Why not 296 GTB Vs 720s 😂 Drag races were bad 10.8 for 720s 🤣🤣 720s spider does 10.1 on this surface 720s is definitely 100% faster than 750S or 296 GTB or 765LT 2019 720s is quicker and faster than all of them

I wouldn’t know myself but do you not think you’d change your mind when you hand over the actual money and then have it there infront of you.

@@M140_- Yeah it's definitely a money thing...obviously to be able to buy one in the first place 😂...but also to maintain it with servicing, repairs, extended warranty, fuel, tyres etc. Like if I could comfortably cover those costs then yeah, I'd take it out all the time. But if I stretched myself to get the car, then probably not - but then unless you're buying it as an investment, I'd argue why buy it if you can't comfortably afford to run it.

[@beni5149]

It would be a weekend car for me . Because driving to work and back isn't worth the price to fix it and fuel it . Rather save that Money and properly enjoy the car on weekend. Yet again i wouldn't buy a McLaren, not saying they are bad or slow or anything, it's just not the first super car i would buy if i had the money. To be honest it's not in the top 5 either

Using it 5yr? a McLaren?😂 that 3 decade old nissan r390 engine wont do 60k miles and the gearbox goes first. Speaking to an owner he was on his 3rd gearbox and 2nd engine at 45k miles and had to pay for the 3rd gearbox himself as McLaren refused to fix it again. Possibly the least "usable" cars of all time

Imagine seeing pickups in ditches filled with snow, and then go take out your 'super car" which is crappy in snow because of crazy power and no tire tread.

Both incredible cars. Can't go wrong with either. It amazes me just how good those cup 2 tires really are over Pirelli. My 992 came with Pirellis and I definitely have traction issues on them. I have PS4S on my G82 and those were just so sticky.

[@The_Stanman]

I recently upgraded my 992 to PS4S (from P Zeros) and difference wasn't nearly as big as I expected...I think G8X has a BMW-spec PS4S which is even grippier? Either way, neither are as good as those 720's Cup 2s 🤤

[@plasmac9]

@@The_Stanman If I lived in warmer climate I would buy Cup 2s. It's hard enough to drive the 992 in winter with summer tires on. Anything below 45F and I'm taking the wife's X7 instead.

[@The_Stanman]

@@plasmac9 that's actually the one benefit of the PS4S I have noticed -- grip in lower temps (below 45°). Not a huge deal for where I live, but might be worth upgrading for you. But X7 works too.

[@plasmac9]

Had PS4S on my M4CX and they were great. But that car was awd and that definitely helped. The P zeros under 40F or when the roads are even a little wet regardless of air temp can be downright scary. The 992 came with the P zeros so I’ll keep them until I need to replace. Then I’ll get PS4S.

[@L333_MSO]

Had pzeros and mps4s on my gtr and 570, most notable difference is wet grip improvement using mps4s, hooks so much better than the pzeros. Benefit so notable the mac, much more confidence in the wet

Seems like the 750s has better acceleration with the new shorter gear ratio but the 720s has better top end with the longer gear ratio + we know the 720s has more than 720hp so maybe these 2 cars has similar power at the end of the day

I'm always curious - if 750 won the 1/4 with 10.5s is it possible that 720 had better time one or two rides before? Maybe it would be a good idea to always show the best time for each car? Regardless of which ride it was? 😎

[@margusjuur7881]

It's 750 marketing, and it was supposed to win, although the 720was literally faster. That's why they can't show the fastest times also for both cars.

[@SM-1010]

I’ve been saying this, why don’t they take the best times possible?

[@JonGlez978]

Because they race in a runway not a drag strip. I’ve seen a 720s run 9.7-9.8 on perfect weather with Toyo 888r in a fully prep surface. On the same track, perfect weather and same tires, the 765 LT could run 9.3-9.4. The point here is they raced the cars side by side… the day might not been perfect (The runway is definitely not perfect but it’s the same for everyone). So the times are what they are.

[@AB-80X]

@@Smzxe While it is true that McLaren underrates their cars, your numbers are too high. That 769 W_hp number was not done by the SAE standard, it was STD and it was not even done at a load based dyno. So you are looking at maybe 730 W_hp in the real world. Secondly the modern DCT transmission drive lines does not take 15%, more like 13%. So you are looking at about 830-840 C_hp not 880. This math you can do with the other numbers as well.

