“Open-top version of McLaren's brilliant 650S. P1 looks and open-top sensations: perfect”
Good stuff
Does everything the Coupe does, but with more of a spring in its step
Bad stuff
The doors impede entry and egress, and that's about it
Overview
What is it?
It’s brilliant, that’s what. Oh, are we getting a bit ahead of ourselves? Well, this is the convertible version of McLaren’s 650S coupe, complete with a folding hard top that tucks itself away in 17 seconds at up to 19mph. So far, so standard.
What makes the McLaren stand out from other convertibles (including Ferrari’s drop-top 488) is that, thanks to the toughness of its carbon tub, it needed no additional strengthening. Which means it’s every bit as stiff and rigid as the hard top and only weighs 40kg more.
