FAB Design VAYU RPR Spider brings aggressive tuning to McLaren 650S at Geneva
FAB Design unveiled the VAYU RPR Spider at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, reworking the McLaren 650S Spider with a wide-body kit, uprated exhaust and bespoke interior details.
FAB Design used the 2015 Geneva Motor Show to launch the VAYU RPR Spider, a heavily modified take on the McLaren 650S Spider. The Swiss tuner’s latest project stands out with a wide-body kit, distinctive split rear spoiler and a raft of bespoke exterior and interior changes.
The VAYU RPR Spider’s bodywork is immediately more aggressive than the standard McLaren. FAB Design has fitted wider front and rear arches, deeper side skirts, enlarged air intakes and a new front spoiler. The rear end is dominated by a muscular diffuser and a split-design rear wing, all finished in a matte black paint that will divide opinion but certainly draws attention on the show floor.
The car sits on 20-inch Evolution wheels, with Dunlop rubber sized 275/25ZR20 at the front and 325/30ZR20 at the rear. FAB Design has also fitted a new stainless steel aluminium exhaust system with three outlets, which alone is claimed to add 32 hp to the 650S’s output.
Performance and specification
The standard McLaren 650S Spider is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 650 hp and 678 Nm. With the FAB Design exhaust upgrade, the VAYU RPR Spider is said to deliver a modest power increase, although official full-system figures were not detailed at Geneva. The base car’s performance is already formidable: 0-62 mph in three seconds and a top speed of 204 mph.
Inside, FAB Design has taken a more restrained approach than with the exterior. The VAYU RPR Spider features a new aluminium pedal set, carbon fibre trim and additional leather detailing. Hand-embroidered FAB Design logos appear on the floor mats and headrests, giving the cabin a bespoke feel without veering into excess.
Position among Geneva’s supercar debuts
The VAYU RPR Spider was one of several supercars and tuned exotics to appear at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, sharing the spotlight with models such as the Porsche 911 GT3 RSand Ferrari 488 GTB. FAB Design’s approach, focusing on visual drama and incremental performance gains, targets buyers seeking exclusivity beyond the already rare McLaren base car.
Pricing for the base 650S Spider started at £212,250 in 2015, with the VAYU RPR Spider’s bespoke upgrades expected to command a considerable premium. FAB Design’s latest creation is aimed squarely at collectors and enthusiasts looking for a one-off look and a more extroverted take on the McLaren formula.
