2020 McLaren 570S

This is McLaren's entry-level supercar, a two-seat coupe that shares its carbon-fiber architecture with far more expensive models. The steering is quick and full of feedback, and the brakes are strong enough to handle repeated hard stops on a track day. The cabin is snug and driver-focused, with supportive seats and a logical control layout that puts everything within easy reach. There's a small frunk and a shelf behind the seats, so you can fit a weekend bag or two, but not much more. Stepping up to the 570S from the base Sports Series gets you the same carbon-fiber core with more power and sharper tuning, so it's the pick if you want the extra performance without jumping to the 600LT. The 3.8L V8 makes 562 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic, and it's quick enough to embarrass cars costing twice as much.
