2017 McLaren 570GT Volcano Yellow – Everyday Supercar Thrills

Introduction

Meet the McLaren 570GT – the most practical model ever launched by McLaren Automotive, a supercar designed not just for blistering laps but also for longer journeys and weekends away2luxury2.com. In the McLaren lineup, the 570GT carved its own niche as a grand tourer among exotics, blending McLaren’s race-bred performance with real-world usability. It shares its carbon-fiber DNA and dramatic dihedral doors with its more hardcore siblings, yet adds features like a panoramic glass roof and extra luggage space to make everyday driving a genuine pleasure2luxury2.com. This particular 2017 570GT, finished in head-turning Volcano Yellow Elite paint, stands out not only for its vibrant color but also for having covered just 15,000 miles with a full McLaren service history. With an extensive list of carbon-fiber options and meticulous care (including full paint protection film), it’s a stunning example that doubles as both a sales showcase and an enthusiast buyer’s guide on why the 570GT is such a special find.

Short of the flagship hypercars, the 570GT holds a unique place in McLaren’s Sports Series as the “gentleman’s” supercar. It offers breathtaking performance with no sacrifice to daily drivability, meaning you can enjoy 0–62mph in 3.4 seconds and a 204mph top end on the track, then comfortably cruise home achieving about 26.6 mpg on the combined cycle2luxury2.com. In day-to-day use, that translates to a supercar that doesn’t punish you for driving it – softer suspension tuning, a quieter cabin, and thoughtful convenience touches make it as happy on a commute or road trip as it is on a mountain pass. Let’s dive into what makes the 570GT in Volcano Yellow such a compelling choice for the enthusiast who wants it all: performance, luxury, and everyday usability.

Performance & Engine Feel

At the heart of the 570GT lies McLaren’s tried-and-true 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 (code-named M838T) delivering 562 BHP and 600 Nm of torque to the rear wheels2luxury2.com. Paired with a 7-speed Seamless-Shift dual-clutch gearbox, this mid-mounted powerhouse offers supercar acceleration – 0–62mph comes in just 3.4 seconds, and it doesn’t stop pulling until 204 mph2luxury2.com. Despite being twin-turbocharged, the engine’s character will thrill purists: you’d barely know it’s turbocharged; power starts building low in the rev range and just keeps surging all the way to the 8,500-rpm redlinethedrive.com. The result is an utterly explosive yet linear power delivery that makes every on-ramp or overtake an occasion. There’s a satisfying kick in the back when the turbos spool, yet the throttle response remains sharp enough that the car feels naturally aspirated in its eagerness.

What truly sets the 570GT’s driving experience apart is its fine-tuned balance between performance and comfort. McLaren softened the suspension compared to the track-focused 570S – about 15% softer spring rate in front and 10% in the rear – to give the GT a more compliant ridemotortrend.com. The hydraulic steering is also slightly slowed (about 2% reduction in ratio) to be less nervous on highwaysmotortrend.com, making the car more relaxing to cruise in without diluting its feedback in spirited driving. You still get McLaren’s lightning-quick reflexes and kart-like agility, but with a touch more grace over bumps. In fact, the 570GT’s adaptive dampers in “Normal” mode deliver ride quality that is an everyday delight – on par with a magnetic-suspension Corvette or Porsche 911 in comfortthedrive.com. Switch the handling and powertrain into Sport or Track, however, and the GT awakens into a proper supercar: the exhaust note hardens (though slightly quieter than a 570S’s bark), the gearbox snaps off shifts, and the whole car tightens around you. Rear-wheel drive and a low center of gravity give it a classic sports car feel – there’s an adjustable, playful balance if you provoke it, yet tons of grip from the bespoke Pirelli P Zero tires. In short, the 570GT still delivers the thrills of a McLaren, just with a softer edge. It’s a car you can enjoy carving up backroads on Sunday, without dreading the ride home on Monday.

Interior & Comfort

Slide into the 570GT’s cabin, and you’ll discover a side of McLaren that’s all about luxury and comfort. Unlike stripped-out supercars, the 570GT pampers its occupants with a leather-lined, ergonomically optimized cockpit2luxury2.com2luxury2.com. This example features Black leather upholstery with contrast Yellow stitching, echoing the vibrant exterior. Almost every surface is swathed in soft hide or carbon fiber trim, as this car is equipped with the Carbon Fibre Interior Upgrade packagecarandclassic.com. The result is an ambiance that feels both high-tech and artisanal – carbon fiber accents on the steering wheel, center console and door panels remind you of the car’s exotic construction, while the supple leather and polished switchgear add a grand touring flair.

