The McLaren 570S is a high-performance sports car that combines cutting-edge technology, lightweight engineering, and thrilling driving dynamics. Introduced to the Saudi Arabian market in 2016 as part of McLaren’s Sports Series lineup, the 570S was designed to offer supercar performance with everyday usability. Positioned below the Super Series models like the 650S, the 570S brought McLaren’s Formula 1-inspired engineering to a broader audience. Production continued until 2021, and the 570S remains a popular choice in KSA’s used supercar market.
The McLaren 570S is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 562 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed automated manual transmission. The 570S accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 328 km/h. The carbon-fiber MonoCell II chassis contributes to the car’s low weight and exceptional handling. Its double-wishbone suspension and Proactive Chassis Control system provide outstanding cornering ability while maintaining a balance between comfort and precision.
The McLaren 570S features an aerodynamic and sculpted design that enhances both performance and aesthetics. The low-slung profile, signature dihedral doors, and teardrop-shaped LED headlights give it a striking presence. Large side air intakes, aggressive front splitters, and a rear diffuser work together to optimize airflow and cooling. The flowing roofline and muscular rear haunches highlight the car’s athletic stance. Every design element serves a functional purpose, contributing to stability, cooling, and downforce.
Inside, the 570S features a minimalist yet luxurious cabin that prioritises the driving experience. The interior features high-quality materials such as leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber. The driver-oriented cockpit features a digital instrument cluster and McLaren’s IRIS infotainment system, which includes a portrait-oriented touchscreen for navigation, media, and connectivity.
The sports seats provide excellent support for spirited driving while remaining comfortable for longer journeys. Though not overly spacious, the cabin offers a front storage compartment for small luggage, making it more practical than most supercars.
The McLaren 570S offers relatively good fuel efficiency for a supercar, averaging around 10.9 km/l in mixed driving conditions. Thanks to its lightweight construction and efficient twin-turbo V8, it strikes a balance between performance and acceptable running costs for its class.
The 570S is equipped with advanced technology tailored for performance and convenience. Proactive Chassis Control offers adaptive damping with Normal, Sport, and Track modes. The IRIS infotainment system provides touchscreen controls for navigation, Bluetooth, and media functions. Safety features include stability control, traction control, ABS, multiple airbags, and carbon-ceramic brakes for superior stopping power. Parking sensors and a rearview camera aid with daily usability.
In KSA, the McLaren 570S was available in a wide range of colors, including Ventura Orange, Onyx Black, Storm Grey, Silica White, and Vermillion Red. McLaren Special Operations (MSO) offered additional bespoke color options for buyers seeking a personalized touch.
In the KSA used supercar market, the McLaren 570S competes with the Porsche 911 Turbo S, Audi R8 V10 Plus, and Ferrari 488 GTB. While those models offer a blend of luxury and speed, the 570S stands out for its extreme focus on lightweight engineering and handling precision. It remains an excellent choice for enthusiasts who prioritize driving dynamics and exotic styling without sacrificing daily usability.
