Just a few days after McLaren unleashed
the ballistic 765LT, aftermarket specialist Prior Design has premiered its
eye-catching widebody kit for the 720S. At the front, Prior Design has created
a set of six-piece flared front wheel arches that transform the stance of the
British supercar and make it look even more striking. In addition, Prior Design
has manufactured sharp carbon fiber canards for the 720S as well as a
distinctive front splitter.
Spin around to the sides and you’ll notice
a set of new air vents positioned behind the front wheels as well as a set of
menacing new skirts. The widebody design continues at the rear with flared
arches. Completing the bodykit is a new diffuser, rear bumper, and a towering
rear wing that makes the adjustable wing of the 765LT look pedestrian.
To help fill out the flared arches, Prior
Design has fitted a set of black wheels measuring 20×9 at the front and 20×12
at the rear. The car can also be lowered with a set of new springs. Prior Design
intends on building just 10 examples of its 720S widebody kit and will not sell
the exterior parts individually.
No alterations have been made to the
supercar’s 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine meaning it continues to pump
out 710 hp and 770 Nm of torque. While that’s down on the 755 hp
offered up by the 765LT, many aftermarket tuning companies have been able to
easily fettle the 720S’s powertrain to beyond 800 hp with limited
modifications. This means anyone who orders the Prior Design kit will be able
to easily make their car not only more eye-catching than the 765LT but also
faster (in a straight line).
