The McLaren 650S was only officially revealed a few hours ago and automotive manipulator X-Tomi Design has already created a rendering depicting a Spider variant. This is a very useful rendering because we know that the 650S will be available as a convertible when it hits the market later this year.
Taking design inspiration from the McLaren 12C Spider, this 650S drop-top features very similar buttresses helping to create a really unique and quite stunning design. To add that little bit of extra flair, this renderer also tweaked the blue paint of the first show car adding a little hint of green to it. Let us know what you think below!
Whilst Ferrari have gone down their classic route of creating a hardcore version of the 458 in the guise of the new Speciale, McLaren have chosen to keep the car very drivable and offer some every day creature comforts like a rear parking camera and satellite navigation whilst improving performance and all-round drivability at the same time.
So, how have they done this? Firstly the 650S has 25% new parts over the 12C, this is much more than a simple styling exercise to make it look like the P1. The revised styling helps create an astounding 40% more downforce and through increased cooling they have been able to up the power by 25 hp and 80Nm of torque. To complement the increase in power, gear changes are now faster and more engaging with a more responsive throttle response too.
