McLaren Automotive has released pictures and some details of the Mclaren 650S, its fastest production series supercar yet, ahead of its official unveil at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show 2014.
Available as a hardtop or as a convertible, the 650S is so called because it has 650PS (641bhp) on tap and it is therefore Sporting in its nature.
So much so that McLaren claims the car will redefine the high performance supercar segment. That’s an extremely big boast, but looking at what the company has achieved with the F1, Mercedes-McLaren SLR, 12C and P1, McLaren clearly isn’t in the business of hyperbole.
The car is based on the McLaren 12C but its looks are more in line with the current range-topping P1 hypercar, while performance falls in between.
McLaren has confirmed that the car has a twin-turbo V8 engine that is good for 0-62mph (100km/h) in just 3 seconds, a 0-125mph (200km/h) time of 8.4 seconds. And of course, as is now obligatory for all self-respecting supercars, a top speed in excess of 200mph.
