0-100 på tre sekunder blankt
I helgen läckte bilder på McLaren 650S ut och idag har det blivit dags för bilen att presenteras officiellt. Och det kunderna får är i princip en kraftigt faceliftad version av 12C.650S ska dock inte enbart vara en uppsminkad bil och det sägs att 25% av delarna är nya. Det nya utseendet ska ge bilen ytterligare 40% downforce och eftersom kylningen har förbättrats har man kunnat skruva upp effekten ur den dubbelturbomatade V8:an på 3.8 liter med 25 hästar - till 650. Vridet ökar även det med 80 Nm och ligger i den här på 678. Växlingarna ska gå snabbare och gasresponsen ska vara rappare. 0-100 km/h ska gå på tre sekunder blankt och till 200 ska man komma på bara 8.4 sekunder. Toppfarten anges till 333 km/h och skulle man vilja bromsa ner till noll när man befinner sig i den hastigheten står man still efter 271 meter tack vare de keramiska bromsarna. I övrigt har modellen 22% styvare fjädring än 12C, uppdaterade dämpare och en ny och smartare Airbrake. Mängder av livebilder från en privat visning och mer information finns på länken.

Pressmeddelande
McLaren Automotive releases first images of
the 650S Coupé ahead of Geneva reveal
• Designed and developed to give the enthusiast driver the ultimate in luxury,
engagement and excitement
• The McLaren 650S will offer the widest breadth of capabilities of any supercar
• Coupé and Spider, with electrically retractable hardtop, to be available from
Spring 2014 launch
• Joins McLaren’s range of supercars above 12C, which continues on sale
• Uniquely enhanced active aerodynamics and ProActive Chassis Control
systems optimise the capabilities and usability
McLaren Automotive will return to the International Geneva Motor Show this year
with its fastest, most engaging, best equipped and most beautiful series-production
supercar yet.
The McLaren 650S joins the range as an additional model alongside the 12C
and sold-out McLaren P1™, and learns from both models as well as 50 years of
competing in the highest levels of motorsport. Available as a fixed-head coupé or as
a Spider, with a retractable folding hard top, the McLaren 650S promises to redefine
the high performance supercar segment, and has been designed and developed to
provide the ultimate in driver engagement on the road and on the race track.
The 650S badge designation refers to the power output – 650PS (641 bhp), - of
the unique British-built McLaren M838T twin turbo V8 engine. ‘S’ stands for ‘Sport’,
underlining the focus and developments made to handling, transmission, drivability
and engagement. Performance figures will be confirmed ahead of the Geneva Show
but will improve on the already rapid 12C which continues on sale.
The design is inspired by the McLaren P1™, previewing a new family design
language. The front bumper gives the McLaren 650S a dramatic, yet clean
appearance and sits below new LED headlamps which reflect a similar look to the
McLaren P1™. The more integrated front splitter contributes to increased levels of
1/5
downforce, giving a greater level of steering feeling and confidence to the driver on
turn-in, while also adding to the agility and the car’s handling balance. Unique door
blades behind the front wheels direct air from the trailing edges of the front splitter,
further benefiting front-end grip and vehicle balance.
The aerodynamic performance of the McLaren 650S is as efficient as the 12C,
boasting the same drag coefficient figure, yet the air is being worked harder and
more efficiently as it flows over, and through, the functional bodywork. At 150 mph,
downforce levels are increased by 24 percent.
‘As always with McLaren, the new design is there for good engineering reasons,’
says McLaren Automotive CEO Mike Flewitt. ‘The newly designed front bumper
improves downforce and steering turn-in. The high speed handling balance is now
even better. The LED lights use less power and last longer.
Unique side intakes behind the dihedral doors feed large, efficiently packaged,
radiators which help provide the cooling requirements of the mid-mounted, compact
engine. A new design five-spoke lightweight forged ‘650S’ alloy wheel is unique
to the model, and are fitted with Pirelli P Zero™ Corsa tyres to offer optimised
roadholding, handling and driver feedback – the bespoke ‘MC1’ branded tyres have
been developed alongside the McLaren 650S by McLaren technology partner Pirelli,
and offer strong performance in normal road conditions and on track.
The McLaren 650S builds on experience from success on the track, and
groundbreaking technologies fitted to other McLaren models. Active aerodynamics,
which feature on both the 12C and McLaren P1™, have been further developed and
honed to ensure the ultimate performance and ability for the McLaren 650S. The
McLaren Airbrake, originally fitted to the 12C and 12C Spider and designed to offer
optimised levels of downforce on the rear of the car, now operates with a greater
level of functionality providing increased stability. The newly developed system
means the Airbrake deploys whenever the car senses extra downforce is advisable
– rather than simply under braking or when manually operated in ‘Aero’ mode. Below
the Airbrake, a distinctive rear three-piece bumper, similar to the GT3 racing version
2/5
of the 12C, compliments the aerodynamic shaping of the McLaren 650S.
The pioneering ProActive Chassis Control (PCC) suspension system, developed
by McLaren, has been further enhanced for the McLaren 650S. A feature of the
system is the ability to adjust the ride and handling modes – Normal / Sport / Track
– in isolation from the drivetrain, which gives complete freedom in terms of ride and
handling. These settings, for both powertrain and suspension, have been recalibrated
to improve driver engagement. The updates are especially noticeable in Sport mode.
‘McLaren is a fast moving company, continually striving for improvements and
technical advantages. We are always seeking to innovate, to be the class leaders,
to bring new technologies and thinking to market. That’s our Formula 1 heritage
shining through,’ explains Mike Flewitt. ‘Everything we’ve learnt from the 12C and the
McLaren P1™ has gone into the design and development of the McLaren 650S.’
The McLaren 650S is designed to be the best and most engaging driver’s car in
its class, yet it is not a stripped out road racer. Ride comfort and refinement are to
executive saloon standards. The McLaren 650S models are equipped with IRIS
satellite navigation with Bluetooth telephony, DAB digital radio (SIRIUS satellite radio
in North America), wireless tethering, audio streaming and voice control as standard,
while also offering enhanced levels of optional specification than previously offered.
Options include fixed-back carbon racing seats, based on the lightweight design
found in the McLaren P1™, an electric steering column adjustment assisting ingress
and egress, a rear parking camera and extended carbon fibre throughout the interior.
The global reveal of the McLaren 650S Coupé and Spider will take place on Stand
1240, Hall 1 at 12.00CET (11.00GMT) on Tuesday, 4 March 2014 at the 84th
