asscelerator Report post Posted February 12, 2014 Ok, enough of the P1 Onto something a bit more approachable. "McLaren Automotive will reveal at the 84th International Geneva Motor Show the latest addition to its range of groundbreaking supercars - the McLaren 650S. Designed and developed to offer the enthusiast driver the ultimate in luxury, engagement and excitement, as well as dramatic yet beautiful styling, the McLaren 650S is the result of 50 years of competing, and winning, at the highest levels of motorsport. It 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. More details of the McLaren 650S will be announced in the run-up to the car’s global reveal which will take place on Stand 1240, Hall 1 at 12.00CET (11.00GMT), Tuesday 4 March 2014 in Geneva." http://media.mclarenautomotive.com/release/239/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRANSAMERA Report post Posted February 12, 2014 This the 911turbo competitor? Say what? A model between the MP4 and the P1 is more than a 911 competitor, no? Sounds more like a "lets crush everything below the few hypercars out there" modell, but 650 doesn't sound good enough for that IF it's in fact the actual HP figure Damn you Bruce Wayne, let me know now before I buy a Mac!!

asscelerator Report post Posted February 12, 2014 Actually it looks like the revised mp4. It's not the revised 12C. The 12C remains in the lineup. Supposedly a revised 12C will come at the end of the year. Might be on the same level as a Scuderia/Speciale/Superleggera?

BLK TONY Report post Posted February 12, 2014 Pretty sure this is the revised 12C, and they will reveal a lower model later. I heard that this will replace all 12C's, and then after that comes the entry level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortis Report post Posted February 12, 2014 Looking forward to seeing it, the word luxury shouldn't be used in describing a sports car but it's followed by dramatic styling so I am excited. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assman Report post Posted February 12, 2014 One can only hope! Have you seen it already? No I have not. Given their design history and your penchant for design I'm putting my money on the safe bet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortis Report post Posted February 12, 2014 No I have not. Given their design history and your penchant for design I'm putting my money on the safe bet. I think you are right but I like the P1, except the sound which is extremely boring , I am actually looking forward to see what they will come up with, I am hoping for a GT 3 radical styling, I think they've heard enough about their bland styling, clinical, unemotional drive, I can only hope they've taken that onboard, let's see.

Assman Report post Posted February 13, 2014 That is definitely the worst decision Mac has made The owner paid 7 million dollars for a one off version of a 12c. 6.5+ million profit on one car sounds like a great decision to me.
