McLaren 720S Performance

[LotusJas]

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.

Cor! Don't get over to Kent much but will be keeping a keen eye out for this bar the P1, the best McLaren released yet imo.

Blimey that's nice

[LotusJas]

Thanks guys

You sir are one very lucky gentleman! And no doubt that 'luck' has come through damned hard work.

[chilistrucker]

Ooofff, very nice!

[LotusJas]

Thanks guys.


Pic and video below from the moment I collected it from the detailer.

So shiny you need shades now

Stunning, really love the colour.
How are you finding it so far?

[steve2]

Very nice!
Jazz if I see you I will be stopping you to have a good look at it.
My friend has a 650s

[LotusJas]

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

There's a gaggle of McLarens parked in my building, including a 720S LT. Would be nice to see them all out for a drive together one day!

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.

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.

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.

Apologies, I’m sure it’s my mistake!! I’ll take a look tomorrow and see exactly what it is.

These cars are actually causing a problem, along with a few Tesla Model Xs an SLS and the Lambos, as cars are meant to be parked on stackers, but of course you then can’t open the doors...

Do you have any particular roads where you can use even a fraction of the performance on offer? I’m in East London so can go north to Sussex or South to Kent, but am really struggling to find any “supercars friendly” (smooth, open, decent speed limit) roads.

[LotusJas]

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.
