 720S run the expected power, I suspect it’s the driveline and aero efficiency that give an advantage to McLaren.

Why Pista Piloti?

Piloti is just a trim variant of the Pista, technically is still a Pista.

And I mean, the same Pista on the video above lol.

Please remember it’s an estimate of power output at the flywheel, as the actual power output measured on a car dyno is at the wheel.

One of the reason why people in the field believe McLarens have less driveline losses (less power lost due to driveline frictions) so to justify results seen on the road...

Aero obviously can only be accounted when on the road (or measured in wind tunnel).

Yes but Thorney 15% it’s a value he used after speaking to a McLaren engineer, it’s not a driveline loss value measured by Thorney.
