McLaren has pushed hard to bring the latest development package to the Marina Bay circuit, but has only produced enough parts for one car to have the entire range of new elements.
Norris will have use of them all this weekend, while team-mate Oscar Piastri will initially have some of the new parts prior to him getting the entire range from next weekend’s Japanese GP.
Beyond the team putting into action a new high-downforce rear wing that it trialled at the Dutch GP, the full range of aero changes will be revealed for the first time on Friday.
Norris said the core focus of the revisions is in lifting the weaknesses that the MCL60 has had at slow speed this year, but he has predicted some excitement about the potential shown.
He said it was the most significant car development that McLaren had introduced since the major update that helped turn around its season from the Austrian GP.
“Probably since Austria, it is the thing that we believe will kind of help us move forward the most since then,” he said.
“Obviously, we've not run it on the track yet and so we don't want to say too much until we've actually got it to work properly but it’s a good step.
“The team have worked hard to get it on one of the cars here, and then we'll have the rest in Japan too. So it is an exciting couple of weekends for us.”
