Like its siblings, the McLaren Edition Px8 features bespoke 40mm Carbon Cone drive units, angled to ensure a consistent distance relative to the listener’s ears, from every point across the surface of each driver.

The new Px8 McLaren Edition will be available from the Bowers & Wilkins website, mclarenstore.com priced at £699 ($799 / €799).
