You don’t have to be a McLaren fan, or executive, to appreciate this.
Mentioning “McLaren” and “Monza” in the same sentence should evoke nostalgia of Michael Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen dueling for the win. But this time the McLaren in question is the marque’s road-going, incredibly swift 650S Coupe.
No ad to show here.
The 641-horsepower, 3.8-litre turbocharged monster was recently spotted kissing the curbs of Italy’s fabled Monza racetrack, at the hands of the company’s VIPs. The “McLaren Pure Driving Experience” is about as close a car fan could come to a midyear Christmas.
The video showcases four 650S engines rumble into life, burbling away as the drivers blip the throttle and no doubt destroying the contents of their fuel tanks. But the end of the 200-second video sees the cars hurtling through Monza’s long straights and chicanes, powered by a choir of what is likely, fire-breathing angels. But don’t just take my word for it. Watch this ridiculous piece of car, capable of well over 320km/h, tackle one of motorsport’s greatest racetracks.
