If you love McLaren cars, here are short films you must watch

MANILA: If you’ve always wanted to learn what kind of technology goes into every McLaren super car, here’s a set of short films released by the British automaker that is a  must-see.

Aside from being entertaining, something the whole world is in dire need of during this time of lockdown, the films also aim to educate and inform fans of the brand and even the lucky ones who actually own McLarens.

There are currently two films out already and they can be viewed on McLaren Automotive social media and YouTube channels, as well as cars.mclaren.com.

The first film’s title is pretty straightforward. It’s called “How does the McLaren Elva keep you comfortable at 70 mph without a windscreen?” It gives viewers a look at the revolutionary Active Air Management System (AAMS) of the new Elva, which is the latest McLaren Ultimate Series roadster and a car that is instantly recognizable because of the absence of a roof, windscreen or windows.

The new Elva has been designed to distill elements of driving pleasure into one incredible open-cockpit car. Fundamental to this is the world-first Active Air Management System, which creates a "bubble of calm" for both driver and passenger despite the car not having a windscreen.

McLaren Automotive director of engineering design Dan Parry-Williams takes viewers through the innovative solution to deliver a comfortable drive at 70mph (113kph) with no physical barrier to airflow in front of a driver or passenger, ensuring an incredibly immersive and enthralling experience.

“With absolutely nothing between you and the wind coming at you, would it be possible to create a virtual canopy? That was the challenge we set ourselves with the design of the new Elva,” said Parry-Williams.

Like the first film, the second has a very easy to digest title, “What makes the McLaren Senna GTR’s wing design so unique?” It features principal designer Esteban Palazzo talking about the vehicle’s carbon fiber wing.
