The McLaren M Eleven B concept was the winner of a design
competion by McLaren for final year students of Transport
Design at IED (Istituto Italiano di Design) in Turin,
Italy.
The brief was to design "A 320 km/h plus sports car"
for McLaren, and the car should provide the owner Formula
1 technology for the road and superb dynamic and aerodynamic
performance.
The 39 IED students were divided into 14 groups, each
presenting a proposed McLaren supercar as a 1:4 scale
model.
The McLaren M Eleven B came out as the overall winner,
its designers used a wide variety of inspiration, from
the animal world to aircraft and racing motorcycles.
Constructed from carbon fibre the McLaren M Eleven B would
benefit from Formula 1 style lateral vents, undefloor
aerodynamics and exchangeable body panels which could
be swapped in favour of more track-biased components.
