BMW S1000RR Takes On A McLaren 720S

Does the BMW S1000RR have a chance of beating a McLaren 720S in a drag race? The 720S, despite not being the latest McLaren supercar, remains impressive with its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 generating 710 HP and 558 lb-ft of torque. Weighing 3,128 pounds, the car can swiftly accelerate like a missile on the road.

On the other hand, the S1000RR motorcycle is no slouch either, featuring a 999 cc inline-four engine with 199 HP and 83 lb-ft of torque. Despite its lower power figures compared to the 720S, the S1000RR only weighs 459 lbs, making it agile and thrilling to ride.

While it may not match the insanity of the Kawasaki Ninja H2, pushing the S1000RR to its limits on the road would be an adventurous feat. Watch what happens when these impressive machines challenge each other in a series of drag races courtesy of the DragTimes YouTube channel.
