Interesting test of 720S with track pack (not a huge change) by Catchpole.  His conclusions:  power is addictive, but maybe too much to enjoy in the real world?  and Sport series is for him the sweet spot in the range, with the best steering too.

He then prods the 720S throttle grins and muses that "having said that power is addictive|"

Whilst I do agree with him I'm not sure he is right (with the bit I quote) for most people as the 570S has already a huge amount of power and acceleration, 0-200kph in 8.5s 

I doubt he ever really wrung the 720 out to 8200rpm on the road during his test, those roads are totally unsuitable way to bumpy he may have managed a flat out 1st to 2nd gear change but really it is difficult to really use the 720's extra (over the 570) power on the road especially bumpy ones like that.
