McLaren describes the 620R as a ‘race car for the road’, a vehicle that’s ‘exclusive and extreme in equal measure’.
And because it’s based on McLaren’s fully homologated 570S GT4 track car, the 620R’s paddock-blasting pedigree is writ large, while also being a supercar for everyday use.

The 620R sits ahead of the 600LT and the 570S in the McLaren line-up, and represents the most powerful offering in the British firm’s ‘Sports Series’.
At its heart lies a thunderous 3.8 litre V8 that produces power of 620 PS and 457 lb-ft of peak torque. That power is channelled to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission which also boasts McLaren’s ‘Inertia Push technology’, resulting in explosive shift times.
Acceleration from 0-62mph takes place in just 2.9 seconds, a sprint time aided by an ultra-lightweight motorsport suspension system that features aluminium wishbones as well as stiff anti-roll bars.
That, combined with a brake-boosting system borrowed from the McLaren Senna race team, results in razor-sharp, confidence-inspiring handling, wherever you choose to take the 620R.
Your eye will be immediately drawn to the 620R’s distinctive carbon fibre rear wing, another component taken from the GT4 track car, and which adds up to 185kg of extra downforce, depending on which of the three settings you deploy.
And while the interior is functional as opposed to luxurious - with items such as the air conditioning, audio system and floor carpet removed for crucial weight saving reasons - you’ll arguably never feel more engaged and ‘at one’ with the road or track ahead.
The McLaren 620R is a rival to the likes of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS or the Lamborghini Huracan Performante - and is right up there with the very best on offer when it comes to unadulterated, unfiltered thrills unleashed.
