A McLaren 650S Spider on Japan's Hakone Turnpike Is Automotive Heaven

From Road & Track

The McLaren 650S Spider is a rare, expensive car that only a few drivers will ever have access to. But for those who do get a shot behind the wheel, they'll have the privilege of experiencing a supercar that can hit 60 mph in less than 3 seconds and doesn't stop until it's past the 200 mph mark.

On most public roads, the 650S Spider is too fast to enjoy properly, but what if you had a winding mountain road all to yourself? Perhaps one like Japan's Hakone Turnpike? Well, that's the kind of experience the car was made for.

So that's what McLaren did, bringing a 650S Spider to an empty Hakone Turnpike and turning it loose. The result? About as close as it gets to driving perfection.
