McLaren 720S Debuts in Hong Kong

https://bcmagazine.smugmug.com/Bcene-photos/2017/McLaren-720s-Hong-Kong-Launch-29-June-2017/i-BDDhxv3

The first second generation McLaren supercar the 720S made it’s debut locally yesterday after it’s recent global launch at the Geneva Motor Show.

The mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat McLaren is the successor to the 650 Series. The completely redesigned carbon-fibre body is kilograms lighter than the previous edition. While the new twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine produces 720PS (hence the name) and 770Nm, with a power-to- weight ratio of up to 561PS per tonne.

What those numbers translate to, on roads where you can safely enjoy it, is 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds! And a top speed of 212 mph. 0-200 km/h takes 7.8 seconds, while braking from 200 km/h to standstill is almost half that, just 4.6 seconds and covering 117m.

Perhaps the most noticeable changes though are the sharp new profile with sculptured air intakes on the sides replacing the radiator and the increased amount of interior space. The 720S feels much bigger inside and is certainly easier to get into and out of.

Choose Life! Harvest Festival @ Sangwoodgoon - 22 March, 2015

“Are there still farm villages in Hong Kong? What kinds of people live there? Who can live there? What kind of ‘investments’ are needed to live such a live? Can I make a choice too? What can I choose from? What are the stories there? What about the place I live, the food I eat…are there any stories behind too?”

The Choose Life! Harvest Festival will feature various activities throughout the day including a “Farmer’s Dining Table” to illustrate the freedom of choice in food and eating, food cooked from plants harvested from this at Sangwoodgoon will be shared at one big dining table. A “Plant-rubbing Print Make Workshop” and “Stories of the Farming Village” will formate more appreciation and awareness of organic food.
