McLaren Special Operations showcases MSO 650s Coupe Concept in China

McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the bespoke division of McLaren Automotive, has released images of the MSO 650S Coupe Concept - a showcase of the MSO designed and engineered upgrades available for the new McLaren 650S Coupe and 650S Spider. The MSO 650S has a stealth-esque appearance, with subtle upgrades made to the exterior bodywork and the cabin.

The concept will be displayed throughout China over the coming weeks. The car is finished in 'Agrigan Black - a specially developed metallic black paint with a deep ruby red metallic flake.

The finish gives the exterior bodywork a dramatic colour change in direct sunlight, contrasting with the extensive use of satin finished carbon fibre highlights.

The lightweight carbon fibre accents, including the prominent front splitter and air intakes, are complemented by bespoke MSO carbon fibre side blades and the unique MSO rear diffuser.

The exterior look is finished with the addition of a set of special satin black finished lightweight '650S' alloy wheels, shod with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres.

The cockpit - finished in carbon black leather - is fitted with the fixed back carbon fibre racing seats, based on the lightweight design found in the McLaren P1. The seats position occupants lower in the car and provide superb levels of upper and lower body support, while offering a weight saving of 15kg.

Although the MSO 650S Coupe Concept is presented as a design study, the MSO side blades and rear diffuser are available to order now with a new 650S - and in addition - can be fitted to its predecessor, the 12C.
