Bloggers from the DragTimes YouTube channel measured the power of the $370,000 McLaren 765 LT supercar, and as it turned out, the manufacturer clearly underestimates the official specifications. So much so that the coupe was faster than the $1 million-plus flagship Senna hypercar.
The premiere of the McLaren 765 LT took place in March 2020, it differs from the 720 S model in a weight reduced by 80 kilograms, a more powerful V8 engine with 765 hp. (with a constant volume of 4.0 liters), as well as developed aerodynamics.
McLaren also claims the 765 LT is capable of hitting the popular 1/4 mile in 9.9 seconds. According to bloggers who evaluated the capabilities of the 765 LT, the supercar overcomes a distance of 1/4 mile in 9.43 seconds, while its engine produces 780 hp on the dyno. on the wheels, which means that the return from the flywheel reaches about 885-900 hp.
Those specs allow the $370,000 765 LT to overtake the $1.1 million-plus straight Senna hypercar. The motor of the latter, according to official information, develops 789 hp, it conquers a distance of 1/4 mile in 9.9 seconds.
All this suggests that McLaren clearly needs to reconsider the capabilities of their cars and their price tags. Although the Senna hypercar is still focused on circuit racing, as evidenced by its developed aerodynamic body kit, it clearly should not lose sprint races in a straight car with a price three times cheaper.
