For owners seeking to unlock the ultimate potential of Woking’s engineering marvel, this aerospace-grade carbon fiber kit redefines the 720S through computational aerodynamics and motorsport-proven innovation. Precision-engineered at McLaren Special Operations (MSO) partner facilities, every component undergoes 900+ hours of development to merge concourse beauty with circuit-car aggression.
Material Science Revolution
Monolithic Carbon Construction: 7×7 twill dry carbon pre-preg (Toray T1100G) autoclave-cured at 125°C/90 PSI
Weight Optimization: 18.7kg total reduction – equivalent to removing 72 liters of fuel
Structural Enhancement: 320GPa tensile strength with 0.8mm panel thickness (±0.05mm tolerance)
Aerodynamic Evolution
Wind tunnel-validated at MIRA (UK):
Component | Performance Gain |
---|---|
Front Splitter | +28% downforce at 200km/h |
Vortex Generators | 19% reduced wheel-well turbulence |
Rear Diffuser | 22% lift reduction |
Active Rear Wing | 215kg downforce capacity |
The kit maintains McLaren’s 0.36Cd drag coefficient while increasing high-speed stability by 31%.
