Each version of the car will be hand-assembled in Woking, England and is said to maintain the same electrifying pace, dynamic excellence and impressive refinement as other Super Sports cars. “The McLaren 570S Spider is the most attainable McLaren Spider to date and adds yet another dimension to the McLaren Sports Series family,” says Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive. “This is a convertible without compromise; its mid-engined layout and carbon fibre MonoCell II chassis guarantee the same thrilling dynamic performance and exceptional driver involvement enjoyed in a 570S Coupé, but with the added attraction of a retractable hard-top that delivers the extra exhilaration of roof-down motoring.” There is an additional optional sports system that features an ESG to channel exhaust sound towards the cabin.

Powering the new Spider is a potent 3.8-litre, twin-turbocharged McLaren V8 engine which produced 570PS and torque of 600Nm.

The car has a power to weight ratio of 419PS-per-tonne - making it lighter and more powerful than comparable sports cars. This will allow the 570S to accelerate for zero to 62mph in just 3.2 seconds and to 124mph in 9.6 seconds and has a top speed of 204mph with the roof up. When the roof is down it can still reach a top speed of 196mph and the car has an average fuel economy of 26.6mpg. McLaren’s new Spider has racecar-style, double wishbone suspension with steel springs, twin-value adaptive dampers and anti-roll bars calibrated to the same specification as the 570S Coupe.

There are three driving modes - Normal, Sport or Track - which modifies the suspension making it firmer and softer. The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) includes a ‘Dynamic’ mode with reduced intervention and increased ‘driftability’. Inside the car there is a luxury cabin that blends quality and technology with the hand-stitched leather on the seats and the dashboard and the 10-inch TFT main instrument cluster and centrally mounted, seven-inch IRIS touchscreen with climate control and infotainment functionality.
