Sexiness unleashed: McLaren Senna Carbon Edition to debut at Geneva Show

2018-McLaren-Senna-910 McLaren Senna will definitely raise the heartbeat at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. With its exclusive Visual Carbon Fiber body kit and the McLaren Special Operations design team the vehicle demonstrates how a contemporary sportscar should look like.

Created of a total of 67 individual parts, the body set required more than1,000 hours to be produced. And given that it is also functional and not only visually appealing, this design project would definitely remain one of the best in the 88^th Geneva Show edition.

2018 McLaren Senna Carbon Edition

The carbon-fiber gray and sporty yellow patterns are carried through the interior and continue this sexy and stylish concept with even the smallest details. The cabin welcomes everyone to a place, dominated by Carbon Black Alcantara and next-gen electronics. Both seats feature the already S logo and share this very same gray-yellow color pattern.

2018 McLaren Senna Carbon Edition

In fact, McLaren Special Operations also takes the opportunity to reveal Senna’s new wheel option. The standard wheels are available in three color finishes, while the exclusive ones, the MSO 7-Spoke Hybrid Carbon Fiber Wheels are what really catches the eye. These are not only super beautiful, but also handy – they are with a total of 10 per cent lighter, comparted to the original McLaren wheels. This also means one more thing: the lightweight body design and the special shape contribute for better rotating inertia, better acceleration and deceleration. Cool!

And as we talk about personalization, Senna comes with tons of customizable features. To name just a few, the vehicle can be specified with Diamond Cut or Stealth finish, all along with Memphis Red and Vega Blue satin finish and numerous more.

2018 McLaren Senna Carbon Edition

And one more thing. There are just 500 units produced and all of them are already booked. Each one is hand-assembled in Woking, Surrey, England and the whole process has taken about 300 hours. Of course, the vehicles with exclusive personalizing tweaks would take more time to be constructed and delivered, but as we like to say, good things require time, don’t they?

Wheelsandmore reveals the heavily revised McLaren 570 GT

2017 Wheelsandmore McLaren 570 GT So, Wheelsandmore team manage to refine one more McLaren machine. You do remember the P1, MP4-12C and the 675LT? Of course you do. And here we are reviewing one more of these beauties. Personally tweaked by the skilled hands of Wheelsandmore engineers.

This McLaren 570GT is a powerful and confident vehicle by itself. However, there are people who do want even more. And these people have brought us a fine and extremely advanced sports car that impresses both with character and performance capabilities. The stock V8 with a total of 650hp and 700Nm has been heavily revised in order to deliver the final 650hp (485kW) and 700Nm. This notable result is achieved by installing sporty catalytic converters and adding a special, exclusive low-pressure exhaust system. Of course, these additions requre a dedicated software. One such was delivered and contributes to a super-fast sprint of 3.1 seconds for reaching 0-100km/h. Sweet.

2017 Wheelsandmore McLaren 570 GT

Also worth mentioning is the suspension system. The advansed springs not only contribute for more stable and confident track behavior, but also show off with special lift function. This makes it possible for the vehicle to avoid damage to the front spoiler and underbody. Handy, isn’t it?

Of course, this is an eye-catcher. All McLaren vehicles strike with extremely sexy design and this one is not excluded from the list. The cool thing is that Wheelsandmore team have managed to tweak the looks in a pretty elegant way: they have kept the stock design and have added just a bit of exclusive features in order to enhance the original appearance. As you might have noticed already, the most prominent addition are the handmade forged rims. These are lightweight forged goodies that are wrapped by 235/30/20 and 295/30/21 ContiSportContact 6 tires. Sweet.

Sweet.

In terms of handling system, there is a new adjustable spring system installed. The special thing about this one is the lift function on the front axles: it prevents damage to the front spoiler and underbody. Of course, this isn’t all. In order to be able to meet all kind of sport requirements, the vehicle shows off with exclusive all-purose 235/30/20 ContiSportContact 6 tiWres that wrap exclusive 9×20-inch F.I.W.E. forged rims and 12×21 inch wheels with 295/30/21 tires for the front axle.

Attractive McLaren P1 GTR looks like the MP4/31 racer. Here’s the truth about it

The company honors the track-only hyper car with this special edition

McLaren has just published two images on Facebook. They show a couple of vehicles sharing the same livery. If you are an F1 enthusiast, then you have immediately recognized that the P1 GTR has received a lick of F1’s paint.

Indeed, the Rocket Red and Predatory Grey never looked so good, didn’t they? So, why do we have this special edition car shown on McLaren’s social page? Obviously, the brand decided to honor the track-only hypercar with a special edition. Of course, the entire customization work was done by the McLaren Special Operations (MSO) division, and the specialists there fitted it with the unique orange-grey livery.

Does it however duplicate F1 car’s livery? Yes, in my opinion it does that in the absolute maximum… with a little pinch. Therefore they have tastefully applied orange stripes and elements at the sides and the rear, making the P1 GTR looking even meaner. The front and rearview mirrors are also beautifully accentuated with the contrasting bright color.

Under the hood, there’s still the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine in full operation. It is connected to an electric motor, both generating 1,000 hp (735 kW). As for the McLaren-Honda MP4/31, it will be at the Spa in Belgium this weekend.

What this sweetheart accentuates on is the aural experience both for the driver and onlookers, thanks to the new MSO Exhaust system. Created from titanium and lighter stainless steel, the MSO Exhaust delivers richer and more defined tone, along with some neat visuals as golden titanium nitride tint that changes color to blue/purple as the whole system heats up. Cool.

