What is the horsepower of the McLaren 720s?

[VonEmersyn]

McLaren 720s has a horsepower of 720ps. The McLaren 720s is a 2-door, 2-seater hardtop sports car under the McLaren brand. Taking the 2019 McLaren 720s as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4543mm, width 1930mm, height 1196mm, wheelbase 2670mm, trunk capacity 360l, and curb weight 1283kg. The 2019 McLaren 720s is equipped with a 4.0t twin-turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 530kw and a maximum torque of 770nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

My cousin just picked up a McLaren 720S last month, and accompanying him for the test drive absolutely blew me away. Official specs say its 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine squeezes out 720 horsepower, but the key point is that these 700+ horses aren't just on paper. Stomp the throttle, and your spine gets slammed into the seatback - the 3-second 0-100km/h acceleration feels like being catapulted by a rocket. I specifically checked the data: its power-to-weight ratio hits 561 horsepower per ton, even more brutal than a Porsche 911 Turbo. When you rev that engine to its 7,500 rpm redline, the high-frequency scream from the exhaust will make your scalp tingle. Driving this on the highway is like taming a mechanical beast.

As a long-time racing forum enthusiast, the McLaren 720S's 720 horsepower hides cutting-edge tech. Its M840T-coded engine uses race-spec twin-scroll turbos, and even the piston rods are titanium alloy. I once saw a modified version at Zhuhai Circuit that hit 780hp after ECU tuning. But the factory calibration's real genius is the power curve—delivering 770Nm torque at just 2000rpm, making city driving surprisingly comfortable. We often joke in car groups that this car's throttle is an instant speeding ticket, given its 341km/h top speed that's wasted on regular highways.
