“The McLaren 570S GT4 is a first-class GT race car that, having won races in every championship it has competed in since its first appearance in 2017, is attracting an increasing number of customer racing teams. In response to repeated customer requests, we have homologated that class-leading package for the road in the McLaren 620R, a limited-edition, 620PS superlight coupe that is the perfect choice for an enthusiast wanting an authentic motorsport driving sensation – and performance to match – on both track and road.”– Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive
Powertrain & Performance
The new 2021 McLaren 620 R is the most powerful vehicle in the Sports Series – which also includes the 570S, 570GT, 540C and 600LT. The vehicle is capable of generating 610 horsepower alongside 457 pound-feet of torque thanks to a 3.8L twin-turbocharged V8 engine. All that power translates to impressive performance times as well, as you might have expected.
The vehicle is capable of accelerating from 0-62 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds, or from 0-124 mph in 8.2 s. It can then push on to a max speed of 200 miles per hour. Those numbers are certainly track worthy, and they give the 620R the fastest lap time of any model in the Sports Series of vehicles. We’ll be sure to cover even more details about this special edition vehicle in the weeks to come, so be sure to check back often to learn more.
