You might remember us saying that McLaren was bringing a bespoke 570S to Pebble Beach, right? Well, here’s how the little thing looks in the flesh.
Outstanding, isn’t it? With its original format, inspired by its bigger siblings but maintaining a genuine design, this little McLaren is one of the best looking cars to come out of Surrey.
Mind you, this joyful-looking McLaren has a somewhat sinister vibe to it. If there ever was such a thing as a cute, purple car classified as sinister, this would be it. And it’s not menacing as you’d expect it to be, but in a rather zany way. Just like the Joker from Batman, or just like the Chucky doll. It may look awfully-jolly, but it won’t hesitate to… you know, murder you.
It has the “goods” to do it – a twin-turbo, 650S-derived V8 making just the right amount of horses to get you into trouble. Just think about it, its 562 horsepower rating is one horse up compared to the 458 Italia and it weighs only 1313 Kilograms.
This mesmerizing 570S Coupe is finished in a unique Mauvine Blue paint complemented by the Carbon Black leather with trim details carried away from the exterior. Truth be told, apart from the color combination it doesn’t really differentiate from a normal model, but its paint-job manages to highlight different details making them very eye-pleasing. Just look at how the color beautifully contrasts the carbon fiber bits and pieces, especially at the back-end.
As the devil sits in the details, it’s interesting to see how minute changes in the rig’s design manage to improve the overall aspect – and I’m talking about the blackened-out exhausts right now.
