    765LT and 620R slower than 720S/600LT heart

    Tracktest in the new Sport Auto:

    Laptime Hockenheim GP: 1:46,2 min
    (Driver: Christian Gebhardt, conditions: air: 20°C, track: 22°C)
    Tires: Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R
    Weight: 1404 kg


    Comments from Gebhardt: A lot of oversteer, lack of grip and stability, therefore even slower than 720S Track Pack with Trofeo's
    They also tested the 620R, which had a lot of understeer and was 0,5s slower than 600LT (1:49,4 min)


    Other laptimes:
    1:40,8...McLaren Senna (Trofeo R)
    1:43,3...Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series (Cup 2 R)
    1:43,5...Manthey-Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR (Cup 2 R)
    1:45,5...McLaren 720S Track Pack (Trofeo R)
    1:45,9...Ferrari 488 Pista (Cup 2 R)
    1:46,0...a-workx-Porsche 911 GT3 RS (Cup 2 R)
    1:46,2...McLaren 765LT (Trofeo R)
    1:47,3...Lamborghini Aventador SVJ (Trofeo R)
    1:47,8...Porsche 911 Turbo S (992, P Zero)....Supertest coming up next issue (Dec 18th)
    1:48,0...Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro (Cup 2 ZP)
    1:48,5...Mercedes-AMG GT R (Cup 2 ZP)
    1:48,9...McLaren 600LT (Trofeo R)
    1:49,0...Lamborghini Huracán Evo (Trofeo R)
    1:49,4...McLaren 620R (Trofeo R)
    1:50,0...Porsche 911 Turbo S (991.2, P Zero Corsa)

    Why is the 765LT (1.46,2 min) slower than the 720S (1.45,5 min)? The 720S with Track Pack / Trofeo R had a very well balanced setup with perfect traction and a good drivability. In the 765LT it was the opposite. First problem: Entry oversteer when the steering input is a tiny bit too sharp (You have to work very, very sensitive on the steering wheel at the corner entry). Second problem: Less traction and snappy oversteer during accelerating out of the corner.

    Why is the 620R (1.49,4 min) slower than the 600LT (1.48,9 min)? Less topspeed in the 620R than in the 600LT (Parabolica: 600LT 271 km/h, 620R 259 km/h).

    I don't think a Chiron would qualify as 'wild', as I assume it is controlled...

    a Chiron is just a fast train, not very exciting car neither a track weapon - more a status. the new one might provide a different experience with only 1200kg but it is not road legal.

    back to 765LT it must be a tough ride compared to 720S and wild is what LT is about, I think.Smiley

    The 720S has "only" 45 hp less and it is quite manageable. I think McLaren intentionally f.cked up the setup to make the car more challenging but this is no fun then. The "tdf" is no different, amazing car but I haven't heard of many people enjoying it on a track.

    Re: Mclaren 765LT

    It's the lack of proper sound...... I drove a friend's 720S a few weeks ago and was surprised how unexciting it was on the streets. Maybe it's different on a nice winding road but yes


    Re: Mclaren 765LT

    Push the 720 you don't think about the sound since you are so focused on what's going on ahead of you and the shift lights since they come at you so quickly. It's only when you are at 2-5/10s you notice the sound could have more bark. I am sure the 765 given my 600LT drive is just terrifying as it should be for a 2WD near 800hp lightweight monster

    All these power monsters aren't much fun on public roads, especially not in speed limited countries. Unless of course you love unstable driving conditions like drifting or whatever but this can go wrong on public roads on so many levels. Smiley I consider the 720S to be the perfect Autobahn monster, there is barely a car on this planet to beat the 720S on the Autobahn. Not my thing though.

    The red looks incredible on that picture, that is a particularly good pic and no doubt has good lighting and maybe some filters.... I thought I wanted red either Memphis or Volcano after seeing similar pics but after seeing a couple in the wild I changed my mind, in normal UK (anyway) daylight it doesn't look that great and add a bit of dirt and it doesn't wear it well IMO.
