In case you thought the rabid McLaren 570S wasn’t raw enough as is, McLaren is adding a racy Track Pack to the 562-hp supercoupe’s option sheet for 2017.

Priced at $23,660, the new Track Pack promises to cut the 570S’s weight by approximately 55 pounds thanks to a combination of lightweight wheels (in a dark finish), carbon-fiber seats, and microsuede replacing leather on the seats, the dashboard, and the steering wheel.

The Track Pack doesn’t just trim the 570S’s bits of fat, though. The package’s taller rear spoiler assists in adding 64 pounds of additional downforce to the car at 150 mph. Additional visual flair comes courtesy of a dark-finished roof and exhaust system. McLaren’s Track Telemetry system, which shows information such as lap times, driver comparisons, and vehicle speed through different track sectors, is also included.

Although we have no proof that the 570S’s showing at C/D’Lightning Lap 2016 had anything to do with McLaren’s decision to create a Track Pack for the 2017 570S, we’d like to think our 2:47.4 lap around Virginia International Raceway had McLaren engineers contemplating clever ways to shave a few milliseconds off that time. Maybe we’ll get to find out how effective the 570S’s available Track Pack is at Lightning Lap 2017.
