Mclaren 570 GT 2017

This might be billed as the most refined and luxurious model in the McLaren range, but make no mistake – the McLaren 570GT is still a ferociously fast car capable of mind-blowing performance.

The 570GT is part of McLaren’s ‘Sports Series’, which also boasts a couple of equally spectacular exotics; the 540C and 570S, with all three powered by slightly different versions of the same Ricardo-built 3.7_litre twin-turbo petrol V8

In the GT’s case, the numbers are truly impressive despite its relatively modest engine displacement. But that’s the same with all McLaren road cars – the sheer grunt their engineers are able to extract from a small V8 is just extraordinary

Unleash all 419kW and 600Nm of twist, and the 570 GT is capable of smashing the benchmark 0-100km/h dash in a blistering 3.4 seconds. Push on, and the 200km/h mark comes up in a g-force-assaulting 9.8 seconds flat. To me, this is still a big-league supercar, no question

Those power and torque figures for the GT are identical to the marginally quicker 570S (3.1 sec); the main difference attributed to the 37kg weight penalty carried by the new luxury version. That said, there isn’t another fully-fledged supercar-grade grand tourer within coo-ee of the McLaren, when you consider its $406,800 (plus on-roads) price tag
