McLaren is puts out some of the hottest super cars each year that everyone wishes they could get their hands on. The company is always designing very sleek and original vehicles that feature smooth curves and unique designs that set them apart from other luxury car companies in the market. Although the Mclaren cars cost way more than the average BMW or Mercedes, their products are offering way more for drivers in performance and luxury. Their newest car is the McLaren 650S Spider, which looks amazing, costs $280,225, but is well worth the price for those who can afford it.

The 650S Spider has doors that open upward, which will immediately grab the attention of everyone interested, and turn the heads of those who weren’t. The design features a ton of curves that give the Spider a very modern look and feel to it. When the car is started the twin-turbocharged V-8 roars with power that is absurdly loud. The engine can hit 3,500 rpm with a red line of 8,500 rpm and can get the car going from 0 to 60 in  a mere 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 204 mph.

Needless to say, the new McLaren 650S Spider is an absolute beast of a car. It features a nice interior that is comfortable to cruise around in while a majority of the detail is made from top quality carbon fiber material; even the paddle shifters on the steering wheel are made from carbon fiber, and normally they are crafted from aluminum.

McLaren cares about the cars the release in the market and want the vehicles representing their company to show how much care and detail go into the entire process. This car is extremely powerful and almost overwhelming to drive at its top speeds, but that doesn’t take away from delivering the same feel and ride at more comfortably paced speeds. Although the 650S Spider costs over $280,000, it’s got an amazing design that delivers maximum comfort and quality.
