The McLaren 570GT is supposed to be the softest, most comfortable car in the company's range. It has a more luxurious interior than its 570S counterpart, along with more space, a softer suspension setup, and steel, rather than carbon-ceramic brakes standard. Of course, it's still a McLaren, as Top Gear presenter Chris Harris finds out in his latest video.

Harris got the chance to get behind the wheel of the 570GT recently to see if all that softening up took away from the driving experience on track. He finds that even with all that "downgrading" compared to the 570S, the GT is still extremely pleasurable to whip around at and beyond the limit.

Remember, the 570GT still has that 562-horsepower twin-turbo V8, as well as that fast-shifting seven-speed dual clutch. But Harris finds that even with the move to GT status, the car keeps its balance as well, and on the road, rides better than ever.

Watch for yourself to see what Harris thinks of McLaren's "luxury" offering.
