McLaren 688HS
These purportedly leaked images surfaced
on Autogespot, which claims that we are
indeed looking at the real deal, but as usual, until McLaren steps forward and
makes a statement, we have to take them with a grain of salt.
From what we can see, visual changes on
top of the 675LT count the extensive use of carbon fiber on the body, including
the new front bumper that will increase downforce, the roof scoop and a
GT3-inspired large rear wing, coming with a Formula 1-like Drag Reduction
System (DRS).
Reportedly named 688HS for High Sport,
the supercar will supposedly benefit from a total of 688 PS, meaning
13 PS more than what the 675LT has to offer. The extra punch, combined
with an alleged weight loss of up to 40 kg and the aerodynamic tweaks,
will improve the exotic's sprint time of 2.9 seconds from rest to 100 km/h.
McLaren Special Operations (MSO), which
is in charge of the project, is believed to build only 25 examples of the 688HS
and while there isn’t anything official on the car at the moment, it's being
reported that all of them have been spoken for.
