McLaren 570S Rental in Orange County
The Curacao Blue McLaren 570S with the black alcantara and orange interior is based in Orange County. It is the entry to the dihedral doors and the hydraulic steering, in a colour that reads from across a parking lot, so it is the car for the first supercar day, the proposal on Balboa Island, the content shoot that needs a McLaren the frame cannot miss. It serves Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Palm Springs and the Inland Empire.
How It Drives
The steering is the mechanism. McLaren kept hydraulic power assistance when everyone else went electric, and in the 570S it is heavy at parking speed and alive the moment you roll, so the first 10 minutes are the wheel telling you about the road. Sit on the sill and swing both legs in. The 3.8 liter twin-turbo V8 catches with a short bark and settles, and what you hear after that is the turbo whoosh on every lift, not exhaust. Below 3,500 rpm it winds up, then 562 hp runs hard to the far side of 8,000. The brakes are carbon ceramic and feel wooden until you lean on them. Sport mode, conventional anti-roll bars and a light simple chassis make it the playful McLaren. Take it up Laguna Canyon Road from the coast past the wilderness park.
How It Photographs
Curacao Blue is a light turquoise, and it is the loudest thing on this car. In direct sun it goes almost white on the roof and hood and holds its colour in the doors, so shoot it with the sun low. In open shade it turns to a deep aqua and the orange calipers inside the black wheels pop. After dark it goes teal under sodium light, so this is a daylight car. The frame to take is the front three-quarter, doors up, orange caliper in the corner. Shoot the orange seat stripe close. These photos were taken on a palm-lined rooftop deck. Put it against the white walls at Montage Laguna Beach.
Why This One
We run 2 570S coupes and this is the only one in Orange County, and the only 570S in a colour this bright. The black coupe is in Los Angeles at $995 a day. This car is $895 a day, $100 less, and it is the one people see. The green 570S Spider is parked next to it in Orange County at the same $895, so the question is roof or no roof. For the sealed cabin and a car that photographs as a coupe, this is the one.
What's On This One
This is the 570S coupe, the fixed-roof car with the 3.8 liter twin-turbo V8, 562 hp, a 7-speed dual-clutch, rear-wheel drive, a carbon fiber tub, carbon ceramic brakes and dihedral doors as standard. This car is Curacao Blue, a McLaren factory colour, over a black alcantara cabin with orange. Orange stripes run down the center of both seats, the door panels are orange leather, and orange stitching runs across the dash. It rides on black multi-spoke wheels with orange brake calipers. 2 seats and a frunk under the nose for 2 soft bags, with no roof to think about.
