Can a McLaren be improved? This aerodynamic kit makes it possible

MSO has developed a new aerodynamic kit that improves both the performance and aesthetics of the McLaren 720s.

A McLaren is one of the most complex and advanced pieces of engineering we can find, so it seems very difficult that these almost perfect cars can be improved. You should never settle, as you can always do something better. This is something that the Woking company has been doing throughout its history, so here we leave you the McLaren evolution from 1970 to the present.

Therefore, McLaren has unveiled the aero pack designed specifically for the McLaren 570S Coupé and Spider variants. This aerodynamic kit consists of a single element: a large carbon fiber spoiler that undoubtedly makes the British supercar even more aggressive.

Designed exclusively by McLaren Special Operations (MSO) for the smallest model of the English firm, this aerodynamic kit includes a huge spoiler that ensures that the car will maintain a perfect aerodynamic balance. However, it is not the first work of this style that this division has made to measure for the supercar, since it already presented a New aerodynamic line for the McLaren 720S Spider.

Carl Whipp, Managing Director, McLaren Automotive Aftersales, said: “We are constantly looking for opportunities to make the latest and greatest designs and technologies available not just to new car buyers, but also to customers who already own a McLaren. This new aerodynamic package is a perfect example of this, offering both a visual enhancement and significant dynamic benefits.”

It is also important the visual improvement that this enormous carbon fiber spoiler does in the McLaren 720 S and 720 S Spider. When we see one of these cars from the other side of the glass in the dealership, it doesn't occur to us to radicalise it even further. However, seeing the final result, this option becomes very attractive.

However, a spoiler designed by the heads of MSO cannot be a simple aesthetic element, as the improvement is clearly noticeable when installed. Built entirely from carbon fiber, Its shape has been designed to achieve perfect airflow.. It also further highlights the seductive contours of the McLaren's bodywork.

This aerodynamic pack offers 75 kilograms more aerodynamic load, which means that even better stability is achieved in curves thanks to the fact that the car will remain glued to the road, making its driving even more effective.

The spoiler is made of carbon fiber and aluminum

The carbon fiber plate that makes up this spoiler is fixed by two aluminum appendages with Palladium Grey inlays that are used to hide the wiring of the brake light integrated into the spoiler. On the other hand, the ends of this aerodynamic piece have been finished with two side plates with MSO logo chrome plated.

For the moment, the brand has communicated that This new accessory is only available in the UK.However, there's no doubt that if you own a McLaren 570S or are thinking of buying one and you like this kit, it won't be too long before it arrives direct from Woking.

The price of the new McLaren accessory is 7.950 pounds in the UK, or, what is the same, almost 9.000 euros. Once purchased, the installation is carried out by one of the brand's after-sales service centres and takes four hours to install, since you will also have to take into account the not-so-cheap labour force.
