2015 McLaren 650S Review
Designed to become the brands new flagship super-coupe, the 650S is pretty much stealing the 12Cs thunder. Whyd they do that? The 12C is a perfectly capable performance car, so why shove it out of the way? In the 650Ss defense, the 650S has 641 hp, 25 more than the 12C. It also does 0-60 faster, in a more-than-substantial 2.8 seconds, which matches the Porsche 911 Turbo S and beats the Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari F12, which is what McLaren hoped to achieve. The engine displacement stays the same, with a relatively small 3.8 liters. I was in L.A. this past week and I saw a shiny-new 650S in downtown Beverly Hills. It looks nice in pictures, but in person, it just shows the 12C up in styling. It was gorgeous. Compared to some of the other sports cars I saw there, that car was by far the most beautiful. And it has every right to be, thanks to its P1 hypercar cousin and F1 ancestor, which are both incredible to look at.
BTW: Ive been in L.A. for the past week (like I mentioned), so I havent been able to post as consistently as I usually do.
