McLaren 650S Rental
A 641 hp McLaren with dihedral doors, a folding hardtop and an airbrake that stands up under braking.
Overview
The McLaren 650S is a 641 hp mid-engine supercar with dihedral doors and a hydraulic suspension that links the dampers corner to corner, so it rides softer than its shape suggests. Renters book it for a first McLaren weekend with the roof down, over the newer 720S when the doors and the sound matter more than the extra power.
How It Drives
With the roof folded you hear the turbos spool and sigh on every lift, and the hydraulic steering loads up as the car breathes in below 3,000 rpm and then runs hard. The ride is softer than the shape suggests, so the 650S is for the roof-down run up the coast, not only the canyon.
Who Rents It
Trim Breakdown
McLaren built the 650S in 2 body styles, the coupe and the Spider with a retractable hardtop. They share the same carbon tub, the same 641 hp V8 and the same interlinked hydraulic suspension. We run the Spider.
650S Spider
The 650S Spider is the car we run, Volcano Red over black leather with red stitching, on black wheels with red calipers. A 3.8 liter twin-turbo V8 makes 641 hp through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the hardtop folds under the deck in about 17 seconds at low speed. The airbrake, the carbon ceramic brakes and the dihedral doors are all standard.
650S Coupe
The 650S coupe is the fixed roof car, about 40 kg lighter than the Spider with the same 641 hp V8, the same gearbox and the same hydraulic suspension. Because the carbon tub carries the strength, the coupe and the Spider feel the same from the driver's seat, and the coupe only gains a quieter cabin at speed. We do not run the coupe.
