The 570S becomes part of the Super Series family, and uses the same M838TE 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 found in all of McLaren’s other current models. The 570S’s engine features a bespoke tune, punching out 419kW and 600Nm.

Performance-wise, McLaren says the 570S can shoot from 0-100km/h in 3.2 seconds, 0-200km/h in 9.5 seconds, and can run on to an eye-watering top speed of 328km/h.
