The McLaren 650S Can-Am has been launched to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1966 inaugural race season of the Canadian American Challenge Cup.
This was the same season that spawned the five back to back championship wins for the McLaren team from 1967-1971. Only 50 units of the 650S Can-Am will be sold in the UK at £255,850 (Rs 2.5 crore approx).
While it’s based on the McLaren 650S Spider, the limited edition 650S Can-Am distinguishes itself with extensive use of carbon fibre on the bonnet, airbrake, front splitter, rear bumper centre, door blades, and 650S Can-Am branded sill covers. The car also gets a carbon fibre retractable hard top and a monocell chassis.
It runs forged alloy wheels with gloss black finish and diamond cut rim with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres with carbon ceramic brakes and black painted callipers. The carbon-fibre louvered front wing along with the polished stainless steel exhaust system are the other changes on the outside.
The cabin also employs carbon fibre elements with a Can-Am inspired driver’s door and usage of leather and Alcantara in the seats. The car will be available in three colour options, namely Mars Red, Papaya Sparkonyx and Black.
