SHAPE FORMING
No need to make two models for RHD/LHD markets
INTERIOR
Inside the teardrop-shaped cockpit a variety of options are available, including choices of interwoven carbon titanium deposition materials with digital embossing, and aniline (a Scandanavian leather dyed with soluble dyes to retain the natural surface) and lightweight leathers for the soft parts. Quilting is off ered to create unique patterns. The double-skinned power-operated
doors feature what McLaren calls “single-piece ‘wrapover’ lightweight glazing,” while instead of sun visors, electrochromic glass darkens the top of the windscreen at the touch of a button. The same technology is incorporated into the panels above the driver. In place of the rear-view mirrors
two screens display the rear view on opposite sides of the instrument panel alongside high-defi nition displays and touchscreens. Many of the vehicle controls including the ignition are in a milled aluminium panel above the driver’s head. The central driver’s seat is a one-off ,
also made of carbon fi bre, lined with a directional leather fi nish that makes it easier to slide in and out but holds the driver in place under fast cornering. Where stitching is concerned,
there are also many options available, including decorative shapes.
Owners are being off ered luggage with the metal, leather and carbon fi bre parts matched to
the individual vehicle
specifi cation. Stowage areas are in the tail and nose, with a small storage space under the seat.
Each interior will be unique
