McLaren Automotive has revealed it spent the last eight month designing and building ten unique race-inspired McLarens.

The MSO X series is comprised of 10 McLaren 570S GT4-based cars, which are road legal.

They all feature a race-inspired wing, providing almost an extra 100kg of downforce. In addition, a carbon fibre roof snorkel inspired by the McLaren F1 GTR Longtail increases induction airflow.

McLaren sales and marketing executive director Jolyon Nash says cars from McLaren’s MSO branch are usually driven by customers’ individual desires.

“Customers come to us with their thoughts and ideas and MSO works with them to set boundaries within which they can then let their imaginations run wild.

“What could be better than a McLaren buyer playing the role of ‘race engineer’ in briefing the MSO team and directing them to test and validate those ideas to create a race-bred road car such as this?”

Dealer principal at McLaren Newport Beach Pietro Frigerio says he’s impressed with how quickly the project was carried out and completed.

“The aim of this project was to have a serious track car that could still be driven on the road and this finished project screams ‘race car’ to the casual onlooker,” says Frigerio.