I dont think its the tyres mate. We can clearly see the 720s has less power off the line but reels in the 750 at higher speeds. The answer is GEARING. Shorter ratios on the 750 give more oooomph at low speeds and the longer ratios on the 720 give it more top speed.

Tyres always make a difference when it comes to performance cars. Owners will nearly always swap out pirellis. They've been proven time and time again to be much slower than others

@@irtiza4262 first watch 720s Autobahn run it's Acceleration and top speed is both faster than P1 or 765LT I have compared 720s vs 765 watch the video I uploaded 720s on Autobahn did 1 mile in 24.7 seconds @206 mph 765LT 1 mile 24.9 sec @195 mph P1 25.48 sec @204 mph 720s on Autobahn 1/4 mile 9.8 seconds @146 mph 1/2 mile 15.3 seconds @175 mph 765LT on Autobahn 1/4 mile 9.8 sec @148 mph 1/2 mile 15.3 sec @174 mph Similar times but after 200 km/h 720s is faster than 765LT 720s 0-300 km/h 18.1 seconds 765LT 0-300 km/h 18.9 seconds almost 19 seconds McLaren P1 0-300 km/h 20.1 seconds Vbox But that's without launch control on McLaren P1 P1 0-300 kph is also between 18-19 seconds So 720s is faster 218 mph 352 km/h top speed verified by GPS On Jhonny bohmer proving grounds P1 did 214 mph on GPS 765LT maxed out at 201 mph on Autobahn only 321 km/h on GPS on Autobahn

Pass that joint...765lt murder 720s by 5 or more cars..its the fastest McLaren ​@@Smzxe

​@@irtiza4262no they arent learn what you are talking about.

[@RodoElshoff]

I still find it unbelievable that the first question to an owner of a 200k “super car” is, has it broken down yet, and be surprised if not.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Well its very reliable surprisingly like TommyKaira R33.

[@lehoff]

Just because it's a supercar doesn't mean it's that reliable.

[@harryspeakup8452]

You must be new to the world of McLaren

[@G82Watts]

McLaren are known to break down . That's what made porsche what it is today. Their ability to be so reliable even when being pushed relentlessly on a track. Where as mclarens literally always have issues.

[@executiveinvestments]

@@G82Watts thats not true at all. Mclarens are known to be reliable. They are one of if not the most reliable supercar. Where did you get your info from? youtube? Every talk to real owners? Mechanics? Hundreds of owners in the forums? Maybe do your research before trying to spread a lie.

[@abdurrahmanmursi3411]

We should have a Dyno test

[@stubones]

Agreed. I suspect the 720S actually has more power. There are already dyno test videos on youtube showing the 720S has close to 790hp. They're easy to find. The 750S might actually make close to its actual rated power. Many Mclarens made signicantly more than claimed, but the 600LT actually made 600hp. The Senna made about 840hp, not the 789bhp they stated.

[@Vartazian360]

Really shows how lazy Mclaren was with this iteration. Virtually no difference between these machines. Add 30 hp, tweak the gearing, body paint the front end instead of 2 tone. Change the exhaust. Update infotainment. Thats it.

[@Michaelmyers1990m]

Thank you for this great track race. Both cars are total bargains compared to the cars from Italy and Porsche, especially when you compare performance to money.

[@gumpy4960]

I’m no engineer, but how can essentially the same car but with a bit less weight, a bit more power and shorter gearing be slower?

[@eddiec2go]

Less traction will hurt you off the line, and shorter gearing will improve your mid range acceleration but hurt the top end. I don't know a huge amount about the 750 tbh, but if they've worked in a bit more downforce that'll also hurt at higher speeds

[@stubones]

We know from multiple dyno tests the 720S actually has around 790hp at the crank/flywheel. Maybe the 750S actually has closer to its advertised figure. That's my takeaway. The 720S was always faster than the Ferrari Pista because the while both had the same claimed power, the Pista actually made 710bhp. The final drive is the only shorter ratio, same as the 765LT.

