The McLaren 570S Sprint will make
both static and dynamic global debuts at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed
as part of the largest presence by McLaren to date.
The 570S Sprint is the most track-focused model in
the McLaren Sports Series line-up. It has been conceived purely for owners to
enjoy on the track and without the restrictions of any race series. Power and
torque levels have been optimised to ensure the ultimate levels of driver
engagement and the best levels of noise, too, as visitors to Goodwood will soon
hear.
The 570S Sprint is built around the
carbon fibre MonoCell II chassis shared with all Sports Series models, and also
features the familiar mid-mounted 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 engine and seven
speed SSG transmission.
The 570S Sprint features enhanced cooling via a
front centre GT3-inspired high temp radiator, along with a more aggressive
front splitter and floor assembly as premiered on the 570S GT4. As standard,
the 570S Sprint is filled with New Life™ 0W-40 engine oil, developed by McLaren
Automotive technology partner Mobil 1.
Inside the stripped out, driver-focused cabin, an
FIA-approved rollcage adds further protection to the lightweight carbon fibre
MonoCell II chassis. The FIA-approved flat back driver, and optional passenger,
seat are fitted with a six-point racing harness, and a fire extinguisher system
is also installed as standard.
While the 570S Sprint is not homologated for any
race series, a GT4 compliance pack is available as a further upgrade for the
570S Sprint. Having been developed in parallel to the 570S GT4 – currently
completing its final testing phase in the live race environment of the British
GT championship – the package includes all items required to meet the FIA
standards for GT4 competition.
Finished in McLaren Orange as standard, the 570S
Sprint can be optioned with any of the colour palette available on the Sports
Series, along with a unique range of liveries through MSO Defined. Deliveries
will commence in 2017 and pricing starts from £ 148,000 ex. works (local market
pricing applies).
