The 570S Spider is motivated by a 562-horsepower, 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. The 0-60 mph comes in 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 204 mph. Those acceleration specs are a fraction slower than the 675LT Spider , but identical to the 570S Coupe. One of the neatest features is the 570S Spider's retractable, hardtop roof that takes 15 seconds to open or close and can be engaged at vehicle speeds of up 25 mph. Top speed with the top down is 196 mph, so hang on to your hat.
For starters, the 570S Spider is, to my eyes, not really a convertible. It's sort of more than a targa, but also less than a full on convertible. It has those headrest/roll-over/buttress structures you see on a lot of hard top convertibles these days. Obviously, due more to concerns of the legal department than the design gurus. I understand why they are there, from the perspective of you don't want a person rich enough to buy one of your cars potentially getting injured; if they can drop this kind of cash on a car, just think of the legal team they must have.
Mostly, when we get an amazing machine like a McLaren and need to figure out what it's really like, we head for the hills-some remote part of New York state, or New Jersey, or even Connecticut. (It's no wonder so many significant car collections are kept in those places, rather than in the city.) The driving is better, the shots greener, the atmosphere is conducive to thinking more than survival. I set out to do the opposite: a supercar review in NYC. If you're looking for screaming tires, look elsewhere; if you're looking for regular old screaming, we've got you covered.
New York City and supercars are similar in that the upside is way up-the best of mostly everything, a showy sort of exoticism, and enough thrills to kill you if you aren't careful, or sometimes, even if you are. But benefits like that never come without cost, and that cost is compromise. In a 2018 McLaren 570S Spider , for example, the price you pay for a sensuous bit of British supercar magic with an uproariously enchanting 562-hp twin-turbo V-8 and a three-second sprint to 60 mph, is a complete lack of storage space for either people or gear, some inscrutable electronics-trying to figure out how to put the top down without using the owner's manual, which is an intuitive, one-button point-and-shoot exercise in almost every other convertible in existence, made me feel like a dog attempting math-and the possibility that every NYC pothole can become an extinction-level event. Oh, all that plus about $200,000.
My first destination was the Ronald Reagan library in Simi Valley for no reason other than that it has a fun windy road leading up to it, and an F14 at the top. I was hoping to pose the car with Air Force One in the background, but it is tucked safely inside of a giant building, up a flight of stairs for which even the useful ride height lever on the 570's steering wheel couldn't get me enough clearance. With that plan thwarted, I slid the car back down the hill and through the suburban traffic of Simi in search of destination number two: Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village.
With the 570S Spider McLaren shows, once more, that it's possible to offer a super sports car at the level of Ferrari or Lamborghini at prices comparable to general high-end vehicles such as Mercedes Benz , BMW or Audi. For around US$200,000, the British automaker offers a true supercar,” equipped with a potent 3.8L 562hp twin turbo V8 that can go from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 204 mph.
McLaren's Sports Series is gaining a third bodystyle, with the 2018 McLaren 570S Spider chopping off the roof so you can really hear the twin-turbos sing. Based on the original 570S Coupe , the Spider packs a retractable hardtop that splits into two, folding into the bodywork in just 15 seconds. Drivers will be able to operate it at up to 25 mph.
McLaren as a modern carmaker is probably most famous for the P1 , a million-dollar super car introduced in 2012 that boasted 904hp, was made almost entirely of carbon fiber, ran a 9-second quarter-mile well before the Dodge Demon and was built using technology banned from McLaren's F1 race cars. Of course, they didn't make very many of those, and you'll rarely see one out and about as a grocery getter. The McLaren Sports series on the other hand is intended as a daily use, affordable” sportscar. Now, in my world, and I'm assuming yours (if not, hey, call me) a $200,000 two-seater is not what I'd call affordable, but in the world of the million-dollar P1, it's quite reasonable. Pocket change. The 570 comes in a hardtop, a GT variety, and now, a convertible. It was in that last variant, the 570S Spider, that we headed out on the highway at the foot of the Malibu hills in California to see if one can have Roadkill adventures in a decidedly unRoadkilled car.
