The project

Two series were made for McLaren Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, around two models: the 720S and the 600LT.

The approach

For the 720S, we wanted to go deeper into storytelling, with a film built around a family heritage. For the 600LT, the series stays in a lifestyle spirit: a silhouette, the Los Angeles light and the details of the car.

01 — 720S

The heritage

The film tells the story of a heritage. As a child, she discovers cars with her grandfather, a designer of the McLaren F1. As an adult, it is her turn to take the wheel of the 720S. The storyboard sets out the five shots of the story, from the driver back to the childhood memory.

02 — 600LT

The 600LT

The 600LT series alternates a silhouette in the fog, butterfly doors open, a poster under a cinema neon and details of the car at sunset: the wheel, the wing, the cockpit facing the sand.
