2 Answers
McLaren 720S uses an engine manufactured by McLaren. The McLaren 720S is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, codenamed M840T. This engine has a maximum power output of 530 kW and a maximum torque of 770 Nm. The engine delivers maximum power at 7,500 rpm and maximum torque between 5,500 and 6,500 rpm. Here are some details about the McLaren 720S: 1. The M840T engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. The McLaren 720S uses double-wishbone independent suspension at both the front and rear. The double-wishbone suspension is a simplified version of the double-wishbone suspension, where the two arms of the double-wishbone are replaced with two links.
I've driven the McLaren 720S several times, and what impressed me most was its in-house engine: a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine, codenamed M840T, delivering approximately 710 horsepower. This setup makes the driving experience explosive, with 0-100 km/h acceleration easily breaking under 3 seconds. At high speeds, the engine responds quickly and steadily, with a deep, resonant sound that feels like being at a concert. McLaren insists on developing its own engines to perfectly match the carbon fiber chassis and aerodynamic design, reducing unnecessary weight and loss, making it more agile to drive and even fuel-efficient for daily commuting, at around 11L/100km. The engine tuning is sporty, with outstanding performance in the high RPM range, making it flexible on both the track and city streets. Occasional maintenance only requires attention to turbo heat buildup. Overall, it represents the brand's core technology, with good reliability and maintenance costs that are high but worth it.
