The latest addition to the McLaren range accelerates to 100km/h (62mph) from rest in just 3.0 seconds, and can reach 200km/h (124mph) in just 8.4 seconds. This represents a sprint time to 200 km/h more than half a second quicker than the 12C.

These figures are possible thanks to the V8 Twin Turbo 3.8 liter 650hp engine, mated to a 7-speed SSG transmission.

Carbon ceramic brakes sit behind unique ‘650’ lightweight alloy wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres, IRIS satellite navigation with Bluetooth telephony, DAB digital radio in Europe (SIRIUS satellite radio in North America), wireless tethering, audio streaming and voice control are all fitted as standard, and the cabin is trimmed in Alcantara.

Enhanced levels of optional specification are also offered.
