McLaren-570-GT

McLaren 570 family supercars include the 570S and 570GT coupes and the droptop 570S Spider, which share a manic 562-hp twin-turbo V-8 that emits an intoxicating timbre. While the S versions prioritize verve, the GT variant provides a softer ride and more luggage space. Regardless of terminology, every 570 guarantees stares with a mid-engine design that features dihedral doors and umpteen air intakes. Strap into the driver’s seat for a thrilling experience that includes ballistic acceleration, telepathic steering, and incredible grip. Sure, there are more sophisticated supercar options, but few exhibit the euphoria of the 2018 McLaren 570 ensemble.

McLaren is a company that markets itself based on past and present racing endeavors, and that is what helps create phenomenal road cars with advanced engineering trickling down to more “normal” vehicles. McLaren builds race cars for the road, but the brand’s big-wigs also realize that sometimes a more relaxed approach is required. Enter the 570GT. Based on the sporty 570S, this model is a grand tourer with a little less focus on ultimate performance, and a little more interest in comfort. Nevertheless, the brand’s famous 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 that does duty is the 570S is still on display in the GT, with the same figures of 562 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. This makes it capable of getting from 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 204 mph.

McLaren Automotive does a remarkable job of baking suspension comfort into its supercars. For all their otherworldly performance specs, the cars don’t beat you up too much on pockmarked roads. The exemplifies that virtue, as in addition to a new body with more luggage space behind the seats, it has a gentler chassis tune intended for the type of grand touring-type drives for which it was named.

Stunning shape, stunning engine

The 570GT makes a big impression before I even open the door. Its Volcano Orange paint glows in the sunlight, while the low and wide nose gives the McLaren classic mid-engined car proportions. The doors are a theatrical show in themselves, swing and rotating upward. Behind the cabin, a sideways-opening glass hatch permits access to the cargo hold that distinguishes the GT from other 570 models. It’ll hold just 7.8 cubic feet of stuff but is a nice addition to the 5.3 cubes that fit in the “frunk.” The most dramatic angle is from behind, where the McLaren’s bodywork flows in gentle curves. Skinny, curving LED taillights complement the massive functional diffuser to inject a real sense of occasion.

Features

McLaren is still a relative newcomer to the supercar market’s mainstream, but it feels strange to say that today given the brand’s rapid rise to a position of prominence. The engineering marvel that was the McLaren F1 can claim to have singlehandedly laid the foundations of the hypercar sector back in the 1990s, but it was the arrival of the MP4-12C in 2011 that first signposted Mclaren’s ambition to be mentioned in the same breath as bigger volume performance brands like FerrariLamborghini and Porsche.
