Lessons learned include the fact that anything wearing the McLaren nameplate is pretty difficult to get the jump on. Even if you have a ton more horsepower, it seems like anything in the McLaren lineup – with their above-average power-to-weight ratio – has the potential to jump out on you and take it to the stripe pretty hard. That being said, this primo (JDM) Nissan GTR ain’t conceding the victory. Not by a long shot. This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill Nissan GTR. The engine has been upgraded with a stroker kit that bumps it up (from a 2.6-liter) to Read More

Demonology versus Dragtimes. That’s what’s up! These two hardcore auto enthusiasts have brought out a pair of stallions to see which one can claim the title “King of the Quarter Mile”.

Both cars are modified for performance and both are rear-wheel drive. Which of them is up to the task? Let’s have a look. The McLaren 720S is prepared by 1K Motorsports in Ft. Myers, Florida.

From Britain, with love. Lightweight and scary fast, the 2019 McLaren 720S uses optimum horsepower and innovative aerodynamic prowess to achieve mind-numbing top end speed. With dihedral doors and a stunning aesthetic, the 720S is as beautiful as it is fast. A carbon-fiber monocoque tub make this a very stable supercar in spite of its vehicle weight of only 3,161-pounds. The heart of this gorgeous mid-engine, rear-wheel drive roadster is a twin turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 capable of producing 710hp and 568 lb.-ft. of torque.

The McLaren 720S is, on its face, one of the most intriguing high-performance sports cars on the market. With a 4.0-liter V8 engine capable of producing 710hp (from the factory), the stock 720S can achieve 60 mph (from a halt) in 2.7-seconds. Its modern, aerodynamic body panels and dihedral doors are enough to give this British bomb shell a spellbinding appearance. The car looks very fast, even when it is sitting still.
