The McLaren 570S is the Woking carmaker"s entry-level supercar. At 143,250, it"s about 60k cheaper than the 650S but also punishingly powerful and horrendously fast.Want some numbers? Try this on: 570bhp, 204mph, 0-62 in 3.2 seconds and 0-125 in 9.5. It"s 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. Talk about progress.But it also has some stiff competition, most notably in the shape of Porsche"s dominant 911 Turbo S and Audi"s brand new V10 R8.The 911 Turbo is the original everyday supercar. It"s the template others copy and arguably the reason Audi built the original R8 and why we now have a McLaren 570S.Audi"s new R8, as expected, is a meticulous, thorough, well thought-out evolution of the original car. It"s still four-wheel-drive, it"s still mid-engined, and it still packs a helluva punch, but everything has gotten lighter, stiffer and faster.
