McLaren Automotive and Sparco collaborate to offer world’s lightest race suit. Weighing in at just 1.3 lb (size 52), each garment takes 12 hours to create.
McLaren Automotive is known for its continuous pursuit of light weighting technology.
Following that thread, a must-have item for McLaren fans, racers and track-day drivers alike, is the Sparco McLaren SP16+, a race suit designed like no other.
With the whole suit weighing at least 10 per cent less than any other, the Sparco McLaren SP16+ is the lightest race suit approved by the FIA at just 1.3lbs (size 52).
Weight optimization has defined McLaren cars for more than half a century.
Equally, for the past 40 years, it has been the guiding passion for Sparco, a company synonymous with motorsport safety and style. In a unique partnership, these two pioneering companies have joined forces to combine their innovative, weight-saving technologies to create the lightest race suit in the world.
Worn by McLaren F1 Racing Team drivers since 2016, this groundbreaking suit can now be ordered by McLaren Automotive customers.
As with the Formula 1 race suits, the Sparco McLaren SP16+ is entirely hand-made in Italy, each taking more than 12 hours to complete.
The Sparco McLaren SP16+ race suit costs from £2,344 plus taxes. Bespoke options at an additional cost start from £250 plus taxes.
