Three years after launching at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, McLaren Special Operations (MSO) will return to the fairway of the 18th hole at the famous Pebble Beach automotive weekend with an unique example of the McLaren P1 and the recently launched MSO 650S Spider.
The bespoke MSO division was launched in 2011, and offers a full personalisation service for McLaren owners. Commissioned by a North American customer, the McLaren P1 features a host of bespoke options, which clearly identifies this car from the rest, and is on display publicly for the first time.
Using the famous McLaren Orange paint throughout to accent the aerodynamic form of the car, the Pebble Beach debut is a showcase of what MSO can offer on the P1.
The unique example of the hybrid hypercar is subtly modified to mark this example out from the other 170 examples, which have been built to date. At the front, silver finishing to the aluminium radiator grilles sit below the gloss carbon fibre bumper.
Above this, a McLaren Orange speedmark adorns the bonnet. On closer inspection, these subtle enhancements run throughout the entire car, and combine to create a truly stunning one-off example.
Along the profile of the car, brake callipers finished in the heritage colour are mounted behind body-coloured alloy wheels, while a striking 'P1' logo on the leading edge of the rear wheel arch - inspired by the labelling used on the test mules during the development of the McLaren P1.
The rump is enhanced further by the fitment of 24 carat gold heatshields around the engine bay and exhaust. The material, is used for its reflective and heat resistance qualities, and contrasts' against the dark paintwork and Satin Nickel-finished Stealth Pack.
The upper surface of the rear wing is finished in body colour, while the lower area is bare carbon fibre. A bespoke aluminium grille is fitted above the carbon fibre bumper, and is framed by the iconic LED tail light design.
In the cabin, the lightweight carbon shell racing seats are fitted with a four-point harness, while further subtle contrasting details feature throughout, with Stone Grey binding and stitching on all upholstery, and McLaren Orange accents on the centre console. Custom Satin Nickel-finished air vents mimic the finish found on the exterior exhaust finisher.