Crucially, the 570GT addresses the everyday annoyances often associated with supercars. The dihedral doors open wider and with a higher arc for easier entry/exit, aided by lower and narrower door sills than McLaren’s higher-tier models2luxury2.com. Once inside, you sink into generously padded, 8-way power adjustable sports seats that are heated and have memory settingsmotortrend.comcarandclassic.com – perfect for dialing in your ideal driving position or swapping drivers on a road trip. In this car, McLaren Special Operations (MSO) provided bespoke touches like MSO branded seat belts (in a matching yellow hue) for a personalized touch. Dual-zone climate control and extra sound insulation were added to the GT, so the cabin stays hushed and comfortable even at motorway speeds. And when you’re not in the mood to listen to the V8, an optional 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system immerses you in high-fidelity soundmotortrend.com. (The 570GT comes standard with 8 speakers – this upgraded B&W system was a pricey option and truly turns the cabin into a concert hall.) It’s telling that McLaren made the infotainment and navigation interface a touchscreen with minimal buttons, keeping the dash uncluttered and modern2luxury2.com. In practice, owners find the interior spacious and airy, thanks in part to the panoramic glass roof flooding the cabin with lightmotortrend.com. At night, an electrochromic sunshade can dim that glass roof if needed. Overall, the 570GT’s interior marries supercar style with GT car comfort – you’ll find heated electric seats, a heated steering wheel, premium sound, and even soft-close doors, making every drive (be it an adrenaline-fueled sprint or a cross-country cruise) a relaxed and special experiencetopgear.comcarandclassic.com.

Exterior Presence & Options

Draped in Volcano Yellow, an Elite-range paint, this 570GT makes an unapologetically bold statement. Volcano Yellow is a special multi-layer metallic paint that shimmers under sunlight – an expensive option when new, but one that turns heads everywhere. The 570GT’s design itself is equal parts exotic and elegant: it retains the dramatic McLaren family look with its teardrop-shaped cockpit and scissor doors, but features a sleeker, more refined roofline than the 570S for a grand touring silhouettemotortrend.com. The panoramic glass roof flows into a side-opening glass hatchback at the rear, which not only looks distinctive but also adds functionality (more on that in Practicality). Up front, the signature McLaren LED headlights and large air intakes announce that this is a serious performance machine, while at the rear the flying buttress pillars and extended tail give the GT its own unique identity.

This particular car is loaded with exterior carbon-fiber options that amplify its presence. It sports the Carbon Fibre Exterior Pack touches like carbon fiber mirror caps and air intakes, which glint against the yellow bodywork. The combination of bright paint and exposed carbon is pure supercar theatre. Rolling stock comes in the form of the GT’s characteristic 5-twin-spoke alloy wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rearcarandclassic.com. Unlike the forged ultra-lightweight wheels on the 570S, the GT’s wheels prioritize a comfortable ride and a classic look, and behind them on this car you’ll notice painted brake calipers in a matching yellow finish (an MSO special touch, complementing the body color). Those calipers clamp down on steel brakes which McLaren chose for the GT to give more progressive pedal feel in normal driving (ceramic brakes were optional for track enthusiasts). Another premium feature equipped here is the vehicle nose lift system, allowing the front end to be raised at the push of a button – essential for navigating speed bumps or steep driveways without scraping the nosecarandclassic.com. And as evidence of this car’s pampered life, the entire front end (and more) is protected with Paint Protection Film (PPF)carandclassic.com. The PPF is a transparent protective wrap that keeps that Volcano Yellow paint free of stone chips or scratches, ensuring the car looks as fresh as it did when it left the factory. Other niceties include soft-close doors (gently pull the dihedral door almost shut and the car will cinch it closed the rest of the way – no slamming needed) and the GT’s unique side-hinged rear glass (opens from the side for easy access to the rear cargo deck). In sum, the exterior of the 570GT blends outrageous supercar flair – dihedral doors, carbon accents, aerodynamic curves – with just enough subtlety in its shape and added practicality in its details. It’s a car that draws a crowd in the parking lot, but also one you’ll appreciate every day for the thoughtful touches like that nose lift and hatchback.

