Good bones

The 570S Spider’s steel antiroll bars and conventional multi-mode dampers might not have the techy wowfactor of the hydraulically linked undercarriage of upper-echelon Mclarens, but it still manages to be supremely supple on gnarly pavement, despite rolling stock measuring 19-inches at the front and 20-inches at the back. Credit its superstiff carbon architecture which, astonishingly, didn’t require any additional reinforcement in the transition to Spider form.
