The McLaren 570S was the first car in McLaren’s Sports Series. McLaren no longer sells it new. As at 24 October 2026 McLaren lists it under Past Models, and McLaren Australia’s current supercar range is the Artura, Artura Spider, 750S, 750S Spider, 788HS and 788HS Spider. Any 570S you can buy in Australia is a used car.
This guide sets out what McLaren publishes about the 570S, who sells and services McLaren cars in Australia, and what to check before you buy.
What McLaren publishes about the 570S Coupe
| Item | McLaren’s figure |
|---|---|
| Engine | 3.8 litre twin-turbocharged V8, dry sump |
| Power | 570 PS (562 bhp) |
| Torque | 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) |
| Gearbox | 7-speed Seamless Shift Gearbox (SSG), dual-clutch |
| 0 to 100 km/h | 3.2 seconds |
| 0 to 200 km/h | 9.5 seconds |
| Top speed | 328 km/h |
| Dry weight | 1,313 kg |
| Kerb weight (DIN) | 1,452 kg |
| Body structure | Carbon fibre MonoCell II |
| Brakes | Carbon ceramic, 6-piston callipers at the front, 4-piston at the rear |
| Fuel tank | 72 litres |
| Official fuel use (EU WLTP) | 12.2 l/100 km, 276 g/km CO2 |
| Front luggage space | 150 litres |
These are the figures on McLaren’s 570S page, read on 24 October 2026. The gearbox is McLaren’s own dual-clutch automatic, not a manual. McLaren’s Past Models page also lists the 540C, 570GT and 570S Spider. Their figures differ from the Coupe figures above, so check the model you are looking at.
What it cost new
The launch price below comes from the Australian motoring press of the time, not from a McLaren price list. At a Sydney preview on 23 July 2015, GoAuto reported a $408,000 drive-away price for the 570S, with the 540C at $350,000 and showroom availability from early 2016. That is a drive-away figure from a 2015 report, so it cannot be compared with a later price before on-road costs.
McLaren no longer sells the car new, so there is no current new price. What you pay is a used-car price agreed with the seller.
Who sells and services McLaren cars in Australia
McLaren’s retailer finder lists five Australian retailers as at 24 October 2026. Each is listed for sales and service.
- Sydney: 75-85 O’Riordan Street, Alexandria NSW
- Melbourne: 388 Swan Street, Richmond VIC
- Gold Coast: 179 Nerang Street, Southport QLD

If you live outside those cities, ask the nearest retailer how servicing and warranty work would be handled before you commit.
Buying one: McLaren’s certified route
McLaren runs a Certified Pre-Owned programme, and its Australian page describes these steps and terms:
- An inspection by factory-trained technicians against a set inspection.
- A full diagnostic check using the McLaren Diagnostic System, which has a direct link to the factory.
- A check of the service and maintenance records.
- Genuine McLaren parts for any repair.
- Any service or maintenance due within three months of handover is completed first.
- A minimum of 12 months warranty, with an option to upgrade to 24 months. It covers parts and labour and non-competitive track use, and is described as transferable to a later owner.
Ask a McLaren retailer whether a particular 570S can be sold as certified.
What to check before you buy
- Service history. Ask for full records from the McLaren network or a specialist, with dates and kilometres. McLaren’s own certified checks include reading these records.
- A diagnostic read. McLaren uses a factory-linked system on certified cars, so ask a McLaren retailer what they can read on the car you are looking at.
- Recalls. Search the Product Safety Australia recall list and ask a retailer to check the VIN for open campaigns.
- Brakes. McLaren lists carbon ceramic brakes for the 570S. Ask about the condition of the discs and get a replacement quote in writing.
- Tyres. Ask for the brand, the age and the tread depth.
- Gearbox. Ask for any gearbox service or software work on the record.
- How it arrived. Ask whether it was delivered new through McLaren’s Australian network. If not, ask for the compliance plate and the import paperwork, and read our guide to importing a supercar.
- An independent inspection. Have the car inspected before you sign. Our guide to buying a used supercar covers the process.
Running costs: what is published
McLaren publishes official fuel use of 12.2 l/100 km on the EU WLTP test. At that figure, 10,000 km uses about 1,220 litres. Real use will differ with how the car is driven.
McLaren’s 570S page lists no Australian service, tyre or brake prices. Ask a McLaren retailer for written quotes for a routine service, a set of tyres and a set of brake discs, and get an insurance quote on an agreed-value policy before you buy.
