    2016 McLaren 650S Can-AmBack in the ’60s and 70’s McLaren established itself as a leading force in one of the most extreme types of races, indeed the Cam-Am with winning five consecutive championships between 1967 and 1971. Impressive, right? And now, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the 1966 season, McLaren Special Operations (MSO) created a special lineup of 650s Can-Am models. The sweetie will be available for purchase in the Spring of 2016, exactly 50 years from the first race at Mont Tremblant, Canada. And being fully dedicated to the anniversary, the McLaren team will produce only 50 units.

    In fact, the Can-Am series, or more precisely, the Canadian-American Challenge Cup series was a fierce battle around the most iconic circuits in North America and Canada. These races attracted the best drivers and even Graham Hill, John Surtees, Jackie Stewart and Bruce McLaren participated in the events.

    In fact, key to the success of the Can-Am racers was the use of advanced technologies and components. The engineering team used mainly lightweight aluminum and mallite, along with carbon-fiber components for the MonoCell chassis. Furthermore, carbon material was also used for the bonnet, Airbrake, front splitter, rear bumper centre, door blades and more. MSO has also created and special lightweight forged alloy wheels, inspired by the 1960’s race era. The vehicles also include carbon-fiber louvered front wings and fresh quad-exit polished stainless steel exhaust system. Sweet, huh?

    And just like the original 650S Spider, the new-old machine is geared with the award-winning 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that produces a total of 641 hp (471 kW) and 678 Nm (500 lb-ft) of torque. This combination takes the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) for mere three seconds and offers a top speed of 329 km/h (204 mph).

    And when it comes to exterior colors, McLaren knows how it’s done. The launch color is a Mars Red, inspired by the M1B, raced by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon in the debut season. The second color is a Papaya Spark which gives that contemporary appearance and the last one is Onyx Black which is similar to the base color used by many of McLaren’s customers in later seasons.

In other words, every McLaren on display at the even will be an emphasis of a milestone or ‘moment’ from company’s history. There are even some models which have been prepared to pay tribute to legendary drivers who have driven for the team over the years.

    McLaren P1 Prost

    Starting with the Ultimate Series, it will be represented by a special P1 model, created by MSO. It will honor Alain Prost, who was a four-time Formula 1 world champion. The livery of the car is inspired by the patriotic French livery of his helmet he worn during the competitions. In other words, the carbon fiber body work of the car is painted in white and includes blue graphics and red highlights.

    Why it is so special? The reason for this is that it is one of only three examples that were designed and built to homologate the McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ for GT racing during the 1997 season. Its features livery that mimics the monochrome design of the Formula 1 team during the late 1990s. World titles were secured by the Finnish racing driver Mika Hakkinen in 1998 and 1999.

    Super Series

    Next is the Super Series will be represented by the limited-run 675LT model. It celebrates Denny Hulme and the company’s founder Bruce McLaren, who achieved success together in Formula 1 and the Can-Am series. Later, their dominance became famous under the ‘Bruce and Denny Show’ name. Here, the car has been inspired by Hulme’s iconic helmet design featuring two black stripes, running front to rear, over contrasting Silica White bodywork. There are also yellow tinted headlamp lenses that echo Hulme’s visor.

    Furthermore, McLaren 650S Spider completes the model line-up on static display. It is one of the most important models in the Super Series and pays homage to the founder of the team, Bruce McLaren. It is finished in the iconic heritage McLaren Orange. This color is used to match his M7A Formula 1 car in which he claimed the first Formula 1 win for the team in 1968.

    2015 McLaren P1 by McLaren Special Operations (MSO) in red and black is the latest creation from MSO which is already conquering the streets in the United Kingdom. The car looks like it has just escaped from hell, doesn’t it? And what makes it even more attractive is that it is absolutely one-off.

    The black and red design theme hasn’t been applied only on the outside, but also on the inside. Starting first with the exterior, this P1 has adopted very well the idea of the two-tone paint scheme. From what we can see there is a rear wing that also features those two colors, and this accounts for the roof scoop and the diffuser as well.