How It Compares to Rivals

In the rarefied world of high-performance sports cars, how does the 570GT stack up against some popular alternatives? Let’s briefly compare it to a few key rivals:

• Audi R8 V10: The Audi R8 has long been dubbed an “everyday supercar” with its Quattro all-wheel-drive stability and a sonorous naturally aspirated V10. It offers similar straight-line performance (especially the Plus model) and even a bit more practical comfort than hardcore McLarens. However, the 570GT feels more exotic and special than the R8. For one, it has those show-stopping dihedral doors (the R8, as Top Gear quips, “has normal doors”topgear.com) and a carbon-fiber chassis derived from racing. The McLaren is also lighter, giving it a more agile handling feel versus the R8’s slightly heavier, nose-heavy dynamics. Where the R8 shines is ease of use – its Audi build means a slicker infotainment and a plush interior – but the 570GT isn’t far off, with a surprisingly comfortable ride and a minimalist yet upscale cabin. If the R8 is a high-performance sports coupe that you could blend in driving daily, the 570GT is a true supercar experience that you can daily – more exclusive in badge and design. Both are brilliant, but the McLaren will appeal to those who want something a bit less common than an Audi and don’t mind trading all-wheel traction for a purer rear-drive thrills.
• Porsche 911 Carrera S: The Porsche 911 is often the benchmark for usable high-performance cars. A 911 Carrera S (991.2 generation in 2017) would be down on power (420–450hp) compared to the McLaren and has a very different layout (rear-engine 2+2 vs mid-engine 2-seater). The 911’s advantages are day-to-day practicality – it has two small rear seats for occasional passengers or extra luggage, easier entry/exit, and a more extensive dealer network. It’s also a bit more subtle in appearance. However, even Porsche’s own 911 Turbo models struggle to match the special feeling the 570GT deliverstopgear.com. The McLaren’s carbon tub construction gives it a stiffness and precision in handling that a 911 (with its steel chassis) can’t quite duplicate. The 570GT simply feels like a more exotic machine – lower, more dramatic, and with a truly supercar-like presence. On a twisty road, the McLaren’s lighter weight and mid-engine balance make it feel more akin to a race-car for the road, whereas the Carrera S remains a very fast sportscar with more civil manners. Interestingly, in terms of comfort, the 570GT in Normal mode rides as smoothly as a 911thedrive.com, a huge credit to McLaren’s suspension tuning. For an enthusiast buyer, the decision might come down to philosophy: the 911 is the all-rounder that’s easier to live with and still quick, while the 570GT is the occasion – a car that makes every drive memorable with its rarity and theatre, yet can still do the daily grind nearly as well. It’s worth noting the 570GT’s frunk and rear deck space give it more luggage room than you might expect – about 12.4 cubic feet totalautoevolution.com, almost on par with a 911’s combined front and rear storage, so McLaren really did target the Porsche in practicality.
• Aston Martin Vantage: Aston’s Vantage (the new generation launched around 2018) is a front-engine, V8-powered GT/sports car that, like the McLaren, seats two. The Aston Martin brings a dose of old-school charm: a burly AMG-sourced 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (~510hp in the Vantage) with a soundtrack to match, a gorgeous silhouette, and a cabin swathed in leather and Alcantara. In spirit, the Vantage is a closer match to the 570GT’s mission of being an everyday-capable exotic. However, the McLaren still edges ahead in outright performance and track-bred technology. The 570GT will out-accelerate a Vantage and feels more agile thanks to its lighter weight and mid-ship engine placement. The Aston, on the other hand, has a slightly more compliant suspension setup by default (especially in Comfort mode) and arguably a more luxurious interior feel – though the 570GT’s is very close, the Vantage offers a bit more padding and traditional British craftsmanship vibe. Where the McLaren clearly dominates is the sense of occasion: even among exotic cars, a Volcano Yellow McLaren with dihedral doors and carbon bits is a spectacle. The Aston Martin, while beautiful, flies more under the radar. The Vantage might be preferred by someone who wants a gentler GT experience with a big V8 up front, but for a buyer considering a 570GT, the appeal is likely the sharper, mid-engined supercar dynamics that McLaren delivers. Both cars offer a 12-month warranty from new and high-end service support, but maintenance costs for the McLaren can be a bit higher (balanced by the reassurance of its proven drivetrain and McLaren’s motorsport know-how). In summary, the 570GT is the pick if you prioritize cutting-edge performance engineering and a truly exotic feel, whereas the Vantage is a great option if you lean more toward classic GT elegance with a modern twist.

