The recently-announced McLaren 570S Sprint will make both its static and dynamic global debuts at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed as part of the largest presence by McLaren to date. The track-only model will thrill crowds on the famous Hill run and be on public display in the Supercar Paddock alongside the McLaren P1 GTR, 650S Can-Am, 570S Coupe and the 675LT Coupe.
The 570S Sprint is the most track-focused model in the McLaren Sports Series lineup. 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, as visitors to Goodwood will soon hear. Below the skin, 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 temperature 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.
Based on the aerodynamic 'shrink-wrapped' design of the 570S Coupe, the 570S Sprint features an air piercing front bumper which separates the airflow above, below and through the bodywork, while the intricate design of the 'floating' door tendons channel air into the side-mounted radiators. The elegant flying buttresses are also retained. An additional aerodynamic upgrade which includes a large carbon fibre fixed rear wing and front dive planes, brings the highest level of downforce yet seen on any model in the Sports Series.
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.
