The McLaren 650S is a discontinued supercar that bridged the gap between the original MP4-12C and McLaren's later Super Series models. It used a twin-turbocharged V8, carbon-fibre construction and advanced hydraulic suspension to deliver huge speed with surprising ride comfort. In Australia it appealed to buyers wanting an exotic car with serious performance and a highly technical edge. The 650S brought sharper styling and stronger acceleration than the 12C, while keeping the same focus on lightweight engineering. Available as a coupe or Spider, it helped establish McLaren as a credible rival to Ferrari and Lamborghini in the local supercar market.