And as we talk about colors and visuals, the McLaren 570GT by MSO Concept comes in neat Elite ‘Pearl White’, combined with MSO Piano Black pack that brings deep glossy finish to the wheels, side skirts, front and rear door inserts and other details.

Also exclusive for this particular vehicle is the Electro-Chromic Roof. What it does is to take the standard-fit glass roof with UV-protective interlayer and adds electro-chromic interlayer (you don’t say!). And by using touch-sensitive headlining, the Electro-Chromic Roof can be tweaked in five ways, depending on the desire of driver and passengers.

Interior styling

The cabin features a thing called ‘By McLaren’ luxury components in Saddle Tan with integrated 12-speaker Bowser and Wilkins Hi-Fi system. There are numerous carbon-fiber components, as well tons of rich gloss finishes onto numerous details. Sweet.

The heart of the beast

Of course, looks and comfort are nothing without a comprehensive drivetrain system, when it comes to sports car, right? And with no exception, this sweetie is doing just fine, as it comes to power and performance.

The 570GT is geared with McLaren-developed 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 M838TE engine, producing a total of 570hp (425kW) and 600Nm of torque. This massive power is controlled by a seven-speed seamless-shift gearbox that further offers a choice of three driving modes: Normal, Sport and Track, also known as Fast, Super Fast, Super-Mega Fast.

And by Fast we mean really fast: this sweetie finishes the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in mere 3.4 seconds, the 0-200km/h (124mph) in 9.8 seconds and has a top speed of 328km/h (204mph).

McLaren 570S Sprint is the supercar you need to see in action [w/video]

McLaren 570S Sprint makes global debut at the famous Hillclimb

Goodwood Festival of Speed is about to hail the static and dynamic world debut of McLaren 570S Sprint! The model is “track-only”, so don’t expect to see it in the dealership around the corner. On the contrary, you will find it thrilling the crowds on the famous Hill run. In addition, it will be on public display in the Supercar Paddock next to the McLaren P1 GTR, 650S Can-Am, 570S Coupe and the 675LT Coupe. Another example of the model can be spotted at McLaren’s central location that is adjacent to Goodwood House.

In short, the 570S Sprint is intended for track-enthusiasts, who don’t want the restrictions of any race series. What does this mean? Basically, the power and torque levels of the supercar have been upgraded making sure that there are maximum levels of driver engagement and the best levels of noise. If you are going to Goodwood, you will literally hear what we are talking about.

Built around the carbon fibre MonoCell II chassis, this McLaren is powered by a mid-mounted 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 engine mated to a seven speed SSG transmission. Other unique parts of the equipment include enhanced cooling (delivered by front centre GT3-inspired high temp radiator), new design for the front splitter and floor assembly.

McLaren 570S Sprint rear view

In terms of aerodynamics, 570S Sprint benefits from large carbon fibre fixed rear wing and front dive planes. This actually brings about the highest level of downforce compared to any of the model in the Sports Series. Supporting the track-inspired driving are the centre-locking lightweight cast magnesium wheels shod with Pirelli racing slicks.

On the inside (sadly we don’t have any pictures to show), the supercar has been stripped out. As it should be. It includes driver-focused cabin, featuring FIA-approved rollcage, flat back driver and (optional) passenger seats, and fire extinguisher system.

If we caught your attention then you might want to see a preview of the 570S Sprint in action. The video below is intense! Also, take a look at the photos in the gallery below and turn on the full-screen mode. I’ve never seen an automotive photographer, who has done their job so well! Just wow!

McLaren 570S Sprint is priced at £148,000. First deliveries are expected next year.

McLaren reveals details for the stunning MSO Carbon Series LT beast

McLaren Special Operations, the well-known division of McLaren Automotive, has announced the creation of the MSO Carbon Series LT. Limited to only 25 vehicles, all already sold, the Series were created in response to the numerous requests by brand’s enthusiasts.

Based on the 675LT Spider, the Carbon Series LT lineup is entirely based on weight reductions and tons of aerodynamics optimization. As the name suggests, there are numerous carbon-fiber components that not only contribute to vehicle’s light body weight, but also enhance the aesthetics and show how capable brand’s engineers are.

Exterior looks

As we said, there are numerous carbon-fiber components. Excuse us. We meant that there are tons of carbon-fiber in this beauty. Only some of the parts, made of the light fabric are the front bumper, front under body, side skirts, side intakers, the lower side intakers, the rear fenders, rear deck, rear bumper, diffuser and the Longtail Airbrake. Also, the Carbon Series LT is geared with glossy carbon-fiber electronically retractable roof and tenneu, A-pillars, bonnet and rear deck. How cool is that?

Long story short, MSO Carbon Series LT comes with a total of 40% more carbon-fiber, compared a standard vehicle. So far, so good. But what is it under the bonnet?

Drivetrain system

The vehicle comes with a heavily reinforced 3.8-liter twin turbo V8 engine, taken from its Coupe sibling. This unit produces a total of 666hp (497kW) and 700Nm between 5,000 and 6,500rpm. The changes to the engine include component replacements in order to optimise the level of power, along with more precise torque distribution. Also, the turbo system is more efficient, just like the cylinder head movement and exhaust manifolds.

All this means that the carbon beast can sprint from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in mere 2,9 seconds and from 0 to 200km/h (124mph) in 8.1 seconds. And with the aid of the improved torque delivery that ensures maximum acceleration and minimum wheel slip, the top speed is 326km/h (203mph). Impressive.

Production of the MSO Carbon Series LT will start this autumns. This will be the time when more details will be revealed. Stick with us in the meantime!
