The McLaren 720S Has Finally Been Beaten In A Rolling Drag

The McLaren 720S has proved how ridiculously, face-bendingly fast it is against all sorts of machines, most recently out-dragging a Dodge Demon from a rolling start – a race that wasn’t even close.

Today, CTzens, we can bring you a video that was originally posted a few weeks ago, showing an informal rolling drag race between a 720S and a lightly tuned Kawasaki Ninja H2 motorbike. The 710bhp 4.0-litre V8 in the McLaren faces off against a 230bhp supercharged one-litre four-pot (although a ram-air effect boosts that to over 240bhp at speed). That is a very, very quick bike.

It’s a measure of the 720S’s epic, brutal acceleration that it gets the drop on the bike in both the rolling drags in this video, from what we think is about 40mph. It’s only after a second or two, when the Ninja gets into its stride, that it begins to dominate. That thing is a weapon. Needless to say, silly speeds are quickly achieved…
