McLaren BP23 ‘Speed Form’: bespoke sculpture capturing velocity and luxury arrives with future owners of new McLaren Hyper-GT
- ‘Money-can’t-buy’ BP23 sculpture produced for 106 confirmed buyers of new, yet-to-be-named, #mclaren Hyper-GT
- Over 100 hours to create each ‘Speed Form’, including 30 hours of expert hand-polishing
- Glimpse of exquisitely detailed interior of the fastest and most luxurious #mclaren ever
Future owners of the still-to-be unveiled #mclaren Hyper-GT, codenamed BP23, will this week receive a sculpture of the car’s evocative and luxurious yet sporting interior. The BP23 ‘Speed Form’ also features a hint of the bodywork design that will make the next Ultimate Series #mclaren the most aerodynamic car ever from the marque and help it to achieve the highest top speed of any #mclaren, at more than 243mph.
The BP23 ‘Speed Form’ provides an early hint of the luxury and imagination that extends under the skin of the vehicle to its icon-eclipsing interior, which is arranged in the same three-seat, central driving position layout as the #mclaren F1 that inspired it. As befits a gift associated with such a rare car, examples of the BP23 Speed Form – which are individually numbered – will not be available to buy.
This three-dimensional piece of art, which measures 400mm x 205mm x 80mm and weighs a proud 3.6kg, is a product of ‘extreme craftsmanship’, created in the true spirit of leading-edge #mclaren #automotive design. Each piece is machined using the latest 5-axis CNC cutting technology but hand-assembled and finished, reliant on the interaction of human hands, eyes and skills for the achievement of #excellence.
Each #mclaren BP23 ‘Speed Form’ took more than 100 hours to create, with 30 hours of expert hand-polishing alone. A craftsman has checked each sculpture to achieve an exceptional standard of build, and the highest quality possible.
The entire BP23 allocation of 106 – the same volume as the number of #mclaren F1’s sold – was spoken for within weeks of the petrol-electric hybrid car being announced. Unlike #mclaren Sports Series and Super Series cars, which have an alphanumerical nomenclature, BP23 will carry an as-yet unannounced name that will be disclosed nearer to its reveal.
