McLaren Special Operations is the company’s bespoke creation arm. If a McLaren just isn’t special enough for you, this division will tailor a car to your heart’s, or wallet’s, desire. MSO will take any existing model and tweak it to a customer’s preferences, so far as creating an entirely new body in one case.

McLaren has just launched two new variations on the McLaren 720S MSO. The two new variants are dubbed 720S Pacific Theme and the 720S Track Theme. Click here to read more about MSO. 

Track theme

The Track Theme car is painted in Anniversary White with a heavy influence coming from by McLaren’s Formula 1 car. Hand-painted detailing occurs on the bonnet, doors, rear quarter panels. The airbrake is in carbon black and McLaren’s Formula 1 colour from 2017, Tarroco Orange. Orange is also used on the outer rim of the gloss black wheels and a Speedy Kiwi representation on the mirror casings complete the exterior enhancements.

All carbon-fibre components have a satin finish, saving weight. The cabin is trimmed in Jet Black Alcantara with McLaren Orange contrast stitching. A titanium harness bar is installed behind the seats and can be fitted with a six-point harness for track use.

The Pacific Theme

The 720S Pacific Theme takes its inspiration from blue of the world’s largest and deepest ocean. It is painted in Cerulean Blue, used on today’s McLaren Formula 1 car, with its door intakes finished in a darker Estoril Blue. The paintwork is enhanced by tinting of carbon fibre components and Cobalt Blue-tinted carbon is used on the roof, front splitter, air intakes, mirror casings, rear diffuser, rear deck and rear bumper and engine cover.

The interior of the 720S Pacific Theme features standard seats with bespoke blue inserts and contrast stitching. The finishing touch is a blue centre band on the steering wheel. The personalisation of both cars is completed by MSO dedication plaques in the cabin, reinforcing their status as bespoke commissions from McLaren Special Operations.

In their own words

“The 720S is an exceptional car in every respect in standard form but there is always the potential to make it even more special with additional, individual, creative input, which is where McLaren Special Operations comes in,” commented Ansar Ali, managing director of McLaren Special Operations. “We were overwhelmed by the reaction to the 720S Velocity at its unveiling and to bring to life two more versions of the MSO 720S Themes portfolio further demonstrates that MSO can fulfill any request to ensure that a car perfectly meets a customer’s vision.”
