New McLaren 570S is Britain’s Porsche 911 rival - pictures

McLaren's 570 S is set to be revealed at the New York Motor Show.

The car is positioned to Rival the Porsche 911 Turbo S.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Although it’s the baby of McLaren’s range, there’s nothing junior about the way the 570S performs.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">McLaren 570S can blast from 0-62mph in a scintillating time of 3.2 seconds.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The importance of the 570S, and subsequent Sports Series models, to McLaren’s fortunes can’t be underestimated.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Despite producing 150Nm less torque than the Porsche Turbo S and using rear rather than four-wheel drive, the 570S is only one-tenth slower from 0-62mph.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The 204mph top speed is 6mph faster than the Porsche’s and only 3mph down on the 650S.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The front design bears a striking resemblance to the McLaren 650S and P1, although blades in the bumpers are unique 570S touch.</span></p>

The 570S weighs just&nbsp;<span class="s1">1,313kg – a massive 292kg lighter than the 911 Turbo S and a useful 17kg less than the 650S.</span>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Economy of </span><span class="s2">25.5mpg and CO</span><span class="s3">2</span><span class="s2"> emissions of 258g/km</span><span class="s1"> represent improvements of 1.4mpg and 17g/km over the 650S.</

Total luggage space is&nbsp;<span class="s1">150 litres.</span>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The concave rear windscreen will become a Sports Series signature, claims McLaren.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The 570S is actually 18mm longer and 103mm wider than the 650S.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Unique adaptive dampers are fitted as standard, along with front and rear anti-roll bars, a double wishbone suspension design at each end and carbon-ceramic brake discs.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">There are three settings for the drivetrain – Normal, Sport and Track.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A a blacked-out ‘tendon’ along the sides of the car houses the door button, reduces drag and cools the engine.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Subtle flying buttresses in the C-pillar add yet more flair to the design and boost downforce, while a P1-style tail-light signature, huge diffuser and discreet twin tailpipes provide the drama at the rea

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you want something more ‘in your face’, an optional styling pack adds deeper bodywork and a fixed rear wing.</span></p>

<p class="p1">With the addition of the 570S, McLaren's British supercar range is shaping up...</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The heart of the Super Series range is a development of the MP4 12C that went before it. The car is faster, louder and more comfortable than its predecessor.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Detuned and more comfort-orientated version of 650S is sold exclusively in the Asian market. McLaren says it’s the most refined model it’s ever built.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Aimed at the Ferrari 458 Speciale, the 675LT features a longtail airbrake at the rear, a subtly reshaped front bumper and more carbon to bring the weight down.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">More powerful than a Formula One car but perfectly driveable on the road, the McLaren P1 proves what’s possible with hybrid tech, securing the future of the supercar.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Only driveable on track and not homologated for any race series, the McLaren P1 GTR is an extremely expensive track toy, yet a sensational piece of engineering.</span></p>
