McLaren + Bowers & Wilkins

Because boundaries are for other people

Make impossible happen

McLaren’s engineers exist at the cutting edge of technology. So in order to achieve the unbeatable sound quality they demand and their cars deserve, they naturally turned to their kindred spirits at Bowers & Wilkins.

An audio experience to equal the motoring experience

Exciting the senses

A common desire to push boundaries, of innovation and of excellence – and a common disdain for compromise. Two companies with shared ambitions and shared expertise deliver a peerless experience.

Recognized as the finest in the world

The two iF Design Awards for the Bowers & Wilkins audio installations in the McLaren GT and McLaren Speedtail simply confirm the unmatched level of engineering in, and the resulting audio performance of, these systems.

Constantly striving for perfection

Bowers & Wilkins brings its defining technologies to bear in the pursuit of the most complete audio system possible. Specified and implemented without compromise, it represents the point where the science of sound can be described as art.

Exceptional in every respect

Bowers & Wilkins engineers worked alongside their McLaren counterparts to create an audio system that enhances the entire McLaren experience. In appearance, in functionality and, above all, in performance. It’s utterly without compromise.

Zeppelin McLaren Edition

The Zeppelin McLaren Edition is a wireless smart speaker reimagined for the streaming age. Double Dome tweeters, FST midrange drive units and a powerful subwoofer combine for 24-bit high-resolution stereo sound.

Px8 McLaren Edition

Celebrating the long-standing award-winning relationship between Bowers & Wilkins and McLaren Automotive, Px8 McLaren Edition headphones fuse McLaren-inspired styling and high-performance wireless sound.

Because superlative sound is precisely what these cars deserve

Sound by Bowers & Wilkins seamlessly integrates into the Artura Spider, bringing audio excellence to the driving experience. Continuum™ midrange speakers, Nautilus™ Aluminium Double Dome tweeters and more combine to deliver unrivalled listening for all occupants.

The 750S surpasses the benchmarks for performance. It’s complemented by a Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System with Nautilus™ Aluminium Double Dome tweeters, Continuum® midrange speakers and more in both the Spider and Coupe models.

McLaren’s newest and revolutionary hybrid supercar boasts an audio integration as ground-breaking as its design. Continuum® cones and subwoofers mounted directly to the carbon monocoque chassis offer astounding sound performance.

Proving that comfort and performance can live side-by-side, the GT also offers Sound by Bowers & Wilkins to ensure that every mile passes with even greater pleasure.

Offering famous Bowers & Wilkins technologies in either the Spider or Coupe, the 765LT’s performance-oriented cabin can be equipped with enveloping Bowers & Wilkins sound.

Neither McLaren nor Bowers & Wilkins are prepared to compromise, and for the Senna, Bowers & Wilkins brings all its engineering prowess and technical know-how to bear. The result is a system as forward-thinking as the vehicle it enhances.

Only Bowers & Wilkins has the boldness, the skill, and the technologies necessary to take a car like Speedtail and equip it with a cutting-edge audio system that is so accomplished.
