2018 McLaren 720S: 212 MPH

The 2018 McLaren 720S
McLaren's first (and, for many years, only) foray into road cars, the F1 of the 1990s,
is still widely considered the greatest car ever made, so it's safe to
say the company has a lot to live up to. And its most recent offerings
have shown an incredibly fast maturing process since jumping back into
the game with the MP4-12C in 2011—most notably with the incredible new top-of-the-line McLaren 720S.
The $288,475 mid-engined supercar hits 212 mph thanks in part to some
insane aerodynamic trickery and, of course, the 4.0-liter V-8, enlarged
from 3.8 liters in the outgoing McLaren 650S, with its explosive 710
horsepower and 568 pound-feet of twist. Gear changes from the
seven-speed dual-clutch transmission are up to 45 percent faster than in
the 650S, too, and the numbers only get more ludicrous from there: 2.8
seconds to 60 mph; 7.8 seconds to 124 mph; a 10.3-second quarter-mile;
and zero to 186 mph in just 21.4 seconds. As the English say, Blimey!
