McLaren makes sports cars. Right? Well, not quite: it has until now made supercars like the 650S, and what you might call hypercars like the P1. But Woking has long been previewing its upcoming assault on the sports car market with the introduction of its new, (relatively) more accessible Sports Series. And at long last, here it is.
It's called the 570S, and it represents McLaren's first foray into the upper end of the sports car market populated by models like the Porsche 911 Turbo, Audi R8 and Mercedes-AMG GT. It's based, of course, around the same basic parameters as its higher-end stablemates, and that means a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and mounted smack in the middle of a carbon monocoque chassis. Only instead of kicking out 641 horsepower like the 650S or 903 hp like the hybrid P1, the 570S, as its name suggests, offers 570 metric horsepower – 562 by our count, backed up by 443 pound-feet of torque.
That's quoted to be enough to send the baby Mac from a standstill to 62 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds, to 124 in 9.5 and on to a top speed of 204 mph. There'll be a less potent, more accessible version positioned alongside it, but the point is clear: a McLaren can be no slouch, and the new Sports Series is no exception.
The performance is enabled by its light weight: the designed MonoCell II chassis weighs just 80 kg, contributing to a 2,895-pound dry weight that McLaren says is over 350 lbs lighter than its nearest competitor, contributing to a power-to-weight ratio of 434 metric horsepower per tonne.
The whole thing is roughly comparable in size to a 911 or R8 as well – barely any longer, a little wider and a little stouter in height – and comes cloaked in aluminum body panels that bare more than a passing resemblance to the shapes of its big brothers, but tauter and with design elements all its own. The 570S rides on Pirelli P-Zero Corsa rubber on staggered alloys measuring 19 inches up front and 20 in the rear, and even comes standard with carbon-ceramic brakes. Meanwhile the two-seat cockpit packs a digital instrument cluster, seven-inch touchscreen display, audio systems with four, eight or twelve speakers and extensive customization options.
We'll have to wait just a couple more days until McLaren takes the veil off the thing at the New York Auto Show to learn more and to see it up close. There'll be more variants available in the future as well. But this already gives us – and its German rivals – plenty to chew on.
