The McLaren 650S has leaked just a few weeks before it's Geneva debut. The new McLaren model (upgraded 12C) features an upgraded version of the 12C's 616 break horsepower 3.8 liter twin-turbo V8 with a maximum output of 641 bhp.
The 650S is confirmed to just be a 12C upgrade in order to compete with the Ferrari 458 Speciale, as noted with AutoCar's leaked pricing.
Official pricing has yet to be confirmed, but further leaked documents suggest a price tag that's some £20,000 more than the current £176,000 12C.
The 650S is not the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that we've been hearing all about. The P15 will be priced somewhere around £400,000, whereas the 650S will sell just above the 12C.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
The McLaren 650S sports a P1 style nose, but retains most of the 12C's curves. Customers also have the option of fitting P1 carbon fiber seats.

I'll take this please.

Okay, so it's just an upgraded 12C meant to take on the Speciale? I'm deal. I was sorta bummed at first thinking this was meant to be a new model but it's meant to whoop Ferrari toosh then hell yeah McLaren! It actually looks pretty cool, the P1's nose looks good on the 12C.

God damnit there is no originality left in auto design anymore.
I can spit on a napkin with my art degree and come up with better.

Why wouldn't they try and design a car instead of mashing the MP4faxmachine12C and the P1 together?

There is lazy design and then there is this. But it looks good and it'll go like hell so I'll take it!

its cheaper

I'm so used to the MP4 and the P1, that this looks like a crappy P1 or a MP4 with a front end clip.

Agreed, the front end looks a bit out of place

Ferrari must be thrilled that McLaren reentered the road car market. I think Ferrari sells every car they make anyway, so its not a problem.

Yeah, great new cars are rare, drive old ones!

P1 in the front.
12C in the back!
