Possibly, but I think the LT will beat it from a roll.I think it will beat the 765LT in the 1/4 mile and the rest anyway. That launch is devastating. You can almost feel the time around the car slow down. And the fact that it was able to hang with a 1000+hp TT R8 for a bit.
Here is another video with Brooks racing a 720S against the 918 and its pretty close. The acceleration Vbox times of the 918 are close to the SF90 and it did 9.79sec at 143mph on a drag strip.Interesting! Let's also do a comparison with the 918:
SF90
0-100kph: 2.5s
0-200kph: 7s
0-235kph: 9.62s
0-240kph: 10s
0-260kph: 11.9s
1/4: 9.62@146mph
918 (Autobild Sportscars test)
0-100kph: 2.6s
0-200kph: 7s
0-236kph: 9.99s <-probably from a different run
0-240kph: 10s
0-260kph: 12.2s
1/4: 9.99@146.6mph
The fastest quarter mile 918 test was from Auto.it with 9.83@148.2mph (238.5kph) and 2.5s 0-100. Their data only goes to 180kph, though. 0-160: 4.86s; 0-180: 5.87s.
Overall, the cars are fairly close, but the SF90 does seem to have the edge. It's interesting that the 918 traps higher, suggesting the SF90 has a much better launch to gain the fairly big time advantage, but there is only 0.1s difference to 100 and the 0-200 and 0-240 times are identical. The 918 was about 1650kg and had 887PS, resulting in about 540PS/t. The SF90 has 1000PS and is a bit faster, so you would expect 550-560PS/t. That would put the SF90 weight at 1785-1820kg.
EDIT: Also worth mentioning is the fact that over 200kph aerodynamics start to come to play and the car with more power will accelerate faster regardless of power to weight. So the SF90 might even be a bit heavier and have the same PS/t as the 918.
Mhm. Few tenths slower than the SF90... but not a Weissach Package car. Then again I am not sure the SF90 Brooks was testing had the "Fiorano Package"...Here is another video with Brooks racing a 720S against the 918 and its pretty close. The acceleration Vbox times of the 918 are close to the SF90 and it did 9.79sec at 143mph on a drag strip.

Considering the report of the McLaren's engine dyno testing where the estimated at-the-crank power is over 850 HP, I don't see it as having much less power, and what matters more is the weight to power ratio, where the Ferrari may be around 400 kg heavier, which means that the McLaren may have a higher power figure if you consider that it has less mass to push around.I think the 765LT seems more impressive since it has much less power and also only RWD.
Looking at it one way, the SF90 gets to 146mph faster but looking at it another way, the difference in the 0-146mph time is 0.13s less than the difference in the 0-60mph time.Here is comparison with the 765LT, as can see the McLaren initially starts off with a 0.4sec disadvantage to 60mph but from there after closes the gap. I think the 765LT seems more impressive since it has much less power and also only RWD.
On 21:20 acceleration 160-297 kph
Well we don't know that for sure, there's no reason it should weigh more than a 918 really, but given their claims for the LaFerrari, such assumptions can be forgiven.Ferrari dry weight is quoted at 1570 kg.
Meaning actual weight will be at best 1850 kg with tank of fuel.
