d:class McLaren 600LT Applik Interior Retrim

Today marks a major new milestone for automotive interiors with the combined design and workings between d:class automotive and Formation Industries sub-brand @appli_k with the unveiling of over 500 hours of combined work with @dclassauto to bring an entirely new era in automotive interior design and processes to the market.

During a meeting between David Price and designer Chris Mcgee in 2020, the idea to create a collaborative interior for the demo McLaren 600LT was put forward, and little did they know quite how much it would change everything.

Over 350 hours of design concepts, test panels, and painstaking production have given life to the interior and more so to redefine the visual and textural expectations for automotive interiors going forward.
Drawing inspiration from classic marquetry and over 8 years of perfecting Chris’s work with @alcantara_company beautiful materials, a 3D visual and textural panel was created, that still allowed for comfort and flexibility. Yet offering a visually stunning and captivating interior that must be seen to fully appreciated.

@dclassauto put in over 150 painstaking hours into bringing the panel pieces to life and creating their interpretation of the @Appli_k panel work with their in-house CNC @dclassautostitch stitch into the seat base, door cards, and lumbar support which was brought together with the panels from Applik with beatiful stitching. The orange micro-piping acts like a picture frame to the shapes and contains them whilst ensuring that you are drawn in deeply. Flawlessly combing the panels into sublime, comfortable, and desirable pieces, in a way only d:class automotive does, giving the car a feeling of a high fashion model, ready to display on the catwalk.

We hope you see the beauty and the potential in this new standard for luxury automotive interiors, and we welcome your thoughts and enquiries.
