The McLaren MP4-12C was an amazing car but the 650S takes that car and adds all the lessons learned since its launch to create something that little bit extra special.

    This is why i love this channel; the reviews are pure, concise, and to the point. The larger channels have begun to disappoint and bore me; they try too hard to please the masses with tacky jokes and sesquipedalian loquaciousness - using large and elaborate words to seem smart. The mclaren 650s is my future dream car after i finish my schooling; thank you boys for a proper and stunning review. Last question, what is the music beginning at 9:50 - it is a banger of a track. Cheers boys! - Mike.

    I now drive a 650S Spider after having a 12C Coupe, the difference is amazing! Performance wise it's another league! May not look much on paper, but in the seat of your pants, it's massive! Do remember as well, the previous 12C is a VERY quick car! I really don't understand the "You're not getting the most" "It's holding your hand" bit... It's a 1350kg 640BHP 207mph road car, I want all the help it can give me on the public highway. If you track it, the traction systems can be turned off to allow proper yob behaviour! Utterly brilliant!

    +kerk tp The Turbo S has three problems. You can only get the best out of it while actually driving fast, which you cant do on 90% of the roads. Also the price. Porsche likes making the base car really cheep however charge you lots of money for options which should be as standard. You can end up paying 250K for a car originally priced at 100K. The third is the depreciation. They depreciate worse than McLaren's do.

    I am #McLaren fan and to be honest I was not surprised they took a little Porsche-like strategy in building cars with focus on overall quality vs "emotion". Almost like Golf. You cannot say anything really bad not to buy one if you have chance as most of arguments will be against others. What I do like is how McLaren is dinamic in updates and increasing their portfolio. This also has own downfall. Now you cannot even "connect" with manufacturer as every few years they hit market with new model, and you are just waiting for those crown jewels - GT3 and Speciale version as they are ones which bring "emotion" to brand. McLaren just needs to find own version.

    Nice, but I would say debatable: Ferrari has both, passion as you call it and engineering. It is one of the most innovative supercar companies, just look at each new model and you will always find loads of new pieces of technology, and many times even radical changes and innovations such as with the "4WD" of the FF to give an example. That's why, IMO, Ferrari is that step higher than the others. It manages to combine beauty/art, sport/performance and innovation all at once.

    Two reasons why I love Mclaren. 1: it pisses ferrari off because Mclaren cars are faster (just ignore current F1 form ahem). Ferrari thinks the motor industry ows them. Nope. They act like a spoilt child. 2: I'm an aircraft engineer and I love the fact that function dictates; aerodynamics takes precedence. No aircraft was designed to look pretty, but you'll find in the aerospace world that if it looks good it will fly well. Concorde, Spitfire, SR-71. Even a Mooney. Point proved with the 650S. It's a purist, thinking man's super car, the engineers car. Now I'm off down the pub. Bye.
