    Commissioned by the McLaren Special Operations programme as an MSO Collection, the XP 570GT has been designed to replicate the dark green paint job of the 1997 ‘Longtail.’ (Related: McLaren Glasgow No1 again)

    While the outside side is finished in a special colour called ‘XP Green,’  in the cabin the tan leather interior is another tribute to one of McLaren’s most famous road cars.

    All six cars — priced from £188,567 — use the 562bhp 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 found in the ‘standard’ McLaren 570GT, which is £34,000. The cars are being sold to customers in the UK, Netherlands and Germany.

    The F1 XP GT, or Longtail as it is know, was the original prototype used to meet FIA homologation requirements following the F1’s victory at Le Mans in 1995.

    As a result of the £1billion McLaren has invested into research and development, it will produce 15 new cars by 2022, half of which will feature hybrid technology.
