Some Interesting McLaren 720S Facts

A Supercar with Hypercar Performance – The McLaren 720S delivers 710 hp (720 PS) and 770 Nm (568 lb-ft) of torque, making it faster than some hypercars.
0-100 km/h in Just 2.8 Seconds – The 720S accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.8 seconds, making it one of the quickest production supercars in the world.
Monocage II Carbon Fiber Chassis – It features McLaren’s Monocage II, a carbon fiber monocoque structure, making it lightweight (1,283 kg dry weight) and extremely rigid, improving both performance and safety.
Active Aerodynamics for Maximum Performance – The 720S has an active rear wing that adjusts dynamically for downforce and braking efficiency, improving handling at high speeds.
Dihedral Doors for an Exotic Look – Its signature dihedral (butterfly) doors not only look stunning but also improve aerodynamics by channeling air into the radiators for better cooling.
Superb Visibility with a Glass-Centric Design – Unlike most supercars with limited visibility, the 720S features a glass canopy-style cockpit, offering a panoramic view and reducing blind spots.
Track-Focused Suspension Without Traditional Anti-Roll Bars – The Proactive Chassis Control II suspension uses hydraulic damping instead of traditional anti-roll bars, allowing for sharp handling on the track and comfort on the road.

Lightweight Twin-Turbo V8 Engine – The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 (M840T) is smaller and lighter than its predecessor and features new twin-scroll turbochargers for improved throttle response.
Inspiration from the Great White Shark – The design of the 720S was inspired by the great white shark, focusing on smooth aerodynamics, aggressive front-end styling, and efficient airflow management.
