Watch A McLaren 720S Hit 202mph Like It's Nothing
We all know by now that the McLaren 720S is outrageously fast. We’ve seen one lay down a nine-second standing quarter-mile, another greatly exceed its quoted power figure on the dyno, and, erm, people getting caught out by that understated output and crash.
But even so, this POV autobahn run makes for compelling viewing. Why? Because of the way this 720S so easily accelerates up to incredible speeds.
Around the 3min mark, the driver is seen accelerating from 150kmh to just under 300kmh (92mph to 186mph), something the car manages with shocking ease. He has to back off again, before going to another run that tops out at 325kmh on the speedometer, or 202mph in old money.
720S: keep doing what you’re doing.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Almost happy I can’t afford one of these, I’d just get in so much trouble
Oi you are back
I’d be dead. No ifs or buts about it.
I can’t explain how much I love the 720S unless I show this screenshot of my Google Assistant feed
Karaoke has a meaning!?
BAMBOOZLED
I love how you can daily drive this no problem, then hit 202 mph no problem, and then track it and keep up with hypercars. All while looking beautiful. Dreeeeaaammm caaarrrr
It seems so light and responsive
The first time I’ve seen a POV driving vlog that shows exactly what I’d see if I’d drive one and have the seat in “tall person-mode”… man I hate being short sometimes… although, atleast I fit in a Ford GT40 and BMW M1 (references to TG and Car SOS)
An ordinary sunday afternoon on the Autobahn…
Throttle pedal: oi I think this guy wants to light speed
M840T: aight sure no worries m8
pffffhhhh, watch my Civic hit 202 like its nothing…and by nothing I mean it can’t because 202 doesn’t exist on a (my) Civic
Step 1. Buy a Civic Type R
Step 2. Make sure it’s european, so it has km/h
Step 3. Cover the km/h on the dash with a m/h sticker
Step 4. ???
Step 5. Profit
Just imagine you’re doing 155 in a bmw and someone passes you doing 50 more than you’re doing
its something to that guys wallet
