McLaren knows how to enjoy driving and took the 570S to the snow to slide sideways like never before

Many supercars become true relics on wheels, described by some as art, a status they earn through their exclusivity and certain features that make them unique. These traits lead many owners of these vehicles to keep them in the garage and drive them as few kilometres as possible, with the aim of keeping their value intact. However, McLaren departs from this approach and has shown with this video that its models exist to be used and, of course, to be enjoyed.

The engineers of the British firm concluded that, to bring out the potential of their supercars, the best solution was to head to the snow. On this terrain, McLaren was able to demonstrate the fun its models offer behind the wheel and, at the same time, the capabilities they have for moving with ease off the track. Specifically, it was the 570S that was tasked with reinforcing this reputation for the brand and its siblings, a great responsibility, but one that makes clear that even the entry-level McLaren model is undeniably exciting.

To do this, the firm held an event called the Pure McLaren Arctic Experience, where attendees were able to take the wheel of a 570S and, accompanied by an instructor, learned how to get the English supercar sideways. However, the course offered more than just fun, it also provided intense learning for the drivers of the McLaren.

Thanks to the varied conditions they encountered on the snow, the course participants learned how to successfully handle some situations and, at the same time, learned how to transfer that knowledge to asphalt, where tyres can also lose grip. This was also made possible by the use of winter tyres, with which the McLaren 570S moved through the mountains like a fish in water.

At the same time, attendees were able to enjoy the performance of the English supercar, which features the well-known 4.0-litre supercharged V8 capable of producing 570 CV in the most extreme version of the 570S and 600 Nm of engine torque. With these figures, the entry-level McLaren can reach 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 328 km/h, performance that places it at the top of its class.

Without a doubt, this experience was not only fun for the participants, but also practical. In this way, the lucky owners of these supercars will have greater control over them both on the track and on the road, where certain mishaps can also occur even though the 570S feels more at home on this terrain than in the snow.
