McLaren’s so-known as “Special Operations” (MSO) branch has been undertaking cool stuff for years, even back when the division was recognized as the McLaren Consumer Care Plan and tasked only with sustaining McLaren owners’ F1s in the 1990s (which inherently qualifies as “cool stuff”). These days, MSO offers everything from carbon-fiber aero kits to fully rebodied a single-offs for the most moneyed of McLaren-isti. So broad is MSO’s portfolio of solutions that McLaren has decided to organize the secretive outfit’s a variety of personalization endeavors along 5 tiers: MSO Defined, MSO Bespoke, MSO Restricted, MSO Heritage, and MSO Applications. Here’s what every single element entails:


MSO Defined: essentially carbon-fiber interior and exterior trim pieces, such as the extended side blades and aero addenda that McLaren bolted onto its hot MSO 650S notion earlier this year.


MSO Bespoke: every thing from custom stitching on the seats to special paint and leather colors to full a single-off bodies such as the, um, creative, 12C-primarily based X-1 idea from 2012. McLaren says that 20 % of all 650S models and 95 % of all P1s constructed this year feature some degree of MSO Bespoke content.


MSO Restricted: low-volume, unique-edition models, like the McLaren 50 12C and the aforementioned MSO 650S.


MSO Heritage: service, upkeep, and personalization for vintage F1 and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren models.


MSO Applications: production, preparation, and upkeep of upcoming McLaren P1 GTR Driver Plan cars.




Custom upfitting of exotic sports automobiles is absolutely nothing new, of course, and we envision that the high-rollers who sashay into a McLaren showroom with a blank verify care tiny about which internal subdivision does what to their new ride they just spec it out and wait for it to arrive. But for us mere fanboys, these juicy particulars provide daydream fodder about the factors we may do with a McLaren if we had unlimited sources at our disposal. How much is this week’s Powerball jackpot once again?
