(car starting) We're here with the McLaren 570S. Check out these five cool things you probably didn't know about this car. First of all, the doors.
Now, McLaren calls these dihedral doors because of the way they open, and that is definitely very cool. Check out the different surfaces going on here. There's even a plane that kind of elevates itself off the immediate surface of the door up top here. Very, very cool to look at. Especially up close. The cabin has some cool tricks up its sleeve too. The next cool thing in this center touchscreen, there's a climate control system with a silhouette of a person between the dual temperature zones, pretty normal, right? But in the McLaren 570s, the head of the person has a helmet on. The next school thing, believe it or not storage space. Now, just because you have a super car doesn't necessarily mean you have to give it up. The McLaren 570s, no glove compartment here, but there is a lot of open space along the center tunnel here. And there's little compartments that actually opened up to a fairly deep area in each door itself. Under the hood too, another storage area. And that's pretty deep cause you don't need an engine there. The engine's behind you. The fourth thing, what McLaren calls flying buttresses, essentially these C-pillars here that kind of come off the roof itself. And besides looking very cool because they have a 3d effect of wrapping air around. It actually directs airflow, according to McLaren, to this engine, the 3.8 liter twin turbo V8. Now that engine uses these tailpipes, which brings us to our fifth cool thing, this wicked exhaust note. Give it a listen. (engine revs up) (trunk closes)
