You're looking at the new McLaren 570S—a super car with a sports-car price tag that could disrupt the longtime dominance of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche.

McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt gave CNBC a sneak peek at the new car, which will be unveiled Wednesday at the New York Auto Show, and previously was dubbed the "black swan" project for secrecy.

The car, which boasts a 562 horsepower, 3.8 liter V-8 twin turbo, can do zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds. It has a top speed of more than 200 mph.
