McLaren announces 570s, baby of the range, to be launched at New York Auto Show

McLaren has announced that it will be launching the 570S — the baby in its Sports Series range — at the New York Auto Show, which kicks off next week.

According to the British performance car maker, the 570S will be a V8 powered, carbon fibre structured two seater. McLaren says that, like the other cars in the Sports Series range, the car will share its DNA with the Super Series and Ultimate Series that sit above it in the McLaren hierarchy.

In line with the naming convention begun with the 650S, the number 570 gives away the power output of this first McLaren Sports Series model: 570PS, which equates to 562 in horsepower.

McLaren also claims that the 570S Coupé marks the first time McLaren has offered its pioneering and race-derived technologies in the sports car segment.
