720HP McLaren 720S vs 700HP Porsche 911 GT2 RS – Video

The McLaren 720S embodies our relentless quest to push the limits of possibility. Lighter, stronger, faster. It’s all of these and more. But how it makes you feel is altogether something else. Prepare to push the limits of what you thought possible in a supercar.

The beating heart of the 720S is a new and fearsomely powerful M840T engine with 720PS. Press the start button and the twin-turbo V8 comes alive with a potent growl that ignites your senses and focuses your mind. Bathed in vibrant red light, every part of this 4.0-litre unit is refined to maximise power, sharpen responses, and increase fuel efficiency.

Porsche unleashed the new 700 horsepower 911 GT2 RS at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England on Friday.

That translates to a manufacturer claimed 0-60 mph time of just 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph.

According to Porsche, this is the fastest and most powerful road-going version of the 911 to date.
