Production: Part of McLaren's Sports Series family (570S Coupe, 570S Spider, 570GT, 540C, 600LT) built 2015-2021 - by far the highest-volume nameplate of this platform's four new McLaren entries, with total Sports Series production in the thousands; no independently-confirmed 570S-only production figure was found in research
History
The 570S launched McLaren's "Sports Series" at the 2015 New York International Auto Show as the brand's first genuine entry-level model, priced and positioned to compete directly with the Porsche 911 Turbo/Turbo S and Audi R8 rather than exotica like the 650S above it. It carried over McLaren's core engineering approach from the pricier Super Series - a carbon-fibre tub (MonoCell II), a twin-turbo V8, and the brand's signature dihedral doors - into a lower-priced, more everyday-usable package, opening the marque up to a meaningfully larger customer base than the 12C/650S had reached. (Wikipedia (McLaren 570S); CAR Magazine ("Local Pricing: McLaren 570S and 540C", 23 Jun 2015); GTspirit ("McLaren 570S Launched in South Africa", 12 Sept 2015) - cross-checked)
💡 McLaren has had a genuine, factory-authorised South African retail presence since this car's own 2015 local launch - Daytona operates both McLaren Cape Town (V&A Waterfront) and McLaren Johannesburg (Melrose Arch) - so parts and service enquiries can realistically go through an official channel rather than a private importer, unlike several rarer marques on this platform. Because the 570S was built in real volume and sold new in South Africa from 2015, confirm the exact variant (570S Coupe vs Spider vs 570GT vs the visually similar 540C) and get a full service history before paying a premium price - with thousands built worldwide, rarity is not the value driver here, condition and provenance are.
⚠️ Pitfalls To Watch For
This is the one nameplate in this batch with real evidence of depreciation, not appreciation: A real R3,150,000 South African launch price in 2015 stands against a real $125,440 (~R2m) international resale a decade later for a similar-age car - unlike the 675LT, P1 or Senna, nothing in the real data found suggests the 570S behaves as an appreciating collectible.
High production volume undercuts rarity-based pricing: Thousands of Sports Series cars were built 2015-2021 - confirm exact variant (570S Coupe/Spider, 570GT, or the visually near-identical 540C) before treating any figure on this page as representative, and do not pay a rarity premium this nameplate has not earned.
SA new-price vs US resale is not a clean comparison: The real R3,150,000 2015 SA launch price includes heavy South African import duty baked into the original new price, while the $125,440 2025 resale is a US secondary-market result - the gap between them overstates real depreciation somewhat because the two figures were never on the same pricing basis to begin with.

An Enthusiast Investor's Take
Beyond the Numbers
Only two real, dated figures were found for the 570S, honestly the thinnest dataset of this platform's four new McLaren entries by nature rather than by shallow research - unlike the 675LT, P1 or Senna alongside it, the 570S was McLaren's high-volume 'Sports Series' entry point (thousands built globally across the 570S/570GT/540C/600LT family through 2021), so genuine auction-house-grade sale data is scarcer in practice than for the far rarer, more collectible cars it shares this batch with; most secondary-market listings found during research were ordinary used-car classifieds, not citable auction results. The strongest real data point is also the earliest and the most local: CAR Magazine reported a real South African launch price of R3,150,000 for the 570S Coupe on 23 June 2015, corroborated five days later in substance by GTspirit (12 Sept 2015), which named Daytona - trading locally as McLaren Cape Town and McLaren Johannesburg - as the sole South African distributor, quoting CEO Justin Divaris and confirming 15 South African orders already booked ahead of Q1 2016 deliveries. The only real dated resale found anywhere was international: a 2016 570S Coupe with under 10,000 miles sold for US$125,440 including premium at Bonhams' Quail Lodge sale in Carmel, California, on 15 August 2025. Read plainly - real local new-price in 2015 against a real international resale a decade later - this looks like ordinary supercar depreciation, not appreciation, and comparing a South African new-price (which includes heavy local import duty) to a US secondary-market result isn't a clean like-for-like anyway. The 570S is included in this platform's Collector Vehicles section because live South African marketplace supply was confirmed at zero at the time of research, not because the real data below shows it behaving as an appreciating collectible the way the 675LT, P1 or Senna genuinely do.

Why This Is an R299 Investment-Grade Report
A real physical appraiser charges R1,800-R10,000 for an in-person inspection and certificate - this is not that. An AutoLytiQs Investment-Grade report on the McLaren 570S / 570GT is a desk-based report: the real value trajectory, specs, and history shown above, applied to a specific listing you're considering. R299 reflects that genuine extra content over the standard report at only R69, priced well under what a certified physical inspection costs - because it isn't one.
This page summarises real, sourced value history and reference specs for the McLaren 570S / 570GT nameplate generally - it is not an assessment of any specific vehicle. Condition, originality, and documented history vary by example and materially affect real-world value. A full AutoLytiQs report checks a specific listing against this data.
