2016 McLaren 570 S

The 2016 McLaren 570S is a hand-built, midengine, twin-turbo V8 sports car that scoots to the tune of 562 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. Its main carbon-fiber body structure is exceptionally strong, and with thin aluminum body panels, it's one of the lightest cars in this exclusive segment. This bestows the 570S with intrinsic speed and handling talents, backed up by an adaptive suspension and sophisticated electronics that'll make just about anyone feel like a hero behind the wheel. The 570S is the first model in McLaren's new Sport Series line of cars, slotting below the Ferrari-fighting Super Series (650S and 675LT Coupe and Spider models) and the million-dollar-plus Ultimate Series (P1). The Sport Series was designed with greater everyday comfort in mind and intended to start at a more accessible price -- that is, if you consider six figures accessible. Performance & mpg Like all other McLaren models, the 570S has its engine mounted behind the passenger compartment, which keeps the majority of the car's mass centralized. The 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 generates 562 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. It's based off the more powerful 650S engine, though McLaren says 30 percent of the engine parts are new and specific to the 570S. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automated manual transmission, which is the only transmission offered. First seen in the 650S, this transmission utilizes two clutches, but newly revised electronics can better coordinate ignition times with shifts, achieving gearchanges that can be aggressively positive, or smooth and seamless (depending on your driving mode). EPA-estimated fuel economy for the 570S is 19 mpg combined (16 city/23 highway), which is on the high end for the class, and is only slightly outperformed by the smaller turbocharged flat-6 in the Porsche 911 Turbo S (20 mpg combined/17 city/24 highway). Launch control is standard, and McLaren claims the 570S sprints to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds, passing the quarter-mile mark in 10.9 seconds at 137 mph. Top cruising speed is a leisurely 204 mph. Standard safety equipment on 2016 McLaren 570S models includes antilock brakes; electronic stability control; dual front, knee and side curtain airbags; a rearview camera and parking sensors. If you want to make a car faster, two different approaches are to add power or subtract weight. The latter of these solutions comes with other perks. McLaren focused on minimizing weight, and much like wielding a lighter tool makes it easier to be precise, lightness is a keystone for how well the 570S behaves. It also retained a hydraulic-assisted steering rack, which is far less complicated to tune for just the right weight and road feel. With less mass, stopping comes easier, too. The 570S comes with carbon brakes as standard that are easy to modulate in both casual and spirited driving. The brake pedal is about as firm as we've experienced in a modern street car, which helps maintain feel and confidence when braking hard from higher speeds. Powertrain and handling settings are split between two dials, and independently configurable. The three modes for each system include Normal, Sport and Track, which dramatically alter the response of the car at each step. There are also three modes of stability control (On, Dynamic and Off) that progressively lower the electronic safety net as your confidence level grows. Unlike many traditional stability control systems, the 570S is significantly more transparent, which may lead you to think the electronics are less involved than they actually are.
The modes offer vastly different driving experiences, ranging from smooth and civil to manically playful. In the normal settings, the 570S is as easy to drive as an automatic 3 Series BMW.
