Given much-needed spruce up, the new McLaren Edition of the Fives gets the iconic F1 team's matte black and papaya colour scheme on the tweeter domes and control panel. Also, the braided mains power cable and umbilical lead that connect one speaker to the other now have orangey flecks. There's even a 'stability pad' on the underside of the speakers, which is a piece of rubber patterned to look like a tyre!
