Drifting McLaren 720S Covered Entirely In Christmas Lights Is A Sight To Behold

The McLaren 720S is already one of the more ostentatious supercars on the market, so how do you make it more so? You cover it in Christmas lights and take it drifting around city streets, that’s how, and it’s exactly what influencer Alex Choi did with his.

Choi managed to wrap the entire car with multicolored Christmas lights, from front splitter to rear diffuser, and the end result is a car so bright you can’t even make out its bodylines in the dark. Nevertheless, the lit-up McLaren certainly stands out, and we’d be curious to know how long it actually took to get all the lights on it.

The first video was shared by the videographer behind the project, @roninprojekts, to their Instagram page. In between the B-roll shots of tire smoke, paddle shifting, and Christmas lights flapping in the wind, it shows the 720S performing donuts, burnouts, and just general sliding about.

The whole video is set to remixed Christmas music, but the song we’re more interested in is that of the 720S’s 4.0L twin-turbo V8. Making 710 hp (720 PS / 530 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque, it propels the car from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 2.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 212 mph (341 km/h), and sounds good doing so.

In another behind-the-scenes video shared to Choi’s own Instagram page, the 720S can be seen drifting its way through a U-turn under an overpass, then accelerating hard out of it in a flurry of tire smoke. The move was certainly impressive, but not something we’d recommend on public roads. Thankfully, it seems as though the video was recorded late enough in the night that there wasn’t anyone around to potentially endanger.
