The long-term close collaboration between McLaren and Monroe Intelligent Suspension has resulted in the superb handling of many supercars.

The Kinetic system was jointly developed by Monroe and McLaren's engineering team. It can inject the soul of a true supercar, integrating the driver and the road into one.

Through a system of hydraulic interconnected dampers, the system replaces classical roll bars with a semi-active chassis system, with roll control and independent control of rebound and compression on each corner of the vehicle.
