When we learned the McLaren 570S specs, we were awestruck at the first model in their Sports Series. We have driven and sold many examples of this proper British supercar, so here is all you need to know about it.

The 570S is powered by the M838TE twin-turbo V8 engine, which now has 30% new components. Power received from the engine is rated at 562 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque. Combined with the car’s mid-engine rear-wheel drive layout and it will rocket from 0-60 mph in just 2.7 seconds and 0-100 mph in 6.0 seconds. The 570S will top out at 204 mph, making many of us wonder if their power ratings are a bit conservative.

Because an engine so powerful in such a light car is a recipe for calamity, the McLaren 570S specs include a complex torque management system. Torque is progressive by RPM, MPH, and which gear the transmission is in. The wastegates are fully electronic, and they have precise control over boost pressure. If you need more, the aftermarket has proven the engine capable of more boost and higher RPM. Starting with a muffler delete, you will be able to unlock the true potential of your McLaren 570S.
