McLaren Special Operations, the division responsible for the company’s bespoke projects, has unveiled a new concept car based on the McLaren 12C coupe that showcases customizing ideas for those wishing to make their McLaren more distinctive.
Unlike the radical X-1 one-off project, the MSO 12C Concept is still recognizable as a McLaren 12C. The coupe sports a series of bespoke features including a revised bonnet, front wing louvres, rear wing vents, a unique Airbrake and a new roof featuring an integrated snorkel channelling air to the engine. All these bespoke elements are crafted in lightweight carbon fibre.
The bespoke 12C features lightweight wheels that have been diamond cut in a new design. McLaren Special Operations also added titanium parts including wheel bolts, oil and water filler caps, which further contribute to reducing the weight of the car.
On the inside, the 12C gains more carbon fiber upgrades including body color switch packs and bezels, as well as a new instrument cluster with integrated shift lights.
McLaren Special Operations asked on its Facebook page which of the upgrades seen on the 12C Concept should be produced. I’d say all build them all, MSO.
