McLaren 650S - Early Thoughts and Improvements on 12C
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Some miles are on the clock so it was time to put some thoughts down and talk about the improvements in the 650S over the 12C. I didn't quite realise before driving the cars back to back how much had changed and been improved. You can see more of my thoughts and ask questions at: www.mclarentalk.com/forums/mcl...
My apologies for one or two clumsy wordings during the video, I wasn't feeling particularly well on the day. Likewise a bit of camera wobble - my main mount broke but fortunately I had a phone holder to use temporarily.
Thanks for watching, Tim

I would agree that is Brilliant!
The passion and humility in your videos is so refreshing.
It's inspiring seeing your videos and your life, man. How much you enjoy and appreciate these cars and how you were able to put forward the work in order to make these dream cars become your own possession. I'm hoping one day I can afford such a remarkable machine. Take care!
Nice vid Tim as per usual. Looking forward to more vids with the 650S
amazing car shmee wish u the best with it! and many more amazing miles!
My all-time favorite car manufacturer. McLaren nailed the cars they released.
CONGRATULATIONS.!!! that's a spectacular car...enjoy it to the max.
Not having any chance in my life to even try such a car as the 650S, i made the McLaren 650S in Forza Horizon look as close to the new Shmeemobile as i could. But it seems that i'm not the only one, as most of the 650S's i meet while racing or driving are the color of your car. I think it's safe to say that you've influenced the content of a hugely popular game. If you ever think about visiting the Åland Islands (between Finland and Sweden) i would love to meet you and see the car you're driving. There's not much to see here, besides the beautiful nature, but this islands has the most cars per person in all of Finland and while there are only 25000 people living there, we have cars like the 458, Bentley Flying Spur and Mulsanne and Tesla Model S here, in addition to all the "more normal" cars...

Vincent Mcclinton why did you tag me? I think you meant the other guy
Best supercar. 650S over a 458 or Huracan any day. The great design, BRUTAL sound, the engine, Its perfect. I would choose other wheels tho
I weep every-time you get in that 650s spider i just cant enough of it lol its my life goal own one
I've been thinking of upgrading my humber 80 to hillman super minx and after watching this vid have decided to have the upgrade--- thanks!!
Fantastica macchina shmee!! Sei un grande💪💪👍🚘
Mclaren's weren't too appealing to me, but after seeing them up close and on Tims videos they have started to grow on me, although the interior still seems a little bare. Can we see some reaction videos like you did with the 12c Tim? Loved those videos.
Fantastic car Tim glad your pleased with it, you certainly demo alot of different cars so atleast you knew your favourite to purchase
Nice one Tim, seems the best choice, have fun
GREETINGS FROM MÉXICO !! I ALWAYS OPEN KZread JUST TO WATCH YOU VIDEOS :D GOD BLESS YOU TIM
Wasnt a big fan of the 650s but after you bought one Shmee im totally changed its an epic looking car and from what I have heard it sounds like a much more refined car! Great video!
I can't get enough of the front splitter! It's so cool!

Looking forward to see your video of the 675LT
Have you acquired the MCL 1 reg?
shmee, have you managed to work out the shortcut for using vehicle lift?
I can see the changes!
Shmee, have you got Winterthur tyres on it?
did you wrap it with the 3M transparent wrap to protect the perfect beautiful paint job? Enjoy your car safely man...
Flipping nice!
Hey Shmee, 2 little questions: when you drop the roof how is it in the cabin? Is it windy? At what speed there's too much turbulence? Mercedes use an ugly system to decrease it for ex. And about ground clearance? Since the car is low even with lift system up, what's the maximum angle the car can possible do going up when it's in underground garage?
What an awesome car,hope u enjoy it
Shmee I totally understand this video...its a time you can step back and enjoy secretly to yourself of how much you enjoy it. I've done so myself. During this phase when you can step back and say comfortably to yourself, "Money well spent on a car supercar"- you know you will be happy with it for 4+yrs.
Would you ever go for something a bit cheaper like an f-type or a 911
*_If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up._*
Awesome video Tim! You really seem to have found your perfect car haha!
My neighbour just took delivery of a grey 650s spider with a red interior and it looks and sounds amazing
Hey shmee, have u ever driven a 458 Speciale?
Cars amazing !! Hey what do you do for a living shmee?
Shmee! My 15 z06 spanked the 650s according to Randy Pobst!!! Should be in the next months MotorTrend issue!!! Love the green!!
Mr. Tim, What is your personal opinion on the 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo in Orange color?
can you make a video show us how the 650s lift up system works?is it like the SUV`s too?
When is 87-TB going on or is it gone for good?
Are you going to tint the windows?
what's the comparitive speeds of the 12c , 650s & the P1?
I hope that you will protect it with a transparent wrap!
Does it have a front lifter?
British people have a way of making everything seem so epic lmao when Tim was talking about the hood (boot) catch and how it was so much better than the 12C I was way more enticed than I should've been ...awesome car though
Why are number plates yellow on the back and white on the front? France already got with the times and is in white-only now
Mclaren should personally invite you to tour their factory and test the P1 since you give them so much free press with your love of their cars
Very nice!
Good to see Tim - I'm still suprised McLaren hadn't marketed this as the 12C replacement and am amazed they are both in production together seeing as its seems so much like the next development.......... How long do you have MCL 1 for ;o)
Still on the MCL1 plates?
Whats shmee's daily?
Why now the 650s is not swipe to open the door?
God has blessed you Shmee! Seek him brother!
I was watching that vid feeling a lot of familiarity to the background until I saw my allotment in the background at the end lol. Small world
Hey Shmee awesome vid! Just a suggestion could you turn off stereo sound or do something with the sound to fix it. When I listen with earphones it's irritating when you voice constantly moves from left to right and right to left. Just a suggestion, awesome video though!
4:48 why the paddle shift (down) moving when do upshifting?

