British supercar maker McLaren teases an image of a forthcoming product. Called the 650S, this new Mclaren is thought to be a hardcore track version based on the Mp4-12C.

I loved the time I had with the McLaren Mp4-12C and the 650S could be very exciting. Given the fact Ferrari has a hardcore version of its 458 called the Speciale, it makes sense for the men of Woking, Surrey to try match and beat the Italians.

650S Potential engine

McLaren Automotive claims the 650S will “offer the enthusiast driver the ultimate in luxury, engagement and excitement, as well as dramatic yet beautiful styling.” I would guess 650S has something to do with output in horsepower. The 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 has shown it can perform when tuned as witnessed with the phenomenal McLaren P1, so you can expect the 650S to use a modified version of this engine.
