This is going to be another hit from McLaren. Good job. Should be a better car than the Turbo S.

Eye bleedingly ugly, makes an i8 seem coherent. But it's probably nice and fast.

Could not disagree more - car looks fast standing still. Aggressive, yet elegant at the same time.

Possibly one too many rear diffuser elements, but as they are likely to be all functional, I can easily overlook that.

Well done, McLaren.

Looks like a kit car trying to be a McLaren imo. Not a fan

Looks kinda ugly.

Almost like it is one of those Chinese knock-offs of the 650S.

It's grown on me through out the day. Wonder how Bowers and Wilkins got 12 speakers in there.

Maybe it will look better in real life, but me as a McLaren "fan", I'm really disappointed. I wanted to like this car, but this is simply so ugly, and not in the good way of BMW i8 or Lexus.

Really sad that so many sports cars coming despite current unfavourable times for sports cars, so many ugly things out there: Mercedes AMG GT, new Audi R8, Ferrari 488 GTB, Ferrari F12, Ferrari California T, Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, now this McLaren 570S.

Porsche looks good, but unexciting, Lamborghini looks great, but has the worst interior possible, BMW i8 is nice but simply not of the right calibre. So far only the new Honda NSX is really good in all ways, at least the first impression.

I hope Toyota/BMW will get it right with the Supra/Z4 and maybe Lexus with the LC, Maserati with the Alfieri, and maybe Nissan with the GT-R and 370Z successors.

This car looks much better than the 650s, especially from the front end. I may just have to consider this car in a few years.

I actually don't find the design offensive at all. It's a hell of a lot better than the MP4-12C was.

Would disagree with you on that regarding the P1.

I appreciate all the engineering but man these belong in Alien movies. It reminds of Dell's Alienware line. I just can't digest the design especially the front end. Side and rear are ok.

Only $180,000! Cheapest Mclaren ever!!

Quite a few dollars away from being considered to be a 911 fighter.

Perhaps. Train wreck of group design. The F1 was fantastic. All others are horrid. Maybe P1 with the door inset painted is almost okay, but the MC12 and 650 are just ugly, especially from behind.

Let's not even mention Alice the Goon, the sad McLaren SLR.

This new one looks like what would have happened if TVR still had money.

The only good looking McLaren was F1, followed by the also very nice MP4-12C. 675LT is not bad. All the rest, P1 and 570S is ugly.
