McLaren has officially teased the 650S replacement which will become the second-generation Super Series in the McLaren portfolio. The new car will make its debut at this year’s Geneva Motor Show.
Flaunting its aerodynamic prowess, the teaser showcases the active rear wing of the codenamed P14 car. The P14 will be twice as efficient, aerodynamically, than the outgoing 650S, according to the British marque. It will have an increased downforce and an improved cooling efficiency of up to 15 per cent owing to the airflow over the radiators through a newly-designed dihedral doors. The active rear wing teased extends over the rear and can be deployed in less than half a seconds for the characteristic air-braking of the McLaren, whereas can be adjusted in angles to optimize aerodynamics.
The dihedral doors that will cohere the second-generation Super Series will have two separate air ducts integrated within the door structure similar to one seen on the McLaren P1. The one on top forces air onto the radiators, while the other draws air out of the front wheel arch to create increased downforce.
The 650S which was introduced two years back makes up the Super Series line-up at the moment. Its successor has been spotted testing and is speculated to be called “720S” owing to the biturbo 3.8-litre V8 pumping out as much as 720hp. The new-generation Super Series lineage is set to be unveiled on March 7th with further images and pricing.
