McLaren and JVCKenwood have teamed up to create this, the McLaren 675LT JVCKenwood Concept, which was unveiled at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The concept was created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of both companies’ Formula 1 partnership, and takes a bog standard 675LT Coupe, and piles on the tech.
On the exterior, the key changes on the car are the two door-mounted camera blades that replace the conventional side mirrors, with another camera residing just above the rear number plate. The concept also receives an Onyx Black paintjob with JVCKenwood silver racing stripes and gloss black machined lightweight alloy wheels.
Inside, the 675LT has racing seats, a Carbon Black Nappa leather dashboard with a Satellite Grey Technical fabric strip running across it, along with Geometric Black Technical fabric and Calypso Orange Nappa leather trim pieces.
Remember those three exterior cameras? They are connected to a Digital Rear View Monitor (DRVM) that is positioned just above the driver that claims to provide better rearward visibility than traditional rear view mirrors. This sound reminiscent of BMW’s Mirrorless Camera technology that was unveiled earlier.
This is only part of JVCKenwood’s CAROPTRONICS system, which also includes an all-in-one heads-up display (HUD) system combined with the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to communicate information to the driver. The HUD replaces the instrument cluster, and provides all necessary information to the driver. The HUD is controlled via buttons located on the new steering wheel that is taken from the McLaren P1 GTR.
