High Life

品 104 #15 2017 年 12 月 As a racing team, McLaren was made famous by founder and motor racing icon Bruce McLaren in the 1950s and ‘60s and is one of F1’s most successful outfits of all time with 12 drivers championships and eight constructors championships to its name. However, since announcing plans three years ago to fully develop its production car business, the company has quickly confirmed its status as supercar royalty. For its part, the 570S occupies McLaren’s middle ground as a bridge between the pure supercar and more reasonable aspirations, yet visually it’s as striking as anything on the road today with a low profile and sweeping lines along the body adding to the car’s aerodynamic performance. The most recent addition to the family, the 570S Spider, brings a retractable hardtop roof into the mix which opens in just 15 seconds and dramatically enhances the sensory thrill as the engine nears the top end. Now that really is music to the ears.
