Product Overview

McLaren 650S is a high-performance sports car in production from 2014 to 2017. It was available with several tunes of a bi-turbocharged V8 engine that displaced 3.8 liters paired to a 7-speed DCT that sends power to the rear wheels.
Equipped with the same engine found in the McLaren 12C, the 650C is just an evolution. It was also sold as 625C and 675LT, with the numbers denoting the engine output.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the McLaren 650S comes with double-wishbone suspensions at all four corners.

Reviewer score 100% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from carmagazine have found:
A substantial 25% of parts are new, yet it only costs £24k more than the 12C coupe. A P1-style nose and side skirts help develop 40% more high-speed downforce without racking up the drag coefficient. There are lighter forged alloys, standard carbon-ceramic brakes (with much-improved pedal feel) and the option of fixed bucket seats inspired by the P1's space-age chairs.
Pros
  • Impressive acceleration
  • Impressive ride quality
Cons
  • More expensive than a 12C
  • Fiddly infotainment

Reviewers from topgear have found:
V8 has new heads, pistons and cams plus bigger rads and a new exhaust. That means 650bhp and a socking 500lb ft oftorque. Car has P1-type styling, a surprisingly modified chassis, carbon-ceramic brakes as standard, and carbon fibre doors.
Pros
  • Powerful V8
  • Stunningly fast
Cons
  • Engine isn’t the best
