McLaren 720S

The McLaren 720S is a mid-engined supercar that acts as the successor to the McLaren 650S.

Overview
The 720S is powered by the new M840T engine, a 4.0 L (3,994 cc) twin-turbocharged V8 engine with at 7,000 rpm and  at 5,500 rpm. While a revamped version of the previous M838T 3.8 L (3,799 cc) engine, 41% of the engine's components are new and the stroke has been lengthened by 3.6 mm for increased capacity.

With a dry weight of and curb weight of, the 720S is the lightest car in its class, subsequently resulting in a maximum power-to-weight ratio of  per tonne.

The 720S is capable of 0 - 60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.7 seconds, 0 - 100 mph (161 km/h) in 5.5 seconds, and a maximum speed of 212 mph (341 km/h). While officially claimed to have a 1/4-mile time of 10.3 seconds, the 720S is actually capable of 1/4-mile times as low as 9.7 seconds.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The McLaren 720S was added in the Fifth Anniversary Update as a high-end Class A car with the following rank statistics:


 * Starting rank: 1369
 * MAX rank: 1634
 * MAX+PRO rank: 1784
 * This is the current highest in Class A, excluding Elite Tuning.
 * Tuning Kit bonus: +50
 * Speed Multiplier: 95.71%
 * Stock to MAX+PRO rank difference: 415
 * Upgrade rank percentages: 20/30/15/35
 * Nitro Efficiency: 5/10/15

Performance
The 720S's performance is based on those of the McLaren 675LT and 9FF GT9 VMAX, but with improved top speed, acceleration, and handling. It has a real total speed of 307.0 mph/494.4 km/h at MAX+PRO with Tuning Kit, higher than the SIN R1 and Rezvani Beast Alpha (306.2 mph/493.0 km/h), McLaren P1™ GTR (304.4 mph/490.1 km/h), Pagani Huayra BC (304.0 mph/489.5 km/h), and McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 (303.5 mph/488.7 km/h). The 720S is inferior to the Aston Martin Vulcan, Rezvani Beast Alpha, Apollo Intensa Emozione, and 2018 McLaren X2, but may be able to compete with the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV, Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach Package, and Arrinera Hussarya GT.

Usage
In terms of competitiveness in Events, being only 6.2 mph/10.0 km/h faster than the 675LT the 720S isn't necessarily the best choice, as the MP4-25 and Rezvani Beast A still have faster overall acceleration, and the 720S only has marginally lower total speed than the W Motors Fenyr SuperSport with 307.2 mph/494.7 km/h. The 720S, on the other hand, is now the fastest non-racing McLaren in the game, beating the P1™ GTR, and does not come with restrictive availability unlike the Rezvani Beast A, requiring 45 Rare Blueprints instead of being only available in its Special Event.

The 720S awards in its last Mastery Challenge, unlike other vehicles in the game.

Usage (Multiplayer)
As a departure from the heavily top speed and nitro-biased upgrade rank distribution of 2/55/2/41 that McLaren cars generally use (except the 12C and MP4/8), the 720S has an upgrade rank distribution of 20/30/15/35, which greatly increases its multiplayer competitiveness, even more so against the SIN R1. The 720S is capable of competition against the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage, Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS, and Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Special Edition.
