New McLaren Super Series has double the aerodynamic efficiency
20 Jan 2017|1,778 views
The new McLaren Super Series, which will be unveiled on 7th March at the 87th Geneva International Motor Show, is twice as aerodynamically efficient as the McLaren 650S, with increased downforce and improved cooling among the engineering imperatives for the new generation.
The new dihedral door design of the second generation Super Series showcases McLaren's innovation and engineering expertise. Two separate air ducts are integrated within the door structure; one forces air from the top of the door down into the high-temperature radiators that cool the engine, while the other draws air out of the front wheel arch to create increased downforce. This further enhances the diffuser technology first seen in the McLaren P1.
An active wing that extends over the full rear width of the second generation McLaren Super Series moves upwards and increases in angle to optimise aerodynamic efficiency. It also deploys to its most extreme angle as an airbrake in less than half a second, optimising balance when braking from speed. Full details of the second generation Super Series will be confirmed in March, when further images and pricing will also be available.
