[VIDEO] McLaren 570S Launch Control
16:26A new video highlighting the Launch Control of the McLaren 570S has ended up on the web.
The McLaren 570s is truly an amazing ride, it is the first addition to the new Sports Series range, followed by the 540C, and it is making the brand more affordable. But is this really capable of providing you with your daily dose of adrenalin? Well, the answer is “yes” because any car that has the Launch Control function is good enough for us. The clip posted below is showing us the exotic vehicle using this feature, so may want to take a closer look at it.
McLaren is offering the 570S as a rival for the Audi R8 V10 Plus and the Porsche 911 Turbo S, amongst others. This has a starting price of 184,900 USD, over-seas, making it 80,000 USD cheaper than its larger brother, the 650S. On its local market, the vehicle starts from 143,250 GBP. Under its hood it is making use of the same 3.8 liter twin turbo V8 engine, found on all McLaren vehicles, starting with the long-gone MP4-12C and ending with the P1 hypercar. In this case, the unit is rated at 570 HP (419 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque, allowing the sports car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds and to go up to a top speed of 328 km/h (204 mph). The 570S has a carbon fiber monocoque, a new suspension system, carbon ceramic brakes and 19- / 20-inch wheels, front to rear.
