McLaren 720S Performance Overview
McLaren’s 720S defines its performance profile within a brief 2018 to 2019 production span, covered here by 4 verified tests across two model years. From launch, the car arrived with the M840T 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 rated at 710 hp, and every recorded example in this dataset uses that gasoline powertrain. The opening benchmark also remained the quickest: the 2018 Coupe reached 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, establishing the model’s fastest recorded sprint, while its quarter-mile result of 9.9 seconds at 148.2 mph set the high-water mark for straight-line acceleration in this production run.
That early Coupe result anchored the range as testing broadened across the same generation. Other 2018 and 2019 Coupe runs stayed in the low-10-second quarter-mile window, contributing to an average of 10.13 seconds at 144.4 mph across all tests. By 2019, the Spider expanded the lineup without changing the underlying engine formula; its added open-top configuration brought the slowest recorded 0-60 time in the set at 2.8 seconds. Even so, the model’s full recorded spread remained narrow, from 2.5 to 2.8 seconds, and the current endpoint of this page’s data is still the 2019 Spider’s 2.8-second 0-60 on the same 710-hp twin-turbo V8 architecture.

How we verify McLaren 720S performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same McLaren 720S trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
