McLaren has officially unveiled the 570S Coupe, ahead of its public debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show.
According to the British carmaker, the 570S Coupe features an evolution of the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine which produces 570 hp at 7,400 rpm and 600 Nm of torque at 5,000-6,500 rpm. It is mated to a 7-speed SSG transmission that allows the supercar to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, 0-200 km/h in just 9.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 328 km/h.
This power is brought under control with standard-fit carbon ceramic brakes, fitted behind a newly designed range of forged alloy wheel options with P Zero Corsa tyres as standard from McLaren technical partner, Pirelli - 225/35/R19 on the front and 285/35/R20 on the rear. The model also has its own newly-developed suspension system ensuring enhanced levels of driver engagement and refinement on both road and track.
The 570S Coupe shows an evolution in the design direction for McLaren, with the McLaren 'face' seen on models in the Super Series and Ultimate Series sharpened further. The intricately designed dihedral doors, a McLaren design signature since the iconic F1, possess a three dimensional form including a 'floating' door tendon which houses a discreet door button.
The rear of the car is clean and uncluttered, with LED light blade rear lamps which follow the form of the sculpted panels. It features an aluminium mesh allowing effective heat evacuation as well as a view into the engine bay. This sits below a concave rear window, another signature Sports Series Coupe design cue. The twin exhausts exit below the rear bumper, either side of a newly designed and highly intricate rear diffuser.
Like every McLaren, the cabin of the 570S Coupe has been designed around the driver, with a clear focus on engagement, visibility, functionality and more than any McLaren before it, day-to-day usability and space. It gets a new TFT digital instrument cluster and a 7-inch IRIS touchscreen system with integrated climate control functionality, Bluetooth connectivity and DAB digital / SIRIUS satellite radio, mounted on a ‘floating’ centre console. At an additional cost, customers can order Alcantara and Nappa leather upholsteries as well as a carbon fiber trim. McLaren is also offering a superior 8-speaker sound system as well as a 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system with 1,280-watt of power.
Further details of the McLaren 570S will be confirmed following the global reveal, which will take place on April 1 at the New York Auto Show.
