2019 McLaren 570S

2019-McLaren-570S-Exterior-1
Owning a McLaren has always been a symbol of power and achievement. The automaker has never been shy about its racing-inspired engines and designs. The 2019 McLaren 570S, however, makes it a bit more reachable and even a smidgen more practical. McLaren says the 570S provides “day-to-day usability and drivability.” Translated, this means more luggage space and interior storage space. It still, at its core, is a world-class two-seat sports car with exceptional power and acceleration. All the iconic McLaren touches are there like the dihedral doors and dramatic, bold styling. It just may be time for you to step into a McLaren.

Ready for Launch, Ready for Lunch

McLaren's “day-to-day usability” proclamation should not convey the 570S is the car to choose for a family outing. It has racing DNA through every strand of its carbon fiber tub. The twin-turbo 3.8 liter V8 engine will get you where you want to go quickly. Mounted behind the cockpit, this throaty power plant generates 563 hp and 443-lb-ft of torque. A sequential 7-speed gearbox drives the rear wheels to a top speed of 204 mph. Don't think the McLaren can get from zero to 60 in about 3.2 seconds. McLaren is obsessive about weight, with a lightweight but nearly indestructible Carbon Monocell chassis. It has a stealthy dry weight of just 2989 lbs.

From the Track to the Driveway

The 2019 McLaren 570S offers some nice conveniences and an abundance of practical technology that make it a bit more “daily drivable”. These include little things like a tad more upright setting, a vanity mirror, and even cup holders. There is more space for luggage and even a well-placed set of golf clubs. Leather seating is a bit thicker and the dihedral doors make entrances and exits easier. A TFT Instrument cluster serves to keep you informed of speed, gear selection, and rpm. Secondary data is provided in outer sections. A 7” touchscreen keeps you entertained and connected. A 4-speaker, 240-watt audio system is standard. The interior is uncluttered yet elegant. 2019-McLaren-570S-Interior

Attention Grabbing Design

The 2019 McLaren 570S uses a variety of bold intakes, vents, and curves to carve through the wind while creating a stunning design. Sparkling LED headlamps and muscular curves lead to the teardrop cabin and finish with flying butteresses. A racing-inspired rear end is elegantly trimmed in slimline LED light blade LED tail lights. Then, of course, there is those distinctive upward-swing dihedral doors that create an additional “wow factor” to this already impressive sports car.

Permission to Drive Daily

No, the 2019 570S may not be for everyone, but what McLaren wants to ultimately do is give those who are pulled toward it permission to drive it daily. It is priced in a “gateway” range to be more accessible and designed to be just a bit more practical. The 2019 570S just may remove some barriers for those who may have otherwise dismissed the thought. What's stopping you?

2020 McLaren 720S

The most challenging part of describing the 2020 McLaren 720S is deciding whether it is more like a fighter jet or a Formula 1 race car. Maybe it's time to recognize that the 2020 McLaren 720S is just what it is, an exotic supercar that appeals to just about all the senses, and does so intentionally. Incredibly light, insanely powerful and almost unimaginably aerodynamic. The 2020 McLaren 720S is created with purposeful appeal for those who appreciate the unique qualities of an exceptional supercar. If price is an obstacle, move on. If not, move forward. This is an automobile crafted to lift you to the new levels you may be seeking to achieve. The 2020 McLaren 720S has been called the “everyday supercar.” If every day was your birthday and Christmas rolled into one. A Thrill Ride is Just the Push of a Pedal Away The McLaren 720S for 2020 is packed with power from a 4.0 liter, twin-turbocharged V-8 engine that produces a thrilling 710 hp at 7500 rpm. This translates to 568 lb-ft of torque. The twin-turbo's talents however, are saved for the open road. This creates two definitive experiences, one that is smooth around town. The other, when the pedal is pushed to coax them to life. It is then you are rocketed forward. In real terms, this means the 720S will propel you from zero to 60 in a mere 2.8 seconds. It will soar over a quarter mile track in just 10.4 seconds. The 7-speed dual clutch pairs superbly with the gearbox in providing a “hands-on” feel whether in Track, Comfort or Sport mode. Larger, carbon fiber shift paddles behind the uncluttered steering wheel enhance the driving experience. This is a thrill ride you'll never tire of, and never tire of sharing. Chiseled to Perfection Outside, the dramatic forward-cabin design is chiselled to perfection, with every curve, vent and airflow included purposefully. Yours is the best seat in the house, looking down the nose of the 720S to the road ahead. Like the front seat of a roller coaster, this alone provides a higher level of thrills. The driver-centric cabin places all your controls within easy reach. The 2020 McLaren 720S is built around the racing-inspired MonoCage II carbon fiber tub. The MonoCage II provides a safer cocoon for those inside. It delivers a more rigid ride, one that is lower to the ground than most. The premium Pirelli P Zero tires are staggered slightly higher in the rear, gripping the pavement. Large, powerful carbon-ceramic brakes provide confident stopping power. Fun in Functional You may not take your 2020 McLaren 720S for a weekend of camping or kayaking, but it will certainly stow enough luggage for a weekend trip to your favorite retreat. It is comfortable for longer stretches of roadway and attention has been paid to providing a superior view. It drives smoothly and easily in the city and will quickly put traffic behind you on the open road. “Everyday supercar” may depend on what every day is like for you, or perhaps what you want it to be. We personally invite you to experience the new line-up of McLaren motorcars, including the 720S for yourself. Slide into its aircraft-inspired cockpit and bring its powerful V-8 twin turbocharged engine to life. Experience the 720S fully as your confidence grows.
