Just watched the new ignition. The 720S is no joke, they’re calling it the game changer and best supercar “boss”.

I wonder how the new Ferrari will do. I mean McLaren will have its own 750S BrownAle version right away for even more hooliganisms.

Willow springs lap record - 918@1:23.57 or so

Now at 1:21.75 and McLaren couldn’t get the trofeo tires to the boys in time. Therefore record was on dealer stock Pirelli. Lol.

0-60 2.5
1/4 10.1@141+

This is a very typical supercar cycle. The P1, LaFerrari and 918 are 5 years old already, it's no surprise that cheaper cars are starting to surpass them, this has been happening forever. McLaren has the P15 coming to replace the old P1 and it should sit above the 720S. Ferrari is doing the same thing with their 488GTB, it's rumored to be faster than the LaFerrari and will be a tiny fraction of the price. 720S is a wicked car for sure :thumbsup:

With downpipes and a tune they run 9s in the 1/4 at about 145

Those crazy almost one off cars are so wacko and unobtainable I just can't get interested

You mean it is a tiny fraction of the price? I drove one in Vegas at the end of last year... just so... so incredible. It makes you reconsider live choices, like having a family and buying a house.

Yes sorry, wrong tense :) Can't wait for when I can get down to Vegas and try out a couple myself.

I think this generation of supercars in general is setting the bar.

Same going on in the sport car zone. A Camaro runs 7:16 at the ring?? Wtf.
