Minus a roof, windows, and windscreen, let Alex Hirschi, AKA Supercar Blondie, walk you through the minimalist design of the McLaren Elva.
Bespoke details include a key that’s color-matched to the supercar’s finish and a dedicated helmet compartment integrated into the body to optimize your open-air driving experience.
An instrument binnacle connected to the steering column that moves with it allows for a sense of total engagement with driving mode controls ‘at your fingertips,’ according to McLaren.
However, the real magic happens when you press the active air management system ‘magic button’ that deploys a wind deflector to direct airflow over the cockpit. You can almost feel the wind in your hair already.
