With the 2015 New York Auto Show just around the corner, the first unofficial details surrounding McLaren’s upcoming Sports Series surfaced on the Interwebz. We already knew that the new sports cars will be sold as an the entry-level "C" variant and a more powerful "S" model, but a new report from Autogespot.com tells us these cars will be named 540C and 570S. It might not sound like much since McLaren already confirmed it will continue to use numbers for its models, but the big news here is that these badges probably also reveal the output of the vehicles wearing them.
As we already know from the 650S and 675LT, the figure in the official name stands for the car’s PS output. That means the entry-level 540C should have 540 PS (532 horsepower), while the 570S will arrive with 570 PS (562 horsepower) on tap. The report goes on to say that the 570S will tip the scales at 1,313 kg (2,894 pounds) and hit 62 mph from a standing start in 3.2 seconds, while 0 to 124 mph will take 9.5 ticks. Top speed will be 203 mph, making the 570S faster than the most powerful Porsche 911.
Keep in mind that these names and figures have yet to be confirmed by McLaren, but we should find out more at NYIAS in April. Keep it locked here for more info.