Anurak Chubandidkul They are attached together via a rocker system, you can go up or down using both sides. I will demonstrate it in the next video.
Why didnt you buy the "MCL1" number plate???
There are two features in the 12-C that I would change, if the new ones didn't already change them. One is the window buttons on the driver side arm rest, that the elbow has a tendency to touch, which lowers the passenger door window. Number two is the shift buttons mounted on the flat surface on the center divider, that when you want to use them, you have to look down to see where they are. After a while you get used to them but still, they would be in a better location if they were mounted on an upper vertical surface where just a glance, instead of having to move your head to look down. Other than that, the car is perfect. On the other hand, you can never have too much horse power so I had the Car tuner, Hyper Fast Cars bring up the power, now the car is MORE perfect. lol
Really like the color and I know what you mean by the little thing making a big difference. It's kind of like phones now a days that are all basically the same, but the little touches that you use everyday is what really make on stand out from the other. How about what you don't like? There is always pros and cons to things.

You lucky fella! My dream car is a used Wiesmann MF4 coupe because its 100k only!
Pure performance has its own thrill, of that there is no doubt, but there’s some emotion still lacking in the 650S. I got to the end of several fast runs feeling in awe of and slightly giddy with the speed, but not elated and grinning at the driving experience. I think a big part of the problem is the sound. The turbocharged engine simply doesn’t make a noise that you crave. There’s supposedly a new cylinder cut on upshifts when you’re in Sport mode, but sadly I couldn’t really detect the added drama it was meant to add and although overall it’s not a bad sound being piped into the cabin, you won’t lie awake at night longing for the next time you hear it. That's what Evo magazine said, which is why a lot of people would choose a Ferrari I guess.
what a car. Awesome : )

The Ford GT will be fast and look good, that is all. i won't be comfortable and it's a tight as a Lotus Elise inside!
The great thing about that rear window is when someone in the passenger seat is talking to much just roll it down down downshift!
IDK, if I had the money, I would probably spend it on a 458 for about the same price the 12 C is going for... As for 650s, it seems really undertoned compared to other supercars and I would have bought a aventador since it is just an outrageous statement to the world (look at me) whereas 650s feels like a younger baby to the p1

Stunning from the front but I can't stand the rear, needs to be a bit longer. Best colour though :)
You should black out the wheels and get a sport exhaust in my opinion. Awesome car regardless.

Nice spec, except for the wheels. I wouldn't have gotten those. But then again, I wouldn't have gotten a 650S anyways. The 458 Speciale tickles my fancy even more! :X

Wait a minute, didnt you buy a used 650S? I noticed when you first sat on it in the dealer showroom that it got almost 2000 miles. How can it have 2000 miles on the odometer and you claimed you customized it to your liking? Can a used 650S be shipped back to Woking, dismantled and re-optioned? McLaren probably the first manufacturer that do that, top marks to them.

+B007 Dealerships can locate cars with specific color combinations and options in their new pre-owned inventory, its a shared server between all dealerships within the country so that dealers can trade inventory based on customer choices. Tim(Shmee) wanted a Mantis Green 650S Spider with Leather/Alcantara interior and the Extended Carbon Fiber package, so they located one and had it sent to Mclaren Manchester, or the car was in the CPO inventory at Mclaren Manchester when Tim went in to go buy one and got a good deal on what was basically a new car. No car manufacturer would take a car back to the factory and re-option it, it would be too expensive on both the owner's part and the manufacturers part. You can have certain parts exchanged through certain auto shops and, however it would be insanely expensive as to compared to ordering from factory.
But is it worth an extra £100k+ over the 12c?
Thats Datchworth unless I'm mistaken?
that car looks fucking awesome

SeaRanger311 It will vary from country to country, and each specific car, but roughly speaking I'm sure you can look in your location at what a 2012 12C with some miles on it costs compared to an almost new 650S with few miles.
