McLaren 720S (2017-2023) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber RY Front Hood

Engineered for McLaren 720S Coupé and Spider (2017-2023) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber RY Front Hood redefines the 720S front hood with functional vent channels and track-grade aggression in the RY design language. Manufactured in Europe by BYC Performance, it bolts directly to OEM mounting points.

The 720S's 4.0L twin-turbo V8 M840T (710 hp) and carbon MonoCage II monocoque deliver Super Series character, and the RY hood's vented geometry plus lightweight carbon structure complete it. Notable weight savings over the OEM aluminum hood — reduces front-axle weight.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon: Autoclave-cured, a more consistent weave.
• RY Design — Functional Vents: Vent geometry that extracts hot air from the front section.
• Weight Savings: Notably lighter than the OEM aluminum hood → reduces front-axle weight.
• High Strength: Very high strength for its weight.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Under high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: 720S hood hinge + latch points.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat.

Prepreg (Dry) Carbon vs. Wet Carbon

• Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure → a more consistent weave
• A controlled resin ratio → lighter and stronger
