Behind the fuss-free steering wheel is a 10.1-inch TFT
driver display – but what if you want it to disappear?
Abracadabra – choose ‘Track Mode’ and the screen folds
into the dash, leaving a slender, horizontal shift light and an
even better view of the track ahead.
Another eight-inch touch screen sits flush with the centre
console, providing total connectivity through Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi, but it also lets you control a new feature, designed to
thrill. Variable Drift Control is a McLaren innovation that
lets you tailor the intervention of the stability and traction
control systems on a sliding scale. With your fingertip, you
choose how large a tail-slide or ‘slip angle’ you want before
the electronics reign you in. This level of control offers the
driver the freedom to test their nerve, as well as the outer
limits of the car’s extraordinary performance. And control
is important when you’re driving a supercar with a 4.0-litre
twin-turbo V8 that produces a stupendous 720PS (710bhp)
and 770Nm of torque.
