Car and Driver got their hands on new McLaren GT which in turn gives us some data. The GT is heavy for a McLaren at 3464 pounds but it is supposed to be a heavier and softer Grand Touring car that is more relaxing to drive. ...Published on 03-23-2020 04:01 PM
Yes, that is a 1/4 mile run just shy of breaking into the 8's with just catless downpipes and a tune for race gas. The McLaren 720S M840T platform is truly remarkable and McLaren rest the standard by which stock and modified cars are measured. ...Published on 03-23-2020 02:36 PM
McLarenBoost is not familiar with Mega 3 Performance Engineering but they certainly are doing things to get the attention of those in the McLaren Tuning world. How about bored and sleeved blocks with 4.0 and 4.2 liter displacements available? ...Published on 03-20-2020 02:33 PM
Turbo lag? It can be a problem in a race when you need power instantly against a powerful opponent where waiting to spool can cost you the victory. Well, M-Engineering has a solution for McLaren 720S M840T owners which will hold up to 30 psi of boost until you tell it to let it loose. ...Published on 03-17-2020 07:51 PM
Here we go again with Carwow but this race is being shared for one very important reason: It features the new C8 Audi RS7. We all want to see what the new RS7 brings to the table performance wise (if anything) with its new EA825 4.0 liter twin turbo V8. ...Published on 03-16-2020 02:02 PM
Realistic tuned McLaren 720S numbers here in positive DA and Florida humidity. Always note the conditions of a run on the dragstrip as negative DA winter numbers can be misleading. The run here on pump fuel is very impressive. ...Published on 03-16-2020 01:28 PM
The Esprit name is legendary. Lotus was doing lightweight mid-engine flat plane crank twin turbo V8 sports cars years before McLaren thought it would be cool. A new Esprit has everyone's attention but don't hold your breath. ...Published on 03-16-2020 01:01 PM
These two vehicles are actually pretty similar. You have two cars with twin turbo 3.8 liter powerlants. They both send their power to the rear wheels through a dual clutch gearbox. The engine is also behind the driver in each although obviously the Porsche is a rear engine layout. ...Published on 03-13-2020 01:52 PM
The Valentine 1 is well known in the industry but seemingly did not evolve all that much. People love the arrows showing where a threat is coming from but law enforcement techniques and technology evolve as well meaning an update to the V1 was due. ...Published on 03-13-2020 09:15 AM
The coronavirus claims another victim in the sporting world. Not a person but event as pretty much every sporting gathering imaginable is being cancelled. The writing was on the wall when McLaren pulled out but it took Formula 1 some time to decide to cancel the season opener. ...Published on 03-12-2020 10:41 AM
Things sure seem to be snowballing with the Coronavirus. The sporting world saw several events cancelled and even major sporting seasons suspended. Now McLaren is withdrawing from the start of the Formula 1 season. ...Published on 03-12-2020 10:05 AM
Independent numbers are always preferred over magazines and getting such results for the McLaren GT is great to see. This is of course supposed to be the new 'Grand Touring' McLaren that is larger and more comfortable but really it offers a ton of punch. ...Published on 03-11-2020 09:32 AM
At least the New York Auto Show is not cancelled like the 2020 Geneva show. The show is being moved to late August amid fears about spreading the coronavirus. This creates a problem of the show bumping up against other car major shows. ...Published on 03-10-2020 12:21 PM
These pictures come from Renaissance Speed who specializes in McLaren tuning. The importance of upgrading McLaren M838T and M840T connecting rods is going to become apparent in 2020 as McLarens are making big strides in power. ...Published on 03-04-2020 07:52 PM
If a tuner fails to mention they used nitrous on their record run, are they cheating? We know tuning is a competitive atmosphere and tuners do not want to reveal what they are doing to get an advantage. Not revealing a second power adder though seems dishonest. ...
