Overview

The 2016 Mclaren 650S coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe. With just one trim on offer, the 2016 Mclaren 650S has a base MSRP of $277,700, competing directly with the Lamborghini Huracan, the Ferrari 488 GTB, and the Aston Martin Vanquish S. Only a 3.8L twin-turbocharged engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 641 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, the 650S maintains a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG. Mclaren offers the 650S in 18 stunning colors, with the Mclaren Orange being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

Supercars are mostly offered as a standalone trim and this 650s is no exception. However, you can have the optional MSO package where you can customize the exterior and interior trims with bespoke fabrics and colors. Therefore, we recommend going for the MSO package if you want to make your 650S truly distinctive and unique.
