McLaren launch 20th anniversary 650S

McLaren has launched a special edition of the 650S to mark the 20th anniversary of its famous victory at Le Mans - when five McLaren F1 GTRs crossed the line to finish 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th.

Designed in consultation with Peter Stevens, the designer of the iconic McLaren F1, the McLaren 650S Le Mans will be offered as a coupé only, and will borrow a number of styling enhancements from the iconic race-winner, most notably the roof-mounted ‘snorkel’ air intake.

This fully-integrated ‘snorkel’ channels airflow to the familiar 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 engine, while also providing enhanced aural drama within the cabin, while the front wings feature subtle louvres to reduce pressure over the front wheels, increasing downforce.
