They are just wheel covers to drastically reduce air turbulence. The wheel is the same as the back.

Copy.... When i looked it up online they all had the same covers. At first I was thinking NBPD booted a new Mclaren fasttail...haha

Ehhh. Cool tech, but that thing looks dated. Kinda Jag XJ220ish

 

[traquer]

These new Mclarens are crazy fast, can't imagine this one. I've seen Manny Koshbin booking it in his Bugatti on PCH, I bet he's got one of these too

Right around 45th on Peninsula beachfront home based on address in Nprt... I was cruisin on bike so not sure.

Who ever would have guessed that this hi-tech feature would find it's way to a McLaren ?? -- because the front wheel covers don't spin, in order to direct the air flow properly down the side.

Yup... that video instructed us well on aerodynamics on this 1K hp auto. I wonder what $1.5M lbs converts to in US.... just checked and its over $2M US

One thing I wasn't clear on were the flexible ailerons (Flaps) on the back deck. Wasn't sure if they worked off of negative pressure, or were a controlled surface. Would appear by the way he bent them, the former, but that's kind of reverse logic if they're for downforce.

And he said "similar to aircraft design" which went over my head

My take on the rear portion he calls it ailerons is a bit off. Since ailerons on airplanes designed to control roll, they're on the forward wing These corner wings on the car should be called something else. If it has a combined design function [ maybe it has, the presenter didn't mention ] as a aileron for high speed turns or a elevator create downforce at high speed straights, doing those 200+ runs.
Probably should have called it stabilator [ stabilizer+elevator ] ?

This is Dakota (the cars name) owned by Dan_am_i (his user name on instagram). He has a fleet of konigseggs, paganis, and other high end cars.

That's dan_am_i on Instagram. Ridiculous collection.

He may have referred to them as something else, like flexible flappy things anyway, they didn't appear connected to anything, so hell-if- I-know and $ 2 mil is only close to $ 2 Mil over my budget so I may never know.
