Two new design themes for the McLaren 720S have been brought to life as one-off commissions by the company’s bespoke division, namely, McLaren Special Operations (MSO).
The “Pacific Theme” and the “Track Theme” both follow their own respective design directions, featuring custom colourways and trim – and both follow in the footsteps of the 720S ‘Velocity’ that was readied by MSO for the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
The first of the new duo, the Pacific Theme, has been commissioned by McLaren Glasgow and is claimed to take the blue of the world’s largest and deepest ocean for its inspiration. It is painted in “Cerulean Blue”, as featured on the current McLaren F1 car, with its door intakes finished in a darker “Estoril Blue”. Additional details include blue-tinted carbon-fibre elements, namely, the roof, front splitter, air intakes, mirror casings, rear diffuser, rear deck and rear bumper and engine cover.
And the blue-coloured theme extends to the inside too, with the standard seats featuring bespoke blue inserts and contrast stitching. A blue centre band on the steering wheel serves as the finishing touch.
The 720S Track Theme, meanwhile, has been commissioned by McLaren Manchester and is finished in “Anniversary White” – a colour said to have been inspired by the championship-winning McLaren F1 cars of the 80’s. The exterior is set-off by hand-painted detailing to bonnet, doors, rear quarter panels and airbrake in “Carbon Black” and McLaren’s F1 colour from 2017, “Tarroco Orange”. Detailing in the same orange hue on the outer rim of the gloss black wheels and a ‘Speedy Kiwi’ logo on the mirror casings complete the exterior enhancements.
All of the Track Theme’s exterior and interior carbon-fibre components also get a weight-saving satin finish. The cabin is trimmed in black Alcantara with orange contrast stitching. A titanium harness bar – typically 50% lighter than a steel version – is installed and can also be fitted with a six-point harness for track use.
