Coral Gables, FL – June 7, 2014 – You could hear the sweet engines roaring from afar as luxury car enthusiasts gathered at The Collection last weekend to test drive the McLaren 650S, McLaren’s newest model. Named after its twin-turbo 650PS powerplant, the new McLaren 650S breaks the mold: it’s sensational to drive, generously equipped and just as at home whether you’re targeting the next apex or comfortably covering long distances. It’s the brand’s ultimate luxury ‘super-car.’ To learn about all the incredible features this fiercely hot ride has to offer read below.

Uncompromised Design –  With dihedral doors, dramatic side intakes and stunning all-LED headlamps, the McLaren 650S has poster pin-up looks to match its breathtaking performance. The retractable hardtop roof in the 650S Spider has been painstakingly engineered to minimize weight and maintain an excellent center of gravity.

Proactive Chassis Control – Proactive Chassis Control (PCC) gives you the best of both worlds, from supple suspension in town to roll-free cornering on the racetrack for ultimate exhilaration. PCC is the most radical rethink of sports car suspension design in half a century, and addresses the conflicting objectives of dynamic handling and comfortable ride, to set new standards in both.

Active Aerodynamics-  You’ll love it because it looks gorgeous, but it took hundreds of hours of advanced computational fluid dynamics, weeks of wind tunnel testing and an obsession with perfection to create the breathtaking contours of the McLaren 650S. Every curve, every crease, every intake, every inch of the McLaren 650S is honed to improve aerodynamic performance.

Carbon Fiber Monocell – A huge part of the reason the McLaren 650S feels so intimately connected to the road is the carbon fiber MonoCell at its core. McLarenpioneered the use of carbon fiber in Formula 1 and in production road cars. For over 30 years, every car McLaren has made has had carbon fiber at its core.

Brake Steer – Banned from McLaren’s championship-winning MP4-13 Formula 1 car, the innovative Brake Steer system is applied on road or track by the McLaren650S. Brake Steer uses the rear brakes to subtly manage traction, minimize mid-corner understeer and control oversteer when you corner at speed, allowing you to unleash the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8’s full performance in maximum safety and to breathtaking effect.

Luxury Interior – Every inch of the McLaren 650S Carbon Black Alcantara interior has been meticulously optimized for maximum driving pleasure and unparalleled comfort. Exquisite materials and race-bred technology combine to provide a unique balance of luxury and excitement.

Innovative Engineering – 60mph in under three seconds, a 207mph top speed, 650PS… The 650S allows drivers to experience the thrill of five decades of Formula 1 success transferred to the road.
