In my opinion one of the most beautiful cars of recent history is the McLaren Speedtail. Its forms and ratios are just incredible… almost every angle offers an incredible view of design and engineering, so I figured… why not mess with that concept and make a mess of things :) When Carlos showed me his M6GT I knew I had my work cut out for me. I was originally going to rebuild my F1 GTR but by the time I had finished those renders months had passed and they no longer looked as good as they needed to and I decided to drop that concept all together a few weeks back and start new. I felt the Speedtail would be a perfect design and homage counterpart to Carlos’s M6GT. It turns out they are very well connected and bridge the gap between the old and new for McLaren as a company. I started working on this one a few weeks ago and have to say its my personal favorite of the MHC collection so far… LOTS of learning and some massive breakthroughs in the approach to photorealism with this collection. So thankful to be making this collection with Carlos. We are constantly pushing one another daily with the goal of being the best version of ourselves daily. Its not easy but its been an amazing pattern of growth that Im so thankful for. This is just the first of MANY renders for MHC 010 edition which I call the X-P9 or THE AILERON.