[@greenygreen5308]

Different tyres; one car properly run in; different drivers; vagaries of the track surface.

[@cameroncoppen2064]

Shorter gearing creates a final drive ratio that isn’t optimized for top speed, more so for acceleration. Longer gears let the engine crank out through the powerband more, giving you more top end shove. At least that’s how I believe it works. Something also tells me something may have been awry with the 750S. I’ve seen other videos with it and it’s been quicker. Not a crazy difference because they’ve both got hypercar-like power delivery but it’s definitely noticeable

[@plasmac9]

Traction. It's why a rwd will smoke the same awd car on a prepped surface. Take the 992 for example. 4S vs S on a prepped surface and the rwd S runs away with it. But put them on regular street asphalt and the 4S takes it.

[@88atm88]

You compared 720s coupe with 750s spider, so no surprise coupe performed better

[@plasmac9]

750s spider is still like 40kg lighter though.

[@tro3y]

A 720s coupe is 1419kg kerb weight and a 750s spider is 1438kg kerb weight. Power difference plus tyre difference = similar results, get a 750s coupe v 720s coupe on same tyres and the race will be more realistic.

[@brendandoria3994]

I think you can hear it through the screen. The 720s driver is purposely shifting a bit lower in the rpm to stay in the ideal power band longer

Still like the styling of the 720 and 765 better than the more tame 750, but interesting to see the improvements off the line. Both cars could and should run about 0.5 faster in quarter under optimum conditions but this is equal footing to show the gap. Thanks CarWow! Love me some McLaren content!

[@grabindragin3307]

Wow, so much heat soak. Fun fact most of the mechanical issues all McLarens suffer from is the fact that the intercoolers are piped into the radiator and the turbos use the engine oil. It really shows here in this video

[@Altamashkhan7545]

Next video we want is 765lt vs 750s

[@coolguy_2997]

the 750S retains an open-diff that uses the brakes to limit unwanted wheel-spin.

[@BrownSofaGamer]

You’re right, only the Artura got a mechanical LSD, but the 750S still uses just torque vectoring.

[@kornonacob]

Traded my 720s for new 750s after this race.... planning to bolt on a supercharger on the twin turbo in the 750s soon

[@MickWiddd]

What a beautiful mclaren

[@hooyabaaa2]

McLaren really have that bad reliability? People ALWAYS talk about how bad they are, but video of REAL owners only shows ''only'' poor finishing, bad gaps on the body, or squeaks and weird sounds in interior... Maybe it´s somewhat normal for a ''hand made car''. Other than that, many cars are in track days by years without problems...

[@yordanyozunasantos7928]

I’ve heard from McLaren mechanics that if you just weekend drive them they break on you since the engine components aren’t warmed up But when you daily drive them and keep everything warm they are a lot more Reliable

[@jevgeniardassov]

Shorter gears are great for a take off but bad for top end.

[@raceGPT]

720s has BBS-FI R and better tires ftw, good owner 🥹

[@muhammedmohsen94]

At a previous race the 750S against the ferrari 296 and the ferarri was pulling away from the 750S , i was like "did they just downgraded it in terms of performance!" because i knew the 720S wouldn't fall behind in a rolling race unless it's a Chiron or something Rimac-ish .. this race proved my point

[@lockingdiff]

I've had my 570S for 2 years now, it's also been my daily driver. It's been wonderful and reliable. McLarens break when they aren't being driven. These cars need heat cycles and they need all of their electrical components to be started up and used, they will fail otherwise.

[@silent_fluo6917]

Them launching at the same time makes me so happy

[@BIGGELATO]

Curious to know the real dyno figures of the 750S now. It's like the 750S has the true 740HP claimed power figure, whereas the 720S has that typical Mclaren underdog 770HP dyno claimed power figure to not compete with other Mclaren model's sales 😂

[@cafe405]

100% about the start. They are so close that, in a head to head it makes bo difference. Stick a stig in those cars over 10 runs and the average will be ridiculously small in favour of the 750. That's just the peak of car development we've hit.

[@CarsCloseBy1]

Do not use paddles while roll-racing.. once you downshift to desired gear, then depress manual button after full throttle since it will shift faster and you will not miss a shift
