I haven't driven the 720S yet (would love to but I do not want to bother my local McLaren dealer when I clearly know that I wouldn't get one right now) but so far, I haven't encountered a single turbo charged car which completely lacks a turbo lag and/or comes even close to the spontaneous throttle response of my R8. This includes the 488 and the 991.2 Turbo S, also the latest 991.2 CS. I am pretty sure that McLaren hasn't re-invented the turbo charged engine, so there certainly is a lag but if it is much better than on the previous 650S or even 12C, this would already be a huge improvement. Let's be real here: The 720S is not your typical track car, so a little bit of turbo lag won't really matter.
