McLaren 650S 3.8T Coupe Is Pretty In Pink In China

A very pretty McLaren 650S 3.8T Coupe, seen in the Sanlitun area in Beijing in 2022 by Friend of the Site Joachim, thank you for the picture! The good McLaren is wrapped, from head to toe, in a pink wrap, and further sexed up with darkened windows and black alloy wheels. The wrap appears to be of top quality and contrasts nicely with the black bits.

There are Hello Kitty ears on the roof and a bunch of stuffed animals on the dash top, including a panda. And check the hand on the wheel, that’s a little lady driving! No surprise, really, considering the car’s color and details.

The McLaren 650S super car was made from 2014 until 2017. It was powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8 liter V8 engine with an output of 650 hp and 678 Nm. The motor was mated to a 7-speed DCT, sending horses to the rear wheels. Top speed is 333 kilometers per hour and 0-100 takesĀ  only three pink seconds. Price in China (2014) started at 3.75 million yuan. A wrap of this quality costs at least another 10.000. Well, if it makes her happy…

A Volkswagen Santana 2000 police car, seen at a police show in 2011. I always loved to go to police equipment shows in China to check out new police cars.
