McLaren will reveal its 650S Sprint track day car at the 2014Pebble Beach motor show. The 650S Sprint takes what the 650S does and dials everything closer to track use.

McLaren 650S Sprint specifications

In order to make it track focused, the engineers worked on the aerodynamics, giving the 650S Sprint more downforce through radiator exit ducts and front wings louvres to further optimise airflow over, and around, the bodywork.

The engine remains the same as the pure road car version with a 3.8-litre V8 twin-turbo. The engine develops a whopping 478 kW with 678 Nm, shunting the McLaren 650S Sprint to 100 kph in just 3 seconds flat and topping out at 333 kph. The engine and transmission have been fettled to optimise them for track use.

The McLaren 650S Sprint has had revisions made to the Brake Steer system and active aerodynamics, allowing the 650S sprint to brake later and corner faster.

The interior has been stripped out to reduce weight although McLaren say that the Sprint has lost none of the refinement or balance of the road car. There’s a roll cage inside, a lightweight carbon fibre race seat and a six-point harness.

A range of further options and upgrades are available including a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) developed aerodynamic package including carbon fibre rear wing and front splitter, a passenger seat with six-point harness, and further lightweight components including a polycarbonate windscreen.

The McLaren 650S Sprint is available worldwide and the price is estimated to be R3.6 Million.
