The McLaren 720S is a British sports car designed and manufactured by McLaren Automotive. It is the second all-new car in the McLaren Super Series, replacing the 650S beginning in May 2017. The 720S was launched at the Geneva Motor Show on 7 March 2017 and is built on a modified carbon chassis, which is lighter and stiffer in contrast to the 650S. he 720S features McLaren's new M840T engine. It is a 3,994 cc ( L; cu in) twin-turbocharged V8 engine, essentially a rework of McLaren's previous engine. However, the stroke has been lengthened by mm to increase the capacity and 41% of the engine's components are new. The engine produces 720 PS (710 bhp; 530 kW) at 7,000 rpm, giving the car its name; the maximum torque is 568 lb⋅ft (770 N⋅m) at 5,500 McLaren 720S can accelerate from 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in seconds and 0–124 mph (0–200 km/h) in seconds.[8] The 720S can achieve a maximum speed of 212 mph (341 km/h),[7] and has a 1⁄4 mile (402 m) time of seconds. Recent tests indicate a 1⁄4 mile (402 m) time as little as seconds.[citation needed] These performance figures make the car faster than most hyper cars.[6] The 720S's handling is improved with McLaren's Proactive Chassis Control II, which is the culmination of five years of research at the University of Cambridge by PhD students.[5] The 720S also comes with Variable Drift Mode, which manipulates the stability control to help drift the car.[9] The McLaren 720S has a power to dry weight ratio of kg ( lb) per horsepower, which is better than the McLaren 675LT ( kg ( lb) per horsepower), and the Ferrari F12tdf ( kg ( lb) per horsepower). he McLaren 720S features twin-hinged dihedral doors and many design features from the McLaren F1. The headlights hide air vents that funnel incoming air to two small radiators in front of the wheels. The doors feature air channels that direct air to the engine. The rear of the car features thin LED tail-l
