McLaren 650S

http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...-revealed.html

I drove the MP4-12C and it was surprisingly comfortable. Fun car to drive.

What do you think about the 650S? It's positioned below the P1 and above the MP4-12C. I think it still looks kind of like a toy car, but I like the minimal design.

Fantastic car. With the P1, 650S and 12C I really think McLaren is the leader in Sports cars right now. Ferrari has nothing on them.

I would have a hard time choosing between a 458 Italia and a McLaren 12C or 650S. I guess I would have to buy both!

Also don't forget that McLaren will be coming out with a new road car priced below the MP4-12C and it will be it's new entry level car. They sure are doing some exciting things!

I don't agree with that. For one, Ferrari has styling far more sexy than the McClaren. The new F12 and Speciale are pretty amazing and gorgeous cars.

Whatever you say.

No one ever said bad things about a 458. And La Ferrari isn't out yet. That's the benchmark awaited by all to compare the P1 and the 918 to.

And BTW I love McLaren.

Well I'm a McLaren fan. If you put a Ferrari and a McLaren in front of me and said Red key or Carbon key, I would take the Carbon key.

LaFerrari isn't out yet so Ferrari today has nothing on McLaren. May change a few months from now, but today the P1 is top dog.

Watch this. Chris Harris compares it to the 918 he drove a few weeks ago and says this is in a different league.

All that stuff that you've seen, I have seen too.

Cool. Ferrari has nothing on McLaren.

That was easy.

P1 is stunning and looks aggressive in black. Beautiful.

Perhaps the next gen 12C will nail the style issues for me.

I think they should have rolled out all the styling cues from the limited edition High Sport model of which they ended up making 10:

P1 race mode

Now that I've seen it, torque fill is the entirely obvious future. Absolutely brilliant!

P1 is a very impressive car. Looks like that car alone defined a new level for a road race car.

Mclaren is putting out some exciting cars for sure. The P13 will be something to keep an eye out for.

Awesome video! Also looking forward to the LaFerrari when in comes out.

Check out this video too, it's lovely as well.
