Ever wanted to feel the rush of driving a vehicle built for motor sports? If so the McLaren 620R Road-Legal Race Car is your chance to make that dream come true.

The McLaren 620R Road-Legal Race Car is a limited edition coupe based on 570S GT4. It will be first car in its class to offer true motor sport credentials in a fully road-legal package. Being the most powerful car in the McLaren Sports Series – and also the fastest around the track – the 620R is a truly unique proposition. It not only looks like a race car, it handles, performs and feels just like a race car too. And with production strictly limited to just 350 examples, it will be as rare as it is extreme.

The 620R is lighter than any other mainstream Sports Series model. Its motorsport DNA is further enhanced by the adoption of the GT4’s adjustable aerodynamic elements, race-derived suspension components and a powertrain recalibration that increases power output to the 620PS (610bhp) which gives the car its name.

Performance will naturally be formidable – 0-100km/h (0-62mph) takes just 2.9 seconds – but the 620R is primarily set up to be a road car capable of posting phenomenal lap times. Stiffer powertrain mounts are deployed to reduce inertia under high load, the 7-speed SSG gearbox offers McLaren’s Inertia Push technology for super-fast shift times, while the GT4’s manually adjustable dampers offer 32 clicks of adjustment at each corner (and weigh 6kg less than regular dampers).

Inside the cockpit there’s no doubt we’re dealing with a racing-inspired machine. Super lightweight carbon fibre racing seats with six-point harnesses, carbon fibre shift paddles and the McLaren Track Telemetry system are standard, while floor carpet, glovebox, air-con, audio system and IRIS navigation have been deleted to save weight (although the last three can be added).

The McLaren 620R is priced at $299,000.00 USD.
