McLaren 650S to make Geneva debut

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

The McLaren 650S will be the star of the British brand’s display at the 2014 Geneva motor show, it has been confirmed.

At this stage McLaren has revealed little other than the name, and a close-up shot of the car’s badge. It says, however, that the 650S “takes learnings from both the 12C as well as the sell-out McLaren P1 and will be positioned between the two on McLaren Automotive’s supercar grid”.

Media rumours suggest the new car is a modified version of the 12C (above), with updated styling influenced by the P1 (below) and a range of chassis and equipment tweaks.

The name is believed to refer to the power output, suggesting that it will have an upgraded version of the 12C’s turbocharged 3.8-litre V8 engine, with power boosted from 625hp to 650hp.

McLaren has previously said that it plans to launch a new model each year and the 650S will follow the introduction of the 12C in 2011, 12C Spider in 2012 and P1 in 2013.

Prices for the 650S are likely to be about £20,000 higher than those of the 12C, which costs from £176,000.
