We exist to create these cars around an owner’s individual tastes. 04 05 McLaren Special Operations 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. 06 07 McLaren Special Operations One Of A Kind Where We Began McLaren Special Operations (MSO) offers the ultimate ability to build one-of-a-kind vehicles to match our clients’ exacting requirements. Personalisation for our Sports and Super Series models is available through the Defined and Bespoke ranges, including lightweight carbon fibre styling upgrades, interior enhancements and an extensive range of colour schemes and finishes. There are limitless possibilities, from subtle changes to completely new body styles. We have also produced distinctive, highly exclusive Limited Editions including the 650S Le Mans and MSO HS, and will continue to do so in the future. MSO also offers a range of products and services to further enhance your ownership experience for new and pre-owned models from the McLaren family. 08 09 McLaren Special Operations One Of A Kind The Choice Is Yours A specially commissioned McLaren P1™ in tinted Lio Blue visual carbon fibre 10 11 McLaren Special Operations Truly Bespoke Truly Bespoke A specially commissioned McLaren P1™ in tinted Lio Blue visual carbon fibre 10 11 McLaren Special Operations Truly Bespoke At MSO we believe in limitless possibilities.

MSO 720S Velocity Theme 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. 20 21 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO 720S Velocity The finishing touches come in the form of the Rear Aero Bridges and Rear Deck in Visual Carbon Fibre MSO 720S Velocity Theme Features MSO Bespoke Exterior Paint – Twin-tone colour of Nerello Red blended with Volcano Red MSO Carbon Fibre Hood with Nerello Red and Red Tinted Carbon Blend MSO Carbon Fibre Rear Aero Bridges MSO Carbon Fibre Rear Deck and Engine Cover MSO Carbon Fibre Extended Sill Covers MSO Carbon Fibre Facia Vents MSO Bronze Wheel Finish MSO Bespoke Velocity Interior (Carbon Black Alcantara/Harissa Red Leather) including optional Steering Wheel Centre Band 22 23 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO Dedication Plaque 22 23 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S The finishing touches come in the form of the Rear Aero Bridges and Rear Deck in Visual Carbon Fibre 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. 24 25 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO 720S Pacific MSO 720S Pacific Theme in Bespoke Kingfisher Blue paint with contrast Cobalt Blue tinted carbon fibre detailing MSO 720S Pacific Theme Features MSO Bespoke Exterior Paint – Kingfisher Blue MSO Bespoke Estoril Blue Exterior Door Theme MSO Tinted Carbon Fibre Front Splitter in Cobalt Blue MSO Tinted Carbon Fibre Front Air Intakes in Cobalt Blue MSO Tinted Carbon Fibre Roof in Cobalt Blue MSO Tinted Carbon Fibre Deck and Engine Cover in Cobalt Blue MSO Tinted Carbon Fibre Door Mirror Casings in Cobalt Blue MSO Tinted Carbon Fibre Rear Fender Air Intakes in Cobalt Blue MSO Dedication Plaque 26 27 McLaren Special Operations MSO Bespoke Pacific Interior (Full Slate Grey Alcantara featuring Diamond-Stitched Carbon Fibre racing seats with blue contrast stitch) including optional Steering Wheel Centre Band Five Visions Of 720S MSO Tinted Carbon Fibre Diffuser in Cobalt Blue 26 27 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO 720S Pacific Theme in Bespoke Kingfisher Blue paint with contrast Cobalt Blue tinted carbon fibre detailing Providing visual stimulation that evokes our motorsport heritage, the unique 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. 28 29 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO 720S Stealth MSO 720S Stealth Theme finished in Sarthe Grey with Vermillion Red pin-striping and Satin Black painted alloy wheels MSO 720S Stealth Theme Features MSO Bespoke Exterior Paint – Sarthe Grey with Vermillion Red Pin-Striping MSO Carbon Fibre Mirror Arms MSO Carbon Fibre Rear Aero Bridges MSO Carbon Fibre Rear Deck and Engine Cover MSO Carbon Fibre Extended Sill Covers MSO Carbon Fibre Steering Wheel with Extended Paddles MSO Carbon Fibre Facia Vents MSO Titanium Harness Bar and Six-Point Harness MSO 24-carat Gold Heatshield MSO Dedication Plaque 30 31 McLaren Special Operations MSO Bespoke Stealth Interior (Carbon Black Alcantara/Leather with Bright Red Contrast Stitch) including optional Wheel Centre Band Five Visions Of 720S MSO Satin Black Painted Wheels with Vermillion Red Detailing 30 31 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO 720S Stealth Theme finished in Sarthe Grey with Vermillion Red pin-striping and Satin Black painted alloy wheels 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. 32 33 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO 720S Track MSO 720S Track Theme in Bespoke Anniversary White with Gloss Black alloys with Tarocco Orange detailing MSO 720S Track Theme Features MSO Bespoke Exterior Paint – Anniversary White Satin Exterior Carbon Fibre Options Carbon Black and Tarocco Orange Exterior Detailing (gloss finish) to Bonnet, Doors, Rear Quarter Panels and Airbrake MSO Carbon Fibre Mirror Arms MSO Carbon Fibre Rear Aero Bridges MSO Carbon Fibre Rear Deck and Engine Cover MSO Carbon Fibre Extended Sill Covers MSO Carbon Fibre Steering Wheel with Extended Paddles MSO Carbon Fibre Facia Vents Gloss Black Painted Wheels with Tarocco Orange Detailing MSO Bespoke Track Interior (Full Jet Black Alcantara with McLaren Orange Contrast Stitch) including optional Wheel Centre Band Five Visions Of 720S Speedy Kiwi on Mirror Casings in Tarocco Orange 34 35 McLaren Special Operations MSO Dedication Plaque 34 35 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO 720S Track Theme in Bespoke Anniversary White with Gloss Black alloys with Tarocco Orange detailing 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. 36 37 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO 720S GT MSO GT Theme in Sarigan Quartz paint with Gloss Black accents MSO 720S GT Theme Features MSO Bespoke Exterior Paint – Sarigan Quartz MSO Gloss Painted Exterior Options MSO Carbon Fibre Rear Aero Bridges MSO Carbon Fibre Rear Deck and Engine Cover MSO Carbon Fibre Extended Sill Covers MSO Carbon Fibre Steering Wheel with Extended Paddles MSO Carbon Fibre Facia Vents MSO Bespoke GT Interior (full Highland Hare leather) with Grey Contrast Stitching 38 39 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO Dedication Plaque 38 39 McLaren Special Operations Five Visions Of 720S MSO GT Theme in Sarigan Quartz paint with Gloss Black accents 40 41 McLaren Special Operations The Personal Touch The Personal Touch 40 41 McLaren Special Operations The Personal Touch At MSO we have the ability to create new and exciting paint schemes.

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.

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.

We can also offer a discreet and confidential brokerage service on request. 56 57 58 59 McLaren Special Operations Passion For Perfection The MSO workshop is where your innovation and our creativity meet. 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 technician who takes ‘ownership’ for the entire process. Working on cars this rare and valuable gives our technicians a level of expertise that you simply cannot find anywhere else 60 61 McLaren Special Operations Passion For Perfection 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. 62 63 McLaren Special Operations 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 64 65 McLaren Special Operations Passion For Perfection Going Beyond To find out more about McLaren Special Operations, visit cars.mclaren.com/MSO or contact your local retailer All information, illustrations and specifications in this brochure are based on data available, and are correct at the time of issue.
