The McLaren 570S Has Finally Gone Convertible
McLaren has confirmed the long-awaited 570S Spider at the Shanghai motor show. The open-top 570S will finally join the range later this year, two years after the 570S coupe was originally launched.
At present we have no official pictures, but this render from X-Tomi Design has got to be close to the mark.
According to the only information we have so far, it’s set to continue with the same 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 as the coupe, with no tweaks of note. With a slight weight increase mirroring that of previous McLaren Spiders, we can expect the drop-top 570S to be almost as fast as the 205mph coupe.
Kerb weight is expected to be something like 1350kg, with 0-62mph batted aside in around 3.3 seconds. Typically, McLaren adds £20,000 or so for Spider models, so the 570S Spider is likely to cost a little over £160,000.
There won’t be a 540C Spider, though, according to an Autocar report. In the markets where the 540C is actually sold at all, the cost of the convertible body would put such a car too close to the price of a 570S, making it unviable. Ah well, we’ll have to make do.

Still not as pretty as the GT in my opinion…
Looks so 😍😍😍😍
How about we start a configurator challange
20 grand for a spyder. You can buy a normal 570s and a base MX5 for that price
But i’d rather been seen in a 570s spider with the roof down than in a MX-5 with the roof down.
What kind of logic is that?
That’s like saying “Why do people pay so much for an Audi RS6 Avant? They can buy a fast car and a Lada Kalina wagon for much less instead.”
If you can afford this I don’t think you even know what the term ‘base model’ means ;)

I second that
Still rather have a 570GT. I prefer the appearance, and the extra luggage space and softer springs is always nice.
agreed. Love the how the hatch opens.
