Engine
The McLaren MP4-VX runs on a 3.8 liter V8 engine with twin turbochargers, boosting the car’s performance to 616 horsepower at 7500 rpm. At 7000 rpm, the car is capable of generating a torque of 443 lb-ft.
The transmission is a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox while the layout is a mid-engine rear-wheel drive.
Performance
Compared with the stock version, the body kit upgrade from Vorsteiner provides improved downforce at high speeds.
This translates into better road grip and stability. At the same time, the carbon-fiber reduces some weight making the McLaren more agile and responsive at tight corners.
Exterior
The upgrade kit contains a new front bumper with dual air duct system that goes with two side ventilation louvers. Its entire front nose has been redesigned but without touching the hood.
Similar upgrades have been applied to the rear with dual ventilation louvers and a new central opening. Black carbon fiber elements can be seen above the exhaust pipes.
Last but not least, the stock diffused has been swapped with a carbon fiber version while the sides received brand new skirts.
The redesigned front nose, side skirts and reworked rear gives the impression that it is a new model from McLaren. Vorsteiner managed to improve the car’s performance only through exterior body work.
With more downforce to keep the car on the road at high speeds, the new Vorsteiner McLaren MP4-VX delivers a fresh new look for a supercar that hasn’t received a visual upgrade in years.
