As you probably know the car show is coming up soon, March 5-15 to be precise, with the press days being the 3-4 of March, and I'm quite excited. Not only because there will be a bunch of new releases from Koenigsegg all the way to Ferrari to Aston Martin, but also because we can probably expect to see some nice cars cruising the streets of Geneva as well. For example last year at the car show there was a McLaren P1 at the 4 Seasons and a bunch of other supercars.
I have some pictures of the P1 which was there during the car show last year, although I took the pictures in September. Sadly the cover was on while I was there, but one of the rims was poking out just a bit, revealing the P Zero Corsa tires on the P1.
Hopefully we'll see at least one P1 on the streets and if not I'll have some other very special posts coming up from the car show anyway, so stay tuned for that :)
Again I haven't posted anything in some time, but I've been really busy with sports and school so sorry about that. I'll get right to the car, this post is going to be about the McLaren 650S which was announced in 2014, but based on the MP4-12C.
The 650S is available in two versions: The coupé and the spider. The coupé version (the one seen in the pictures) is powered by a twin turbo V8 which boasts 650 PS and let's it get up to speeds of 333 km/h (207 mp/h). All this is done at incredible speeds as well, for 0-100 km/h it only takes this McLaren 3 seconds! The spider has a slightly lower top speed at 329 km/h. The 0-100 time is still the same but to 200 km/h it takes the spider 8.6 seconds whereas it takes the coupé 8.4, but in exchange you get to drive with the top down! According to Car and Driver the 650S costs about $265,000 which is quite a bit, but then again a Lamborghini Aventador goes 0-62 in 3 seconds as well and is a whole lot more expensive. I hope you like the pictures and let me know what car you would like to see in the next post!
So this will be my first blog post and I have to apologize because I am quite behind with the pictures. The pictures in this post are from the 5th of June this year and the reason for that is that I took the pics before I set up the blog, but some newer pics will be on their way soon!
Now onto the car! This McLaren was standing in front of the Four Seasons hotel in Geneva and it looked amazing. As you can see below, at one point three employees of the hotel came out and tried to get the trunk open to get out the owners suit. Now the catch, they couldn't get the trunk open! They tried for 4 minutes to get it open until they found the latch underneath the hood. Not trying to hate on them at all, but it was pretty fun to watch :)
So in the end we found out it takes three people to open the trunk ;)
