Yet another McLaren!

February 13, 2014

McLaren just keeps those new supercars coming, in line with the company’s stated desire to release a new car every year. And, yes, we do realise that is a massively open-ended statement that prompts more questions than it answers…

Anyway, McLaren has just announced the latest car in its line up – called the 650S – will be revealed at the Geneva motor show next month. The only real detail the press release lets slip is that it will sit between the 12C and the P1 on “McLaren Automotive’s supercar grid.”

Which could mean “modified 12C”, “de-tuned P1” or an entirely new car. So far rumours have suggested that the 650S will be a faster, lighter version of the 12C, with styling similar to the P1.

Anyway, enjoy the new pic of the 650S’s badge and read the full (but very brief) press release below:

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.
