Sulla strada come in pista


Few cars are able to switch from the road to the racing circuit as easily as the 570S, but McLaren has gone a step further by introducing a lighter, even more agile version designed for customers who are more frequent visitors to the track.
Available to order now, the Track Pack deploys lightweight and aerodynamic technologies inspired by the 570S GT4 racing car. The rear wing has been raised by a further 12mm – increasing rear downforce, and providing even greater stability during high-speed cornering – and the overall weight has been reduced by 25kg vs the standard 570S, enhancing both its turn-in response and lateral agility. That weight reduction has been achieved by replacing the standard seats with carbon fibre racing buckets. The leather interior facings are swapped for hard-wearing Alcantara, and the final kilos are shed thanks to fitment of a set of super-lightweight alloy wheels.
Final visual touches are applied by McLaren Special Operations and include a Dark Palladium roof, and Stealth-finish sports exhaust. Mechanically, this new 570S uses the proven 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, with 570PS (562bhp), capable of reaching 0-124mph (0-200kph) in just 9.5 seconds and a 204mph (328kph) top speed.
However, unlike the standard car, the Track Pack model features the same advanced telemetry system as the McLaren P1™ hypercar. It provides real-time lap data, including detailed sector splits and driver comparisons, plus post-race logs to pore over in search of that final extra tenth as you hone your perfect lap time.
When combined, the changes transform the 570S into the most track-focused member of the Sports Series yet, but for customers less interested in ultimate circuit performance, the Track Pack is launched alongside the Design Editions.
A series of five bespoke models, with a range of evocative colour and trim combinations handpicked by the McLaren design team, the Design Editions showcase the expressive styling of the 570S at its best. Every element, from the wheels to the exhausts, paintwork, alloys and cabin trim, is chosen to complement one another.
For example, the Design Edition 1 is finished in Vermillion Red, with five-spoke diamond-cut alloys, red brake calipers, and an interior trimmed in Jet Black and Apex Red Nappa leather. The other design editions appear in Onyx Black, Storm Grey, Ventura Orange and Silica White, but customers can still choose their own unique trim options and carbon fibre panels from MSO to complete their order.
Both the Track Pack and Design Editions are reserved exclusively for the 570S Coupé, with deliveries due early in 2017.

The use of CFRP can significantly reduce CO2 emissions in transportation, including airplanes and automobiles. However, a lot of CO2s is released during the production of CFRP, and most used and waste materials end up in landfills. With the growing market of CFRP, there is a strong demand for the development of recycling technologies. Toyota Industries have developed technology that aligns recycled carbon fibers from used CFRP into a uniform, consistent yarn, adapting its well-established cotton spinning methods to carbon fiber….
