If you live in the U.S. and are looking to buy a
McLaren 720S Coupe or a Spider anytime soon, you can now get it along with the
MSO Defined carbon fiber active rear spoiler as a post-production optional
extra. The spoiler, which costs US$ 9,717.07 (previously available as a factory
option only), features a two year warranty and can be matched to other existing
visual carbon fiber exterior elements, like those from the Exterior Carbon
Fiber Packs.
The previously-mentioned carbon packs can dress up
your hood air intakes, rear fender air intakes, door mirror casings, front
splitter, rear bumper, front air intake and even the roof – any of which should
work great visually alongside the carbon active rear spoiler.
As for how the wing works, it is hydraulically
operated and can also act as an airbrake. It features three main operational
positions: Driver downforce (70%-80% wing deployment), DRS (30% wing
deployment) and High Speed Braking (100% airbrake deployment in less than 0.5
seconds).
In the latter scenario, the wing can shift
aero-balance by 20% in order to improve high speed braking stability and
overall braking distances.
