McLaren Automotive has announced the first details of its new optional Track Pack for the McLaren 570S supercar.
The Track Pack – inspired by McLaren’s racing heritage, including recent success in GT3 and GT4 categories, enhances driver engagement and downforce and drivers who frequent the track are sure to benefit.
Visually, with the Track Pack, the Mclaren 570S will be equipped with 12mm higher rear wing that increases downforce by an additional 29kg at 240 km/h (150mph). Other Track Pack visual clues include a McLaren Special Operations roof finish in Dark Palladium, and stealth-finish Sports exhaust.
The McLaren 570S with Track Pack tips the scales at 25 kg less than the coupé in standard form. This weight reduction is made possible by a lightweight interior package with Alcantara® replacing leather for the seats, dashboard and steering wheel covering, plus the introduction of carbon-fibre racing seats with circuit-proven lateral location. Further weight reductions include the Stealth-finish super-lightweight alloy wheels.
With the Track Pack the 570S is claimed to complete the acceleration run from 0 to 200 km/h run in 9.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 328 km/h (204mph).
The package includes the ultimate must-have of McLaren’s Track Telemetry system, as also used on the McLaren 675LT and McLaren P1. The system provides real-time information, such as lap times, sector splits and comparisons between drivers, as well as post-drive analysis and data-logging with graphical plots of vehicle speed and lap-time deltas. Quite interestingly, there will be no modification to the braking parts and the car will retain the existing standard carbon-ceramic discs.
Track Pack for the McLaren 570S is available to order now with deliveries beginning in early 2017. The option is priced at AED 75,000 approx. (£16,500).
