McLaren vs Aerodynamics: Behind The Scenes
Light painting has been around for decades – but it has never been put into full motion. Until now. We started by processing wind tunnel airflow data using custom-designed software to produce a 1,000-frame 3D animation. We then sliced each frame into 650 individual frames to produce a 3D space, a bit like a medical CAT scan. Then we filmed it, using two motion control rigs in a large studio. On had a plasma screen mounted on it, while the other was fitted with a digital stills camera. The plasma screen was then used as a moving 3D light printer while the camera shot the resulting footage using long exposure photography. We did this 1,000 times for each frame, moving the camera a tiny amount each time to show movement. We then rendered the images. Twice. Rendering 1.3 million frames takes up a lot of storage space and time: 1.3 Terabytes and 3,600 hours, to be exact. Why did we go to all this trouble? Because we are McLaren. And because it’s worth it…
Pay attention to this one:
And now the ten (yes, ten) teaser images taken from the light show:

Its really mental specially the rear end which i love, the front yeah its ok, all in all i think McLaren designers have stepped up the game in term of supercar design and aerodynamics with the P12

I really like that, the rear-end treatment is first class and I presume we can expect some active aero at the back as well. Those rear lights are also going to look amazing at night and I love the front end light treatment as well as they emulate the McLaren symbol
