McLaren 570S (2015)

Objective conquest for McLaren. The 650S with the task of tackling the Ferrari 488, it was appropriate for the British manufacturer to offer a sporty smaller wing. The pace is fast: McLaren has returned only recently to road productions, after stopping the highly exclusive F1 (106 copies 1993-1998). In 2011 alone, with 12C quickly turned into 650S.

The 570S opens the way for a new range "general public" Sports Series baptized in the new McLaren nomenclature. Then come the Super Series (650S) and Ultimate Series (P1 and derivatives). In front, we find a young Audi R8 and a very established Porsche 911 Turbo S. The English looks otherwise less common than its two rivals. One should not cross his chubby little porridge P1 at all street corners: its production is expected at about 1,800 units / year. Therefore nonetheless still young for a small manufacturer.

After the first confusion (Front, the similarity with the 650S is confusing) the distinguishing signs are clear: 570S lost the rear spoiler shrink the 650S, offset by a large aerodynamic work at the dug flanks and rear pillars . Spectacular, from all angles! Furthermore, the car body is no longer carbon but aluminum. However, it retains the same fiber monocoque structure that other McLaren.


Since the English (not so small, the 570S is a little longer than the 650S) is supposed to spend more time on the road and on the track, she is entitled to a few extras to make life easier (storage in the doors , lifting the front axle for ramps ...). McLaren insists it is even the first manufacturer to receive a cup holder. Thank you for the gesture, but in everyday driving 570S remains a lifestyle choice.

Devoid of hydraulic suspensions of the 650S, it is firmer than this one and posture at the wheel is more about racing berlinetta that Grand Touring Coupe. Feeling accentuated by very steep tubs of our model , And even if access to the cockpit was facilitated, doors elytra more in the spectacle they provide easy installation on board.

Price:

The 570S starts at $ 182,350. That's about $ 17,000 less than a R8 Plus and a 911 Turbo S. We also note that the carbon-ceramic brakes are supplied automatically, the steel discs being offered in free option. Accessible in the sense that we find difficult pleasure equivalent to this price and power. Lamborghini Huracan, almost as saucy, émarge to $ 203,400. Even better: the 540C, chastened version of the 570S, will start at $ 161,000


The price climbs easily by drawing in the list of options: our model was equipped with the exterior carbon package (€ 9,820, including the monstrous diffuser), the sports exhaust system ($ 4,040), bucket ($ 6,240) ?? Not to mention the service customization choices MSO (McLaren Special Operations), to configure the custom 570S.
