McLaren celebrates success in China with debut of new 720S and 570GT commemorative edition at Auto Shanghai 2017

  • New #mclaren #720s makes its public debut in #china as order bank opens ahead of start of sales in July
  • 570GT Commemorative Edition for the #china market unveiled at #autoshanghai, celebrating three years of #mclaren operating in China

McLaren #automotive will celebrate three years of success in #china at #autoshanghai 2017 (19 – 28 April), with the national debut of the new #mclaren #720s supercar and the unveiling of a #570gt Commemorative Edition, of which just three examples will be produced. The two cars will line up as part of the #mclaren showcase at the biennial Chinese motor show, which positions itself as the world’s largest automobile trade fair. 

“McLaren has enjoyed three years of success in #china and we are delighted to be premiering the new #720s at #autoshanghai 2017 as we look forward to further growth in this market,” commented Mike Flewitt, CEO of #mclaren #automotive, who will reveal McLaren’s new supercar to the Chinese market during a press conference at 1000 hrs on 19 April. “Customer interest in #mclaren cars continues to increase rapidly and we are pleased to recognise this not only by introducing the second generation of McLaren’s Super Series #product family, but also a #570gt Commemorative Edition for #china.” 

The new #mclaren #720s makes it first appearance in #china in Performance specification, finished for the first time in a striking combination of Saros exterior paint colour and Jet Black/Xenon Yellow leather interior with visible carbon fibre Monocage II structure. A carbon fibre roof panel, rear bumper and door sills further enhance the extreme sporting intent of McLaren’s second-generation Super Series, with bonnet inlets, mirror casings, rear fender air intakes and front splitter in the same material. 

McLaren #china will begin taking orders for the new #mclaren #720s as #autoshanghai commences, with the first customer cars arriving in July.

The #570gt Commemorative Edition has been created to mark three years of #mclaren sales success in #china. Luxurious and refined, with a side-opening rear glass hatch offering an additional 220 litres of storage on the leather-lined Touring Deck, the #570gt is the ideal starting point for a special celebration model; designed with a focus on day-to-day usability and long distance comfort, it also provides the scintillating performance expected of a #mclaren.

Pacific Blue in colour – the original launch colour for the GT – the three identical Commemorative Edition cars feature a Jet Black and Areia (cream) luxury Nappa leather-trimmed By #mclaren Design interior. The rear luggage area of the car is finished in the same material, and carpets are colour-matched in Areia. A Carbon Black leather steering wheel and Carbon Black seat belts contrast with the light leather and complement the Jet Black fascia and door trim, while additional features above the usual #570gt specification include Bowers & Wilkins 12 Speaker audio system, vehicle nose lift and a rear-view camera.

To further enhance the visual drama of the car, the rear bumper and wing, door skirt and front splitter and blade are carbon fibre components by #mclaren Special Operations and the lightweight forged alloy wheels and exhausts are in Stealth finish. 

In addition to the new #720s and the #570gt Commemorative Edition, the #mclaren 570S will also be displayed on the #mclaren stand, which is 8A25, in Hall 8.1. #mclaren cars can be ordered in #china through any of ten #mclaren retailers, in Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Changsha, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Shenyang.
