Engine and Transmission

The Mclaren 520s is lighter, stronger and faster. It is the same 3.8 liter V8 used in other McLaren's which produces 562 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. The all-aluminum twin-turbocharged engine is mounted extremely low in the chassis for superb agility. The 570s is equally at home on the track as it is on the open road.

The powertrain is mated to a 7-speed Seamless Shift Gearbox (SSG) which makes most of the engine power. You can also opt for manual shifters. The gearbox swaps cogs in a blink of an eye and the power are evenly distributed over the rev range.

The 570 S produces the highest amount of horsepower and nothing comes close to it despite of smaller displacement. It wants to thrash every rival in straight line speed. Other rivals are similar in terms of total output.

Acceleration

Designed and developed in collaboration with Ricardo automotive the twin turboV8 takes less than 4 seconds to reach 60 mph and reaches the quarter mile mark under 10 seconds. Performance is nothing short of breathtaking and it reaches to a top speed of 162 miles per hour.

The McLaren 570 S is the fastest among the lot in attaining the 60 mph mark and all of the rivals are almost a second slower. The AMG GT S coupe tails the 570 S for some time.

Ride and Handling

Engineers at Mclaren wanted the 570s to easy going and forgiving on public roads yet providing mind-numbing performance on the track. The 3.8-liter twin turbo V8 delivers supercar punch with a sophisticated ride. Like the bigger McLaren's, the 570s didn't have fully active interlinked hydraulic suspension but comes with adaptive dampers and humble anti-roll bars. The Monoque is completely created out of carbon fiber and weighs just 75kg provides immense rigidity and stiffness that accounts for outstanding driving dynamics.

You can drive the 570s every day and sweep along in the whole experience of an F1 derived powertrain. The 570s uses electro-hydraulic steering which works astonishingly well with tactility and precision. The chassis has been beautifully built for composed driving. The handling is accurate with power delivery, so strong and addictive.

Braking

The Mclaren 570s is equipped with huge carbon ceramic brakes with a six piston front and four piston rear calipers. The calipers are finished in gloss black with silver McLaren text as standard. They are enough to stop you in an emergency situation either on road and track. The brake-steer applies a braking force to the inside wheels for agility. Pedal feel is hard initially but softens up gradually, the standard Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires don't provide much grip on wet roads.

The Mclaren 570 S comes with the best braking performance and surpasses every rival.

Supercars are not meant for fuel efficiency. Surprisingly the McLaren 570s doesn't guzzle gas like a track monster and is able to return 20 mpg combined. The fuel economy ratings are pretty good for this segment. It will not be a cheaper car to drive but earning 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highways makes the best of both words.

The Mclaren's thirsty engine makes 14 mpg in the city, takes it to the bottom of the pile. The GT S coupe is second last and returns 16 mpg in the city.
