McLaren builds cars at the absolute edge of what’s street legal. Every platform is engineered with a level of precision that demands the same in return from the hands that service them, modify them, and protect them. At 412 Motorsport in Los Angeles, we’ve built our McLaren program around the cars that define the brand: the 765LT, the 750S, and the full lineup of Super Series, GT, and Sport Series platforms.
These are not cars for a shop that isn’t serious. We are.
The 765LT: Our Most Demanded McLaren
The 765LT is the car that defines what McLaren is capable of when they remove everything unnecessary and pushes everything else to its limit. Lighter, faster, louder, and more focused than any standard Super Series car and an absolute magnet for owners who want to build on what McLaren already got right.
We work on more 765LTs than any other McLaren in our shop. Exhaust systems, PPF, wheel packages, carbon upgrades, and full protection build the 765LT demands quality work and rewards it visually and dynamically in ways that lesser cars can’t.
Our 765LT work includes:
- Full and partial PPF packages engineered for the LT’s aero bodywork
- Exhaust system upgrades for a more aggressive, open sound profile
- Forged wheel fitment with proper offset for the LT’s wide-body proportions
- Carbon fibre exterior upgrades and aero component installation
- Paint correction and ceramic coating for high-use protection
If you own a 765LT, you already know this car is special. The way it’s cared for should reflect that.
The 750S: McLaren’s New Benchmark
The 750S replaced the 720S as McLaren’s core Super Series offering and sharpened everything in the process. More power, revised aerodynamics, updated suspension geometry, it’s the most capable standard McLaren on the market, and owners are already bringing them to us to go further.
We approach the 750S with the same depth we bring to the 765LT. Whether it’s a full protection build at delivery, an exhaust upgrade, or a complete visual transformation, the 750S gets the attention the car’s engineering demands.
Exhaust Systems & Sound Engineering for McLaren
A McLaren exhaust note is one of the most distinctive sounds in the automotive world high-pitched, mechanical, and unapologetic. The factory system manages that sound, but there’s significantly more character available with the right exhaust system.
We build McLaren exhaust programs around the specific platform, the owner’s sound goals, and the integration with factory electronics. Getting it wrong on a McLaren means drone, poor valve behaviour, or a sound that fights the car’s character instead of enhancing it. Getting it right means the car sounds like what it actually is.
Exhaust services include:
- Full exhaust system replacements for McLaren platforms
- Cat-back and valve-controlled configurations
- Titanium and Inconel system options for weight reduction
- Clean integration with factory active exhaust systems
- Heat shielding and thermal management
Performance Tuning for McLaren
McLaren’s M840T and M480T engine families are exceptional from the factory and respond well to calibrated tuning. The twin-turbocharged architecture leaves meaningful power available delivered cleanly, without compromising the precision that makes a McLaren a McLaren.
We approach McLaren ECU work with the same methodology we apply to every platform: model-specific, verified, and built around the owner’s goals. No generic maps. No chasing numbers at the expense of drivability.
Tuning services include:
- ECU calibration for 720S, 750S, 765LT, and GT platforms
- Stage 1 and Stage 2 power upgrades
- Throttle map and power delivery optimisation
- Boost pressure and fueling calibration
- Pre- and post-tune verification
Wheels, Tires & Suspension
McLaren’s factory wheel packages are among the best-looking in the supercar space, but proper fitment, weight reduction, and tire selection can transform how the car drives and how it looks in equal measure.
The 765LT in particular benefits significantly from a properly specced forged wheel package. The weight savings are real and felt immediately. On a car already obsessed with mass reduction, it’s one of the highest-return upgrades available.
Services include:
- Forged wheel solutions for all McLaren platforms
- Performance tire selection matched to use and compound
- Suspension upgrades and coilover fitment
- Alignment setup for street and track use
- Spacer and fitment consultation for specific aero configurations
Paint Protection, PPF & Wraps
A McLaren is one of the most visually complex cars to protect properly. The body lines, the aero components, the door apertures present a fitment challenge that requires experience and patience. We’ve done enough of them to know where the problem areas are before they become problems.
Our PPF work on McLarens is designed for longevity clean edges, no lifting, no bubbling on cars that are driven the way their owners intended them to be driven.
Protection and aesthetic services include:
- Full and partial Paint Protection Film for all McLaren models
- Window tint for UV protection and interior comfort
- Color change and custom wraps
- Paint correction prior to PPF and ceramic application
- Ceramic coating for maintaining long-term gloss
Carbon Fibre & Aerodynamics
McLaren already uses carbon fibre extensively in the MonoCell chassis, the body panels, the aero components. For owners who want to go further, the right carbon upgrades reinforce what the factory started without overcomplicating the car’s visual balance.
We source and install carbon fibre components that are engineered for the specific McLaren platform not generic catalogue parts. Fitment, finish, and integration with factory aero geometry are non-negotiable.
Carbon and aero services include:
- Carbon fibre exterior components and trim replacement
- Front splitter, rear diffuser, and wing upgrades
- Side skirts and sill cover installations
- Full aero packages for track-focused builds
- Post-installation paint protection and finish work
The Full McLaren Lineup
Beyond the 765LT and 750S, our McLaren work extends across the full model range:
- GT Grand touring builds, protection packages, and exhaust upgrades for the most livable McLaren in the lineup.
- 720S is still one of the most capable cars McLaren has produced. Owners continue to build and refine them, and we continue to work on them at the same level we always have.
- Artura McLaren’s hybrid platform is new territory for a lot of shops. We approach it with the same care we bring to every other platform, understanding the hybrid architecture before touching anything.
- Sport Series (570S, 570GT, 540C) Entry-level McLarens that deserve the same precision as their more expensive siblings. We treat them the same way.
- P1 — Yes, we’ve worked on them. The McLaren P1 is one of the most significant hypercars ever built — a hybrid masterpiece produced in limited numbers that most shops will never see in person. When a P1 comes through our doors, everything stops. It gets the time, the care, and the hands it deserves.
