Brilliant new McLaren 650S tested at the limit on track

The latest addition to McLaren’s line-up may be based on the 12C, but it’s a whole new ball game. Steve Sutcliffe puts the McLaren 650S coupe to the test on track.

The McLaren 650S is almost as fast as a Bugatti Veyron, but costs less than one fifth of the price. After driving the McLaren 650S Spider last week, Steve Sutcliffe takes to the Ascari circuit in southern Spain to discover if the replacement for the McLaren 12C lives up to the promise of being much faster and more exciting to drive.

Take Britain’s best drifting talent from the world of circuit racing, rallying, tyre development and, erm, writing, give them a Driftbox, a stack of tyres and a Mercedes C63 AMG and an Audi R8 V10. What happened next?

We took Britain’s finest driver’s cars to Oulton Park find out the best drifters — and the best drivers. After applying some science and narrowing the shortlist to the Mercedes C63 AMG and Audi R8 V10, we let the best drivers do battle. Could Aston Martin GT ace Darren Turner, Porsche Carrera champion Michael Meadows or Lotus GP2 driver James Calado claim honours for the circuit drivers. Or could WRC flyer Elfyn Evans, world drift champion Mauro Calo wrestle top honours from professional scribbler Steve Sutcliffe and ex-scribe John Barker. Let battle commence.

McLaren 650S Spider: “So much better than the 12C it defies belief”

The McLaren 650S Spider is more than a modified 12C Spider. A quarter of its parts are new and owes much to the mighty P1. Steve Sutcliffe finds out if it can still thrill.

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

The McLaren 650S Spider costs some £20k more than the £190,000 coupe version, and it’s worth every penny. Why? Because it can do just about everything the coupé can do dynamically yet adds a sizeable hit of extra sex appeal to go with it. And that arrives courtesy of a folding hard top roof that can glide up or down in but a few seconds, and which transforms the 650S into an even more exotic creature on the move. Steve Sutcliffe puts it to the test.

New Nissan Qashqai vs Europe: Autocar’s 5000-mile road trip

We travel from Sunderland to Istanbul and back again in a brand new Nissan Qashqai. Autocar covers 5000 miles and 21 countries in 13 days to see just how good the follow up to Nissan’s best-seller really is.

The longest test to date of the all-new Nissan Qashqai takes Autocar from the car’s birthplace in Sunderland, England to Istanbul and back again. Why Istanbul? Because it bridges Europe and Asia and to the east lies the heart of the Nissan brand, while Europe is a key market for the Qashqai. Richard Bremner, Mark Tisshaw and Matt Burt make the journey.
