McLaren Special Operations (MSO) is
a dedicated division to help you take
your McLaren ownership even further.
We exist to create these cars around an
owner’s individual tastes.

One Of A Kind
Our highly skilled and hand-picked team
can design, create and engineer almost
anything. Whether you have been
inspired to create a unique tailor-made
interior colour scheme combined with
a bespoke exterior paint treatment,
or perhaps a one-off wheel finish, our
mission is to transform what is already
special into something truly unique.
MSO was created in 2011, but its
origins can be traced to before the
foundation of McLaren Automotive and
back to the launch of the McLaren F1 in
1992. We were determined to offer the
owners of the world’s most special car
a customer care programme as unique
as the McLaren F1 itself. That meant a
personalisation service for customers
to tailor the car to their exact
requirements, and technicians who
would literally travel around the world
to provide service and maintenance.
McLaren Heritage has since grown
into a dedicated team which is an
integral part of MSO.

McLaren Special Operations
To showcase our team’s skill in design
and expressing individuality, we have
created five very special Super Series
themes to inspire your own creations.
Designed to display both our technical
skill, and the wide range of different
visual effects that can be achieved
through our MSO Bespoke catalogue,
each model also reveals and enhances
a different facet of the pioneering and
multi-talented 720S.
The MSO 720S Velocity celebrates the
extreme performance credentials
of the inspirational Super Series
model, and the striking paint theme
comprises two pearlescent hues of
red: a newly formulated shade, Nerello
Red, is applied to the nose of the car
– including on the tinted carbon fibre
hood – and fades into a vivid Volcano
Red that covers the sides and rear.

The devil is in the detail on the
MSO 720S Pacific Theme, but it is a
fitting showcase for the precision
on offer from MSO. Inspired by the
Earth’s largest ocean, it features the
unique combination of rich Kingfisher
Blue paintwork and our exquisite
tinted carbon fibre detail. The blue
exterior hues highlight both the
match-to-sample paint service of
MSO and our stunning tinted carbon
fibre components. Complementing
the bespoke MSO exterior is an
interior featuring diamond-stitched
carbon fibre racing seats with a blue
contrast stitch. The finishing touch to
the interior is a discreet blue centre
band on the steering wheel.

Providing visual stimulation that evokes

MSO 720S Stealth features a Sarthe
Grey paint hue inspired by the
legendary McLaren F1 GTR that won
outright at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in
1995. Contrasting exterior
enhancement comes courtesy of
intricate hand-painted Vermillion Red
pin-striping. In further homage to the
iconic McLaren F1, there is a 24-carat
gold heatshield in the engine bay, while
this bespoke McLaren also features a
track-focused MSO titanium harness
bar and six-point harnesses.

The MSO 720S Track theme has been
specially developed for those who
want to accentuate the car’s sporting
credentials. Boasting a range of
carbon fibre external components
and a striking Anniversary White paint
scheme with Tarocco Orange detailing,
it looks race-ready. But these details
aren’t just for show – the carbon
elements lower the weight, while
inside the extended gearshift
paddles and six-point harness
show true racing intent.

The beauty of the 720S is that despite
its staggering performance, it has
certain parallels to a Grand Tourer,
capable of covering long journeys in
great comfort. The MSO 720S GT vision
embraces that characteristic, majoring
on sophistication and understated
class. The evocative paint scheme
is Sarigan Quartz with gloss black
exterior details, complemented
by a luxurious interior finished in
Highland Hare Bespoke leather
with grey contrast stitching.

At MSO we have the ability to create
new and exciting paint schemes. We
work with the latest developments
in interior and exterior material
technologies. Our extended Carbon
Fibre range is available in special tints to
further individualise your McLaren. Take
a look at just a small selection we have
chosen from a wide range of options to
make your vehicle more exclusive.
Your 720S is a pioneering supercar
from the moment it leaves the McLaren
Production Centre, but MSO can
transform it into a statement of your
own – a truly personal vision. You can
hand-pick individual components,
enhancements and finishes from a rich
menu of options, all of which can be
selected through your McLaren retailer
or via our online configurator. The
starting choices are body colour and
alloy wheel selection, both of which
come vividly to life once introduced
to the diverse MSO colour palette.
But that is only the start.

