McLaren 650S supercar has been revealed quite recently at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. In 2015, it will be entered for all GT3 races, including FIA GT World Championship and Le Mans endurance series. The new sports car will replace the MP4–12C model, which had 51 career wins and climbed the podium 71 times.
In what way is it different? It still has a 3.8-litre eight-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine delivering 500 hp, however, engine cooling system has been upgraded and the radiator has been relocated. It is fitted with a six-speed sequential gearbox.
McLaren 650S has a 52mm wider track, modified front suspension, and lighter and more robust roll cage. It also features six-piston callipers and 380mm discs at the front, with a four-piston setup at the rear over 355mm discs.
But McLaren is not going to stop here. Quite soon, the company plans to build a 1000-hp track-focused P1 hybrid with an expected price tag of $3.35 million.
