The weight penalty is massive. Crazy to think that a 765LT is essentially 1,000lbs lighter with not much of a HP penalty (they are dyno'ing around 780 at the wheels so making close to 900).
My hope is that at some point before petrol engines more or less die off (2030?) we can reach a point where EV tech is substantially lighter and we get a few good years of semi-lightweight hybrids. Maybe just in time for the Reveulto SVJ or whatever they decide to pump out.
McLaren seems to be trying hard to keep the weight down so kudos to them - the Artura is clocking in at only 3400 pounds and that bodes well for whatever the 720 replacement will be.
