Plenty of people have driven the local demo 720S, it is constantly in and out on demo runs. I got an invite when I was there on friday; but I was with PP at the time.

I don't think you need to drive it to know that it is aimed at being a usable daily driver. If you have driven the earlier 12C/650S and the more focused  675LT you can see where it fits in the McLaren family. If I'm wrong after I drive it I'll let you know; but I'm sure my initial analysis is on the money.
I did say anyone 'on here'  :) as no one has talked real drive as yet, I'm soon to drive the Sydney demo myself, so be interesting to compare notes  ;)

Going by some previous new models I don't think its a sure thing that 675LT is a better drive than 720S, IMO you're on the money with your later post 720LT will be better than 675LT  :thumbsup:

Interesting comments from Samc:

"Yesterday had a few laps on track with the 720s (after tracking my LT all day) and it is clearly faster and smoother but it was also sharper. Didnt expect that.

Still very different feel than the LT which i am loving every trackday more and more, but think after a session or two I would be faster around hockenheim with the 720 than with the LT that I have been driving all morning and knowing the car for 1,5 years now. "

The other factor though, mentioned by both 360c and Shack in earlier posts, is that you can't put the roof down on the 720S.

Interesting read.
May the Horse be with you....

You're lucky Pete, I'm told I'm loopy all the time. ;)

Gotta love the kids.  My little bloke is doing burnouts with his radio controlled Aventador on the kitchen table as I type. :)
