The 650S, which before the 720S was McLaren’s
mainstay in the Super Series, used to have 650 PS and 678 Nm of torque, which is 80 PS and 78 Nm of torque more than the
newer 570S, which belongs in the Sports Series.
Novitec has managed to bridge the gap
between the defunct supercar and the Sports Series range by tuning a 570S
Spider to 646 PS and 692 Nm of torque.
The output was achieved by remapping the ECU and
swapping the stock exhaust for a new one, omplete with catalytic converters and
special tailpipes. The upgrade follows in the footsteps of the tuner’s modified
570S Coupe from over a year ago.
Unfortunately, there are no details surrounding its
0 to 100 km/h acceleration time, but the stock McLaren 570S Spider needs
only 3.2 seconds. Moreover, the tuned Coupe can do it in 3 seconds flat, and
maxes out at 335 km/h, so we reckon its open-top sibling is just as
fast.
Novitec hasn’t stopped here, as Woking’s entry-level
sports car has been equipped with 21-inch wheels on all four corners. A set of
sport springs is also available, and so are some subtle bits added to the
exterior, which are made from carbon fiber.
Next time we will see the names Novitec and McLaren
used in the same sentence, we will be writing about the 720S, as the supercar
appears on the tuner’s website with the ‘coming soon’ caption. With the 720S
being insanely fast, we can’t help but wonder what the tuner has in store for it.
