The McLaren 720S Can Run 9s in the Quarter-Mile

It also does 0-100mph in 5.2 seconds. This car is very quick.



McLaren announced back in February that its newest supercar, the 720S, could run the quarter-mile in a scant 10.3 seconds. Now, owners are getting their hands on cars, and they're finding it can go even quicker.
Brooks from DragTimes recently took delivery of a 720S and decided to take it to the drag strip at Palm Beach International Raceway. On one of his passes, he was able to record a quarter-mile time of 9.98 seconds at 141 mph—more than 0.3 seconds quicker than the factory's time.
Brooks made it clear the car was completely unmodified, right down to the OEM P Zero tires. During the run, Brooks also recorded a 0-60 times of 2.5 seconds and a 0-100 times of 5.2 seconds. This is hypercar levels of performance. The car's 710-horsepower 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and 3128-pound wet weight might have something to do with it.
Watch for yourself as the 720S demolishes the drag strip.

Ahead of the LA Auto Show, peep into the 2019 CLS

Image
Mercedes-Benz doesn’t seem able to contain itself from showing us its redesigned CLS ahead of the debut in a little over a week at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. The third generation of the iconic fastback sedan has been testing in the wild for over a year and now we have our first clear look at the interior. It follows Saturday's first official look at the exterior. While the exterior of the car doesn’t appear to be straying far from the shapely albeit somewhat subdued lines of the outgoing model, the interior appears to be taking a marked step up in quality and design. The turbine-style air vents and digital dash looks very modern. You’ll also notice the dual screens, one for the instrument cluster and the other the infotainment system, are enclosed within a single pane of glass just like on the latest S-Class models. We’re still waiting for all the details but the new CLS, which goes on sale next year, as a 2019 model, is expected to be fitted a...
