McLaren 650s Can-Am

Post

Commemoration of Can-Am first race 50 years back. #5 because of the five consecutive titles McLarn got in 66-71, winning 43 races



I love red-black schemes. If black is because of unpainted carbon even better =P~

The car doesn´t look bad either :mrgreen:

True, but I only repeated what they said in the video and didn´t bother to check it

I read somewhere McLaren is planing 675LT Spyder for 2016. Back end of 675lt looks much better than 650s in my opinion.

I like it, looks very neat! However I still cannot digest the engine choice. V8 twin turbo is just not doing it for me. Remove the turbos, rework the engine to get the same power, and I think we would have one heck of a machine.

That's ok I never watched the video... In fact I didn't know that was a video clip till now

As for the car I'm with MadMatt on this one, I don't like the idea of a turbo. That would be ok if Porsche did did one,
When I think of McLaren Can-Am cars, I think of huge V8's and enough velocity stacks to fill the brass section of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, A turbo just doesn't come to mind