McLaren Special Operations, the bespoke division of McLaren Automotive, went back into the company's heritage to create a unique color with a family story attached. ‘Muriwai' refers to different episodes of the McLaren story: it is the name of the New Zealand costal community where McLaren founder Bruce McLaren won his first motor race at the age of 15; it is also the name he gave to his family house in Surrey, England and it is now the name of a new special paint color in the McLaren Special Operations catalogue for the recently launched 570S Spider.
As you'd expect, the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 M838TE engine is carried over from the Spider's coupe sibling. It's good for 562 horsepower and 433 lb-ft. of torque, and paired with a 7-speed seamless-shift gearbox. The steering is electro-hydraulic power-assisted, and there are independent adaptive dampers with a choice of Normal, Sport, and Track modes.

Overall, just 46 kg is added to the total weight of the 570S Coupe, with structural rigidity unchanged. The folding hardtop takes just 15 seconds to open or close and can be operated at vehicle speeds of up to 40km/h (25mph). An electronically operated rear window or wind deflector is also included. The Spider gets a 12 mm higher rear spoiler to compensate for a change in dynamics.

Other than losing the roof, not much else is changed from the regular 570S to the Spider. The same twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 makes the same 562 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is the same along with the suspension setup. The only new thing added to the Spider is three additional colors: Curaçao Blue, Vega Blue and Sicilian Yellow.
Revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed at the end of June, new images of the new Mclaren 570S Spider have surfaced, making the Spider the third body style in Mclaren's Sport Series, alongside the Coupe and GT. Three new launch colors have been released: Curacao Blue, Sicilian Yellow and Vega Blue.
The curvaceous mountain roads weaving through the hills of Catalonia, Spain are sublime. They're like silky black ribbons carving through the rolling countryside, devoid of tire-demolishing potholes, pesky slowpoke subcompacts, and police (though there are a few sneaky speed cameras lurking). As such, it's the perfect place to unleash McLaren's latest supercar, the 570S Spider.
The two-seat, rear-wheel drive 570S Spider is the third body style in McLaren's Sports Series portfolio, lining up alongside the 570S Coupe and the 570GT. Compared to the Coupe, the 570S Spider adds an integrated, retractable hardtop that, when lowered, delivers an immersive and exhilarating driving experience. The two-piece roof - which is engineered using technology proven in the McLaren 650S and 675LT Spider models - is constructed of lightweight composite panels and creates a sleek appearance whether raised or lowered. There are no performance compromises. The Spider maintains the same electrifying pace, dynamic excellence and impressive refinement as the 570S Coupe.
Everyone loves a good supercar: gorgeous, aerodynamic, laughably out of reach for almost everyone on the planet. We love to drool over photos of these cars, fully aware that we'll probably never drive one. McLaren wants to change that perception with the release of the 2018 570S Spider, calling it the most attainable” sports car ever.
Known for decades for its success in Formula 1, as an automaker McLaren made headlines with the iconic F1. Now the brand is pushing to become a higher volume automaker, launching the MP4-12C sports car and 12C Spyder as well as the P1 super car. A Porsche 911-fitting model is also in the works, as is a new model slotting between the 12C and P1.
Back in 1994, it took 3000 man-hours over six weeks to hand-build the McLaren F1's carbon fiber monocoque. One might call that inefficient, but given the limited scale of the operation and the mindset behind the car, such methods were within the budget. Luckily, after the F1 showed the world what it was made of, McLaren decided to continue the theme on its road cars, designing every model around carbon tubs ever since.
Inspired by the whitewashed walls, deep blue doors and shutters of the handsome McLaren homestead, Muriwai White paint is white with blue flecks. The color was developed by McLaren Special Operations, Amanda McLaren, Bruce's only child and a brand ambassador for McLaren Automotive and McLaren paint partner AkzoNobel. Amanda returned to her childhood home in the first 570S Spider to be finished in Muriwai White, recalling the importance of the house that shared the same name.
