What is it?
Lots of McLarens look kinda similar
They all have alpha numeric names
So they can be confusing
This 570 is the entry point
The sport series
600s are super series
But so is the 720 etc
And then the ultimate cars
Like the P1 and Senna, etc
Competition
Kind of Audi R8
Kind of 911 Turbo, maybe GT3
This has carbon tub
Weighs ~3300 lbs
Couple hundred lbs less than R8
A little more than GT3
A little less than Turbo
Engine
Engine compartment doesn’t actually open
Little button and compartment for oil and coolant
Same 3.8 TT V8 as the P1 and 650s
562 hp
443 lbft
Performance
Not HUGE power numbers by today’s standards
But 0-60 in 3 seconds
Remember this is the ENTRY level car
Also does over 200 mph
All the suspension is aluminum
Carbon ceramic brakes
eAdaptive dampers
Looks/Special
Unlike the R8 and unlike the porsche
You NEVER see these things
And it’s SPECIAL
Even with this boring black on black spec
People get so excited about it
AND THE DOORs go up
That’s supercar stuff
Doors
Speaking of doors
They go up
Multi paneled
Two buttons on there
Tow away mode
Engine release
HUGE sill to step over
Digi door handle inside
Mechanical failsafe behind door
Lights
McLaren logos
Wheels
These are obviously aftermarket
$12000 3 piece wheels
Storage
Reasonable size frunk
No green escape PULL, but button
NO glovebox
TINY cupholder
Skinny center console
Door panel storage
Big parcel shelf behind you
Seats
Manual
Heated?
Tech
Very high tech for the time but early beta-era stuff
Full digital cluster allows you to do a lot
You have nose lift on the same stalk as the cluster stuff
Center screen is OK…
Bowers and Wilkins Audio
When you turn the car off it’ll tell you how many days it can sit
Cuz this is probably your 9th car
Controls
The stalks feel uniquely McLaren
The center console buttons
Can’t change mode until you hit activate
Launch mode
Right next to start/stop lol
Push button gear selector…like a Honda…or Maserati lol
PADDLE SHIFTERS are so cool
One single rocker so they shift both ways
The Top
This is the Spider, which adds some weight
But the top is quick
And with the top on it’s like legit nice and quiet
