This is a one-off McLaren 720S finished in stunning satin black with gold wheels. The car is set for display at the Dubai International Motor Show 2017 that kicks off today. In a nod to the McLaren F1, there’s a 24-carat gold engine heatshield and gold-coloured interior components. MSO (McLaren Special Operations) have surely offered up some of their best work ever here.
A plaque inside the car identifies it as a ‘1 of 1’ MSO commission, a fact also communicated by the unique rear wing that bears part of a famous quote* by McLaren founder, Bruce McLaren: ‘Life is measured in achievement, not in years alone’, is painted across the upper surface of the wing in gold Arabic lettering, stylised to echo the Dubai city skyline.
To personalise the car added more than 120 hours to the production process. The rear wing alone took 30 hours to complete, using stencils produced by the MSO design visualisation team to achieve the desired dramatic visual impact of the gold lettering. As this is a unique piece there is no price. However, to spec your own MSO vehicle you’ll be looking at in excess or around £250,000.