Ownership Practicality

One might assume that owning a McLaren is an exercise in compromise – not so with the 570GT. McLaren deliberately engineered this model to be livable day-to-day, and it shows in several areas. First, there’s the matter of storage: the term “GT” is earned by the 570GT’s unique cargo solutions. Up front, you have a frunk (front trunk) that provides a useful space for a carry-on bag or two. Meanwhile, under that side-opening rear glass is the “Touring Deck” – a leather-lined luggage shelf behind the seats offering 7.8 cubic feet of space on its ownmotortrend.com. Combined, the 570GT boasts about 12.4 cubic feet of cargo capacityautoevolution.com, which means weekend bags or even a golf bag (at an angle) can come along for the ride. The Touring Deck even has runners and a cargo net to secure items, and a handy padded luggage barrier to prevent items from sliding forward under brakingmotortrend.com. In practice, owners have found you can fit groceries, duffel bags, or a couple of suitcases without issue – making the 570GT as practical as many small sports coupes. And rest assured, McLaren thoughtfully made the rear hatch hinge on the side toward the curb (depending on left or right-hand drive market) so you load and unload from the sidewalk safelytechcrunch.com.

Driving the 570GT around town is also far less daunting than one might expect of a supercar. Ground clearance is always a concern with low-slung exotics, but this car is equipped with a nose lift system – at the touch of a button, you can raise the front suspension to tackle speed bumps and steep rampstechcrunch.com. No more scraping the carbon fiber splitter on that pesky parking lot entrance. Visibility is relatively good for a mid-engine car; the side mirrors are large, and that panoramic roof plus thin A-pillars give a decent outward view. The car’s footprint is similar to a regular sports car (it’s shorter and narrower than, say, a Lamborghini), so with the front/rear parking sensors and backup camera, maneuvering isn’t stressful. In traffic and normal mode, the McLaren is docile – the gearbox will smoothly shift automtatically, the exhaust note is toned down, and the start-stop system can even save fuel at lights. It’s civilized. On longer trips, you’ll appreciate the softer suspension tuning of the GT, which soaks up highway expansion joints nicely and doesn’t wander or tramline. Road noise is also reduced thanks to special foam-filled Pirelli tires that cut noise by up to 3 dBthedrive.com. All told, McLaren really made sure the 570GT can function as a daily driver if asked – something that couldn’t be said of their earlier models. In fact, many owners report racking up serious mileage in their Sports Series McLarens without trouble, as the cars encourage you to drive them rather than garage-queen them.

When it comes to running costs and maintenance, the 570GT holds some advantages over its more extreme brethren. The Sports Series cars use a more traditional suspension (coil springs with adaptive dampers) rather than the complex hydraulic system in McLaren’s Super Series, meaning less costly upkeep and fewer potential issues. Enthusiast forums note that the 570S/GT are considered among the most reliable McLarens, precisely because they avoid the additional complexity of active aero and hydraulic suspensionr8talk.com. This 2017 example comes with a brand-new lithium-ion battery installed – a welcome upgrade, as it improves reliability (McLarens, like many supercars, can drain batteries if left sitting; the lithium battery holds charge better and saves weight). The car’s full McLaren main dealer service history indicates it’s been maintained on schedule (typically annual servicing) with no expense spared. The next owner can have peace of mind knowing the car’s history is transparent and by-the-book. Additionally, as part of the sale, it’s supplied with a 12-month warranty, meaning you’re covered for major components for a year – similar to McLaren’s own Certified Pre-Owned warrantypistonheads.com. This is a significant benefit, as it mitigates the risk of unforeseen repair costs (though so far the car’s record has been clean). Regular running costs like oil changes, fluids, and routine checks are on par with other high-end sports cars, and with the warranty in place for a year, you can enjoy the drive with confidence. Tyre life and brake life will of course depend on use, but driven responsibly, owners report good longevity from the Pirelli P Zeros and the steel brakes (which are cheaper to replace than carbon discs). Fuel economy, as mentioned, can be surprisingly reasonable – mid-20s mpg on motorway cruises2luxury2.com – though expect single digits if you explore the upper rev range frequently. Insurance premiums are as expected for a car of this caliber, but nothing out of the ordinary compared to a 911 Turbo or Audi R8. In summary, owning this 570GT shouldn’t be a nerve-racking experience; on the contrary, it’s engineered to be an approachable exotic. With the included warranty, fresh battery, and spotless service pedigree, it’s all set for its next owner to enjoy hassle-free supercar ownership.

