First Overseas Test Drive, McLaren 650S | McLaren Gallery

Tatsuya Otani test drives the new supercar model "650S," successor to the McLaren "12C," in Malaga, Spain.
The 650S features newly designed damper mounts. By increasing the spring rates front and rear by 22-37% and hydraulically linking the front, rear, and side damper systems, the Proactive Chassis Control settings have been revised to achieve superior cornering performance and a comfortable ride.
In terms of aerodynamics, downforce at 150 mph (approx. 240 km/h) has increased by 24%. It is also equipped with DRS to reduce air resistance on straights and improve top speed, and an airbrake that functions in a wider range of conditions than the 12C.
The 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine is an improved version of the M838T model, the same as in the MP4-12C. With a 25 ps increase in output compared to the MP4-12C, it delivers a maximum output of 650 ps.
The tires are 235/35ZR19 at the front and 305/30ZR20 at the rear. The test car was equipped with P Zero CORSA.
The 650S shares many technical similarities with the 12C, as evidenced by its carbon fiber "Monocell" chassis.
New pistons and heads were developed, and the ECU was tuned, increasing power by +25 ps and +78 Nm to 650 ps and 678 Nm.