You can evolve your 720S with an
array of lightweight carbon fibre
components that not only look
sensational but also help to lower the
car’s already low weight even further.
External items such as a carbon fibre
hood, carbon fibre rear aero bridges,
rear deck and engine cover, extended
sill covers in carbon fibre and even
carbon fibre mirror arms all add street
presence to the already astonishing
looks of the 720S.

The Personal Touch
Whether you are curating a tailored
interior by combining the highest
quality materials with MSO bespoke
colours and contrast stitching, or
creating a high-performance driving
environment with sports seats,
five-point harness and enhanced
instrument pack, MSO can build a
McLaren tailored to your vision. Specify
a unique wheel finish or make a
statement with a stylish carbon fibre
tint – MSO offers you inspiration
throughout every step of the design
process. Whatever your wishes, the
creation of your car is a passion to be
shared with the team at McLaren
Special Operations.
Each and every McLaren is special, but
owners still want the opportunity to put
their own stamp on their car, to tailor it
explicitly to match their own tastes. MSO
offers a range of unique enhancement
options for the Sports Series – the 570S,
570S Spider and 570GT – from McLaren
Orange or Speed Yellow seatbelts that
add a striking dash of colour to the
interior, to lightweight carbon fibre
components or an MSO Defined Titanium
SuperSports Exhaust. These choices,
which enable you to enhance the
appearance and sound of your McLaren,
can be selected through your McLaren
retailer or via our online configurator.

The MSO workshop is where your

Highly skilled operatives from
our engineering and paintshop
departments, with decades of history
to draw on, will craft and refurbish/
upgrade your vehicle to the highest
standards. Each production bay
is configured for the type of work
undertaken and assigned to a senior

The MSO workshop has some of
the longest-serving members of
staff at McLaren – all of them united
by one simple value: a passion for
perfection. They possess a level of
expertise in carbon fibre fabrication,
paint application and restoration and
maintenance of classic and historic
road and racing cars that is not
available elsewhere.

Passion For Perfection
MSO has a team of 10 Bespoke paint
technicians with over 65 years’ McLaren
service between them. They’ve
produced more than 200 special colour
variations in the last two years, and
the team is developing new finishes,
most recently a paint containing real
diamonds for a sparkling effect. Some
new colours begin as unusual requests
– on one occasion an art collector
in New York wanted to duplicate a
particular colour in a famous painting.
That customer now has several
McLarens, all finished in the same MSO
Bespoke shade. Our Bespoke Liaison
Managers can help you make these
limitless choices.
MSO was established to help our
customers realise their dreams.
It sits at the very heart of our
mission, offering a limitless level of
enhancement. Our incomparable levels
of personal service put you at the very
centre of the creative process, and
our skilled engineers deliver unique
vehicles whose only boundaries are
your inspiration. From creating a
bespoke carbon fibre weave pattern,
choosing unique paint and trim options
– we can colour-match anything you
wish – through to making far more
substantive changes, our team thrives
on a challenge. They can even be
tasked with the creation of a truly
unique McLaren. The Formula 1™inspired, lightweight, carbon fibre
chassis at the heart of every McLaren
offers unprecedented freedom to make
radical exterior changes. It’s possible to
combine a new ‘coachwork’ body with
the original mechanical componentry
and engineering purity of a McLaren.
McLarens are by definition exclusive,
but customers undertaking such
far-reaching projects create truly
priceless one-of-a-kind vehicles.
The MSO experience is a
creative process with you at the
centre, turning your ideas into
one-of-a-kind reality
