McLaren Automotive has released details of the new McLaren 570GT ahead of its debut on the 18th fairway at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance this Sunday. The car is the first example of the recently-introduced 570GT to receive the attention of McLaren’s custom team of craftsmen and designers. They have added styling, feature and material enhancements – such as an Electro-Chromic Roof – that are all destined to become available through the MSO Defined portfolio.
“This is the second consecutive year that McLaren Special Operations has used the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance to demonstrate our capabilities on Sports Series cars,” said Paul Mackenzie, Executive Director of McLaren Special Operations.
There’s a new MSO Exhaust system. Manufactured from titanium and 30% lighter than the standard stainless steel system, the MSO Exhaust takes from the 675LT project It’s described as “a progressively richer and more characterful tone more as the revs rise than the standard exhaust.” The MSO Exhaust’s heat shields are finished in a golden titanium nitride tint, visible through the rear air ducts. They naturally change color to a blue/purple as the system heats and cools through its cycle.
Externally, the 570GT by MSO Concept is finished in Elite ‘Pearl White’ paintwork. Complementing the Pearl White finish is an MSO Piano Black package. It’s said to deliver a deep gloss black finish to exterior details including the wheels, side skirt, front and rear and door inserts, as well as interior details.
