Now there is also a tailor-made N-LARGO variant for the McLaren 720S Spider limited to just 15 units worldwide. The spectacular widebody version is manufactured from carbon and not only impresses with its design perfected in the wind tunnel: Forged carbon elements give the open-top two-seater a particularly custom appearance besides.

The NOVITEC air intakes aft of the doors supply the engine bay with breathing and cooling air.
However, the conversion of the bodywork not only focused on an extravagant appearance, but also on the optimization of the driving dynamics by means of efficient modifications to the aerodynamics. A comprehensive design package makes the face of the English sports car even more striking: The NOVITEC N-LARGO front fascia replaces the production bumper in its entirety and at its sides perfectly joins the wider fenders of the widebody version.
NOVITEC developed an extremely prominent front blade to match the new front, which further improves the handling stability at high speeds. The use of forged carbon enabled NOVITEC to achieve a highly exceptional look, which continues in all naked-carbon elements of the widebody version.

Special add-on components on the left and right adapt the wider fenders of the widebody version to the rear bumper. In addition, NOVITEC also offers a forged carbon variant of the diffuser.
Sport springs, which lower the ride height of the open-top 720S by about 35 millimeters, highlight the thrilling looks of the NOVITEC N-LARGO even more.
The special appeal of the refined mid-engine sports car lies not only in its unique appearance, but also in its superior performance: The McLaren twin-turbo four-liter eight-cylinder engine offers an excellent starting point for professional tuning the NOVITEC way. The product range for the 720S Spider comprises three different output levels, which all build on the plug-and-play NOVITEC N-TRONIC auxiliary control unit. This module is adapted to the electronic engine controls of the vehicle and supplies the engine with performance-optimized mapping for injection and ignition, while moderately increasing the electronic boost pressure limit.
The most powerful performance level additionally comprises a NOVITEC RACE high-performance exhaust system, which lets the engine breathe out more freely and further optimizes the power delivery.
