McLaren stuns with bespoke duo 17 | 02 | 2016

McLAREN IS SET to grab a number of headlines when it showcases bespoke examples of the P1 hypercar and 675LT Spider, produced by its McLaren Special Operations (MSO) division, at next month’s Geneva Motor Show (see more photographs of McLaren MSO 675LT Spider and P1).

Boasting ceramic grey paintwork, the one-off 675LT Spider features a carbonfibre retractable hard-top (saving 1kg of weight), and carbonfibre louvres around the front wings. The car's intake at the rear is also carbonfibre weave, and the titanium exhaust system receives a 24-carat gold heat shield.

Only 500 examples of the regular 675LT Spider will be made, all of which have already been sold.

Inside the cabin there's unique colour detailing, plus black Alcantara seats with contrasting yellow stitching.

As with the regular 675LT Spider, the MSO version is powered by the twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V8 engine, which produces 666bhp and 516lb/ft of torque. The Spider variant matches the 675LT coupé from 0-62mph, with a time of 2.9sec, and has a top speed of 203mph.

The other showstopper, the bespoke McLaren P1, gets a full ‘visual’ carbonfibre body conversion and features new black alloy wheels, black Alcantara trim inside with contrasting blue stitching. It also gets the same gold heat shield as the 675LT Spider.
