- 650 PS (641 HP) Power Output – The 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine (M838T) produces 650 PS (641 hp) and 678 Nm (500 lb-ft) of torque, making it significantly more powerful than the 12C.
- 0-100 km/h in Just 3.0 Seconds – Thanks to its lightweight carbon fiber chassis and powerful engine, the 650S accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.0 seconds, putting it in supercar territory.

(This is the last McLaren before hybrid complexity—a pure, analog supercar that's still affordable... for now.)
