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.
Uncompromised and uncompromising design
Technology proven in the world’s best studios
Unity is strength, every time
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.

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.
