Maybe with a tune & higher boost pressure.

I thought he implied that stock config of 720s dyno'd at that. Very curious. FikseGTS?

Well, you know the saying about beauty, eyes, and beholders.......I think it really comes alive in person, and in certain colors, such as this MSO Saros Grey. I may be biased a bit since this was after I just ran a 2:27 at COTA with barely 300 miles on the odometer, and it performs beautifully. Any aesthetic gaffes were easily forgiven the second I blew by a well driven, modded Huracan on the back straight. I thought he let off......he didn't.

no, this was a baseline run done at Fabspeed with a customers 720S... the 650S puts down 569 WHP on their dyno, so 700 WHP is a big number.... this makes the 146 MPH traps that top gear got seem doable...

I will be able to test one soon and see...

So just to summarize the 720S.

Traps 146 in the quarter mile
Dynos 700 at the wheels
Runs Viper ACR like lap times
Comfortable for long road trips

Seems like an alright car.
