Let"s open with something startling: the McLaren 570S is as fast as the fabled McLaren F1. And this, let"s not forget, is the firm"s entry-level car. An entry-level car that hits 100mph in 6.3 seconds.Only it doesn"t. It"s faster. More on that later. Nevertheless, claiming F1-matching acceleration times is not a coincidence there"ll have been a parameter laid down when the car was conceived, a target to be met but as a statement of speed and intent, the numbers are revealing.McLaren calls the 570S its "luxury sports car". Does anyone else have similar issues getting their head around the concept of the words luxury" and 6.3 to the ton" appearing together? Maybe not. Maybe it"s luxury" and McLaren" that"s harder to equate?Photography: Mark FagelsonThis feature was originally published in the December 2015 issue of Top Gear magazine.
