McLaren 570S is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine with 3.8-litre fuel capacity. The V8 has a stop-start function and a dry sump lubrication system. It delivers 562 brake horsepower through its seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and CO2 emissions of 258 grams per kilometre. The 570S’s fuel economy is 25.5 miles per imperial gallon. read more >
From Normal mode, the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and engine can be switched into Track or Sport Mode to boost the car’s cut shift and response times. The car’s top speed is 204mph and it delivers 0-60mph in three point one seconds. The car is built around an extremely light, solid carbon fibre tub. The tub, which is called MonoCell II, is the same as that of the McLaren 650S, but it has been designed to provide immediate access to the car’s cabin. This is because the 570S was designed to be a sports car that can be used every day instead of a supercar that’s only used occasionally. The tub is 25% stiffer than an aluminium structure and only weighs 75 kilograms. The rear as well as front seats are made from aluminium and have suspension and drivetrain components. The car’s dry weight is 1313 pounds. For its kerb weight, add another 100 kilograms or more.
The 570S is the most affordable and the least powerful model in McLaren’s Sports Series range, but it’s an ideal choice for those who are searching for an everyday sports car. The 570S is slightly larger than the McLaren 650S. It is 2 millimetres wider, 3 millimetres taller and 21 millimetres longer than 650S, but this only shows that the 570S was designed to improve storage space and cabin for daily use.
The 570S’s chassis uses the standard anti-roll bars instead of the intricate ProActive Chassis Control system that all modern McLarens have. The standard anti-roll bars set the 570S apart from the other McLarens. Its use also reduces cost and complexity. The 570S has no active aerodynamic components. However, its rear diffuser, flying buttresses, bodywork and frontal area have been meticulously designed to create downforce or accurately direct cooling air and reduce drag.
The 570S could be easily mistaken for the 650S, but that should be expected from a car that prioritizes performance over appearance. Its carbon ceramic brakes hold exceptional stopping power and the gearbox works smoothly in automatic mode. Change the powertrain and handling modes into Sport and the 570S will surely give you a rewarding driving experience. The 570S can ride over speed bumps without being thrown off track even when you push a bit harder. The car’s Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres make the car extremely agile and alert. Steering the 570S will never become a problem. It connects strongly to the front axle once you load up the chassis. Even if it doesn’t have a limited slip differential, the car has good traction.
The 570S is indeed a good option for those who are after performance and a sports car that is perfect for daily use.
