Founded in 1963 by Bruce McLaren, McLaren has grown from a racing team into a globally renowned supercar manufacturer. With a rich history that has McLaren being involved in many major races like Formula One, creating iconic cards from their success such as the McLaren F1 & Speedtail.
As part of the customer journey, owners of the McLaren Speedtail Hyper-GT each received a sculpture of the car’s evocative and luxurious interior. The ‘Speed Form’ also features a suggestion of the bodywork design that hints at this Ultimate Series McLaren, the most aerodynamic car ever from the marque and help it to achieve the highest top speed of any McLaren, at more than 243mph.
Touch of Ginger, working along-side designers and engineers at McLaren, created the ‘Speed Form’ which captured an early hint of the imaginative iconic interior, which is arranged in the same three-seat, central driving position layout as the McLaren F1 that inspired it. As befits a gift associated with such a rare car, these were individually numbered to the car.
This exquisite piece of art, which measures 400mm x 205mm x 80mm and weighs a substantial 3.6kg, is a product of ‘extreme craftsmanship’, created in the true spirit of leading-edge McLaren automotive design. Each piece is machined using the latest 5-axis CNC cutting technology but hand-assembled and finished, reliant on the interaction of human hands, eyes, and skills in the execution of excellence.
Each ‘Speed Form’ took more than 100 hours to create, with 30 hours of expert hand-polishing alone. A craftsman checked each sculpture to achieve an exceptional standard of build, and the highest quality possible.
The entire Speedtail allocation of 106 cars, the same volume as the number of McLaren F1’s sold, was spoken for within weeks of the hybrid car being announced.
