~$205,000
Engine: 3.8L twin-turbocharged V8
Torque: 600 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~3.4 s
The McLaren 570GT was created as a more refined and road-focused sibling to the track-leaning 570S. It retained the same 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8, producing 570 PS (562 hp) and 600 Nm of torque, sending power to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. With a 0–100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 328 km/h, the GT still delivered supercar-level performance, but with greater long-distance comfort.
The GT received softer suspension tuning, quieter exhaust, and more compliant steering to improve ride quality over long journeys. Its carbon fiber Monocell II chassis remained exceptionally rigid and lightweight, helping keep curb weight to just 1,350 kg dry. With the Proactive Chassis Control system and double-wishbone suspension, it offered excellent high-speed stability, confidence-inspiring dynamics, and surprisingly good bump absorption for a mid-engine supercar.
While the 570S was sharp and edgy, the 570GT was smoother, quieter, and better suited for grand touring, sacrificing little in terms of raw speed. It struck an ideal balance between performance and usability, making it one of the most livable McLarens ever built.
Body Styles
The McLaren 570GT was a two-door, two-seat fastback coupé, distinguished from the 570S by its unique side-hinged rear glass hatch, which opened to reveal 220 liters of luggage space on a leather-lined touring deck behind the seats. This was in addition to the 150-liter front trunk, giving the 570GT a combined 370 liters of storage — impressive for a mid-engine supercar.
Its silhouette was low, wide, and aerodynamically sculpted, with dihedral doors, large side air intakes, and a teardrop-shaped glasshouse. Unlike the 570S, the 570GT lacked rear air brake deployment and featured quieter exhaust tips and softer damping, contributing to its more elegant, subdued design.
The panoramic fixed glass roof, with solar attenuation and noise insulation, further emphasized the GT character. Measuring about 4.53 meters in length, the car offered a refined stance with curved shoulders, integrated splitters and diffusers, and minimalist elegance, while maintaining McLaren’s signature design DNA.
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
“570” refers to the car’s PS output (570 metric horsepower), and “GT” stands for Grand Touring, indicating its role as the more refined, comfort-oriented model within McLaren’s Sports Series. Unlike the “S” (Sport) in 570S, the GT badge suggests longer-distance, road-friendly driving.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The McLaren 570GT was offered in an elegant and subtly expressive range of exterior colors, distinguishing it from its sharper, track-focused sibling, the 570S. Standard finishes included timeless metallics like Onyx Black, Storm Grey, Silica White, Vermillion Red, and Pacific Blue, all highlighting the car’s sculpted, teardrop-shaped body. The MSO Defined and MSO Bespoke programs expanded the range dramatically, offering exclusive finishes such as XP Green, Papaya Spark, Paris Blue, and Amethyst Black, along with satin and pearlescent variants.
The 570GT’s signature styling element was its side-hinged panoramic glass hatch, which opened curbside to reveal an additional 220 liters of luggage space on a leather-lined rear touring deck. The glazed roof featured UV-filtering and sound-insulated glass, and was optionally available with an electrochromic tinting system, allowing the glass to darken or lighten electronically — enhancing the GT's refined character.
Inside, the 570GT emphasized long-distance comfort and material richness more than other models in the Sports Series. Upholstery was offered in Softgrain luxury leather, available in refined shades such as Jet Black, Saddle Tan, Porcelain, Cohiba Brown, and Carbon Black, with optional contrast stitching, quilted patterns, and embossed McLaren logos. The MSO Interior Trim Collection allowed for unique leather tones, Alcantara detailing, and color-matched interior panels.
Interior trim accents ranged from brushed aluminum and carbon fiber to Satin Tan, Piano Black, or open-pore wood veneers, depending on the configuration. The cabin also featured electric-adjust heated memory seats, dual-zone climate control, and Bowers & Wilkins 12-speaker surround sound in the optional Touring Pack, further aligning the 570GT with grand touring expectations.
Wheel choices reflected the car’s blend of performance and elegance. Standard 570GTs came equipped with 15-spoke cast alloy wheels in Silver or Stealth finish, measuring 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear. Optional super-lightweight forged wheels were available in Gloss Black, Diamond Cut, or Graphite Grey, many of which featured unique turbine-style or split-spoke designs optimized for cooling and weight savings.
Tires were Pirelli P Zero high-performance compounds, with P Zero Corsa available for sportier configurations. Braking was handled by carbon-ceramic discs with aluminum calipers, available in multiple finishes — including McLaren Orange, Azores, Red, Silver, and Black — often embossed with the McLaren wordmark. The low, planted stance of the 570GT was accentuated by its flowing beltline, aero-sculpted doors, and minimal overhangs, with the wheels serving as key visual anchors that emphasized both power and poise.

vs Competitors
The 570GT competed with the Porsche 911 Turbo S, Audi R8 V10 Plus, Aston Martin DB11 V8, and Ferrari California T. While the Porsche offered all-weather performance and the Aston prioritized comfort, the 570GT struck an ideal middle ground — more engaging than a GT, but more livable than a track weapon.
It offered McLaren’s Formula 1-derived chassis tuning, with a user-friendly interface and daily drivability that many mid-engine exotics lacked. Its closest rival dynamically was the R8, but the 570GT delivered more exclusivity, sharper feedback, and a genuine carbon fiber monocoque, giving it superior torsional rigidity and lightness.
Fun Fact
The 570GT was the first McLaren to prioritize daily usability and grand touring comfort, marking a shift in brand philosophy. Its side-hinged glass hatch, unique to the GT, opened toward the curb on right-hand-drive cars, and toward traffic on left-hand-drive cars, a quirky but deliberate engineering choice. It also featured the quietest exhaust of any McLaren, until the release of the hybrid Artura — making it the go-to model for buyers seeking subtlety over sonic drama.
