McLaren 570S by Novitec
McLaren's 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8
is capable of producing a lot more than the 562 horsepower it offers in the
570S. We know that because McLaren uses a higher-output version of the same in
the 650S. Leave it
to Novitec, to unlock more of the engine's potential.
The German tuner has made a name
for itself customizing Ferraris (with its Novitec Rosso line), Maseratis
(Novitec Tridente), and Lamborghinis (Novitec Torado), and has now turned its
attention to Woking's finest.
That effort starts with the
entry-level Sports Series, which Novitec has tweaked to produce 646 hp – about
the same as the output from the 650S – thanks to enhanced engine mapping and an
Inconel exhaust.
Novitec is also offering a full
aero kit developed in a wind tunnel, along with upgraded rolling stock: the
vehicle pictured here is wearing staggered MC1 alloys measuring 20 inches at
the front and 21 at the back. The sum total is a junior supercar that can hit
62 from a standstill in 3.0 seconds flat and hustle all the way up to 208 miles
per hour.
