McLaren's latest supercar, to be shown at next week's Geneva Motor Show, is the 570GT.

It's the third model in McLaren’s “Sports Series,” the moniker for the brand’s more affordable cars that aren’t quite as ludicrous as its most powerful products.

The new 570GT is the third model in McLaren’s “Sports Series,” its line of more affordable models that aren’t quite as ludicrous as those at the upper end of the range. The 570GT may not match the raw numbers of the 650S, but the specs are nothing to laugh at. The car sends 562 horsepower to the rear wheels, along with 433 pound-feet of torque. Combine that with a total weight of under 3,000 pounds (thanks largely to a carbon fiber core that weighs just 165 pounds), and you can run from 0 to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and top out at 204 mph.

This car's not all about track times—it's supposed to be "road biased."

Features include a standard eight-speaker audio system, a refined electro-hydraulic steering system that makes it easier to keep the car in control at high speeds, and a panoramic glass roof to bring lots of light into the car.

The 570GT offers 12.4 cubic feet of storage space—almost big enough for a carry-on bag.
