2020 McLaren 570S

The 2020 McLaren 570S is the British automaker's entry-level model, if you can call anything with a powerful, mid-mounted twin-turbocharged V8 entry-level. Part of McLaren's Sport Series lineup, the 570S aims to combine an exotic, supercar design with everyday drivability and comfort.

Open one of the upward-swinging doors and you'll be greeted by a sleek, driver-focused cabin that's surprisingly comfortable and roomy. There's even a decent amount of storage considering the car's compact dimensions. Sure, the infotainment system is dated and some of the controls, such as those for the seat adjustments and climate settings, can be confounding. But grip the well-shaped steering wheel, nail the throttle and crack off shifts with the carbon-fiber shift paddles, and you'll forget all about those quibbles.

The 570S has few rivals that offer a similar combination of performance and comfort. Those include the Audi R8, Mercedes-Benz AMG GT and Porsche 911 Turbo. Each offers its own level of charm and mix of performance and comfort. Alternately, if you like the feel of the 570S but want something a bit more hardcore, consider McLaren's more track-focused 600LT.
