Vehicle Description
2019 McLaren 570s Coupe
Arguably, the best thing to come out of New Zealand, outside of
those tasty green Kiwi fruits, was Bruce McLaren. An engineering
major, then college dropout, McLaren became the youngest driver to
win a Formula One Grand Prix also winning the 24 Hours of LeMans in
1966 among many other races. After the production run of the now
legendary F1 ended in 2000, the company went into a bit of a
hibernation and didn't return to production car manufacturing until
2015.
For consignment, a 2019 McLaren 570s with a title verified 2,978
actual miles. A 562 horsepower supercar that will reach 60 mph in
about three seconds. In the hierarchy of Cars and Coffee
desirability, McLarens eclipse some of the more common exotics that
show up. Despite their power and speed prowess, 570s' have been
tested and touted for their everyday drivability, even put on par
with Mazda Miatas for ease of driving in L.A. traffic (MotorTrend
2019).
Exterior
Since most of us will never see the inside of a McLaren, at least
from the driver's seat, it's the distinctive outside that causes
the blood to flow, eliciting excitement with its aggressive
grinning front end, angular body panels, black accented side cove
on the Silica White body, and a tail that is comprised of a
dizzying array of shapes and ducts and spoilers, dominated by the
Dark Palladium black. McLaren Special Operations provides the
carbon fiber wing as part of the High Downforce Kit which adds an
astounding 75kg of extra downforce. Integrated side ducts hide in
the blackness of the accents while 19 and 20-inch aluminum wheels
hide from nothing and reveal bright orange brake calipers. The
"speedmark" McLaren logo, a boomerang shaped abstraction made to
emulate vortices created by a rear wing, is found referenced
elsewhere on the car including in the shape of the LED taillights
and on the headlight surrounds. As a pampered, low mileage
supercar, no exterior flaws were detected.
Interior
Opening the butterfly doors creates a wide ingress and to navigate
the massive support sill, one leads with their butt to make entry.
Meanwhile, observing the doors above us, geometric patterns seen in
no other vehicle make up the panels with leather door trim inserts,
black with orange stitching. McLaren calls them sport seats, but
these leather clad beauties would likely be right at home in a
Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, providing ample side seat and bolster
support with the final hug provided by bright orange seat belts to
match the stitching. The leather wrapped steering wheel, as you
would expect, is ergonomic and perfectly sized, spoked by carbon
fiber protrusions from the hub and adorned with paddle shifters and
the speedmark. In front, a full digital dash that opens with an
image of the car, in case you forget the coolness that surrounds
you, then a colorful and programmable array of gauges and
information. A 7" touchscreen on the center tower features
navigation, terrestrial radio along with XM and Bluetooth
capabilities, USB connectivity, all feeding into a 4 speaker audio
system. The dash pad is leather which also hugs the center console
carbon fiber plate that is home to transmission settings and gear
select. And a cupholder, of course. Low pile black carpet covers
the storage shelf behind the seats and the floor while slotted
pedals save some weight. The condition of the full cloth headliner
above is consistent with the rest of the interior, just about
flawless.
Drivetrain
The mid-mounted engine is a 3.8 liter twin turbocharged V8, fuel
injected and rated at 562 horsepower. Meanwhile, a 7-speed
electrohydraulic manual transmission sends the horses to the rear
wheels with 3.30 gears. No other configuration would do, and power
disc brakes are supplied to 15.5" rotors in front and 15" rotors in
back.
Undercarriage
The underside is almost completely covered in belly pans and other
than some minor scuffs on an aluminum plate, it's clean and
undamaged. The wheel components can be seen and are clean from this
inside perspective. What's not seen is the Fabspeed X-pipe that's
been added to the dual exhaust system which travels through
original components including the mufflers. While up on the lift,
we get a good look at the rear splitter under the car and it's a
work of functional art.
Drive-Ability
After a series of arm wrestling matches and rounds of rock paper
scissors, we decided who would take the short ride around the loop,
(actually, there's only one person assigned to this task). This
spaceship of a car is docile at low speeds but the hum of the
powerful V8 is ever present and the confidence of speed is relayed
to the sole of your right foot. The cabin is comfortable enough and
visibility beyond the rear window is necessarily enhanced by the
sport side mirrors. The obvious features not hidden in menus all
worked as they should on this exclusive piece of machinery. While
Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at
the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions
will be working at the time of your purchase.
Here's a special vehicle for the discerning automotive enthusiast
and we're thrilled to represent this fine specimen of a McLaren
570s. This is peak automotive engineering and technology wrapped in
a black and white land rocket ready to enjoy for what it was
designed to do, drive. Prancing horses, raging bulls, poisonous
snakes, and even Godzilla bow in respect when the McLaren shows up.
This is the top of the food chain. Don't be the missing link, call
the mall today with your interest.
