McLaren 570S Coupe

McLaren 570S Coupe M2B Edition is Formula 1 inspired anniversary car

McLaren 570S Coupe M2B Edition and The M2B Race Car Can you believe that it is 50 years since McLaren appeared for the first time at Formula 1 at the 1966 Monaco GP. And ever since then all models of the brand feature technology used in motorsport racing, in one way or another. Such example is the 570S Coupe, which is the first Sport Series road-legal model with its carbon fibre MonoCell II, carbon-ceramic brakes and Brake Steer technology all derived from the pinnacle of motorsport.

To celebrate these remarkable 50^th years of success, the company has introduced the McLaren 570S Coupe M2B Edition, which is inspired on brand’s first Formula 1 car – the M2B. The festive 570S Coupe features the same livery as the M2B: central green stripe and silver edging.

Like all other McLarens, this 570S has been hand-built at the McLaren Production Centre (MPC). The build process started with the carbon fibre MonoCell II, which is an innovative passenger cell that forms the core of the 570S and is strong and stiff. It also contributes for 50kg less weight when compare to the aluminium and steel-based rivals.

The M2B served as inspiration for another feature: the car-style double-wishbone suspension with adjustable dampers. Along with it, the 570S also gets Adaptive Dynamics Panel with three modes (Normal, Sport and Track), located in the centre of the luxurious hand-stitched leather interior.

McLaren 570S Coupe M2B Edition is driven by the 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 unit connected to a Shift Gearbox with rocker-shift controls. The engine produces 570PS (562bhp), helping the 570S to accelerate from 0-100kph (0-62mph) in just 3.2 seconds. The top speed has been electronically limited to 328kph (204mph).

The stopping power of the model is ensured by the carbon-ceramic brakes, which have been also derived from Formula 1. The advantage here is that they resist fade even under very hard utilization. In addition, the 570S also uses Brake Steer technology.

All in all, this 570S is the perfect example for what McLaren has always stood for, since the day of M2B’s debut in Monaco.

McLaren 570S Coupe is Making Dynamic Debut at Goodwood

McLaren 570S Coupe and two other McLaren models are going to make first appearance together at the famous Goodwood Festival of Speed. The McLaren 570S Coupe will not only lead the charge at the show but also will make a world dynamic debut. It will join the Supercar Run. Accompanying it will be the P1 GTR and 650S Le Mans. The last to models has a strictly limited production and one can actually rarely see them in public.

This simple fact actually says a lot: it will be the first time when McLaren will preview those models together. Those three cars actually come from a recently announced product line-up: Sports Series, Super Series and Ultimate Series.

McLaren 570S Coupe was revealed at the New York International Auto Show in the beginning of the year. Now it is time for the supercar to make its dynamic debut at the Goodwood Hill. The sports vehicle is powered by 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 engine, which generates 570PS (562bhp), which makes it the most potent model in the recently launched Sports Series.

First customer deliveries of this particular model are expected to start later this year. The car can be also seen on the stage at McLaren House at Goodwood, so if you happen to be there, go and see it.

McLaren 650S Le Mans

McLaren 650S Le Mans is a very special vehicle, carrying a code-name ‘XP1’. The car is actually a result of an experiment, which ended up in the creation of this prototype. It was built by the experts at McLaren Special Operations (MSO), who have worked closely with McLaren F1 designer Peter Stevens.

The vehicle was created with the aim to pay homage to the 20th anniversary of the famous endurance race victory. For this reason it will be produced in a strictly limited run of 50 units only. In fact, these are already sold out.

XP1 has a charming exterior look thanks to the Sarthe Grey paint scheme, which was inspired by the colour of the race-winning McLaren F1 GTR. It features contrasting McLaren Orange highlights, styling enhancements from the 1995 race-winner, and fully-integrated roof-mounted ‘snorkel’ air intake. In addition, its wing louvres are designed to minimize the pressure over the front wheels.

McLaren P1 GTR

McLaren P1 GTR is the third vehicle which will race next to the 650S Le Mans and 570S Coupe in the Supercar Run. As a matter of fact, this model will also make a dynamic debut at the event. This super-car is super-powerful, because it is driven by a 1,000PS (986 bhp) powerplant.

McLaren 650S GT3

McLaren 650S GT3 is the last car which will make a dynamic appearance. The vehicle was unveiled at the same show last year and for one year it has achieved podium finishes in five championships at circuits across North America and Europe.

So if you are near the Goodwood festival of speed and are wondering what to do in the weekend of 26-28 June, then you shouldn’t hesitate to go visit the famous run and McLaren’s stand.

McLaren Reveals 570S Coupe One Day Ahead of Debut

McLaren 570S Coupe Front and Side View Great News! McLaren has actually revealed the 570S Coupe a day before the start of the New York Auto Show. The first in the trilogy Sports Series family is typical for the brand due to its design cues and aggressive sports characteristics. At its heart this is a pure sports car. It has a layout optimized for the driver and shows spectacular performance.

It is no secret (given the name) that this McLaren will be capable of 570PS (562bhp). What’s not known however is the fact that it can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62 mph) in only 3.2 seconds, while the 200 km/h (124 mph) is covered in 9.5 seconds. The top speed stands at 328 km/h (204mph).

The other important fact about the 3.8-litre V8 twin turbo engine is that it includes 30 percent of bespoke components, specific to the model. Next to the 570PS at 7400 rpm, the car can also achieve 600Nm (443 lb-ft) of optimum torque at 5000-6000 rpm. This power is distributed to the rear wheels via seven-speed SSG transmission.

Furthermore, this coupe is actually the first one to carry a specific body-style, which will be then applied to the other vehicles in the Sports Series. Its great power characteristics are due to the bespoke aerodynamic package added to its bodywork.

The aero kit adds aero blades below the front bumper, huge bright LEDs in the headlights and in the blade rear lamps, sculpted bonnet, new design for the doors, aluminium rear fenders and a signature concave rear window. Also notice the twin exhausts exit below the rear bumper.

What we can’t see however is the brand new suspension system that utilizes adaptive dampers with front and rear anti-roll bars. Behind the Pirelli Zero Corsa tyres on the new alloys there are carbon ceramic brakes.

The minimized weight of the car due to the aero components and the carbon fibre MonoCell II chassis not only results in great performance, but also contributes towards fuel efficiency of 25.5mpg and CO2 emissions of 258g/km.

The cabin of every 570S features standard leather wrapped sports seats, dashboard and steering wheel, more stowage space and wide range of technology tweaks like the full infotainment system.

Additional details will be confirmed tomorrow after McLaren 570S debuts at the New York Auto Show.
