Description:
2016 marks 50 years since Can-Am’s debut season. To celebrate, McLaren Special Operations has created the new McLaren 650S Can-Am a limited-edition supercar inspired by the fearsome championship-winning McLaren Can-Am race cars.
With a 3.8-litre all aluminium V8 the engine is both compact and lightweight and boosted by two ultra-responsive turbochargers delivering 641 bhp at 7250 rpm. The vehicle sprints from 0-100kph in just 3.0 seconds and 0-200kph in an incredible 8.6 seconds with the car reaching a breath-taking 329kph top speed.
Carbon ceramic brake discs bring the 650S to a standstill from 200kph in just 124 metres.
Aside from the advanced materials found in the 650S also has sophisticated aerodynamics. Sitting flush with the rear bodywork at low speeds the carbon fibre Airbrake quickly extends to reduce stopping distances and adjusts its angle to increase downforce for handling at speed.
