Like every McLaren, the 650s has a carbon fiber MonoCell as its backbone, that is extremely light but also extremely strong. It also provides very responsive steering while still retaining a exceptional ride. Behind the rear seats, like a real sports car, sits a McLaren 3.8 liter V-8 with twin-turbochargers that produces 641hp and 500 ft-lb of torque which is spread from 3000-700rpm. That is awesome because you can drive it around town at low rpm while still having power at high rpm, best of both worlds. The power from that little V-8 (2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a 4.0L V-6) goes to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox that offers near instantaneous gear shifts. To help the 650s slow down from its top speed of 207mph or after accelerating from 0-60 in just 3 seconds, there are carbon breaks at all four corners and an air break in the back just in case.
Open the dihedral doors to the 650s to find a luxurious and comfortable interior. The 650s is not a minimalist on the inside with available options like a back up camera and electrically adjusting steering column. However the seats are still light and sporty while still being comfortable, just like they should be. The steering wheel is also like the seats: light and sport but also comfortable.
McLaren has done it again. They have made a awesome looking sports car that, hopefully, will perform extremely well both off and on the track. Unfortunately it will most likely be too expensive for us common folk, but someday...
yes.
