The car was fitted with various aftermarket parts as part of McLaren’s collaboration with eBay, providing a unique experience for the event taking place in Austin, Texas. With a V-8 engine boasting 340 cubic inches, the Barracuda is a bold choice and represents an authentic style of American automotive culture.

Although Norris is known for his modern sports cars, like McLarens, he also owns classic supercars, such as a Lamborghini Miura. He commented that the experience of driving the Barracuda is different from what he is used to, highlighting the blend of vintage design with confidence in contemporary performance.

The McLaren team customized the car with a coil-over suspension, Wilwood brakes, and racing seats, while maintaining classic elements like a wooden steering wheel.
