McLaren finally steps up its game with a new, revolutionary wrap
option for the 570GT. The new Feather Wrap is now finally available for
customers that want to celebrate the sheer genius of nature with their 570GT.
MSO, the company’s bespoke division, dedicates 300
hours for creating this exciting layer of aero perfection by hand, applying nearly
10,000 carbon-veined artificial feathers to the vehicle’s body.
Measuring seven centimeters long and covered with a
pearlescent lacquer, the feathers are applied to the car parallel to the
forward direction, thus cushioning the effects of the air flowing over the
bodywork.
The feathers act as grooves, reducing the surface
drag and as the 570GT increases its speed, they start to vibrate, further
reducing drag by delaying the transition from a laminar to turbulent boundary
of air.
McLaren enthusiasts who happen to want a 570GT will
get the rare chance to order the Feather Wrap on April 1, 2017.