The 2018 McLaren 570S Spider has been officially unveiled ahead of its public debut on 29th June at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The third body style in the McLaren Sports Series joins the Coupe and GT models, using a retractable hardtop with technology derived from the 650S and 675LT Spider models. Given the success of the 570S model, we anticipate McLaren have another success story in the midst!
The two-seat, rear-wheel drive McLaren 570S Spider is the third bodystyle in the McLaren Sports Series portfolio, lining up alongside the Coupé and the GT. Compared to the Coupé, the 570S Spider adds a neatly integrated, retractable hardtop that when lowered delivers an even more immersive and exhilarating driving experience. The two-piece roof - which is engineered using technology proven in the McLaren 650S and 675LT Spider models - is constructed of lightweight composite panels and creates a purposeful, sleek appearance whether closed or lowered.
The interior is completely designed by McLaren, resulting in a very chiq combination of brown leather with black alcantara and carbon fibre elements. This Spider is equipped with two extended option packs. The ‘Luxury Pack' contains; Soft Close Doors, Electric Steering, Bowers and Wilkins audio system, branded floor mats and power adjustable heated seats. The ‘Security Pack' contains; Volumetric alarm, front and rear parking sensors, rear view camera and the car cover.
The car is powered by a new iteration of the 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine already used in the McLaren 650S and P1 , designated M838T E with thirty percent of the parts redesigned. Arranged in the car as a rear-mid engine configuration, it delivers 562 brake horsepower (419 kW) through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. A total dry weight of 1,313 kilograms (2,895 lb) gives the 570S a power to weight ratio of 428 brake horsepower (319 kW) per tonne delivering a fuel economy of 25.5 miles per imperial gallon (11.1 L/100 km; 21.2 mpg‑US) and CO2 emissions of 258 g/km.
The McLaren 570S is a sports car designed and manufactured by McLaren Automotive It was unveiled at the 2015 New York International Auto Show 4 5 McLaren predicts the model will help triple the company's sales volume by 2020, 6 with UK pricing scheduled at £143,250, 1 whilst North American pricing is estimated at $180,000. 1
In the old days, coupe and convertible versions of the same car were alike only in name. But now that McLaren has perfected the carbon fiber monocell” chassis, it is possible to lose the roof without compromising handling or performance. The 2018 McLaren 570S Spider is a critical part of their Track 22 plan; the goal of which is to release a slew of new McLaren models by 2022. For those who want a more practical machine, the Sports Series (570S and 570GT) is a more conventional daily driver. They are not endowed with the fancy active hydraulic suspension, and power seats are still optional. The new 570S Spider trades in the hard top for a two-piece composite roof.

Not to mention, the 570S Spider is one of McLaren's so-called "Sport" series, as opposed to "Super Series" cars like the P1, which means they're kind of entry-level supercars, or McLaren's take on a sports car. That is to suggest, compromise should be less of a concern with cars like 570S-"less" being a relative term, of course. Besides, anyone spending that type of coin on a supercar should know what he's getting into. And in New York City, a global center for finance, entertainment, publishing, advertising, hospitality, and fashion, there are a lot of people with that kind of coin. But, as someone who a.) works for a car publication, that is b.) located in NYC, I've long thought the Big Apple is a self-evidently terrible place to own one of these machines For one thing, you can't drive fast anywhere; mostly, you're going about 25-45 mph at any point within the major city thoroughfares. And that's when you're going any speed at all, because traffic is constant. The roads and most of the bridges are embarrassingly terrible for one of the world's great cities, and also, everyone on the road is an asshole (myself included).
There are some minor dissimilarities in between the two, even though. The Spider's rear spoiler is about fifty percent inches higher than on the coupe. About three new color shades are accessible - Curacao azure, Vega azure, and Sicilian yellow-colored. There's also a new, non-obligatory 10-spoke tire design.
