The Sports Series
model from McLaren offers more than enough performance. However, for those that
want a little more, 1016 Industries has the answer thanks to their new aerokit for
the car.
Rather than simply adding new turbochargers to the
car in order to make it a straight-line monster, the tuning company has instead
focused on improving the vehicle's cornering and stability by designing
components that not only look good, but also add downforce when the car is
driven at the edge of its performance.
The tuner allegedly received feedback from 570S
owners that the car can become slightly unstable when fully exploited, so it
set about improving downforce at the rear by installing a large fixed rear wing
inspired by the 570S GT4 and the P1 GTR hypercar. To ensure optimal
performance, the pitch of the wing an be adjusted.
A lot of time has also been spent on overhauling the
front of the sports car. Most significantly, there's a new bumper with
redesigned air intakes and a splitter engineered to stick the front wheels to
the road. Final changes include custom side skirts, louvers on the fenders and
a hood inspired by the P1.
The aerokit can be fitted to all models within
the hardtop Sports Series range, including the 540C and 570GT, and will soon be
complemented by a plug and play ECU and TCU controller.