FAQs Buyers Ask

Q: Is the 570GT ULEZ compliant (London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone)?

A: Yes – despite its high performance, the 2017 McLaren 570GT meets Euro 6 emissions standards and is fully ULEZ-compliantcarandclassic.com. You won’t pay any daily ULEZ charges in cities like London. In fact, McLaren’s modern engine tech keeps emissions in check (official CO₂ around 249 g/km), which is impressive for a 200+mph supercar. So feel free to cruise into central London in your 570GT without worry – it’s as “green” as any 2017 petrol sports car can be.

Q: Can I daily drive a McLaren 570GT?

A: It might surprise you, but yes, many owners do use the 570GT regularly. McLaren designed the GT to be their everyday supercar – it has a smoother ride, more storage, and friendlier manners than the track-focused modelsautoevolution.com. Commuting or running errands is entirely feasible. You’ll just need to be mindful of its low ride height (using the nose lift for speed bumps) and the two-seat limitation. The car even has practical touches like cupholders (albeit hidden low in the console) and decent air conditioning. It’s not as effortless as a normal sedan, of course – ingress requires a bit of a “supercar shuffle” (though those dihedral doors actually make it easier in tight parking spots, since they swing up) and you’ll attract attention everywhere. But if you enjoy the idea of turning every school run or office drive into an event, the 570GT will gladly oblige. Owners have cheekily noted that picking up a child from school in a McLaren is “certifiably awesome” – just as long as their backpack isn’t too big for the frunktechcrunch.com! So in summary, daily driving is doable and even enjoyable, provided you embrace the supercar quirks. Just keep the car on a battery tender if you don’t drive it for extended periods, as with any high-performance car.

Q: What’s the ride like vs. the 570S?

A: Noticeably softer and more forgiving. The 570GT was given a gentler suspension tune: roughly 15% softer springs in front, 10% in back compared to the 570Smotortrend.com. In practice, that means the GT absorbs bumps better – you won’t feel minor road imperfections as harshly, and the car is less reactive to rough pavement. The steering in the GT is also slightly relaxed (just a touch slower ratio), which makes highway cruising more stable and less dartymotortrend.com. Another difference is the noise level and exhaust – the 570GT has extra sound insulation and a quieter exhaust system, so it’s more subdued until you really floor itautoevolution.com. Don’t get us wrong: the 570S and 570GT are very similar in DNA, so the GT still handles like a proper sports car, just with a layer of compliance. Think of the 570S as the taut sports suspension and the 570GT as the adaptive comfort setting – the GT is tuned for the road, not the track. If you’ve experienced a 570S on a bumpy backroad and found it a bit too stiff, you’ll find the 570GT more composed. Yet when pushed, the GT still corners flat and tight – the differences are there, but McLaren ensured the sporting character remained intactmotortrend.com. Many reviewers actually preferred the GT’s setup for real-world driving, noting that you can enjoy the car’s limits more often without being unsettled by imperfect roads. So in summary: the 570GT gives up a hint of the 570S’s razor-edge sharpness in exchange for a ride that won’t punish you on daily drives. It’s the better choice if you value comfort as much as lap times.

The 2017 McLaren 570GT in Volcano Yellow is the connoisseur’s choice for an everyday supercar. It’s a car that thrills you with McLaren’s Formula 1-derived engineering and explosive performance, yet cossets you with GT levels of comfort and convenience. This particular example, with its low mileage, full McLaren service pedigree, and tasteful spec (carbon fiber touches and that rare paint), represents a unique opportunity to own a “no-compromises” supercar. Whether you’re upgrading from a sports car or adding to a collection, the 570GT offers a driving experience that’s both exhilarating and accessible – a combination that’s hard to find even in this class.
