The Mclaren 570S

Starting at $187,400, the 570S is the least expensive McLaren to date; with its main rivals being the Audi R8, 911 Turbo and long-awaited Acura NSX. McLaren set a new precedent with the 570S Sports Series, completing their three-tier model strategy with the P1 representing their Ultimate Series and 650S/657LT comprising the Super Series. 

The 570S is powered by a 3.8L twin-turbo, flat-plane-crank V8 with a dry-sump lubrication system that produces 562hp at 7,400rpm and 443lb-ft at 5,000rpm making it surprisingly happy at high revs. Traditional turbochargers operate at peak efficiency (called Boost Threshold) when the exhaust gas flow is adequate to provide additional boost for the engine and typically drops off as you approach redline; whereas naturally aspirated engines see a more steady power curve as they approach redline. Turbochargers run off energy that is typically lost in naturally-aspirated and supercharged engines (exhaust gases), allowing the engine to recover and distribute energy it would otherwise lose. That power runs through a 7-speed DCT that rivals Porsche's PDK but lacks a limited-slip diff. Unlike the Acura NSX that uses true torque vectoring through the two electric motors that run the front wheels the Mclaren 570S utilizes a sophisticated brake-steer system (torque vectoring by brakes) similar to that of the Ford Focus ST making the car very eager to get through corners. They do however suffer from heat build up making the system not as efficient as the Acura NSX's.

In the end it takes 370 technicians manning 72 workstations with nine quality checks in 11 days to produce one 570S Coupe. With the introduction of the Acura NSX, McLaren has a lot of competition in their class, which one would you prefer and why? 911 Turbo, Acura NSX or the McLaren 570S?