    The lightweight wheels didn’t escape the two-tone treatment. They originally come in a black paint scheme but have been contrasted by bright red stripes and accents.

    Inside, MSO created a devilish interior featuring a lot of carbon fiber and high-quality materials like Alcantara. In general, the cabin has been made black, but through vicious design expertise the specialists used the red for the stitching, center console, steering wheel, air vents and doors.

    This P1 is not only supremely looking but it is actually a very potent hybrid supercar. It is powered by 3.8 litre V8 with engine block casting which incorporates the electric motor. The total output that it produces has been rated at 903 hp (664 kW) and 850 Nm (627 l-ft) of torque.

Well, first of all it is a McLaren P1, secondly – it has been updated by MSO a.k.a. McLaren Special Operations, and third, it is absolutely one-off. It is actually one of the 375 P1 hybrid supercars that have been sold within an instant after the premiere of the car during the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, and it has been individualized according to the tastes of Kyte.

    To go into details, the exterior of the car has received a blue paint scheme contrasted by bright red stripes and accents. The highlighting color can be seen used for the side skirts, front splitter, door surrounds and on the rear diffuser.

    Inside, we manage to see Alcantara throughout and carbon fiber elements on the center console and side sills. The latter has also received “McLaren Special Operations” lettering. The lightweight material has been extensively used due to the fact that the weight of the P1 should be kept low at only 1,400 kg (3,086 lbs).

    To remind you, the P1 is actually starting a trend of new hybrid supercars. It is powered by 3.8 litre V8 unit with engine block casting that incorporates the electric motor. The total output that it produces has been rated at 903 hp (664 kW) and 850 Nm (627 l-ft) of torque.

  • McLaren Reveals 570S Coupe One Day Ahead of Debut

    McLaren 570S Coupe Front and Side ViewGreat News! McLaren has actually revealed the 570S Coupe a day before the start of the New York Auto Show. The first in the trilogy Sports Series family is typical for the brand due to its design cues and aggressive sports characteristics. At its heart this is a pure sports car. It has a layout optimized for the driver and shows spectacular performance.

    It is no secret (given the name) that this McLaren will be capable of 570PS (562bhp). What’s not known however is the fact that it can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62 mph) in only 3.2 seconds, while the 200 km/h (124 mph) is covered in 9.5 seconds. The top speed stands at 328 km/h (204mph).

    The other important fact about the 3.8-litre V8 twin turbo engine is that it includes 30 percent of bespoke components, specific to the model. Next to the 570PS at 7400 rpm, the car can also achieve 600Nm (443 lb-ft) of optimum torque at 5000-6000 rpm. This power is distributed to the rear wheels via seven-speed SSG transmission.

    Furthermore, this coupe is actually the first one to carry a specific body-style, which will be then applied to the other vehicles in the Sports Series. Its great power characteristics are due to the bespoke aerodynamic package added to its bodywork.

    The aero kit adds aero blades below the front bumper, huge bright LEDs in the headlights and in the blade rear lamps, sculpted bonnet, new design for the doors, aluminium rear fenders and a signature concave rear window. Also notice the twin exhausts exit below the rear bumper.

    What we can’t see however is the brand new suspension system that utilizes adaptive dampers with front and rear anti-roll bars. Behind the Pirelli Zero Corsa tyres on the new alloys there are carbon ceramic brakes.

    The minimized weight of the car due to the aero components and the carbon fibre MonoCell II chassis not only results in great performance, but also contributes towards fuel efficiency of 25.5mpg and CO2 emissions of 258g/km.

    The cabin of every 570S features standard leather wrapped sports seats, dashboard and steering wheel, more stowage space and wide range of technology tweaks like the full infotainment system.

    Additional details will be confirmed tomorrow after McLaren 570S debuts at the New York Auto Show.
