McLaren has completed its three tier model strategy with the global reveal of the first in its Sports Series family: the McLaren 570S Coupé.

The 570S accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, while 124 mph is reached in just 9.5 seconds with the pace not letting up till the car reaches a top speed of 204mph.
