Here at indiGO Auto Group, we are thrilled to announce that McLaren’s latest accomplishment has been recognized by Motor Trend magazine. Motor Trend magazine is the largest car magazine in the world and circulates over 1 million copies. After working diligently year after year, the McLaren brand has won this year’s Best Drivers Car award and competition. The coveted award is not an easy task as contestants come from all over the globe. This is the first time since 2011 that a brand in an elite market segment has been given the title of holding this award. The competition consisted of four countries and twelve sports cars, all being put through acceleration, braking, and handling tests in Fontana, California. The contenders raced on a 4.2-mile stretch of asphalt known as Highway 198. The effective successor of the 12C, the McLaren 570S is less powerful but lighter and quicker in every regard. It’s one-tenth quicker to 60 mph and through the quarter mile, carrying an extra 1.3 mph in the latter. It stacks an extra 0.02 lateral G in steady-state cornering and knocks three-tenths of a second off the figure-eight time. Braking distance drops by 7 feet. The 2016 McLaren 570S took the title of first place in Motor Trend’s testing and made history. indiGO Auto Group is extremely proud to carry such a successful and victorious brand such as McLaren.
