Featuring a carbon fiber roof that retracts, the McLaren 650s Can-Am has an airbrake, front splitter, rear bumper and side blades also made from the ultra durable yet light material. The lightweight McLaren 650s Can-Am can hit 62mph in just three seconds and maxes out at 204mph, which is impressive to say the absolute least. The new exhaust system on the McLaren 650s Can-Am gives it a distinct sound when in operation to set it apart from the original 650s Spider. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Racing Heritage Celebration:** Creating limited edition sports cars to commemorate a brand's racing history. - **Carbon Fiber Innovation:** Utilizing carbon fiber to make cars lighter and more durable. - **Distinctive Exhaust Systems:** Developing unique and recognizable exhaust sounds for sports cars. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Developing limited edition sports cars with unique features to attract car enthusiasts. - **Materials and Manufacturing:** Advancing carbon fiber technology for use in various industries, including automotive. - **Automotive Aftermarket:** Providing aftermarket exhaust systems that enhance the sound and performance of sports cars. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Canada-Celebrating Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canada-10th-anniversary.md) - [Uniquely Personalizable Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/765lt-spider.md) - [Vegas-Themed Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-viva.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Motorsports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m4-csl.md) - [Track-Ready Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt-black-series.md) - [Sleek Racing-Inspired Super Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maserati-mc20.md) - [Industry-Leading Hybrid Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-w1.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-lego.md) - [Camouflaged Track-Racing Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artura-gt4.md)
