McLaren debuted in Formula 1 at the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix, and now, 50 years later, it pays tribute to its original racer with a special edition of the 570S.
Dubbed 570S M2B, it was built to commemorate the M2B F1 car created by its founder, Bruce McLaren, three years after he set the basis for the his race team, and it was unveiled at the 2016 Monaco GP.
Apart for the special paintwork, which combines pure white with a central green stripe and silver edging, the Sports Series machine remains stock in all chapters. Power continues to come from the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, as the rest of the McLaren’s modern lineup, which is capable of sending, in this case, 570 PS (562 HP) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) to the rear wheels. Zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 3.2 seconds and top speed is 328 km/h (204 mph).
Equipped with Brake Steer technology, carbon ceramic brakes and the carbon fiber MonoCell II, the McLaren 570S uses double-wishbone suspension on all four corners with adjustable dampers. At the touch of a button, three driving modes become available: Normal, Sport and Track, ranging from comfort in daily commute to an emphasis on pure driving characteristics.
