McLaren 720S with Prior Design Aerodynamic Kit

Many car owners and enthusiasts will say that supercars shouldn’t be modified. Some manufacturers like Ferrari forbid customers from modifying their cars in inappropriate ways, but there are always those who strive to make the cars better. One of them is the German tuner Prior Design, which prepared the PD720R Aerodynamic Kit for the McLaren 720S.

The Aerodynamic Kit, made of fiberglass, brings a new lip spoiler with intakes, fender vents, a new more aggressive front cover, wider sills, a new rear diffuser, a huge rear wing that fits perfectly following the natural curves of the car. All this makes the car more impressive.

Of course, the interior of the McLaren 720S has not been changed. Get behind the wheel of the 720S and feel like the car was made for you. That’s because everything about this stunning interior is focused on the driver. From the touch of the materials. To the ergonomic design of the driver interfaces. There’s supreme quality and comfort in every detail. Controls are carefully angled and positioned for easy reach with minimal distraction. It’s an interior created around you. Allowing full commitment to an exhilarating drive.

McLaren 720S is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 710 hp (530 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. The engine is positioned as low as possible between the front and rear axles – increasing the car’s handling prowess, and its luggage capacity. It reaches 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and 124 mph (200 km / h) in 7.8 seconds with a top speed of 212 mph (341 km / h). The engine is paired with a paddle-shifted seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
