New McLaren 650S Spider to debut tomorrow in Dubai
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 29 - 03 - 2014

McLaren Automotive has announced the latest model to join the range, the McLaren 650S, will make its Middle East debut in Dubai from March 30 to April 3, 2014. The McLaren Dubai retailer, Al Habtoor Motors, will be hosting a limited number of private viewings of the supercar during this time.
Available in Coupé and Spider bodystyles from launch, the McLaren 650S joins the range as an additional model between the 12C and sold-out McLaren P1, and learns from both models as well as 50 years of competing in the highest levels of motorsport. The 650S is the fastest, most engaging, best equipped and most beautiful series-production supercar yet from McLaren Automotive. In Coupé form, the 650S accelerates to 100km/h (62mph) from rest in just 3.0 seconds, and can reach 200km/h (124mph) in just 8.4 seconds. The standing quarter mile (400m) takes 10.5 seconds, and top speed is 333 km/h (207 mph). This performance puts the latest model from McLaren a full second quicker than the iconic McLaren F1 road car to 200 km/h underlining its performance focus.
The front-end design is inspired by the McLaren P1, showcasing a new family design language for the brand. More importantly, the new look follows the McLaren design ethos of ‘form follows function', with the front bumper providing a dramatic, yet clean, appearance while the integrated front splitter contributes to increased levels of downforce. Optimised aerodynamics ensure that the performance of the McLaren 650S is accessible and increases driver engagement. Enhanced handling, high-speed balance and steering turn-in result from improved levels of downforce.
‘The McLaren 650S represents 50 years of road and racing car know-how,' comments Ian Gorsuch, Regional Director for Middle East and Africa. ‘Everything we've learnt from the 12C and the McLaren P1 has gone into this car, creating a car with the widest breadth of capabilities of any production supercar. It's also a new benchmark in pure driving excitement, and we're very excited to be showcasing our latest achievement for the first time in this region to our loyal customers in the United Arab Emirates.'
“This is a proud occasion for all of us at McLaren Automotive as we continue to make great strides forward in our development of innovative technology. The 650S joins our supercar range only three years after the launch of the 12C – we are a fast-moving company that never rests, bringing new technology and thinking to our customers as soon as possible.”
Deliveries to customers of the McLaren 650S in the Middle East region will begin in September 2014. – SG
