McLaren exposes P1 in naked carbon fiber

McLaren only sells two vehicles (three, if you count the recently discontinued P1 hypercar), but it's promising an impressive and expansive display at next month's Geneva Motor Show. The 675LT and 570S will be joined by a pair of unique one-off vehicles from McLaren Special Operations. The headliner will be the P1 hypercar, not only because it's based on an extremely rare vehicle, but because it's absolutely stunning. MSO has ditched the paint in favor of leaving the carbon fiber body exposed with nothing more than a Lio Blue lacquer. We likey. Combined with the more traditional carbon-fiber accents, this bespoke P1 will probably stand out more than any of its 374 brothers. That's not all that's happening here, though. To pay tribute to the legendary McLaren F1, the team at MSO has covered the exhaust heatshield in 24-karat gold. The other one-off will be based on the new 675LT Spider. The Ceramic Gray paint is paired with extra carbon-fiber accents, including the entire folding roof and tonneau cover. While it's nowhere near as extensive as the P1, the extra carbon fiber on the front bumper endplates, airbrake, intakes, and rear bumper is arguably the standout about this one-off droptop. And like the P1, the exhaust heatshield is made from 24-karat gold. We'll have more on this beautiful twosome when they make their big debut at Geneva. MSO PAYS CARBON FIBRE TRIBUTE TO McLAREN P1™ AND WELCOMES 675LT SPIDER AT 2016 GENEVA MOTOR SHOW McLaren Special Operations (MSO) pays carbon fibre tribute to the outgoing McLaren P1™ MSO crafts carbon fibre-themed 675LT Spider as fastest ever, street legal convertible McLaren, which makes its public debut at Geneva after selling out in weeks Full McLaren model line-up on display showcasing the Sports Series, Super Series and Ultimate Series New stand location at the Geneva Motor Show, Stand 6040, Hall 6 McLaren Automotive will attend the Geneva Motor Show for the fourth time this year with its largest ever stand in a new location, showcasing the largest range of models from the full three-tier model line-up. Among the headlines, McLaren Special Operations (MSO) will pay a carbon fibre tribute to the McLaren P1™ which recently ceased production. MSO has also created a bespoke version of the 675LT Spider which makes its first public appearance at the show after selling out in weeks.

McLaren shows off new grand tourer in light camo

McLaren announced its upcoming grand tourer model at the Geneva Motor Show last month. The yet-unnamed GT will not be part of any established McLaren series, but rather doing its own luxury thing as a newcomer. We presume there are a number of McLaren customers who, while appreciative of the brand's image and engineering, would put a premium on cabin comfort and highway legs rather than outright supercar intensity – not that McLarens usually come that stripped. The manufacturer has now released new teaser images of the carbon-monocoque car, without any obscuring plastics, just camo on the grand tourer's flanks. The design appears pleasingly un-gimmicky, in a classic 2000s supercar way — there's certainly a touch of Ferrari about it. But what sets the upcoming model apart from usual supercar fare will be its cabin: reportedly comfortable and spacious enough to complete a 1,000-mile jaunt from Woking to Barcelona in one go, complete with a full set of luggage on board. McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt dubbed the grand tourer "the most useable mid-engine car yet" at the Geneva event. Engineering a supercar-shaped vehicle to have useable trunk space must be a challenge, but the production car is said to be able to transport a full set of golf clubs or two pairs of 6-foot-long skis and associated ski boots — in other words, what a McLaren owner would happily pack for a continental holiday. The powertrain of the grand tourer will consist of a twin-turbo V8, with electrification to help it reach the kind of range needed in a comfortable continent-crossing car.
