Lighter. Stronger. More responsive. One of the many McLaren technologies the Sports Series shares with its Formula 1™ cousins is its carbon fi bre construction. The MonoCell II weighs just 75kg, yet its immense rigidity and strength means that – unlike most other convertibles – the 570S Spider requires no additional stiff ening of the chassis. The twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre McLaren engine delivers a smooth surge of torque over a broad rev range and a class-leading 570PS. Combined with the lightweight construction, this gives the 570S Spider an outstanding power-to-weight ratio. The 570S Spider stops as impressively as it accelerates. Carbon ceramic brakes fi tted with 6-piston calipers at the front and four-pistons at the rear need only 32 metres to take the Spider from 100km/h to standstill. All Sports Series models are equally at home in the city as on a dynamic Alpine roadway. And if the desire takes you, the car is well equipped for the thrill of the track. The Active Dynamics Panel lets you select the optimum setting for any road or track condition. Choose Normal, Sport or Track and the car responds accordingly – from a (relatively) sedate drive in town to an adrenalin-fuelled lap. Sports Series 570S Spider Lighter. Stronger.
