We Need To Talk About The New McLaren 688 HS
Using the 675LT ‘super series coupe’ chassis, McLaren has been developing a supercar even more powerful than the crazy LT. Estimated to output around 679bhp, the McLaren MSO HS will use the same basic 3.8-litre V8 from the other cars in the company’s range but cranked up to sit below only the P1.
A nod to the P1 comes in the shape of a fully-active rear wing which is combined with a 40kg weight reduction from the already feather-weight 675LT. A striking roof-scoop and carbonfibre front splitter make for a hardcore McLaren that will take the fight to the best NA supercars that the car world has to offer.
Although this all seems a mouth-watering prospect, McLaren has stated that the MSO HS will not go into mass production with only 25 examples being manufactured. With the 675LT being classed as a P1 without the electric motors, the MSO HS will be a whole new level of performance from the McLaren Super Series. And with the 570GT by MSO debuting at Pebble Beach this week, McLaren seems to be continually on the up across their model range.

When you are poor but want to kill yourself
*and
they need to make an MX5 rival with the 3.8 TT v8
but make it NA so it only has like 300hp
Shmee: I’ll take one in blue
Personally, for the price of the car, I would go for something like a 675LT spider and then just tune it. Or maybe the P1 or P1-GTR if you’re rich
Yeow
JenstheGTIfreak (pizza) the 688 has a wang… And no spider.
Oh yeaah
