Beautiful design and high performance combine as never before with the latest collaboration between premium smartphone maker OnePlus and McLaren, the racing and technology brand and creator of luxury, high performance sportscars and supercars. Announced today, the new OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition draws inspiration from signature McLaren design and celebrates the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.

This is the second collaboration between McLaren and OnePlus following the acclaimed “Salute to Speed” OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition launched in 2018. OnePlus and McLaren have worked together to ensure that in design, feel and intuitive operation the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition echoes all of McLaren’s signature qualities.

Exquisitely crafted design
Inspired by McLaren’s unparalleled design approach, the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren edition is a combination of power and beauty. It is distinguished by a subtle and stylish application of the iconic McLaren papaya orange in tribute to McLaren Racing’s history and seen on the current McLaren Racing Formula 1 car.

Attention to detail is paramount, and even the outer casing of the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren edition is meticulously designed, featuring Alcantara®, a soft premium material used in the interior of McLaren cars because it offers both durability and unparalleled grip. Alcantara® is instantly familiar to McLaren fans all over the world, giving an exceptional feeling of power and luxury.

Customised McLaren software

Additionally, custom-made icons, only available on the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition, complete the overall McLaren experience.

Blisteringly-fast performance
With 256 GB of UFS 3.0 storage and 12GB LPDDR4X RAM, the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition pairs flagship hardware with refined software for blisteringly-fast performance, just like a supercar. The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition also touts the latest Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 855 Plus Mobile Platform with unimaginable performance and power efficiency.

“Following last year’s successful ‘Salute to Speed’ launch we’re excited to once again be launching a limited-edition McLaren device with our partner OnePlus. We are two challenger brands whose restless pursuit of innovation reaches its pinnacle with the new OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition. The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition celebrates our brands’ shared passion for design, craftmanship and innovation and we look forward to seeing how this is received by McLaren and technology fans worldwide.“

About McLaren Automotive:
McLaren Automotive is a creator of luxury, high-performance sportscars and supercars.

Every vehicle is hand-assembled at the McLaren Production Centre (MPC) in Woking, Surrey, England.

Launched in 2010, the company is now the largest part of the McLaren Group.

The company has defined product families: Sports Series, Super Series, Ultimate Series and Motorsport which are retailed through over 80 retailers in more than 30 markets around the world.

McLaren is a pioneer that continuously pushes the boundaries. In 1981, it introduced lightweight and strong carbon fibre chassis into Formula 1 with the McLaren MP4/1. Then in 1993 it designed and built the McLaren F1 road car – the company has not built a car without a carbon fibre chassis since. As part of the Ultimate Series, McLaren was the first to deliver a hybrid hypercar, the McLaren P1™.

Announced at Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2018, the company’s Track25 business plan will see it invest £1.2billion in research and development to deliver 18 new cars or derivatives by the end of 2025.

In 2018, the company launched the 600LT and the first two cars of Track25, the McLaren Speedtail, the next Ultimate Series, and McLaren’s first ever Hyper-GT, and 720S Spider. It also opened a new £50m McLaren Composites Technology Centre in the Sheffield region in the North of England that will see it produce the next generation of lightweight carbon fibre ‘tubs’ that are at the heart of all McLaren cars.

2019 saw McLaren launch the 600LT Spider confirmed as the third car of Track25, with a new GT car announced and the previously-confirmed track-only Senna GTR unveiled.

To support the development, engineering and manufacture of its range of innovative sportscars and supercars, McLaren Automotive partners with world leading companies to provide specialist expertise, technology and solutions. These include Richard Mille, Pirelli, Dell Technologies, Ashurst, AkzoNobel and OnePlus.

McLaren Group:
The McLaren Group is a global leader in luxury automotive and technology and comprises three businesses: Automotive, Racing and Applied Technologies.

Racing:

Since those early days, the McLaren Group has developed into one of international sport’s most successful competitors, become a globally renowned automotive manufacturer, and earned recognition as one of the most illustrious high-technology brands in the world.

The McLaren team campaigns the 2019 FIA Formula 1 World Championship with Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris. They drive the McLaren MCL34.
